2009-10 NHL Thread

Damn ... I know a lot of those names but I couldn't come up with any of them under pressure.

 

55. All of them since the '50s. None before.

 

Penguins putting on a clinic tonight. Outshot the Blues in the first period 20-3.

 

Early reports from Pittsburgh: Gonchar out indefinitely with a broken wrist.

 

Habs win in a shootout over the Thrashers.

 

Uh-oh ... his return last year was what sparked the Pens. Can they learn to live without him for a while?

 

Well, now it might not be broken. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

 

This may be only of interest to people in Toronto, butTim Wharnsby, who covered the Leafs for the last ten years at The Globe & Mail, is now a senior hockey writer for cbc.ca.

So, who's the new beat guy for the Globe?

Mirtle?

 

Well damn. Gonchar out up to 6 weeks.

Insert Skoula, hope for more from Letang and Goligoski.

 

Marc Savard out 4-6 weeks with a broken foot.

I was just coming in to post the link.

Tough to say if it was just his return or the coaching change that sparked the Penguins last year because Bylsma took over a day later, but the way this team has been cruising so far I would think they can handle the time without him. The important thing is to have him back for the playoffs.
