I thought that was what I said

And yes, now they have Lehner and Bishop.

that is what you said, im doing like 5 different things and missed where you said trade then signed

ottowa will be a scary team for a while if their young goalies can come in and play and they sure up more defensively, and also how they replace alfie when he retires

And it's all very perfect timing to screw the Leafs and any hope they had of progression.

I swear, Leaf fans opinion on Reimer changes every day. One minute he's the face of the franchise, the next he's a castoff that they want traded. Why can't Leaf fans make up their mind?

I keep expecting Anderson to hit a wall. The guy has played 56 out of 65 games. Cutting his finger might have been the best thing that could have happened to the Sens.

Depends on the game played the night before on if they like him.

All the Sens need is for Anderson to be slightly better than average for them to win most of their games. If Lehner and Auld can also do that until he gets back, the Sens shoudl be OK to easily get into the top 8.

And who knows, a few weeks off might be the best thing for the Sens and Anderson.

Depends on if he lets in a goal in the first 60 seconds of the game or not.

there was a period where he looked totally exhausted and it was somewhat recent, now it will be interesting to see what happens when he comes back

I don't think Florida is gonna miss. And too many teams have games on the Jets.
- seanshomes1

yep, FLA has 4 points and 3 games in hand on Win, I don't think Win can make that up on FLA.

If FLA just goes 1-1-1 and those 3 games in hand they are 7 points ahead with 17 to go....Win just isnt catching FLA

current standings in the west...if playoffs started today:

WEST
1. Canucks
2. Blues
3. Coyotes
4. Red Wings
5. Predators
6.BlackHawks
7. Sharks
8. Stars
typo!!
Van vs Dallas...Van in 5
Blues vs Sharks....Blues in 7

You honestly have to watch him play game after game to understand.

One game he's calm, playing his positioning perfectly, letting very few rebounds and stopping breakaways and 2 on 1's in his sleep.

Next game, he's letting every shot that is aimed at the top 40% of the net in and playing way too deep in his net while giving away massive rebounds that leave him diving across the crease to try and make a panic save.

He's just all over the place. Gets back-to-back shutouts and then now he's on a horrible slide that is reminiscent of the Toskala days.

So again, he's not giving Leafs fans much of a choice with his roller coaster of a season.

East:
1. Rangers
2. Ottawa

Wow STL behind Det and Nas? Not gonna happen. Add to that Sharks will be behind Pho the rest of the year
- Stormcujo

Look, the Preds have beaten the Blues 4 out of 5 times (9 points). There are 18 more games to go. It's only one persons opinion. Everyone else has you guys 4th or 2nd or 1st! You all should just be happy to be where you are NOW.

I wanted to be a little different

It was them or Chicago on the outs, and I like Van vs Chi better as a matchup...

Fair enough. They've had some epic playoff battles of late.

With that said though, so have the Sharks and Wings. I don't see the Avs sneaking in, so that would be the team I sub out for the Sharks.

Plus, while I may be bias, I think we'll end up on top of the Pacific Division. 3 matchups with both the Yotes and Kings from this point on will determine that though.
