since just before 2nd intermission... yes. Prior to that, I was not pleasant to be around.

Hmm yeah guess you are right. I dont think anything will happen big with carlyles old team

know what's hard to do... watch 2 teams you aren't a fan of play in their own half empty building.

TV is one thing, but live, when nobody's there, and you don't care who wins?

Saw Ducks-Sharks in Anaheim in March 2011. good game by all accounts, but just couldn't get into it. Just no energy in the building.

Yeah lupul got that lone goal, but he seems a bit emotionless... last year he was on a (frank)ing rampage... i think when lupul gets hurt, when he comes back he plays better with more intensity. Hes seems sluggish now... Its like hes off for so long with injury then so excited and amped to be back and play hockey

yeah i know what u mean, surprising one time i went to see florida vs rangers in florida, the fanbase of the panthers is pretty good when they decide to show up, very energetic and enthusiastic but this was couple years back. Pretty funny. Rangers are so boring to watch seriously

can't believe that pass got through. I was already female doging in my head cause Kessel hadn't passed it then GOAL!!!!.

was like WTF how did that get through?

then I rememberd the Norris trophy is for offensive accomplishments by a Dman

missed a bit of camp due to the back spasms... but I dunno, I thought he's looked more focussed. game high 7 shots tonight.

lot of PK's the first 2 games so his ice-time was down - legs might not be quite there yet.

I enjoy the lupul that brings intensity and goes on a rampage and just merks in every aspect. He seems really lost out there. Thats why i said whenever he gets hurt and comes back, he seems to go on a major hot streak always

If a non focused Lupul puts in 4 points in 3 games imagine what a focused lupul would do! to be fair he has shuffled around the lineup a bit, playing with Kadri, Kulemin, Bolland, Kessel, and Raymond

Love ya Bernier

Mason Raymond is alot better than I expected so far, same with Bolland, same with pretty much everyone nonis picked up

And man Clarskon ain't even here yet.. Yeah I know I sound over the top but this is definitely the deepest team we've had in a long time I like it... Like it alot

lol holy (frank), reading some comments on tsn etc about this game, people throwing Reimer under the bus and building statues to Bernier lol after 3 games

Wait until Bernier has a rough game and/or loses.

"Why did we get this guy? We gave up way too much!"

It's bizarre. After a stellar beginning to a career for a young goalie, we have officially cast him into the abyss after 1.5 periods of hockey. People seem to forget that, shortened season or not, Reimer turned in one of the best Leafs goaltending performances in a decade last year.

bozak is so good at faceoffs, he lost alot to spezza. Spezza is 100 times better than bozak at faceoffs and point production. Case closed.

Bernier looks more content so far than reimer, less goals given up. Thats why everyones on the bernier wagon

Please tell me that you can at least see the folly of judging performance on a 1.5 game sample size.

I can, but i simply said from the beginning Bernier will steal the show. Bernier has more skills than reimer and i honestly think he will take over. Plus i like bernier better than reimer already for alot of reasons but thats just me and my opinion. But over a small sample size i agree that it does not justify bernier being better than reimer even though i think both should get half and half season sharing the duties equally.

On another note... (frank) abbott what the hell is carlyle thinking, bring (frank)ing leivo up and shove him on the 2nd line geesus christ what is this rocket science? Leivo is more of a threat than abbott and was amazing during preaseason with much more upside and skill. Abbott are you kidding me? 2nd line material? no way in hell.

Im pretty sure Abbott got rewarded for being the best player in the Marlies camp/pre season games...I don't mind rewarding the players who are performing over the guys with more potential...

Not much of an accomplishment, had to be just a bit better than awful for that

J. Faulk is there

Edit: In a multi-category, how valuable is Voynov? He'll get points, but not much else
