NHL 2011 General Discussion

Yay, Leafs won!:D Of course Kessel put that in jeopardy.

DiPietro-Johnson fight:lol: 1 punch, that's all it took.

Reimer with his first career NHL shutout!

Hehe..Optimus Reim...I like that nickname:P

So glad Reimer got the shutout tonight! (:

Felt bad for Kessel though, you can tell he's been wanting that goal for a looooong time.

Boston vs Dallas. 3 Fights ... 2 Goals and a pulled goalie all in under 2 minutes. Boston won 6-3

Tim Brent had a HUGE game tonight. Big on the PK, especially the 5-3. So many shot blocks in a row. Guy from my hometown boy getting it done8)

Gustavsson was sent down today, and will be there for 2 weeks. I hope it helps, he has the potential. If he plays really bad, and Reimer wins Saturday, and played just like he has for the 2 weeks...could 'The Monster' be on his was out? Doubt it, but who knows what Burke is doing.

Danial Paille suspended 4 games for his hit on the Stars' Raymond Sawada.

Malkin torn ACL and MCL... probably done for year! Ouch!ohjtbehaaave

Really unfortunate for Malkin to get a most likely season ending injury in his first game back. I hope he makes a full recovery. There were 5 shutouts today, which I believe ties the record from March 21, 2001 lol.

Well...that game didn't go as expected. I forgot Toronto sucks against Buffalo.

Also, the Devils are starting to pick it up it seems. I don't think they will make the playoffs, but they have been doing well lately. And obviously I am still happy the Sens keep losing. ^___^

YESSSS Leafs win against Islanders! And at the moment only two points behind the Sabres.

I am way too optimistic though, but it looks like the Leafs may fight for a playoff spot. (:

Leafs trade Beauchemin back to Anaheim in exchange for Joffery Lupul and a defensive prospect

I don't know what to think of this just yet.gameeer1

Gustavsson leaves AHL game with elevated heart beat.

This really sucks. I think he should take time off, because this keeps happening.

Why did I have to forget to watch the Montreal-Boston last night? :cry:

Tough loss for TorontoMkavanaugh77

Mike Fisher traded to Nashville, where his wife Carrie Underwood lives/works...interesting. I wonder if the GM told him the Preds were interested and Fisher told them that it was a desired location..or he told them first, and they tried to work something out.

And I still feel sorry for Kessel, three chances and he still didn't score.

Lupul also had a very nice chance to put Toronto up, fanned on it though, and was pretty upset when he got back to the bench. :V

CRAZY game on Long Island tonight. I only saw the tail end of it because I was watching the Sharks and Devils game. I still need to check out highlights later, but the Islanders won 9-3 and Howie Rose said a new Islander record for PIM was set haha. The Penguins were down to 6 skaters at the end of the game; I've never seen a bench so empty. XD

Yup, absolute insanity between the Islanders and Pens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puMana_bq1o Bylsma (yeah, the coach) has been suspended, pending a hearing. The attack on Talbot from behind deserves a HUGE penalty, but it'll likely get lost in all the rest of the stuff.

Well the Avs lost their 7th straight, looking all around bad right now. Young + rash of injuries is not a good formula for winning. They are not out of it, but it's going to take a very strong rest of February and March to make any sort of a run at a playoff spot. Goaltending has been terrible, but the defense isn't any better. I really hope they don't trade anyone young at the trade deadline, because I believe this team can be a real contender in a few years as they gain experience and add a few pieces (ie. definitely need to find a consistent goaltender). hockey73

Devils really taking it upon themselves to make the season as interesting as possible at this point it seems. If anything, maybe a strong finish will convince Parise to stay, regardless of a playoff spot or not (they are still mathematically in it, just very, very, very unlikely...)
