Ya...what sucks is that they had 57 shot on goal and lost. They pulled that against the panthers with 50 shots and lost. WTF? Gotta get it in the goal now...PP still is struggling. Drawing almost 7 penalties per game and only getting one shot in isnt too impressive...they screwed a few 3 on 5s too. I cant wait for it to really click again. We have a few injuries like Nabokov,Mitchel,Chechoo...once they get on the ice it will get near the potential it will take to play into spring.

Really happy for Korpikoski :)

Sorry Dubam, but i think Jarkko Ruutu is the league's biggest . A dirty player that is scared to fight. If he keeps playing the way he is someone is going to end up killing him. He kept running back to the Ottawa bench, because Guy Carboneau would put Laraque on no matter who was on the ice. He is afraid to be "tough" with anyone other than smaller guys.
I know exactly what he's like, and I understand your critique completely. But.. I've always had a problem when someone says he's scared to fight, no matter with who. I've seen him take one for the team soo many times that I can't imagine he's 'scared' of anybody.
Except maybe for Georges, lol.
I do admit that he's done some of the most uncalled for crazy things I've ever seen, 9/10 it's the elbow. I've hoped for ten years that he'd get banned from the NHL and came back to us :p
He's just one of those guys that you can't like if you play against him.
If I feel unsatisfied with him I just re-watch the Tucker fight and fall in love again.
But I'm biased, I love him to death, always have, always will.
He said it himself in an interview after that incident that he doesn't want to be grey, he wants to be black or white. He likes to be hated just as much as he wants to be loved.

So I was at the Rangers-Capitals game on Saturday.
Verizon Center had a good vibe to it. Although the atmosphere seems a lil forced, the Caps fans were really into it. You can easily notice that last year's 7 game thriller against the Flyers has energized the long timers and brought more curious fans to the gate. Even though it's a near impossible task to overthrow the Redskins as the dominant team in DC, there is definitely a lot of potential for the Beltway to be a very good even great hockey city similar to Philly.
edit: as for the game, the 1st two periods had to be the worst I've ever seen the Rangers play in person. If it wasn't for Ludnqvist, the score line could have been easily 5-1

He got suspended for 2 games, and Laraque even said when they play again in january, he is going to beat him up even if it costs him a suspension and he does not fight back. Watch him run from Laraque here, to drop the gloves with the guy who is 5'9. I understand him doing that, but i can guarantee that because of the gestures he made to fans, he will end up being injured next time we meet.
look closely at number 17..and watch ruutu run.
this is gonna get him killed.
he got pwned by our smallest player:p

I'll admit that you don't ing injure an opponent and carry on with gestures like that, that's just sad. Damn.

i have never been so embarassed to be a montreal canadiens fan as i was tonight. What a ing display of no heart. These stupid french idiots are stuffing the ballot boxes for the all star game when maybe 1 guy actually deserves to be there.
pathetic.

Pens had a fun shootout!
Sharks and flames now. Hopefully it will be a solid game. So far lots of pressure.
L.E.N.
Sharks are on fire!
3 for 3 on the PP
4-0 end of 1st.
Finally seeing the PP pay off...and its scary. We will see if its like that in the 3rd.
L.E.N.
Sharks looked like they should. If this is what it will be like in march then it looks good. Ive been waiting for a game with the results. This system is dangerous when its on.
