    No, I'm just joshing. ;D :D

    If I were being mean, I'd say the Islanders are playing good hockey! :D ;D

    As long as they get further than the Leafs so I can taunt Double J, I'll probably be content this year. ;D

    By accident, the Flyers will play longer than do the Leafs. The Leafs aren't going to do anything this season.

    Leafs will get the 8th playoff spot and play Ottawa in the first round. True to form those gutless pukes from our nation's capital will fold like a cheap tent. :)

    Congrats to Cam Neely and the new inductees to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

    Penguins-Rangers at MSG tonight. 2-0 Pittsburgh after two. Goals by Lemieux and Crosby. The Pens' forecheck has given the Rangers problems. Also, for the first time this season, the Rangers look like they'd rather be anywhere else than at the rink.

    And now, Ziggy Palffy rips a shot past Kevin Weekes. 3-0 Pens.

    HB, you watching this game on the thing called television?

    I'm reduced to radio on NHL.com

    OLN is on Time Warner Cable in NYC.

    I really like the way OLN presents the game. Shockingly enough, they think hockey fans will watch hockey without any wacky graphic packages covering half the screen.

    However, I think the in-studio group needs to be worked on. Neil Smith is clearly reading off...the...tele...prompt...er.

    Well the Pens sure as hell tried to give the damn thing away with one of their patented third period giveaways. Sebastien Caron earned his pay tonight having to stop 35 shots.

    OLN still needs some work. The score box is a little difficult to see from a reasonable distance from the tube. Also, maybe it's my cable provider, but the broadcast kinda freezes up every five minutes.

    I'm really impressed with what Ottawa is doing this year...even if it's the boringest city on the planet. ;D

    The Spezza, Alfredsson and Heatly line is easily hockey. Reminds me of some of the old Pen's lines from the early 90s...
