Lupul out 3 to 4 weeks.

Sounds to me like it's time to go for that top 3 pick.

I concur with this statement.

Army might be out for tonight, he has a broken nose. I wonder if they are allowed to use emergency recall to bring players up if too many guys get injured.

Brian Burke's response to Cherry's rant a few days ago.

“Since I’ve been here we’ve drafted more Ontario-born players than anybody else. We’ve selected 10 players during that time from the Ontario Hockey League,” he said. “That, again, is the most by any team; the next (most) is eight. So the notion that we don’t like Ontario kids, that’s garbage. Why would the CBC let facts get in the way of an interesting rant?”

Don is a senile fool. Case in point, there are 8 Ontario-born players playing for the Marlies.

ok forgive me if this sounds stupid but: Not everyone in the NHL is American or Canadien.
does everyone in the OHL have to be from Ontario?

No, however the majority of kids drafted into the OHL, happen to come from AAA-type leagues that are based in Ontario. Nail Yakupov, who is one of the top prospects in the upcoming draft, is from Russia but plays in the OHL. He may have chosen to enter the league to learn how to play North American hockey. There are Americans who get drafted into the OHL because they choose to enter the league, just like there are Americans in the WHL. I doubt there are many players from outside the Maritime's and Quebec in the QMJHL because it's dominated by Quebec kids.

Ashton is an emergency call up.

Lupul out 3 to 4 weeks.

I think Lupul might just be allergic to Carlyle.

leafs/pens tsn

[Rennadrel]

TSN makes me want to punch kittens, all the time.

[Greeney]

Rosehill makes me want to punch kittens...
Really, I can't comprehend why this guy is in the NHL.


lol Pittsburgh thinks they have a right to complain to us about goalie interference. *After that issue with Bozak clearly costing us a point. *Nice of the refs to finally not screw Leafs over in that situation.

[Epuration]

that was*defiantly*goaltender*interference...

[Greeney]

LOL. *Watch the replay.

[Rennadrel]

w00t 2-0! Keep it rolling boys.

[Masqerader]

i saw pierre mcguire... poor ray ferraro

[Ostrichsized]

I hate Pierre McGuire with every fiber of my being.

[Fuzzzie]

2-1 Leafs at the end of the 2nd. Been up since 3am so I think I'm gonna skip the rest. Hopefully we get 2 pts here. Really need it.

[Ostrichsized]

Also, is anyone else watching the Hurricanes take 879 penalties? This is crazy.

I hope they can score shorthanded. *I really, really do.

They almost did on that break. They're lucky the Sabres are as inconsistent as they are this season. If they were facing almost anyone else it'd be a wrap by now.

[Grrwaherr]

Sabres win 3-2 in overtime. Now tied at 9th with Washington. Come on Pens, beat the leafs!

You have nothing to worry about, Miller is on his A-game and Buffalo is too good at the end of the stretch consistently. *You'll probably lose in the first round to Rangers or Bruins though.*

[AceofHarts]

come on Leafs...seriously? 2-1 lead at the end of the second and halfway through the third you have given up 2 goals?

Yeah, Sabres are 0-1-2 with Rangers this year. But they were incredible games so you never know. Tommorrow vs. Boston will be a good one to watch as always.
