Ryan Kesler photo shoot... uhm... NSFW??? I might also add that this will likely be more popular for the ladies.

Why would you post this?

It's hockey related, it was posted on my FB feed by some media outlet, and I thought *some* people would want to see it. You didn't have to click on it... i did say "NSFW" and "more popular for the ladies". SG11 already proved that wrong.

Was it you that was also discussing the cute Swedes on our team?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Nope.

Don't like the Habs or the Leafs... but dislike Leafs worse...Ron Wilson & Brian Burke (gee if they smiled they would break their face) can't take them to.... so go Habs.

Tuning in to see Boston raise their SC banner... Should be interesting game between them and Philly. I think a better game than the Habs & Leafs.

So, will Reimer get REAMED tonight? Will the smurfs put their tiny boots to the laughs? Let's get this NHL season started!!!! Beers on ice!!!!

This will likely be the only Habs/Laffs game I watch all year.

To do list:

1) Get rid of Jungle
2) Get rid of Jungle
3) Get rid of Jungle
4) Turn TGOR into an actual sports talk show instead of 1 hour with Pierre Mcguire as the only selling point
5) Get rid of Lee Versage

( :KKK: )

The brackets would be my reaction if it happened.
The broom is reality sweeping out the celebration.
The last one is the realization that it's never going to happen.

It's funny how far the CBC announcers will go to avoid talking about how badly the Leafs are getting outplayed.

Reimer's doing well, though.

Small Time Versage?!?!?!

He gets enough punishment with all the guys that pass him by to move on to bigger and better things.

Scott MacArthur leaves and Jakubec gets the job, then they resurrect Dave freaking Gross to cover for him!

Reimer shuts out the habs.

Habs suck.

Giroux's goal tonight looked so much like the goal he scored against Pittsburgh in the season opener in 2010-2011. Eery.

Apparently Jagr got point 1600 on the play.

They looked pretty terrible. Disconnected, sloppy game from the Habs. I only saw the last two periods, but the Leafs looked good. Perhaps they've turned a corner? We'll see.

Both teams looked sloppy... that was some brutal hockey. Wow.

I was watching the game at the hockey team parents meeting. It was at one of the players' houses. The kid's dad wore a #93 Leafs jersey; the kid wore a #4 Habs jersey (annoying kid, but, hey, gotta respect that jersey choice). Anyhow, I *told* him the Leafs would probably win. He didn't believe me.

As for Reimer, he was extremely lucky. He looked awesome because he didn't know where a single rebound was headed. The Habs were brutal at putting it away. They were -1 for 5 on the PP. Their bread and butter.

Bang on. Jacques is on the hot seat. Last year if not for Price I think he would have gotten the boot. Between him and Wilson, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them was the most despised -- by his own team -- in the league.

Interesting how they do with Muller gone, he was the 'good cop' and JM is the 'bad cop'.

Habs can't afford to look like that, they have to sharpen up - quick.

Maybe it's only because I missed the first period, maybe because I've been starved for hockey, but I thought the Leafs played well. They were in Montreal's zone for 2/3 of the last 2 periods, Steckel owned the faceoff dot, they made a few Habs (Kostitsyn and Gomez in particular) look ridiculous on more than a few occasions, and they finished with the shutout. I liked what I saw of their game.
