Toronto sitting on top of the atlantic and the bolts breathing down their necks. I love the division realignment btw. The atlantic division is exciting above all The start of the season is always a Leafs fan's favorite time. We always seem to look good for the first 20 games. Then we fall apart, but only to the extent that we leave ourselves juuuuuuuuuuust out of reach of a playoff spot. It's always still statistically possible, just highly unlikely. Then we play solid for the last 20 games, but it's never enough to make the playoffs. If only every season was 40 games long (like last season)!! Hopefully this year will be different with the players we have in place! We haven't had top of the league players like this in year.. Last time would be when Sundin was in his prime and that was a long ass time ago. We have a bunch of top tier players now and most importantly two solid goalies one of whom I am still hoping lives up to his full potential cause he has a butt load of it! Every year I allow my hopes to get up, at least a playoff berth last year warrants this years excitement!

Man that really sucks! He's an amazing player and seems like a classy guy. Hope he heals quickly (maybe in time for olympics?)

Shawn Thornton should be kicked out of the league! I don't know if any of you guys saw what he did but it was absolutely horse shit! Dude doesn't belong in the league if he is gonna pull stuff like that!
All he is is a fucking goon! All his videos on youtube are of fights.. get him out of the league he doesn't belong, he is not a hockey player.. *sigh* I am no Brooks Orpik fan and Orpik had just taken a run at a Boston player, but sucker punching him on the ground come on..
On another note the Leafs really need to find their defense.. Giving up as many shot as they have been lately is just brutal.. The other night Bernier had 46 saves.. But he had 5 goals scored on him. Leafs won in overtime, but still! Giving up over 50 shots on net is terrible.
Phaneuf needs to go and they need to bring in someone who is actually a consistently good defender.

My Caps just won one of the greatest hockey games I've ever seen against the Lightening 6-5 in a shootout after trailing 3-0 and pulling Holtby. They've really been kicking butt lately. Hopefully for once they can stop choking once they get into the playoffs.
