You seem rather upset that you've witnessed the Canucks peak last June and realize it's all downhill from here on in whereas the Leafs are a team on the rise. It's exciting to watch a team on the rise as opposed to a Canucks-like decline.

It's more fun
aka stressful
to watch a complete clusterfuck that no one ever really knows if they'll be absolutely amazing or complete and utter shit.

Flyers fan for life!

Price is worth whatever he asks, he's a franchise goalie who will be damn good for a long time, and is a huge part of the habs foundation moving forward.

You added this years stats to their career totals which skews both of their career October Stats. Which basically makes your point useless. If you look at Kessels stats without this year it basically shows him to be pretty consistent month to month.

Ok, so you already forgot that Kessel's HART IN OCTOBER feature happened last year?


Wow @ Rinne's contract. No goalie in the world is worth 7 millions. Except for Price, who will acquire a new nickname based on his last name next year.

Hey, so NHL-GAF, I have to confess: over the years I haven't really been a bona-fide hockey fan so much as an LA Kings fan. But I'm trying to change that this year and really get into the sport as a whole.

Which Canadian teams have the biggest rivalries? I've noticed that Habs-GAF and Leafs-GAF seem to have harsh words for each other. Which other teams are bitter rivals? Help a newbie out here.

Indeed, ridiculing Leafs fans and their deluded expectations is something new I've just started as a coping mechanism.

Oilers/Flames used to be fun here, but both teams have been pretty brutal the last few years.

Bruins / habs was rekindled last year, kings / ducks i guess and the most bitter rivalry is between yankeehater / devils

Keep in mind that team rivalries and fanbase rivalries are often mutually exclusive.

Canadian teams haven't been competitive enough in recent years to really foster rivalries. Leafs/Sens used to be good. Same with Canucks/Flames. Now it's mostly just the fans that carry these rivalries. Teams have more significant memory loss than Manics.

If the Leafs and Oilers really become successful in the future, rivalries should begin to heat up again.

So as a Vancouver fan, which team do you hate most right now?
Click to expand...
Used to be the Hawks since they eliminated us twice. But beating them last year was pretty cathartic.

No team really comes to mind. Too early in the season. Would be the Flames by default, but newborn puppies are more threatening right now.

Edmonton fans: is Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for real?
Click to expand...

For this season? Yes and no.

No only in the sense that his current PPG game pace is probably unsustainable (this season, anyway.) Yes in that he's still bound to have a really good year by rookie standards; 50-60 pts might not be out of the question. The string of early home games for Edmonton has gone well, but he'll probably struggle a bit in the less fortunate road matchups as he did in the recent Colorado game.

You should be worried about that Rinne contract. I'm pretty sure Price's agent will note how similar their stats are in contract negotiations. Can you afford a $7M goalie?
Click to expand...

Yes. We've underpaid him dramatically for 2 years now, so I have no problem with him making that paper this offseason.

I wonder how many would truly say Boston. As easy to hate as they were, it came and went pretty quickly. There's no history there otherwise and just one rematch to even think about for the next year.

Commodore gets to see his first action tonight, taking the place of Kindl. Babcock also went back to game 1 lines...

Hudler-Datsyuk-Cleary
Franzen-Zetterberg-Bertuzzi
Filppula-Helm-Abdelkader
Miller-Emmerton-Holmstrom

Lidstrom-White
Kronwall-Stuart
Ericsson-Commodore

Let's see if anything different happens tonight.

You guys are laughing now, but you won't be when your franchise goalie's contract is up and their agent is demanding something similar to Bryz or Rinne's price.

It's amazing to me how much other fans are bothered by the Leafs winning. LOL

Yes, I am referring to Socreges.

To be fair I have a boner most of the time not just when the Leafs are winning.

Don't worry, by that time superstar goaltender Timo Pielmeier will be stepping up from the AHL - ready to add to Anaheims reputation as turning backup goaltenders into legitimate starters.

I think Canucks fans dislike the Leafs more than the Bruins.

We don't dislike the Leafs. We dislike their fans.
