Calgary is on a roll! MLSE gave up on Burkie too soon just as i said all along. He is a great hockey mind with a Stanley Cup to his name as well.

In other news, the Canadians have dropped three in a row out west, even if by some miracle they make it to the finals they cannot match up with the big bad tough fast skilled western teams, who also have great goaltending but not just great goaltending alone.

I agree about Burkie.

As for the habs, their biggest problem is that they can barely score any goals & they rely on their goaltending to get them through way too much. This isn't soccer, it's hockey. Say all you want, but the name of the game is still about scoring goals. Did their GM address this at the trade deadline? Nope. He picked up a couple of 3rd liners and an average defenceman. What he needed was one or two big scoring wingers....Jaromir Jagr would have been perfect for them.....and a proven veteran goalie to give Carey Price a break. Dustin Tokarsky's girlfriend may be the hottest one of that group, but he's no NHL-calibre goalie. He should be in Hamilton playing for the Bulldogs.

p.s. And David Desharnais is not a #1 center.

He also has to his name 4 losing seasons as Leaf GM (4 WORSE seasons, in fact, than his predecessor John Ferguson Jr.) and was the chief architect of a Leaf team that is now so devastatingly bad that it is being torn down and dismantled in the faint hope of building something new and even remotely acceptable as an NHL team.

I would love to see Calgary win another Cup for Burke, he deserves it just as he deserved to finish out his tenure in TO.

If Price were to get injured the Canadians become a marginal team at best, but with that said he makes a average team, a good one.

Tokarsky was good against the rangers (remember lost last game of seven by one goal) .... He won a few cups in the junior... I'm not woried about that....

Yea but the pressure between Jr. and the NHL is nowhere near the same. Fucale is the future backup in another year or 2.

The pressure was there when price got hurt, And he was able to win 3 games .... The team will rally behind him and give the same quality of defense (oufff) .........
Fucale two three years we can wait and trade Tokarsky for better the team

I agree that Tyler Bozak has also had a bad year. No wonder he's on the trading block. But i'm amazed at all the hate thrown towards DD & Lars Eller from habs fans. Eller, it's understandable since he was acquired for their hero Jaroslav Halak. But DD has continued to defy the odds and their best forward (Pacioretty) loves playing next to him.

But like Tyler Bozak, DD isn't really a true #1 center.

Watching the Wings/Bruins game. Go Wings!!! :D

Latest on the Leafs:

Horachek sent Kadri home for being late.

Leaf plus-minus leader Robidas out for the rest of the season for surgery. Played a total of 51 games this year and was one of the few remaining Leafs who appeared to be giving an honest effort.

Last time the Rangers will be playing on the Island tonight

The end of an Era

I was surprised to see that the Islanders won like 65 % of the all time meetings

Those early guys killed us

Onto Brooklyn for them next year , where I guarantee it will be more than 50 % Ranger fans in the building

Best Regards

Nice to see Nazem Kadri hit with a well-deserved 4 game suspension. His type of thuggery has no place in the NHL. Combined with his recent 3 game suspension by his OWN team, this means that "the Dream" (lol) has missed or will miss a total of at least 7 games near the tail end of the season. I say "at least" because it would not surprise me at all if this repeat offender is suspended again...either by his own team or by the league. Obviously some players cannot learn. Not that it matters, of course, since the Leafs have already been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention (again) this year.

Police officer: Mario Tremblay ripped P.K. Subban during arrest

Former Montreal Canadiens coach Mario Tremblay allegedly made disparaging remarks about current defenseman P.K. Subban as Tremblay was being arrested and charged with speeding and suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Multiple media outlets have reported that a Quebec police officer testified in court Thursday that after he pulled Tremblay over for traveling 29 kilometers per hour (18 mph) over the posted speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour (31 mph), the officer smelled alcohol on Tremblay's breath.

When the officer tried to arrest Tremblay, the former NHL player refused to take a breathalyzer test and reportedly said the officer was like Subban, making poor decisions and being petty.

The testimony by Constable Maxime Perron took place in a municipal court near Montreal, the Globe and Mail newspaper reported Friday, citing a report by French language newspaper Le Journal de Montreal.

Local radio station CJAD reports on its website that Tremblay's lawyers are challenging the version of events provided by the police officer.

Tremblay is now a well-known broadcast analyst with RDS in Quebec.

The incident took place in late January, according to Le Journal.
