Rangers that don't play the 3rd are back. That was a painful game to watch.

Keith gets 5 games and yet, Doan, a repeat offender gets 3 for what is a worse elbow?



I don't get this.

Whatever.

Looked as bad as the Cooke elbow last year that got him 10 games and first round of the playoffs, granted Keith is not a "repeat offender" but I figured he'd at least get the rest of the regular season (7 games)

And fine...I'm not defending Keith's shot to Sedin's head. But, why is Doan only 3 games? That's my point.


And why didn't Daniella get a suspension for his shot to Keith's head earlier in the game?

Good B's Kings last night. I thought the B's had everything under control when it was 3-1 but LA must have some injuries because some no name, must be an AHL call up, scored late in the third to make it quite a game in the last few minutes.

I do sympathize with you, dom.

You could almost swap out the word Leafs for Kings in that vid.

Kings are do or die in the next few games....walking the tight-rope between the playoffs, or a "Hitler finds out Deano's 5 year plan was a lie" vid.

Leafs and Kings are so far apart from contending its not even close. Yes the Kings are life or death to make the playoffs but look at their roster and look at ours. Looks at the potential and look at ours. Its night and day. We have not one prospect that is first line material. We currently only have one player who would see the first line on another team. We're in for a world of hurt for another 3-5 years at least. And....the cherry, no cap space left to do anything. Thank you Brian Burke.

On a somewhat related note, co-worker's wife is cousin's with Mathew Lombardi. He went to his B-Day party on Saturday night. Some Leafs showed up (and Elisha Cuthbert ) Lets just say they're not too enamored with Randy Carlyle.

Colborne, Kadri, and Biggs seem to be pretty good. Reimer has the sophomore jinx, IMO...Look at Jimmy Howard in year 2 and now, pretty good.

So, don't be such a negative Nancy.

Tell me about it - can't remember the last game when I could actually not pay attention in the 3rd period knowing they would get a win.
