Hopefully, it doesn't end your playing days but I think this story should serve as a valuable lesson to folks out there.

Great news!! I think the "sweet spot" is an understatement on this one... Thanks a lot guys. Means a lot. We plan on celebrating at Dave and Buster's sometime in the near future, as that's what we did the night before she started her chemo...family outing there That's great, now you just have to solve that whole living in New Jersey thing.

I've had a night to sleep on it and I still don't get why Sobotka's "first goal" last night was disallowed.

Depending on how deep your league is, Lucic is probably not a high value pick. I would have projected him for a hair over 20 goals heading into this season so there are definitely a lot better forward options out there. As for Rask and Thomas, one strategy that I try to use in fantasy hockey is that I'll try to get both goalies on a team that I expect to have strong goaltending stats, that way you can start one of them and the other is your backup, protecting you no matter who gets the starting nod. On to last night's game, I thought the B's played better, for the most part, than they did on Saturday. They wilted a little under the Toronto attack early in the third but other than that played a pretty solid game. I'll have to say, the third was one of the most fun periods to watch in a while.

I'll never leave and will most likely die no more than 15 miles from where I was born, a true New Englander. As for the B's, they are having too much trouble scoring and the D is having way too many unforced giveaways to expect them to make any noise past the first round. Now, if the D shapes up and they put a bonafide scorer on Savard's wing then maybe we'll have something to talk about. Absent of that, the B's will be a decent regular season team that gets bumped in the first round.

. I wonder if Gretz or Mario would have posted like this had the web been around for them.

I'm guessing he was talking about the black coating.

Not too bad, you definitely feel the difference on the glide. I could be one profile refresh from loving the FBV.

Each time I wipe out I'll be begging for a call. "Someone had to have taken me down, no way I fell on my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I figured I'd wait until now to try it. 75 pages of rave reviews just weren't enough for me, I needed 100 to be sure.

Same day as John Lennon, weird.

I'll be taking my virgin voyage on the FBV tonight, 35 years on a traditional hollow down the drain.

It was a nice ceremony. Too bad they ruined it with Claude Lemieux. Edit: The thing I thought would be the best as a current Hab player was being in that photo with all those legends. I was half expecting them to leave the current Habs on one bench and then put the B's on the other one.

What was the deal with doing the francophone legends introductions only in French?

Is this supposed to be a poem?

Hard for me to say the B's have turned any kind of corner after watching Friday's no-show against the Habs. Too many giveaways and too many missed coverages in their game for my liking. Matt Hunwick is one turnover from a 2 week confidence stint with the P-Bruins. There are sophomore slumps and then there is what Hunwick is doing this season.

Don't get too excited. The Leafs are at the bottom of the barrel for a reason. I'd like to see the B's put together this kind of a night against a real opponent.

I think once the economy swings back around in the next few years you're going to see a lot of these players in ridiculous length deals being very unhappy.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=300811 hawks ain't gonna change much next few years Hence the use of the past tense, "The thought WAS......" I'd just like to go on the record now that giving Keith a no movement clause might be the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time. I think I understand the thinking behind it, though. It might be tough to get a guy to sign that long-term if they have the fear in their head of being wheeled to hockey purgatory for a large balance of their contract.

Based on the fact that they are already being dumped, the Octogun line of sticks from CCM should qualify as a bust.

Playing under the lights at Fenway is looking like it is going to happen. The details were getting hashed out as our team enjoyed our annual B's game in a box at the Garden. Dinner in the North End didn't hurt, either.

My money is on moldy gear.

If you've been feeling that bad for that long then you should see a doctor. Nobody should be sick for 3 months.

No, he is officially an idiot.

The Thrashers have a "Damn the torpedoes!" approach. Fits perfectly for their guys who hate defensively responsible hockey.
