I guess we'll have to go back to plan B and trade 1st rounders for the next 6 years.
Well, the Leafs can have anyone else on the sucks roster, considering that they probably won't be able to afford them.

oh, the sucks.

Kings fans don't really hate the ducks, we just find them a laughable franchise.
Win or lose, Kings fans still get a good laugh out of the handful of sucks fans.

They are the red headed step child of hockey.

Anyone know the name of a decent goalie? Beer league, Novice? Next door neighbour kids who ties couch cushions to their legs playing street hockey? Anyone will be better than the we put between the pipes night after night.

His name was Tuukka...except, no one in Toronto liked him and so, they kicked him to the curb and banished him to Boston.

Ask the city of Boston if they'll be nice and return him to you guys.

No, actually, I don't know how you feel. My team won the Cup with a no-name goalie. And this year, seems to be doing just fine as both nameless goalies are among league leaders.




So, you tell me what this hurt is like.

Time to kick Shannnnnanananban to the curb

The NHL said on Friday that New York Rangers forward Rick Nash will not face supplementary discipline for his hit on Panthers winger Tomas Kopecky.

Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul, who was suspended two games this week for a hit on Victor Hedman, tweeted in response, "If someone can explain the decisions on what warrants a suspension and what doesn't, please let me and the rest of guys know."

Brendan Shanahan and the NHL's Department of Player Safety informed the Rangers and Panthers of the news on Friday afternoon.

Late in the third period of the Rangers' 3-1 loss to the Panthers, Nash came at Kopecky as he took a shot from between the circles. Nash left his feet and apparently elbowed Kopecky in the back of his head. The Panthers forward, who wasn't facing Nash, was down on the ice without his helmet for a few seconds before skating off.

Nash wasn't called for a penalty, while Kopecky was able to return to action and scored an empty-net goal later in the period.

Some of you thought he was gonna be the savior of the NHL and bring discipline and safety............................................ ...

He's been nothing but an inconsistent joke from day one.

It's time for him to go. Seriously.

Even the players think he is a clown.

Morrow to play on the right wing with Malkin and Neal, move Beau Bennett down to the third line with Cooke and Sutter, and the Pens are officially the deepest team in the league if they stay healthy

Great game last night against the flyers, way too many non-calls, but Pens make it 12 wins in a row
