On a side note, great to see Ted Nolan behind an NHL bench again

Yes it is BW.

So, you want Chris Neil out of the game?

Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren need 180 points in their next 276 games to match Chris Neil's career stat line. Chris Neil isn't Guy Lafleur, but he's hardly comparable.

Stupid penalty to take there.

This. ^^^

I would like Matt Kassian out of the NHL though. The sooner the better in fact.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

That should do it. Congrats to the Leafs and their fans for the win.

Congrats on becoming a fan of the NHL. It`s a great game so get out there and watch a game or two. I`m sure you`ll enjoy it.

Since you`re new to the game I`ll break it down for you.

Chris Neil scored 4 more goals in his best NHL season than Colton Orr has scored in his 439 game career. He has 5 seasons that equal or surpass Orr`s career assist total.


Your trolling =

Nice comeback, your guys didn't quit and made a game of it.


Mason Raymond with a huge goal; definitely his last before Xmas.

Leafs hold on for the win. Bent but didn`t break.

I thought that Phaneuf penalty was going to bite the Buds but they got away with it.

Nice effort by the Sabres; they just don`t have the horses right now.

 

[blindbaby]

did I hear properly that the sabres have been outscored in first periods by 29-3?
that can't be right.... can it?


oh, shame the other thread wasn't used. the headline was freakin brilliant

*sniff*

I try.

A hit would be fine. Unfortunately, you oafed out and collided with his knees. I know it wasn't on purpose, but when that happens expect to get jumped.

I noticed last night that Scott skated away a few times even though a couple of Leafs were hell bent on getting him to fight. At first I thought it was me seeing things but apparently not.
From Nolans presser...

Among the reasons there was none of the mayhem you might have expected this weekend was because of Nolan’s orders. He revealed after the game he instructed Scott to not engage in a staged confrontation, ostensibly with Orr or McLaren.

“To go out and have two guys talk at a face-off circle and fight, I don’t know why they do it to begin with,” Nolan said. “They don’t seem to be mad at each other. I don’t know if it’s entertainment value. I don’t know.

“I told John I don’t want to see that. I don’t want to see it from any one of our players. Talk at center ice and say, ‘You wanna fight?’ I think there’s room for fighting in this game but not that way.”

Scott had already spoken to reporters when Nolan made his surprising admission.

Now that's the way it should be !! None of this "staged" bullshit.

Edit: Scott and Sabres coach Ted Nolan agreed the misconduct call was made by reputation only.

“This is a physical game enough without going out and looking for fights,” said Nolan. “I think it’s maybe they want to temper the game and get those guys out.”
