    Nice win over the Islanders last night, go into this holiday break with a nice little winning streak. Hopefully this break will give Lupol's foot a nice rest. If he goes down, Kessel will be lost.
    Still not sold on Kadri, he still gets pushed around too much, maybe I'm not being patient enough with him, but damm it all, pick it up and make it look like you belong in the league :)

    Looks like Ron Wilson got what he wanted for Christmas:
    @coachrw63: "He came! He came!" Remember saying that as a little kid? Well he did: I got a new Red Ryder BB gun and a contract extension!

    Yup...The terrible penalty kill will still be intact for a few more years.

    Yeah, I really like the massive amount of homes games this month...only 3 on the road and Pittsburgh is the furthest they have to travel...Come February 1st, they'll either be buyers or sellers. This is the make or break month for them...Hopefully having all these games at home with home ice advantage count for something.

    10-5-4 at home isn't exactly shit...only the Rangers and penguins have fewer loses on home ice)...And it's better than their .500 record on the road...if they can win 5 of their 7 home games (which is very reasonable), they have the opportunity to take 2 of their 3 road games (maybe even all 3) and this could really vault them into the top of the east...

    come one, you're a Leaf fan, aren't you? We've got to think wishfully!

    that is essentially 10-9 ... the 4 is OTL which is essentially a loss ... that's not a very good record at home ...

    i am a leaf fan which in it of itself is a curse ... haha ... but i'm not gonna give free passes here ... great win last nite but jeez - the standing around and watching the other team skate circles is infuriating!

    A good win tonight from the boys in blue! Good for Monster getting his second SO in three starts.

    Not really liking him myself, he has some great talent, but unless he toughens up, I say trade him and get something good. By toughening up, I mean he has to be stronger, he still gets knocked down way to much for my liking. Imagine the playoffs (if they get there) he'll get eaten alive out there.

    Cmon boys, like to see 5 in a row, cant remeber the last time they did that

    he did have a big hit last nite ... but yeah ... for sure - he needs to add more strength ... needs to get on a sidney crosby power skating regimen ...

    these are the type of games this team would always lose ... second of home and away series against the same team ... let's see if this team has indeed made some strides ...

    It's definitely time for them to leave all that in the past. For the first time in a long while, they've consistently been an exciting team to follow.
