It's almost NHL season again *sigh*...I think it's going to be a very long season for me. My early prediction for the Cup is Pittsburgh. I think that adding Phil Kessel just gives them another very scary offensive threat capable of racking up 90+ points. If Crosby can stay healthy and Fleury can perform strongly, they will be near unbeatable.

The Maple Leafs have hit some form under messiah Mike Babcock. Watched the game against Colorado yesterday, totally outplayed them in 5 - 1 win.

from being 2-7-2 they now 6 - 9 - 4.. only narrowly lost a couple too.

Any Leafs fans here? young gun Willie Nylander in the 2's is basically Jesse Hogan.

GO LEAFS!

Massive Leafs fan. I've been very impressed with them this year and what Mike Babcock has managed to achieve in such a short period of time. They're finally playing as a team, and are seeing the benefits of it.

Nylander looks the goods...his hands are unbelievably quick.

I don't think playoffs are in the equation this year, but it's nice to see competitive efforts, and for once having a few decent prospects. I can't recall the last good player that the Leafs drafted and developed.

Nice to have a fellow Leafs fan around!

 

Meh Avs can't stop allowing teams to have 90 shots on goal a game. Berra has had some great games but we won't make playoffs again this year Roy and Dakic have to be on shakey ground.

It's a long season and teams can suddenly come back into it with a streak of wins ... my Canucks are going the other way at the moment after having a reasonable start to the season.

I always look at it in terms of wins back or wins in front ... the Maple Leafs are less than 2 wins back from a playoff spot whilst the Avs are in a similar position. String 3 or 4 wins together and the thinking changes.

Having said all that the Rangers, Montreal, Dallas & St Louis are all playing really well ... the Sharks & Kings are stringing some wins together as well. It's too early to call but the half way mark does give us a much clearer picture. Washington & Pittsburgh are 2 more teams to watch out for.

Macca come on, thrashed the Habs but they had so many shots it was ridiculous. We really are struggling team yet have had so much early round talent... Hhhmmm who does that remind me of?!

ha ha ... just trying to keep the hope alive Cards

Quite seriously, I have seen any number of teams in all sorts of sports get on a run ... we all have.

I'd agree a team needs a good dose of talent to win the whole thing ... the best teams stand out but 16 teams do get into the playoffs. Think it was just a couple/few years ago where a stack of the lower seeded teams kept winning their playoff series' as well. Sometimes just getting in the playoffs can mean a real opportunity.

At this early stage the Stanley cup will be won by one of about 8-10 teams ... the Blackhawks are also hovering and the Red Wings are thereabouts as well. I can see the Canucks perhaps scraping in but we're no real threat.

The Avs had a great run at doing just that 3 seasons ago... Lost in first rnd of the playoffs and have not made it since. Something is seriously lacking and Roy is a nut bag.

 

Macca I know it is the end of a long road trip but f me. Smashed 7-4. Down 3-0 in the first. Starting to really smell at the Avs. As I said Roy and Sakic may be gawnski before/at the end of the season if this doesn't turn around.

You've convinced me ... ah well. there's other sports.

I'm more about the comp with ice hockey, NBA & MLB. I prefer to watch the stars and big match-ups. Soccer the same. The NFL as well really but I'm more team orientated with the Packers being a favourite.

Teams like the Blackhawks and Red Wings seem to do just enough to make the playoffs and back themselves once they are there.

Macca your Canuckleheads got it done late against my Blackhawks today. I'll be copping [censored] from a Canucks mate this week.

The regular season is all about getting enough points to get into the final 16

Vancouver have been good enough to make the playoffs in the recent past but have been abysmal once making it.

To be perfectly honest, I don't take it too seriously but enjoy watching the games ... and playoff hockey is fabulous.

awesome GTG ! Does this mean we can have a TML discussion thread on here? :)

About time! He's been brutal for a long time now. Hoping that Sparks can give us something!

A shutout will do! He became the first Maple Leaf in history to get a shutout on debut. Well done!

Sparks seems like a good dude, starting today against the Jets. Bernier down to the Marlies.

Didn't go as well as you would have hoped against the Jets, though the team in front of him did him no favours. 

It would be a hard life being a Maple Leafs goalie.

saw the highlight v blues yesterday, sparks was excellent.

meanwhile Bernier has 2 shutouts at the Marlies all praise babcock!

Are you across these Stamkos rumours GTG? Leafs v Bolts tomorrow, the crowd should warm to him like the Cats & Dangerfield..

I like what I'm hearing so far. There has long been talk of him one day coming to the Leafs, so hopefully it comes to fruition. It's been a while since we've had a real star player. Sundin was probably the last one.

Word is that Bernier is going to get the start against Tampa, with Sparks to be backup. Looks like Sparks will be sent back to the AHL when Reimer returns. I wouldn't be surprised to see Reimer traded at the deadline.

Kessel? Bernier shut out the Kings, Leafs 10 - 6 - 5 since Nov. Komarov continues to light it up. go Leafs!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, 3Dee...we're still tied for last in the league on points, and our current goaltending stocks do not inspire a great deal of confidence. I'm happy that we're competitive in most games and that a few players (like Leo) seem to be thriving under Babcock, but I think we'll be down near the bottom for the rest of the season. 

I'm okay with that though...word is that Auston Matthews is a decent player, and if we can somehow add Stamkos as well we'll be in decent shape heading into next season.

Watched game yesterday against the Avs, started horribly but after 10mins they looked the goods. If they win again today that's a nice little streak heading to Xmas break. 

World Juniors start in next few days, look forward to seeing Nylander do some damage.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
