IF the Pens can keep winning, they will have a chance to tie the NHL record for consecutive wins @WAS on Dec 23rd, 1 week before the Winter Classic - talk about a buildup!

Not to discount, Kurri or Messier. But I would hands down take Jagr on my wing first.
Also, you take a look at the big 5, Gretzky, Howe, Richard, Orr and Lemeiux, you have the greatest forwards the game has ever seen, howevwr. Howe and Richards were the 50-60's greatest Orr took over in the early 70's Gretzky owned the 80's Lemieux, The 90's Sadly, there isn't an apparent best for the 2000-2010 period. Arguably Crosby, Ovy for second half. I think, in 10 years, you will see Crosby, Stamkos, Ovechkin, Malkin for 2010-2020 |

You know, I have to say that assisting on a goal by passing can be as hard as scoring.
Accurately passing to a moving teammate, banking off the boards, etc. Is something that takes a lot of skill. |

By playing hockey three times a week, I'll tell you that yes, making an accurate pass is harder than it look, but it's much easier to get on the board for an assist. you can just be the guy who handed it to the player who then made the real play-making pass, and you still get a nod.

First assist rather, not secondary.

lol, Brian Burke is sitting next to Pat Quinn at Markus Naslund's jersey retirement in Vancouver. Wonder if Quinn's like, "So Burkie, you need any help behind the bench in T.O?".
![]() Classy video message from Bertuzzi just shown while I was writing this. Never liked Bertuzzi even though he played OHL here when I was a kid, but great message to Naslund. Cool to see Bertuzzi putting on a 'nucks jersey one more time. ![]() |

I love the fact that Toronto fans are all over tonights game.
1) You beat a backup in his second start in almost 30 games 2) Your still not in the playoffs...not even close. |

Habs shouldn't beat themselves up over this loss. I expected the Habs to come out flat tonight after the amazing performance they put on in the 3rd period against Detriot. It was full throttle for the whole period, they were bound to be worn out tonight.

Letang you mean the guy who is tied for 2nd in the NHL for points by a defenceman, is gonna likely be on the starting roster for the all star game and leads the league in +/-, btw Gogo plays 2nd PP, it's Martin and Letang usually. Btw Fleury has completely and utterly rebounded from his bad start, oh and key to the Pens winning Defence they are third in the league in Lowest Goals against per game, 2nd in the league in PK%. Also their rag tag guys re putting pucks in at opportune times. They have a lot of underrated grinders that wear out the other time and kill the clock super efficiently when they have the lead

Fleury is a good goalie. He can be streaky at times, but he's a good goalie

Ondrej Pavelec (only played half of his team's games last year had a GAA of over 3) Carey Price (Lost his job to Halak) None of these guys were top goalies last year, all of them have rebounded huge this year. So living proof that goalies can rebound, Fleury's stats since his rebound would put him neck and neck with the league's top goalie's |

Yup that's why I said he'll likely be on the starting roster for the All-Star game, as it stands right now he's an early legit candidate for the Norris

Although the Pens are my "official" favorite team (since they have been my whole life), ever since Lemieux retired again my philosophy has been to cheer for all the Canadian teams first, Pens second. Even though I've been a life long Leafs hater, I do cheer for them on occasion now, lol.
In that case, it means I like the Habs!! GO HABS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (awwww, Thomas racked up a loss tonight for the B's ![]() I missed the first 2 periods, Bruins came on fairly strong during the last half of the 3rd, out hustled the Habs to the puck. Great effort on their part. ![]() |

I am not saying that the Habs are terrible but the whole team is full of jerk offs.
Really is only 1 or 2 likable guys on the whole team. The rest of them are complete cocksuckers. |

Gotta agree with Spilly on that.
Camel, Gionta, Hamrlik, Plekanec and Price are ok. I don't really care for the rest so much. Fuck Scott Gomez. |

Also, hate to say this about my own team but the Habs really lost their "personality" when Koivu left. Gionta is cool with me, just isn't Koivu at all.
