    Good news for the Leafs: Jake Gardiner is a stud. Skating and puck handling are off the charts.

    Bad news: Luke Schenn is terrible. I wouldn't mind seeing the Leafs unload him. I know he's only 22, but he has lost a step each year he's been in the NHL. His skating is simply not good enough.

    Also good for the Leafs: Joffrey Lupul has been an effective scorer on the top line. Has a hat-trick tonight and eight goals so far.

      Tough loss, played very well after the awful start. Enroth was gold. Vanek was Vanek. Weber was sketchy early (led to a goal) but settled down.

      Tough to not convert on PPs but we did look decent on them.

      Oh, and Giroux's a dirty bitch.

        Just looked back at my predictions to see what they're looking like so far. Noticed that my EC standings would be impossible. That's a great start.

          Claude Giroux = boss
          Sean Couturier = future boss

              I hope he doesn't get suspended by the league today.

              Oh wait, my mistake. It's Kaleta who has the meeting with Shanahan today about his dirty head-butt on Voracek last night.

                No one said anything about Kaleta being a saint. Guy's a dirty punk and I don't like him on my team.

                Giroux's slash to Roy's knee was one of the most bitchmade things I've seen in my short time watching hockey.

                  Pekka Rinne signs a 7-year extension worth $49M ($7M Cap-Hit).

                  His caphit is the biggest for goalies starting next season.

                  This also shows Suter and Weber, that Nashville is willing to give the money to keep them in the team.
                  I'm a finn so don't be surprised if I spell words wrong.

                      Four games for Patrick Kaleta.

                      Definitely a case of suspending based on reputation rather than incident.

                        Duchene moving to Wing and being put on a line with Stastny and Hejduk. I was hoping for this move. Duchene was such a good defensive forward when he was in juniors, but for some reason, he forgot how to play D. f

                        Second line is horrible though, Lindstrom-Galiardi-Jones Only if Olver or Hishon was healthy....

                          Thank you, Predators front office! Rinne is the best player on Nashville's team, by far.

                          In fact, he and rookie forward Craig Smith are the only good things going for the team right now. It's been a rough start for the Preds.

                            I dunno Harry. If PMB got 2 for what he did, nothing will surprise me going forward.

                              Well he's done it before, that's what I'm sayin'. That hit alone is definitely not a four-gamer. I generally don't mind suspending on reputation.

                              I'm just shocked they didn't get anything for whatever-the-hell injured Vanek or for that slash to Roy's knee after the faceoff.

                                What the hell happened to Steve Mason. Columbus would be a lot better if they could get some goaltending.
