Gaborik just got his hat trick and looks like the Avs are going to lose their third straight.....

Avs score......

GO AVS!!!

:D.....more because I hate Berschmoochi than because of any bet. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Gotta be loving Detroit not in the playoff picture this year... Sharks look the real deal this year... hopefully they don't have an early exit in the playoffs like last year.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Are you kidding? The 10th place team is 10 points out of a 5th seed. Let alone only 3 points to the 8th seed. Wings are 10 points out of the 3rd seed. 10 points is a great week and a half in the NHL :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Tonight is the night that the B's play to the potential thaty can play at.
I don't know if I am Reaching here but I am hoping for a turn around.
The last game against the kings at least showed some promise.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Actually it would be the 4th seed, Christos...the first 3 seeds go to the division winners.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Shootout in the Nashville - Phoenix game in the 8th round.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

and the 'Yotes win it in Round 10....Aucoin scores. :ih

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

at sharks game. Sharks are just flat tonight.

shame to Howard has been serving up juicy rebounds all game.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Heatley's line looks good, Danny just missed. Have fun in the 3rd period Mike! :D

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

And that's 3 wins for the Wings against the Sharks this year :) Possible first round matchup. Wings fought back from 2-0 to win, 4-2.

And the year before that, and the one before that one too, oh and...

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Dude pass those drugs around. 10 points would also imply all other teams dont play or implode. I can pretty much guarentee your scenario you just implied will not happen. Unless of course all the teams ahead of you only play eastern conference teams so no one has games agains each other and all the teams ahead of you call up their AHL rosters. Come on bro get real for a minute.
Dont forget the reason you got back into the playoff pic the other day was not because you won a game but the team ahead of you in the standings lost a game. Settle down its going to be a long season still.

Good win for the Wings. The Sharks lost all jump after the middle of the first. Their D which is still missing the number one D pairing got exposed badly. Horrible breakout passes. For most of the game the D couldnt complete a pass. So many of the sharks chances and rushes up the ice had to be created by the wingers and centers. My comment about being flat was perfectly displayed on the 4th goal when Huskins had the puck stolen from him on a breakout in his own zone which resulted in a goal. As for the first round matchup, it would be a good test for the Sharks to try to excise the Redwing demons they have. I hope they can if it occurs.

One thing that really impressed me about the wings was their presence infront of the net. On one shift in the second all three forwards spent time camped in front of the net. It was impressive. I hope the Sharks can solve the Wings by their next meeting on the 11th. That said the Sharks are a deeper and more skilled team then the Wings and I got to believe this year by adding Heatley and the grit of Nichol they will be able to make a deep run. Hopefully but you never know.

Should anyone who is an Ottawa fan be running any smack about playoff success or choking? By the way thanks for Heatley hes fitting in nicely. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Berschmoozie has 26 games to get 10 more goals. Will he do it. Or will he...

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Clown Shoes is going to fail me. You know I really thought this year with the lack of depth he was going to play a much bigger role in scoring. I guess he just doesnt have it. Watch he will get to like 22-23 just to piss me off.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Maybe the Wings can trade him to the Flames and he can stay stuck at 15, MIke. ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I never said it was going to happen. Just playing Devil's advocate. As a fan of the game I always like to play the "what if" game. If the other teams start sliding and the Wings put a string of regulation wins together that could mean the difference in seeding. Considering the standings 10 points is not that much. And as of right now it's only 6 points to the 3rd seed.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

4th seed!! The three division winners are the top 3 seeds!!! :c:r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yea I overlooked that tidbit. No offense to the Blackhawks ;)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

So that would put us 9 points behind the 4th the seed after last nights loss to Aneheim. Not impossible to catch up, especially with the Mule coming back soon :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Wow, Kovalchuk now a Devil.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=516293

The drama is finally over.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

What a stinker trade for the Thrashers....from what I understand, several other teams made what I consider better offers.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Pierre LeBrun said the deal with the Devils was the best possible deal the Thrashers could get.

I repsectfully disagree.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hope the Bruins get their heads out of their asses soon!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Being in 9th place I would think just getting to 6th by the end of the season would be a solid goal and possibe. Your odds of catching the Yotes or Kings in my opinion are pretty slim. They have been playing better hockey all year. They are healthy and I would take either of their goaltenders. 5th if one of them implodes and the wings get red hot. 4th I would be willing to place a bet on that not happening.

Me as well. Looking at the deal all I can say is WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did he have naked pictures of you with a hooker or something?

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

:r :banger

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Just worry about the Wings possibly playing the Sharks ;) Although I realistically believe the Wings will be in the 6th seed.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The have them to far up there to get them out now.
9 in a row.
They piss me off.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Kovalchuk to the Devils, the East is over?
Time for the B's to blow it up and start over, and this means starting at the top with management. There are not move then 4 or five players worth keeping anyway.
What happens in the next few week will affect how the fan base reacts next season.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

We would gladly take Chara off your hands! :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well he probably could be had for draft picks,
Chiarelli likes to stockpile them but to freakin cheap or scared to use them :mad:

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well you guys have Toronto's first rounder... will be a top 5 pick for sure!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I would love to have Zdeno back on the Isle right now.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

The Bruins lose again that's 10 in a row from a team that some experts had picked to win the Cup :td

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Hawks break their winless streak at 3 with a 2-1 victory over the Blues. Antti Niemi was awesome, and the Blues only goal came with a minute left and a 6 on 3 (goalie pulled on a two man advantage). Game had hits, great saves by both goalies, fights, and goals by Patrick Sharp and Johnny Toews.

Great win for the Hawks. Thanks for posting those pictures Tom.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Niemi just continues to impress, Nate! :tu

Speaking of impressive goalies, Craig Anderson shut out the Oilers for the third time this season tonight! :wo

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I love watching Craig Anderson. Some of the saves he makes are incredible.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Played with him for a summer season a couple years ago, it's great to see him doing so well. :tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

That is awesome Tom:banger

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Cool story....his brother still plays on my team. First game Craig played with us, he walks into the locker room and I am sitting in my sweats with my shirt off. Craig smiles at me, and says "I'm Craig...you must be the Enforcer". Team never lets me live it down.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

That is great story for sure. That must be really great for his brother to see Craig do so well in the NHL.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yeah, we catch some Avs games on Center Ice and Jon is very excited. If the Hawks don't win the Cup, I will root for the Avs as Craig will bring the Cup back home. :wo

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

:banger

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

What do you do if you have lost 4 of 5(3 straight).....bring Edmonton to town.....

Anderson gets another shutout.....:tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Good stuff Tom, I wondered your connection with C.A.....

Seemed like there was more there than the time in Chicago.....

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Yeah, Craig wanted to play with his Brother a couple summers ago and played the summer season on our team. Of course, he couldn't play goalie, but he played defense and scored a few key goals. After signing the big pact with the Avs, he thought better of playing with us goons this past summer. :r

Gooooooooooooon!
