Deraldin Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 W00T! Montreal shelled Kipper for 5 goals and a win tonight! Unbeaten in regulation in 5 now! :D Unfortunately Downey has a concussion thanks to Regher. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kor Qel Droma Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Malkins' NHL debut is set for a few minutes from now. I hope he doesn't go out as early as he did in the preseason.

mkreku Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I can't put my finger on the Leafs. Sometimes they play like a team with speed, finesse and skill. Then other times (like against Colorado) they make mistakes, they fail to capitalize and they.. suck. Sometimes it feels like "if they only get some of the injured players back and the veterans going all will be well" and other times (like after the Colorado game) it's more like "WE DON'T BELONG IN THE NHL, WE'D BE BETTER OFF IN THE AHL!!". Inconsistant. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Tonight was a good night to have my center ice package. I split most of my time between the Pittsburgh/Islanders ( 5 points between Gonchar and Crosby) and the Tampa/Philly game ( I have four players in one pool, and three of them doubled up in the points department this evening). Now I'm watching San Jose make Detroit pay every opportunity they get on the powerplay. And Matt Carle is turning into a great pick in my sportsnet pool. Great call, Hurlshot.

Hurlshort Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Carle is even more impressive than I imagined. I know everyone expects Malkin to take off with the Rookie of the year hardware, but if Carle keeps racking up the points AND playing solid D, I'm not sure how he won't win it. Why do they even let Osgood play anymore? I swear I predicted the Sharks would chase him, although I didn't expect it so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well it seems as though somebody waived Joe Sakic. I plan on sticking with Briere and Gomez, but should I drop Kopitar for Sakic? 99.9% of me is thinking yes, but there's that bit of me that is worried that Kopitar might do something miraculous. Bah, who am I kidding, Joe Sakic should still do better than Anze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Colorado revolves around Joe Sakic, soI'd say he's a better choice. He's getting old, but he still gets all the great minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkpoint Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Yay, I'll be able to catch my first Oiler game of the season against the Wings!

Kor Qel Droma Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Between Matt Carle and Gionta and Gomez I've rocketed up from the basement of my sportsnet pool to somewhere in the high 2000 of over 40000+ people. I don't think I'll beat last years top placing, where I managed to come in third for one week. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Hurlshort Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Wow, 1 AM games don't sound much better than 4 AM games. In fact, I'd rather wake up early than stay up that late. Hmm, I wonder if I'm looking at the timezones correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Something tells me that Schmarthie could be convinced to stay up late quite easily. Buffalo wins again, and Philly drops yet another game. Right now I'm half paying attention to the Wild/Ducks game. I like watching Minny, but the minute I saw Pronger on the teevee I felt like I threw up a little inside. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

alanschu Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Awwww. Someone else got Sakic on the Waiver Wire. But he dropped Frolov to do it. Given the injury to Havlat, I may be able to put Havlat on the IR and pick up Frolov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 At least the Leafs rebounded with a comfortable away victory over Columbus Blue Jackets. Am I the only one surprised over Columbus weak start this season? It feels like they have all the pieces (except a skilled face-off man), but can't figure out the puzzle.

alanschu Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 No, I will always have perennial loser in my mind with that team. They'll surprise me if they do well, even if you were to say take New Jersey's lineup and swap it with the Blue Jackets, I'd still expect the Blue Jackets to suck.

Checkpoint Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Something tells me that Schmarthie could be convinced to stay up late quite easily. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 4 am is in that awkward do-I-stay-up-for-the-game-or-do-I-go-to-sleep-and-wake-up-insanely-early-instead zone. "Luckily" they don't show those games very often anyway, and this time it'll be on around noon tomorrow so I'll watch it after I get up. I don't have a problem with games starting at 1 am or 2 am, though (I watched a good deal of those in the playoffs). ^Yes, that is a good observation, Checkpoint. /God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 During the Olympics, I was waking up at 3 AM to watch hockey. It was awesome, I basically spent all morining doing it. It was during a vacation week, so I figured it was destiny. I even bought a new couch for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkpoint Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 There is something special about those late night/early morning sports events. You sit there wrapped up in a blanket with some coffee or even soda and snacks, and it's all quiet, dark and still outside. It's nice. ^Yes, that is a good observation, Checkpoint. /God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) I managed a decent night in both of my hockey pools yesterday. I'm tied for second with my Alan assisted team, and I also crawled into about 1600th spot in the sportsnet pool. If any of you are interested in joining up in the latter, Here is the registration link. It's pretty simple: pick your players for the week by monday, and the top weekly point getter is entered into a draw for something lame. It's more bragging rights than anything. If anyone does join up, let me know and we can make a group thing out of it. Edited October 21, 2006 by Kor Qel Droma Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

Deraldin Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) Looks like Ottawa has figured out how to score again. 8 goals. And Jose Theodore got hammered for 8 goals in Montreal. Edited October 22, 2006 by Deraldin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 There's this real loudmouthed teenager who loves the Avs. If he's working tomorrow I think the chances are good he won't be too impressed with Theodore. Talk about 'had it and lost it'. Oddly enough, the same kid was asking me about Arthurs Irbe the other day. I bet if Jose didn't have the ginormous contract Colorado wouldn't have a prooblem sending him to the minors to find his game. Let's see, I spent the bulk of my time watching Tampa and Washington tonight. In between periods I switched to Colombus and Pittsburgh. Crosby and Malkin together look like they could be the next Sakic & Forsberg. Then it was off to watch the shootout from Toronto. Close, but no cigar Mkreku? And now I see Marion Gaborik is on the shelf. Here's hoping he doesn't go all Tuommo Ruutu on us. Between he and Forsberg... <_< Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

mkreku Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Yeah, I can't believe how much the Leafs suck in the shootout. Of course, they're trying to score on Lundkvist.. not as easy as it sounds. I wish the Leafs could find a way to win a few. They just can't afford to miss the playoffs again. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
