Good time last night seeing the pink things, it was nice to see a lot of the new additions and the up-tempo coaching style that Johnston is implementing.

According to Moogy, we should have stuck with the same old fail from the last 5 years and kept Bylsma and Shero

Moog will be proven to be correct. He always is.

There's a reason he's GM of the LA Kings.

Projected traveling roster for the B's trip to frogtreal...

Forwards: Anthony Camara, Jordan Caron, Loui Eriksson, Brian Ferlin, Matt Fraser, Simon Gagne, Chris Kelly, David Krejci, Daniel Paille, Tyler Randell, Carl Soderberg, Ryan Spooner, Ethan Werek

Defensemen: Johnny Boychuk, Chris Breen, Chris Casto, Kevan Miller, Joe Morrow, Dennis Seidenberg, David Warsofsky

Goaltenders: Malcolm Subban, Niklas Svedberg

I wonder why Lucic didn't go.

So now we've resorted to posting exhibition game rosters?

I'm starting to miss Cabby's game updates.

Have you forgotten Lucic's handshake line antics already?

I could go back to this if you prefer....

So, taking a small break from the Leaves ridiculing courtesy of black label, has the Bolts supplanted the Pens as the Top 2 contender out in the East?

I expect Boston to be the other one.


West is pretty much the same bar-room brawl between the Blues, Kings, Hawks, Ducks, and perhaps the Wild.

I thought the Leaves supplanted the Pens.

No love for the Rangers? Cabby will be disappoint.

They'll finish top 4 in the west and then fizzle and crash come playoff time. Why would this year be any different?

Cause the stripped Thornton of the C?

Something is inherently wrong with that team's psyche. You can laugh at Thornton all you want but in the playoffs, his numbers aren't THAT horrid.

I'm surprised Thornton did not want to leave after being stripped of the C. Then again, who wants to leave SJ? What a great area to live in.

Was that your inner-Moog talking?

Check out Jumbo Joe's numbers for the playoffs: Joe Thornton NHL Statistics | Hockey-Reference.com


Again, not horrid. Not saying he's amazing...but, his numbers aren't horrible.

Oh, well...be specific, dammit.


I dunno, I like what T-Bay did to the team. Hedman is a gem on the blueline. Had some nice additions overall and I think their forwards are pretty good.

For all of Thorton's playoff's #'s, where are the Cups?



He's a choker and has no heart. That's why he'll never have a cup and why Boston traded away his sorry ass.

Well, victim of his circumstances is also a factor. As they sometimes say, in the playoffs, the top 2 lines can each other out...and it's the 3rd and 4th lines overall depth that wins it.

Same goes for the blueline.



I'm not a big Jumbo Joe fan...but, I'm just saying that it's not all on him.



Anyhow, with what I just posted, I'm SURE Moog is going to back any second now and tell me to put down that bong.

He's got 2 of them. One with the duckies and one with the Bruins.

Oh wait, never mind, I thought you were talking about the good Thornton.
