Crosby avg is now down to 2pts/game.

It's hard to say.  Winnipeg might be the loudest now, but once the postseason rush begins, the Canadian teams really come on strong.

Well thats it - Winnipeg fans sound like its a playoff game every single night.

Who knows who might be loudest in the playoffs - we'll just have to wait for the inevitable Winnipeg White Out to return to find out if Winnipeg fans can kick it up yet another notch.

Ok there buddy.

I don't think you've been to a habs-bruins playoff game. Just sayin'.

some hockey fragments from my brain:

wow. lotta hate between Buffalo and Boston, these days. Nice to see oldish rivalries rekindled. the Canucks are keeping their own lives difficult by playing either really well, or totally crappy only. Kesler really has lost his edge this year. Last year the guy had "the Stare" ... now he seems haunted more than anything. too bad. but ah well most of the games, even the losses have been entertaining on some level. I'm actually not really down on anyone this year.

I really like that all of the teams seem really competitive most nights. Enjoying Hockey this year, so far, but not so excited as the last couple. (and not just because of the Canucks' dullness so far, the only players I'm excited to see are the kids on Edmonton, to be fair.

Not really a Kessel fan, but I'd love to see a Leaf win a scoring trophy of some kind. very rare hockey sight that.

This just in.

Your Winnipeg Jets have now hit .500.   

And also:

I'm pretty sure I have watched more hockey in the last two months than in the last 15 years.   

[Jacob]

Schneider is doing good for the Canucks right now

[Neil]

I've watched a couple of Oilers games this year, and they're really exciting.  Those young guys really can play.

[HVC]

Luke Schenn has the most unfortunate youthful mustach I have ever seen. It's growing in thcker in the middle then the sides giving him a hitler stach

Apparently they really are panicking in Caps-land.  Bruce Budreau was fired this morning.

Good.  I appreciate what he did for the team but it was past time for him to go.

[Grey Fox]

It's bound to happen when your top 2 players are actively lobbying for you to get fired.

Yep.  And it is still long before the games mean much.  Lets get this thing back on track before they blow the whole thing.

[Grey Fox]

Maurice is bounced too, Captain Kirk Muller takes over.

God damn it, who's going to take Martin's job now?

[viper37]

Dale Hunter to replace Boudreau.  I just found myself a new team

In other news, Max Paciorrety should be suspended for 1 week, at least.  Thank God Letang scored that nice goal in OT.

[Grey Fox]

1 week, how many games is that?


IMO he's going to get 1 or 2 games because Letang wasn't injured on the play(Broken Noses do not count, THIS IS HOCKEY).

[Barrister]

Too busy for a lengthy post, but:

1. Randy Carlyle fired overnight in favour of Bruce Boudreau. 

2. Phoenix visits Winnipeg tonight.
