No.
Khabibulin plays in Edmonton. Huet is the starter in ChiTown.
The current scheduling favors teams from the Northeastern part of America because they're close to each other than other teams are. Teams like like the Rangers, Islanders, and Devils don't have to do that much traveling when they play teams in their division. Sooner or the later, Directv is gonna have to cave and put Versus back because a lot of Americans and probably Canadians that live in America are going to keep on ing and complaining to Directv so they will have to cave and put it back on. Personally, hockey needs to be taken off Versus and put back on ESPN and ESPN2.

I'd argue that Washington is better, but Boudreau doesnt put the hammer down often enough on defense.
Washington's style wins regular season games and sells a lot of tickets, but come playoffs, theyre always in for a 7 game series because they think theyre just going to outscore everyone.
Sometimes that works, most times it doesnt. The last team I can remember who had an "all out" mentality and won with it is Tampa Bay 2004, but they had The 'Bulin Wall playing out of his ing mind all playoffs with a defense that was FAR superior to what Washington has now (Boyle, Lukowich, Kubina, Sydor, etc).
NHL on ESPN was good
I stand corrected
That's why I think Pittsburgh is better; Washington's D is bad, as their top Dman, Mike Green, is offense oriented.
Plus, Fleury is so much better than Theodore; Washington should have kept Valiquette.
The season starts TONIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maple Leafs are hosting the Montreal Canadiens
Expect at least 25000 penalty minutes.
Starts tonight?!
Really?!
yes, FINALLY!
Hope its on CBC and not RDS/Rogers/wtfever, oh please oh please...
It will be on both CBC and RDS
I'll watch the game on CBC![]()
Flyers play the Hurricanes tomorrow night.
Should be a good game
Can't wait to watch the Flyers with their new additions (Pronger, Emery)
Blair Betts signs a one-year deal, whoever he is.![]()
Betts FTW !!!!!
Canucks are compe ive every year: they are one forward away from winning the cup
LMAO Flames with their vintage unis
Hehe, Habs win in Toronto
- Mike Komisarek is an overrated piece of ; he is responsible for 2 Canadiens PP goals; oh, and all he does is going after smaller guys; when Laraque was on the ice, he was such a baby doll.
Good riddance, I'm glad Bob Gainey let him walk away.
- So much for Brian Burke building a "big, intimidating, testosterone-filled team"
- Hall Gill is a piece of ; he had more turnovers in 1 game than Brisebois or Souray have had in their respective careers.
- Markov left the game yesterday; he will be out 2-3 monthsFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, poop, piss, penis, , , ass, Sequ, crap, fivehole
Oh no, Markov...
Komisarek...what the happened to him? He was good at one time, now he just takes dumb penalties and over-commits on defense.
Komisarek?
He was "good" in 2007-2008 because Markov and Hamrlik made him look good.
He sucks; period.
BTW, that was a good game (TO vs Habitants). Watched every second and enjoyed all of them.
You might be on to something with Montreal...Gomez and Gionta looked real good together, rounding out the top forwards with Plekanec and Kostistyn is a nice second line as well.
Problem is the Habs are a 3 line team. A team that could only roll 3 lines against Toronto, no less.
TO on the other hand looks like a typical Burke first-incarnation team. Heavy defense and defensive forwards. They dont have the goaltending to make it work, IMO, especially in the Eastern conference, but I think theyll make the playoffs. I tell ya though, that Stralsberg (or wtf ever) looks like a gamer.
It was funny seeing Luongo get lit up in the late game though.
That Duschene kid in Colorado is a baller, too. Real fast, plays at the front of the net, good hands, great vision. Gonna be a stud.
Heatley+Thornton = FAIL (so far, 1 game out of 82).
I know I hacked every name spelling in this post....forgive me.
man can Stalberg fly, great game last night but Price can't continue to play that well every night IMO
Those guys make much money than we do, so we have every right to mispell their names.
Jiontah and Gomes play well together, but it was until Jack Martain demoted Pacioretty to the 2nd line (in-game adjustment) and replaced him with Kamaleri that the 1st line really became ultra dangerous; those 3 together kept buzzing around Tosqalah's net.
Speaking of which, Vesa is gonna lose his job to that Swedish stud, who is much bigger and collected.
Toronto is a typical Beurk team, but I thought they moved the puck really well, and it's gonna be interesting to see what they can do once Fil Kecel comes back.
And yeah, Looongo got drilled yesterday, WTF? but give credit to the Flames, they are gonna be good this season
canucks 0-2.. all that preseason hype for nothing! lol

What do you think its like being a Red Wing fan right now? Your team has a 2 goal lead in each of its first two games only to lose each one because your lineup is full of pussies who get physically dominated in every area of the ice...especially against a real fast, physical, young team like StLouis.
Theyll turn it around, Im sure, but they arent winning the Cup this year. Too brittle and spineless.
Well the Flyers are off to an ok start.
Stalberg looks impressive.
Price saved our asses in the 1st 2 games; I think he stopped like 85-90 shots in 2 games.
Thanks God for Price; Gionta, Camalleri and Moen have been great as well.
It's only 2 games, relax !
If it makes you feel any better, just think about Khabibulin's gaffe vs Calgary the other day
Ken Holland will probably trade for 1 or 2 physical guys before the trading deadline
haha yeah i know its only 2 games.. well make it 3 now. canucknation meltdown in 3.. 2..
You have a good shot at beating Montreal on Wednesday, since we're playing in Calgary the night before.
We should be tired (yeah, I'm already making excuses)
we'll see how it goes, gonna be a good one since half the fans at GM place will be habs fans
