Toronto guys I need a Sundin update. I made it to the Semifinals in Fantasy Hockey and I'm without Sundin and Crosby. Please tell me he's playing this week.

Should be playing tomorrow vs the Isles from what I've heard.
8 games for Pronger is a joke. But who is actually surprised. The NHL has zero credibility when it comes to suspensions these days.

where are the pens fans? 
actually, the win over the pens doesn't lift my spirits all that much because it's pretty sad that we lose to both florida teams with combined 2 goals, but can come out and stomp out the pens with 5.
although i have to admit, i am really impressed with each line having a young gun, dubinsky, dawes, and callahan are pulling their weight nicely. now what to do about defense...

he did some great things for us over here, and we need a little kick start. i'll be at the game, partly to see Arbour coaching one last time, and because they are playing the penguins and i want to see this so called Crosby.

now seriously..

i was an isles fan once upon a time, like i said, i wanted to see arbour bc i thought it was cool but mainly wanted to see sid.
i've been rooting for the rangers for the past 6 years or so because i realized i was wasting my time on the isles. i do keep track of both teams, whats the point?

i never claimed to be a 'die-hard' fan of anyone. honestly i like watching teams like the red wings games more than anything. it's a fact.. isles suck, lol. i just like hockey and watch pretty much any team, but in the end i'm rooting for the rangers. shrugs.

He shut them out the rest of the way. 
There was a debate up here about the worst goal ever allowed. That Toskola goal was #3 on TSN's list with the goal Broduer allowed against Anaheim in the final #1.
As bad as Tokala's was, The goal Tim Thomas of the Bruins let in I think last year was the worst ever. I'd link it but can't get into YouTube at work.

That goal on Toskala was horrible. I think the leafs are the only team in the league that can mess up losing. They wont finish higher then 10th, yet they are determined to try and lose out on the stamkos/doughty sweepstakes. :S Isn't It great to be a leaf fan.

Did anyone catch the footage of Patrick Roy's son Jonathan brawling in QMJHL?
The Remparts who are coached by Roy were getting blown out when a brawl erupted. During the brawl, Roy gives his son who plays goal for the Remparts instructions to go after the opposing goalie. Young Roy skates across the ice and lays a beating on the other goalie who didn't want any part of it. Before getting kicked out of the game, Johnathan gets into another fight with a defenceman from the other team Ray Emery style. Here's the link to the story. There is a video on the page too.

Looks like being an asshat runs in the family.
Regardless, P. Roy will be a coach in the NHL in the not too distant future.
