Leafs lost again. But that Kilger goal was unbelievable.

Vancuver just spanked the Ducks.

Ducks really suck without Scott and Teemu. Who ever thought a Norris trophy winner and a one-time 76 goal scorer could make that much of a difference.

Scott Niedermeyer will be back most likely in January. With the acquisition of Schneider, and the return of Niedermeyer there will be no stopping Anaheim once playoffs start. Thats why my pick again is Anaheim. New York Rangers will make noise in the playoffs, but I dont see any team beating Ottawa in the east.

I heard rumours how Brian Burke, present President & GM of Anaheim, might come to Toronto to become our new GM

I've heard Bowman as well, its likely just a rumor as Burke was quoted as saying he had something like another 2 years on his contract, didn't have an out and didn't want an out either.

I just saw Burke on t.v, he was like "no one told me anything about the leafs and myself... How come no one decided to call me? Next time you want to use my name, atleast give me a call... blah blah me and my wife like it down here and plan on staying here in anaheim" well, something along those lines

Ducks still need to find someone who can score on the powerplay the way Teemu did last year.

Ottawa's problem still lies in the goalies. Both their goalies are susceptable to playoff pressure. There are good goalies in the regular season, then there are goalies like Roy and Broduer.

Giguere's been there as well Finals one year, and then won the cup last year. Look at how amazing bryzgalov is playing now ... I think the war between Burke and Edmonton is finally over, since the Great One got gold inreturn for NOTHING! I honestly believe that Burke had called Wayne to tell him that bryzgalov was about to be put on waivers, because it was said Phoenix IMMEDIATELY nabbed him

We knew Bryz can play. We also knew Giguere can play. Giguere carried the Ducks in the 2003 playoffs and won Conn Smythe. Bryz carried the Ducks in 2006 playoffs when Giguere went cold.

What you said does have merit. Bryz commands very high trade value and Ducks pretty much let him go for free. Phoenix is kicking some serious ass now.

Bryz was in goal for Phoenix a few nights ago visiting Anaheim. There was a pre-game tribute for Bryz on the video display. Most of the fans gave him a standing O.

How smooth is this guys?

There is a girl I really like, I visit her at her work and walk her home some nights. Last night we went back to my place to watch the rest of the hockey game.

I said in the third period as the leafs were down 3-2, if we kiss than it will send good vibrations all the way to Toronto, and the leafs will play better..

30 seconds to go, Sundin ties it!!

I then say the same thing for Overtime, and the shootout. Toronto ended up loosing, but they did get a point.. And I did make out with the girl!!

I think my single days may have come to and end!!

I bleed the blue and white forever!!

Phoenix has won a few in a row and he's undefeated. I thought Anaheim's goalie tandom was like that of San Jose's with Vokoun and Toskala; Toskala carried San Jose as well, but they lost eventually. But now we have the bad luck of finding out Toskala is nothing like Bryzgalov, and not even close .

Ottawa is in a similar situation right now, they have two outstanding goalies. But the problem is this, its their playoff run this year as well, do they trade a goalie or do they keep both incase one of them turns soft? I'm going with the latter, it doesn't hurt them to keep both goalies and they don't really need anything in return, they have amazing fowards and really good defence. Bringing in a new face might even hurt their longtime chemistry.
