Niemi is not the answer.

Stars picking up momentum after a slow, shitty, shootout losing start to the season

And just came off a win against the "awesome" blackhawks.

Not bad considering the Hawks outscored them, what? 20-8 last season...?

One game. We'll take the others.

Huet is garbage too. If the Hawks are serious about going deep in the playoffs they need to upgrade their goaltending.

Deliberate and Bettman being in cahoots with Lemieux and doing him a favor by letting them get away with it.




And duh, of course everyone's jealous. What team gets that many lotto choices esp. during times when franchise-changing players are available?

I say deliberate.

Yeah, hit happened right in front of me, I knew right away it was an elbow or wrist, sucks but hey at least it's early in the season and it's only 4-6 weeks instead of 4-6 months like last year

String of bad luck for the guy...I don't think he was ever injury-prone. Although, I wouldn't say THAT much bad luck...he does have a Stanley Cup ring now. So...

TORONTO , ONTARIO (CP) -
A seven-year-old Toronto , Ontario boy was at the center of a
Toronto city courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over
who should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents &
the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody
law & regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree
possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt
beat him more than his parents & he adamantly refused to live with her. When
the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy alleged
they had also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family &
learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the
judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have
custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references & confer with
child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Toronto
Maple Leafs, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Mebbe Burke has a sekrit trade coming with another lottery team like the Avs which will net a first overall pick when Denver wins the lottery...



Oh wait...the Avs are doing well.

Good thing I have him in my pool. Though, I can't believe he's a $6.5M cap hit.
