So excited about this season. Not gonna make predictions this time because I jinxed my team and they sucked lol. Went to the lightning home opener. It was cool because my 15 year old son plays in a 16U A division traveling team and they played at the forum right before the lightning played. Was awesome to here his name announced when he scored. Then the lightning routed the panthers. was a great night. Looking forward to lightning hockey this year. Gotta figure out how to stop crosby though. so lets go hockey fans-time to talk hockey

I've once more allowed my hopes to get up for the leafs this season. We have some pretty strong players, I think Carlisle is a solid coach, Between Bernier and Reimer I think our Goalie situation is finally figured out (Knock on wood) We have at least 2 strong defensive lines and seem to be playing well so far this season! However the Leafs do like to start strong then fuck their fans over half way through the year so we shall see!
As far as stopping Crosby. You injure him, if he is healthy you don't stop him! Nobody wants to see him injured though even if he is owning your team as he is a class act and the best player in the league and it sucks when the face of the league is always injured.
Looking at the Leafs roster this year I am actually excited about the players we have in place!
Line 1 - JVR Bozak Kessel Line 2 - Lupul Kadri Kulemin Line 3 - Raymond Bolland Levio Line 4 - Ashton McClemment Orr
DEF 1 - Phaneuf Gunnerson DEF 2 - Franson Rielly DEF 3 - Ranger Gardener
This will be bolstered once David Clarkson gets back in the lineup too! Likely Levio or Bodie whoever is playing will be off the depth chart and Clackson will be in on either the third or second line.
Bernier so far has claimed the starting roll and is looking pretty good! I am excited about him as he had a lot of hype behind Quick as one of the best backups in the league. As well as he played on the Canadian Juniors.. however I think he was a back up there!

Caught my first game of the season last night, Jets at Avs. What a great time...I guess there is no such thing as a bad time at "the good 'ol hockey game"...
On a side note - Avs are red hot to start the season. Pretty exciting for us around here.

Just went to the Blackhawks @ Wild last night! It was a great game! That Arena is spectacular (aside from people pissing on the floor of the bathroom.. How the fuck do you miss a urinal? Seriously!) That was one of the best games I have ever watched! There was no cheap shots, no fighting, just strait up great offensive hockey! Even the Hacking Slashing and hooking was kept to a minimum! It was as close to olympic hockey as I have seen in the NHL. Aside from the Blackhawks kicking ass it was awesome!

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)!!

They start off well and then sink-and when i say sink....well you have seen it. But this year looks different. They are doing the little things that matter. Still have goal tending consistency issues but its getting better. Hope ben is the real deal we gave a great player to get him
