Big boobs..its true..

burkes biggest mistake as a gm was his miscalculation of his goaltending....well, almost as bad as the kessel deal.
- Barx

...maybe more. If he hadn't miscalculated Toskola's suckiness in year number 1 the Kessel deal wouldn't look all that bad.

Sens vs Panthers fans in a Leaf blog fighting, (frank)ing love it

(frank) the Panthers. Years of sucking and now their entire fanbase is on here, trolling the elder statesmen

its okay.. their team is the panthers

you could fill their entire arena for the price of one gold seat at the ACC lol

Just sayin, Mr. MacLean may have had something to do with the big change as well.
- bixll

It had a lot to do with a lot of things... Remember, the Senators made the playoffs with a roster not appreciably worse than the one we ice today in 2010... A lot of veteran guys staying healthy/having bounce back seasons was a factor as well... Erik Karlsson's been solid, too.

But yeah, MacLean for the Jack Adams

- Dozzer

And if you combine the 2....enough said..

We actually may be the first team in history to go from being first in their conference at one point to last in their conference by the end of the season. How awesome is that? Leafs keep making history...poopty, horribly depressing history but history nonetheless!

Their has to be stories of successes on every team that makes the playoffs, players mindsets are the hardest to control and maybe the most important too control. Coaches biggest issue is to deal with the mental side of the game, not the physical.

Well hello, Mr Clean. How goes it today?

It's funny cause it's true.

The dude last night was pretty proud of the fact that the Panthers have one of the better turn outs, better than Nashville and TB. I think I checked and they were bottom 10 this whole decade.

We had a service guy in Tampa about 2 months before the playoffs, the year they won the cup. They were giving away Tampa Lightning tickets with the purchase of a BIG MAC meal and McDonald's/

For real.

Problem with Reimer's concussion, I don't think it is an excuse.

He came back and struggled but then apparantly found his game again because like I said earlier he had back to back shutouts.

I guess I'm just tired of the fact that everyone is blaming his play on his concussion. Remember, he was never projected to be more than a NHL backup at best. Maybe we are seeing the reason why.

What was Halak projected as? Tim Thomas? Antti Niemi? It's not uncommon for a goalie to late-bloom or come out of nowhere. This is why goalies are rarely selected in the first round, and when they are there's a Dipietro or Montoya for every Luongo and Fleury.

i am glad for the franchise tho.. tallon is doing a nice job making them competitive.. they are by no means cup favorites but they need the playoffs to get their fanbase halfway interested again.

florida fans are fickle (i am including TB in this).. if you succeed they seem to come out but if you dont do well.. they leave ya in the lurch.

By draft day we might be the first team in history to trade away two lottery picks in a 3 year span.

Halak, Thomas and Niemi all proved themselves as backups first.

They weren't thrown into the #1 position. Reimer is twisting in the wind right now every time he goes out there.
