First period was just awful.

so my friends are saying that the game was rigged.. lol Crosby scoring the winner in the shootout!
... classic story book ending! hahaha

the second period was the best... all Buffalo!!

the switching sides in the middle of the third kinda killed the flow. They should have let Buffalo get the side closer to their bench ... since they were the home team!

blue: ur poor hawks.. lol every time i check the scoresheet they get scored against it's 8-2 la ..third period.

Yeah, those switches in the third and in overtime were real momentum killers.

I can't believe I thought adding Clemensson to my fantasy team was a good idea.

hockeychicka · #**156** (**permalink**) 01-04-2008, 03:14 PM

he played well vs. tampa.

3 goals in 38 seconds. that hurts!

just finished watching the semi final game. canada vs. usa. canada won 4-1. i thought it would be much closer, i was really nervous going in. but the usa didnt show up. they had the by into the semi, canada had to play a quarter final game.

on to the gold medal game vs. sweden tmw!

Dear Blackhawks,

I know Toews just pretty much killed his Calder chances by getting injured for the next month. As for Martin Havlat, well, just forget about him. But you guys are talented even without those two. You barely stand a shot a making the playoffs now, but the city is still talking about you. But the thing is, the past few games have convinced me you're not quite ready yet. You really need to do what Toews said and HATE TO LOSE a little more. You're really not giving your all out there.

Sincerely,
Blue Phoenix

Dear Sabres,

See above.

Sincerely,
Blue Phoenix

*voted in by fans - starters.
Roberto Luongo was voted in as the starting goaltender, but has decided to opt out.

Not liking the goalie choice..Leclaire should be there. 1.97 goals-against average, league best 7 shutouts and .928 save percentage. And since Luongo opted out, it only makes sense to pick the person who was second is votes: Lecalire.

oh well. the all star game is not all that exciting .. but im kinda looking foward to the "slam dunk" style shootout contest!

EAST roster will be released tmw. the starters are, Crosby Aflie, Lecavalier, Chara, Markov and Brodeur.

Are we really missing Toews THAT badly?!

hockeychicka · #**161** (**permalink**) 01-12-2008, 08:04 PM

i heard the played pretty good yesterday.. harding was the only reason the wild won.. and whats his face the reason the hawks lost. let in some weak ones.

hockeychicka · #**163** (**permalink**) 01-14-2008, 04:33 PM

still waiting for some changes in toronto..

word is that the leafs are looking for a gm.. but they have to fire jfj first... hoping it would happen today.

hockeychicka · #**164** (**permalink**) 01-16-2008, 07:04 PM

oh my goodness! the leafs won! lol haha

sabres better not let campbell go for nothing during the offseason. if they do..poor buffalo fans..lose breier and drury one year..the next campbell.?! that would suck!

Blue_Phoenix · #**165** (**permalink**) 01-17-2008, 08:48 AM

That would just be a nightmare. It would be time to fire Darcy Regier.
