On a night they are celebrating Marty St Louis playing in his 1,000th game
He's already scored 2, in 2 periods against my Rangers....:yield:
Great player for such a little guy ...
Best Regards

I agree completely - fabulous player, great skill, durable as hell, and the heart of a lion. Makes you proud to be a hockey fan whichever team you root for. If this guy's not a first-ballot Hall of Famer something will be very, very wrong.
I don't expect this to continue but we might as well at least enjoy the moment.

OMG, the Leafs are now tied with the Canadiens after getting beat by one of the worst teams in the NHL. Embarrassingly, it wasn't even a a challenging shot that beat them, but one that went right through Reimer's legs.
Actually, and sadly for us Leafs fans, it appears that the Leafs are currently the worst team in the league if we look at more advanced statistical analysis such as the Corsi number (CF%) here:

Clarkson has been a beast in evey game he has played so far for the "buds" and even when he does not register on the score sheet, he contributes ten fold............. the sign of a true Pro! he does everything asked of him every shift and is a true Maple Leaf tride and true and will beloved for years to come. :thumb:
My apologies, i've been busy. So here's the most recent update:
NHL standings as of November 17
Maple Leafs are tied for 2nd place in the conference with the Bruins. Surprising to see Detroit losing 6 in a row, currently the worse losing streak in hockey!
Doc, your updates on the NHL standings are always very much appreciated and are a great service to MERB.

Excuse me, Mr. C, but unless you can define the word "tride," how can you possibly dispute his statement?I very respectfully beg to differ.
Clarkson's current Goals Versus Threshold score (-0.2) is similar to Mikael Samuelsson's GVT of 0.0; they have a comparable impact.
A player who has to be a disappointment for the Wings is Bertuzzi's GVT of -2.0. Good thing for the Wings that they're not paying nearly as much for him, because he has to be somewhat of a disappointment given how well he did the seasons before, for a guy whose career is entering its twilight. One has to wonder how he's going to do once he gets back from his injury.
I think next game I attend, I'll wait until the Habs have a tougher opponent.

The Buffalo Sabres have actually played much better since former Jack Adams winner Ted Nolan took over as coach. I think very highly of Nolan's coaching abilities.
Ryan Miller has also had a very good year between the pipes. I'm also impressed with Steve Ott, whom i'd take on my team any time.
Tyler Myers needs a good kick in the ass to get his game going again, and Nolan may just be the guy to do it.
p.s. Without looking at stats, i'd say that the worst team in the league right now are the N.Y. Islanders. The Calgary Flames & the Florida Panthers aren't much better.
