All-Purpose Hockey Thread III

Gotta get through Thursday. Thank God Friday is a stat holiday!

 

Sorry to be a dope .... Mo?

 

Mo=Paul Maurice

I take it they don't call him Mo in Toronto like they did in Raleigh.

 

Not that I've heard but we think he's great. Besides, he's hot for an NHL coach.

 

God willing--and by God, I mean Adam Graves--the Rangers beat Montreal Thursday night and clinch a berth. They don't want to go to Pittsburgh having to win the game to clinch, especially if the Pens are still alive in the race for the Atlantic.

I think the Leafs beat the Islanders Thursday

 

From your lips to God's ears, my friend.

 

What? Barry Trotz doesn't do it for you?

 

Barry Trotz makes me look like a fuckin' model.

 

He's got shoulders like Herman Munster.

 

All the more reason for you and me to like the guy.

On a more serious note, my bandwagon will be with the Leafs. I'd like to see Mo get another shot at the Cup.

And now ... may all the second-guessing and "how can hockey consistent do well in a non-traditional market" storylines heat up again ... :'(

 

Yeah, not what the Pens needed with the Devils winning tonight. I'm guessing there goes that top-three seed.

 

I'll put your mind at ease, at least a little. Atlantic race will be over long before the Rangers get to Pittsburgh. There's a SMALL chance the Pens could still be in the running for home-ice against the Sens. My guess is that the Pens will have nothing to play for Saturday.
