Well...one GM told the CALGARY SUN...what's that tell you?

Don't breath a word of it...they may even be 5-0 soon...but only due to the fact that they have 5 games at home and all against non-playoff teams to start the season.
KESSEL AND DION though...keep it up!!! :-)

C'mon Canuck...post the Phaneuf hit on DeCosta last night....what a beauty! Course you could also post the video of the Kessel hat trick. All nice goals too, you can't deny.

Good maybe if the GM's get the memo everyone will... NOBODY wants to see a nasty player sucker punching another player. Watch videos like the hit on Shane Willis with 12 seconds left on the game or Tie Domi's elbowing Niedermayer. NO TRUE HOCKEY FAN WANTS TO SEE THAT!

But how 'bout the work Kessel did with Lombardi behind the net to kill the clock? Last year Kessel wouldn't go near that big crowd behind the net, and if he got the puck he would have tried digging it out of the corner instead of keeping it there and would have went for the empty net.

I absolutely love the fact that hockey it is the most physical sport out there, however I want it to be CLEAN hitting... I am sure many hockey fans feel the same way!

By the way Phaneuf's hit was clean and it was a beauty!

Argos beat me to it.

I liked the Dion hit and Kessel stepped up last night.

Anybody know the number for the suicide hotline?

Yes it's true and par for the course as Argos does seem to usually be one step ahead of you Canuck...eh?

Kessel is young and his game is developing...as long as he can keep Wilson out of his head I'd expect you will see a lot more of this type of play from him...Even in the Habs game with his back checking speed to take the puck then run it all the way back up the ice only to have a Leaf forget to give it back to him on the door step...Not sure if Connely will be the answer but I'll reserve judgement until I actually see him healthy...I know that could be a long wait but still...
Oh...from what we've seen so far and with Frasen on the bubble...maybe...just maybe, Burke might consider making a play for a top forward using Schenn as bait.

Lombardi and Steckle could very well be the best moves Burkie pulled off recently...I can't imagine why the Caps didn't use him more to draw the puck over to O.V when they had him. He also has great reach and a very quick stick...and difficult to move.

Yeah...and to be honest, I think it's time that the NHL cracked down on guys going after a guy for laying on a beautiful CLEAN hit. It's a real skill set and a wonderful part of the game that deserves to be encouraged and those that oppose it should be punished accordingly. It's like beating up on a guy after he scored a goal for pete's sake and needs to be addressed.

Opinions?

That's only because of the landmines. :-)

I'll have to agree re Steckle but Lombardi was invisible last night.

Second anti-Schenn comment from you today. What's up with that?

Shades of Nick Kronwell. Clean enough hit.
