    Kevin Weekes gave up four goals on 15 shots tonight. His bubble is about to burst, if it hasn't already.

    The third and fourth goals were gifts from the Rangers' defensemen, who thought it would be neat to throw clearing passes up the middle. Too bad they were behind the net.

    Surprisingly enought, it's never a good idea to throw a pass out in front of the net.

    He's the new Garth Snow of the NHL.

    Couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

    Don't say that. I have him in my pool. I need him to play well. :-[ I may drop him for Conklin now. I'll give him one more game before I jump to conclusions

    Dropping Weekes for Conklin?

    Geez, why don't you pick up Wade Belak?

    Beef, you're a good guy but you have serious goalie issues.

    Are you related to Mike Millbury? :)

    I wasn't completely serious there.

    I was able to load up early in the draft with guys like Hossa heatly Tanguay, and I lucked out in getting Voukun late in the draft (for some reason he alwys flys under the radar) and then I was left with the drecks after that. I'm in a 13 team draft, and I'd say most have three goalies, so dropping one for an upgrade isn't exactly easy.I'm just thinking Conklin might get his 2003-04 mojo back and be solid down the stretch splitting games with whoever. Praying more than hoping. My defence licks the underside of scrotum as well.

    Never say the NHL doesn't get it.

    The league fined--but did not suspend--Darcey Tucker $2,500 for ripping off New Jersey'sCam Janssen's helmet and hitting the Devils' forward with it.

    If you think Canadians are upset with Todd Bertuzzi making the Canadian Olympic team, wait 'til ya read this! http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/5199922
