Good win against the Rangers last night for sure. I hope Reimer's good for Sunday, though. The Pens game Saturday without him is going to be tough. Also hoping Kessel's good to go. Two too many key players injured for my liking!

Agreed! They played well Saturday but what happened last night? Against the Sens? Oh boy. It's games like that they need to win.

Ugh, Bruins playing style always seems to stump the Leafs, or record history has way too much sway on confidence when it comes to playing them. Bruins aren't exactly playing well this season, but every time the Leafs play them it's like they forget how to play hockey.

Anyways, it's all good. They've still been doing well lately and beating teams of a high caliber. As long as they can keep doing that, occasional losses to teams like Boston is fine. They've got a few games coming up that will probably be easy wins for them, Florida and St. Louis aren't exactly spectacular these days. Might be a good time to test Scrivens out some more if Reimer's not healed by then.

I do wish Reimer would hurry up and heal, though

Also, good job by Ben Scrivens the other day against Columbus. For his first NHL game it looked pretty fucking promising!

Ugh. The reality of being a goalie is that you need to have the ability to keep your team in the game even when your team isn't on their A game. Gustavsson really doesn't have that ability at all. 3 goals in on 21 shots isn't what the Leafs need right now. And against the Panthers of all fucking teams.

Please don't let this be the point in the reoccurring story where the Leafs play amazingly and then suddenly decide to take a nosedive that disappoints hopeful fans yet again...

Hockey lover, here!

I have a few favorite teams: the Canucks, the Wild, and the Blackhawks. I try to catch a Habs game here and there, as well. Canucks are my #1 however.

Here in Portland we have a minor league (WHL) team, The Portland Winterhawks. Not the greatest team ever, but in a city with no NHL franchise, it's nice to be able to go out and see a game.

Recently, the Canucks pulled their main goaltender, Luongo, for a few games and were using their backup, Cory Schneider. A lot of people were upset about that, but Schneider has done fantastic for someone not having much ice-time with the Canucks. He even had 2 consecutive shutouts a few games back. Unfortunately, Schneids had a bad start last night, so they stuck Luongo back in the net at 2nd period. It was a pretty intense game (surprisingly), but in the end we lost 6-5 against *deep breath* The Predators. Blah.

I grew up in Boston, so I'm a Bruins fan. Went to college in Pittsburgh, followed the Pens. They play in Boston over Turkey weekend, and again before Christmas. Which game should I go to?

Well, I think the better question will be is: are they going to strike or be locked out? http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2012/8/2...-cba-christmas
