yeah...absolutely :) but we shouldn't have given up a 2-0 lead...not to mention the 3-1 lead which went on to to 3-4...! :whip: we were VERY lucky we got two points out of that one, considering we were only 9 seconds from getting none.... |

you guys should just make Danis as the featured goaltender. Theodore's been really shaky this season. Especially the game against the Rangers he let in those soft goals in the first.
As for my rangers, I'm still stunned they got 2 wins from the last 3 games when they played like absolute against the isles and the home and home series against the habs. We can't keep letting lundqvist save the day. |

MONTREAL (AP) - Jacques Demers, who coached the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup in 1993 and was later a general manager in the NHL, admits in a newly released biography that he is illiterate.
"I could read a little bit but I can't write very well," Demers said at a party for the book's launch. "I took to protecting myself. You put a wall around yourself. And when I was given the possibility of talking, I could speak well and I think that really saved me."
In the book Jacques Demers: En Toutes Lettres, which roughly translates to All Spelled Out, Demers said his inability to read and write was the result of an abusive and impoverished childhood.
"All I wanted from my father was to treat me with love," Demers said. "Not to beat me up when I did something wrong. Not to beat up my mom. It really hurt me because he took away my childhood.
"The other thing I wanted to say was that if I could not write or read, it was because I had so much of a problem with anxiety because of the things going on in the family. I couldn't go to sleep at night. I'd go to school and I couldn't learn anything."
The book, which was released Wednesday, was written by Canadian journalist Mario Leclerc.
Demers coached the Quebec Nordiques, St. Louis Blues, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal and the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he was also general manager in the late 1990s.
He was able to hide his illiteracy from all but a few people by asking secretaries and media relations people to write letters for him, claiming his English wasn't good enough.
Even his wife Debbie didn't know until he told her after he put off writing checks to cover household bills for several days.
When he was a general manager, he brought in Cliff Fletcher and Jay Feaster as assistants to handle contracts he couldn't read.
"I never really was a GM," he said. "I hired Cliff Fletcher and Jay Feaster because I knew I couldn't do that."
Since leaving the NHL coaching ranks, Demers has worked as a hockey analyst at the French-language RDS network for the last four years.
For now, he is happy that he has gone public with his illiteracy.
"I have no problem saying what I wanted to say. That's what I needed," he said. "I've been carrying this all my life. I succeeded, and I'm telling people 'you're capable of doing something in your life even if you have some big handicaps."

yeah, that was just the case with us and theodore a few years ago...we played like and he always came out to save our day...now the team is playing really solid but theodore I beleive couldn't barely be considered among the avarage goaltenders in the league right now... |

Crosby and Lemieux will make a great combination...
but this year, they'll fall just short of the playoffs by 2 points.
Red Wings lookin for another Cup. They have the best record in the NHL, but they'll lose in the Semis to Chicago.
Yep... that's right... call me f'n crazy... but the Blackhawks will beat them.
Ottawa... another hot team... but still can't beat Toronto.
The Rangers will finally go to the Playoffs after an eight-year drought.
As for the the defending Conference champions...
Tampa will lose to New Jersey in the Semis,
and Calgary will lose to Vancouver in the opening round.
those are my predictions.
:D Good day |

the only reason to why detroit has most points in the league is because they are facing a lot easier teams than for example ottawa, canadiens, and philly...Canadiens has made one of the best starts in the franchise history...yet they have beaten the Rangers and bruins twice, flyers once and the leafs once...still people aren't taking us seriously...but that's okay...the more they underestimate us, the better for us... |
