The main story on TSN is Phil Kessel leaving the game for a bit of time only to come back with a cut on his lip. neutral

Why does TSN have such a big bone for him?

I think I have heard more about Kessel than Ovechkin.

EDIT - It changed to Osgood shutting out the Bruins. Still, Kessel story really didn't need to be up there.

The reason he got highlighted was how he got that cut on his lip. Ohlund absolutely plastered him.

That maybe so but they still mentioned that he returned fine. If any other player were to have that happen to them I doubt TSN would make it the lead story.

In my opinion it was unnecessary. Oh well its over with and the leafs lost again so I can laugh again.

One win in thirteen games.

Anyone want to bet when they get the second win?

I don't think anyone could've predicted Hudler choosing Dynamo Moscow over the NHL, but if the KHL wants to throw billions of rubles around to attract players, it can't be helped.


Given the Red Wings' road woes so far this season, the Leafs will probably get lucky and get win number 2 this Saturday.


Well, at least there's the Penguins... what a crazy game last night!

Pens/Ducks game was good. Some back to back scores.

I'm sure everyone has seen Mike Liambas' hit on Ben Fanelli. Fanelli is is the hospital in critical condition. But is it just me or was the hit completely clean? He glides in, does not jump, it is not late, and the only reason it may be considered from behind is because Fanelli turned.

It's a clean hit, just a horrible out-come.

ANd Liambas has been suspended for the enire season and playoffs. Because he is an overager, his career is done.

This is an absolute joke. No cannot convince me that hit was dirty. There may have been intent to injure, but really, had Fanelli got up and skated away, there would not even be a penalty. He was suspended on the outcome, not the action.

Thats ridiculous. Your completely right about it being a joke.

[Scrife the Wise]

Chris Osgood with a 50th shut out....that is hard to believe.
Good for him.

That Liambas hit was brutal, but not entirely his fault. Fanelli turned his back on the hit that he had looked up and seen coming. And Liambas got suspended for the entire season and playoffs? Thats just wrong.
Sure, I hope Fanelli recovers and all, but that play was not suspension worthy on its own.


But that aside, figured Id post after hearing that Krejci has come down with Swine Flu. As if our injuries werent dealing enough damage to the team to point, we have to deal with this virus now too? Talk about a shitty start to a season.
Hope Krejci recovers soon and is well.

The rest of the Bruins will be taking on the Habs tonight in the Garden. It will definitely be an interesting game given the way our roster is looking now.

Speaking of the H1N1 virus, an Alberta health official has been fired over the whole Calgary Flames/Abbotsford Heat fiasco.

For those who didn't hear about it, there is a shortage of H1N1 vaccines in Canada. So a priority list was created so people more likely to catch H1N1 would be first in line. (People with health problems, young children, pregnant women, etc.) Somehow the Calgary Flames, the Abbotsford Heat AND their families were vaccinated ahead of the priority list.

So in essence: Full grown, very healthy men got vaccinated ahead of countless people with chronic health problems. This just added insult to injury for the Edmonton Oilers. Their line-up is completely destroyed by the flu, and they followed protocol. They are waiting in line like everyone else in Canada.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors have also been vaccinated in a similar situation. Expect more heads to roll.

Vancouver, Montreal, Edmonton, and Ottawa are all waiting patiently for the priority listing to be completed.

I would consider pro athletes just as if not more important than many of the "priority" groups. They travel from city to city coast to coast, country to country. This could spread the infection quickly. Secondly, they interact with and play in front of upwards of 20 000 fans a day depending on where they are, also making the spread likely. Thirdly, if they are getting it, people will follow suit. Finally, they visit sick kids in the hospital. We definitely do not want dieing kids to be killed by their heroes.

Onto more pleasant notes, the Wings have finally remembered how to win on OT AND against the Sharks who made it hard to pull off.

The Canucks put down the Wild this evening.

I'll follow up with more info later if Jasp doesn't beat me to it.
