Yeah, that is pretty crazy. I watched the hilights and he made some unbelievable saves, stealing the game for the 'Nucks in the process.

That would at least be a round further than what you're gonna get in the next 5 seasons.

We had a shaky defence and goaltending for two games, now. We still have a sure-fire goalie prospect in the making (according to just about every goalie expert in the world), which is more than Pogge can claim. Price has been better than Huet in the last couple of games, even if you take in the 3 quick goals against the Rangers. We're going to get back to winning pretty quick.

PS : Malkin is better than any player my team had in the last 20 years. He beat us, and deserved it.

Lots of empty seats, people leaving early, lots of booing, cheering for the other team, WE WANT STAMKOS chants etc...



But LOL @ this old drunk guy arguing with this younger guy who was trying to walk away in the bathroom about how all 4 bottom teams have the same chance at the first pick

Creepy shit

Nice. Toronto fans are the best. They really are. I know very few who are actually level-headed about the blue and white.

And empty seats are a good thing, are they not?

Also, I can't believe Southern Ontario will be forced to watch the Leafs and Thrashers on CBC, over the Pens and Sens. Ugh.

Why don't Hab fans ever tout Latendstiff anymore? Last season we all heard about how great a forward he was going to be. After a stellar 29 point season he's ripping it up this year with 20 points to his credit.

A quick look at his last 20 games and you see this:

2G, 2A, -6

When the fuck is this guy supposed to develop into the star that some Hab fans were ball washing him for? It's very convenient how Hab fans just forget about him after touting his as a superstar to be.

Don't you feel even a little hypocritical saying this, as on yet another night of your Leaves getting pummeled you don't mention a single thing about the embarrassment you call a hockey team?

I stand corrected. Sweet deal.

I really hope the Pens get home ice in the playoffs this season. I'm still worried that those darned Devils will somehow end up with the Atlantic title, like they usually do, leaving the Pens to fight for 4th, likely against Montreal.

I love the Habs crowd chanting 'Malkin, Malkin' in a heckle when he takes the penalty and then he comes out of the box and precedes to stick it right down their throats on a break away. Ole, Ole Ole, OHHHHLE.

Imagine what this team is going to be like when Crosby, Roberts and Fleury all come back fro m injury in the next 2 weeks.

At the very least, he is better than Sabourin.

And, yah know, he is our franchise goalie and all that.

None of the successes the Pens have had this year have been because of Fleury, though. Sabourin also has slightly better stats, so its not like you guys should be dying to get Fleury back.

I don't think anybody is dying to get him back - everybody is obviously thrilled with the job Conklin is doing.

At the same time, you want your #1 goalie to be healthy. Even if he has to work to get his #1 tag back. If I recall correctly, Fleury was on something of a tear when he got injured, too.

By passionate do you mean bi-polar?

"HUET IS THE NEW ROY!" (2 seasons ago)
"HUET IS WASHED UP AND SUCKS!" (this season)

"LATENDREEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE! Future franchise sniper!" (last season)
"Latenwho?...Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. We're winning, it's cool." (this season)

"Hang Kovalev! Russian bum with no heart or grit! He's not even French!" (post-Bruins fiasco)
"Kovalev is the new Messier! What a leader!" (this week)

"Price is the new Roy!" (this season)
"Price needs to be reassigned! He's not ready!" (this season)
"PRICE IS THE NEW ROY!" (this season)

Sorry. :p

In terms of the Fleury and Conklin situation, I actually really want to see MAF back to see how he responds. Sabu has been hot and cold for his entire career with the Pens. Not that MAF has been the most consistent goalie ever, but he's proven himself far more than Sabu. Plus, the management still sees MAF as the future franchise goalie, and I'm right there with them if MAF can just learn to control his rebounds and not be so erratic. I think his confidence is also easily shaken when things start going wrong, so that's something to consider too.

Fleury's stats so far, since being reassigned to Wilkes-Barre...

4 GP (3-1-0 record)
.951 save percentage
1.51 GAA

Sounds like he's doing alright.

How can a Habs fan tell a Pens fan that their fans aren't passionate?:lol

Screaming a chant does not make you passionate...it makes you idiotic.

Reality check: Fleury sucks. He's slightly above average, but doesn't have a complete understanding of how to goaltend. He has been a dissapointment in the NHL so far considering the hype and I don't see him getting better.

I hope Malkin's success during this Crosby injury doesn't have too much of a negative impact on the psychology of either of the two. I hope that they get along in earnest and don't harbor a bunch of loldrama jealousy oor something. Healthy competition can be good, but too many comparisons, media hype (oh thank God we're not in Toronto), and fan finger-pointing can make a great thing go sour, and I don't want that.

A 23 year old with a 40 win season under his belt doesn't exactly suck. Fleury was probably a just as big of a reason as Sid was last year for the teams success, but you probably didn't watch the games to know that. He does need to improve on some facets of his game like rebound control, but he simply doesn't suck. Really he probably should have been making his first season last year like Luongo and Ricky D. did, but because of the financial situation in Pittsburgh at the time, he got thrust in the fire.

It never ends. Taken from today's Toronto Sun:

"We have a much better team than the standings are showing," said defenceman Pavel Kubina, trying lamely to put a positive spin on the season from hell. "We are professionals and we want to win every night and we still have a shot at it."
Click to expand...


"Is this the best team since I've been here? It's a fair question?" he said. "Position-wise in the standings we've been better in other years but to be honest I expected more this year. I think everyone in this room did.

"All three years I thought we had teams good enough to make the playoffs. I still have faith," Steen said. What they do not have is much of a chance.

wow. stars season ticket holders must be happy...

In conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the franchise's only title, fans buying full-season tickets for 2008-09 will be afforded 1999 prices. Wow. Tickets which this year cost $53 per game will next year cost $33; the $33 ticket down to $21. Other bargains will permit existing season-ticket holders to move down 10 rows for the same price.

Yep, being passionate is criticizing and booing your team and its players when they're not playing up to their full potential, which does seem to happen a lot with the Habs. Call the fans bi-polar if you want, but I bet you will never experience an atmosphere such as the one at the Bell Center.

And nice reach with the "quotes" (which Habs fan said Kovy is the new Messier?).

Idiotic is being optimistic and faithful to a team that has not accomplished anything in your lifetime, and still continuing to support them as your youth slowly and bitterly withers away (see: Manics).

The Ole chant seems to be picking up steam too, I think I've heard 3 separate arenas playing it on their speakers.

Sources tell TSN that Toronto Maple Leafs interim general manager Cliff Fletcher and captain Mats Sundin met on Thursday to discuss his future with the team. It's believed Fletcher asked Sundin for a list of teams he would consider playing for, although the Leafs GM stopped short of officially asking him to waive his no-trade clause.
