All Hockey talk all the time

Just saw the OT goal of the Caps-Bruins game...Semin wasn't even inside the blue-line when he scored. And the puck wasn't bouncing around either.

Strange display from Tim Thomas there.

Backstrom had a goal, giving him a 9 game point streak, and it was the 7th time in the last 12 games between these two teams that they needed extra time.

asq- are you saying Semin can shoot 80 feet?
:^^^^:

I'll post highlights when I find them, unless you want to check out the highlights they have on TSNs video player.

It's bizarre. It just beat him. At least with Toskala's gaffe against the Isles last year (granted it was farther away) the puck was bouncing around and thus genuinely unpredictable.

Semin basically passed the centre ice line and then somehow shot it through Thomas.

i was making a joke...

Well, at least we aren't the Detroit Red Wings.

Thumped 8-0 by the Predators.

Maybe they'll be interested in Gerber.

Pekka Rinne will be the best goalie in the NHL in a few years

Steve Mason disagrees.

Steve Mason can go f*ck himself.


Honestly though, half of Mason's success comes from the team he plays on(just ask Leclaire). When Mason was in the OHL, it was far too easy to get under his skin. Just chanting his name was enough to knock him off hos game.

Pekka has nerves of steel and the skills to go with it. In 5 years, I predict Rinnee will be ahead of Price, Mason, Elliott, Poggee, Rask, Enroth, Markstrom and the like.

^Lundqvist will still be around in 5 years.

You don't think Rinne benefits from a D with Weber, Suter, Hamhuis etc. etc. etc.?

It's no coincidence that Vokoun, Mason, Ellis and now Rinne all look like all-stars. Just like it's no coincidence that Lacosta and Leclaire got so many shut-outs, or why Roloson, Fernandez, Backstrom and Harding all look/looked awesome in a Minnesota uniform.

Defence is everything.

Its just the way Rinne looks when he plays. granted I've seen alot more of Mason than Pekka, but there's just something about Rinne that impresses me every time. Not that I wouldnt love to have Mason, but Rinne just has the "it" factor.

Stock had a good point just now about the Rangers and Av fight night. Redden was the only one on the ice who did not drop his gloves during the slug fest....wonder what Reddens idea of team building is....hmmmm wonder what Torts thinks.

Redden is what he is dude... just be glad he is in Ottawa, its too bad there are still a few premadonna's in Ottawa like him.

Prima Donna.

And Redden will be outta the NHL in a year, 2 years top. He's just a shell of the player he once was.

Haha, thats how you spell it eh... looks like Geurin is heading to Washington too.

Redden = has been, I don't think he'll get along with Torts. As well, CBC has confirmed that Guerin waived and they ruled out a large number of the eastern teams for Guerin. They suspect it maybe Washington who traded for him. Hopefully something gets announced shortly.

Seems like we're all watching the same game.

The last time the Wings lost 8-0 was in 1982.

Arnott with the hattrick, Weber with the Gordie Howe hattrick and +5.

Rafalski and Lidstrom somehow managed an even +/- rating. :^^^^:
