I absolutely hate the Jets...

lol - I can understand that, but just like the original Jets leaving Winnipeg, if somebody would have stepped up in Atlanta to keep the Thrashers in Atlanta, there would likely still be a team there. I'm no fan of Bettman, but he is adverse to moving teams before exhausting all possibilities.

Ward is going to ride Rittich into the ground just like he did Markstrom. I don't think the Flames are close to contending for the Cup, but I also think a better coach could get much better results out of this team.

Watch out for Tim Stützle @dash . This kid is much better than our last German!

Schubert?!? Isn't he a famous composer?

/Of course, he was Austrian, not German

Fire up your trade rumors!

Lucic can be fired into the sun anytime now. What a useless tit.

wasnt he like the golden boy 2 weeks ago?

 

[Eco]

Canes with a beautiful looking goal to go up 1-0 on the Lightning.

 

[thedddd]

Tom Wilson doing what he does best.

The Penguins need a total reboot of the PP. Letang, Malkin and Crosby are stale.

 

[Eco]

Some big changes set for tonight.

Price to start and some lineup changes.

Not in my eyes - He potted a couple of lucky goals, but he's a liability on the ice most times.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Rittich in two games vs. Toronto: Dominik Hasek

Rittich in one period vs. Ottawa: Daren Puppa

Obligatory

Obligatory

I'll give Lucic credit - He made a nice hit along the boards in his own zone and then threw a pizza up the middle of the ice to a Sens player who dropped it off to Gubberson who wristed a shot home through traffic. That's gotta count as a tertiary assist, right?

I have a bad feeling Burke wants him to toughen up the Penguins. I just hope Hextall doesn’t bite.

No chance that happens lol. Lucic is just as tough to move as Loui Eriksson.

Who did he elbow in the head from behind now?
