Thanks, but it's a useless win now.
New Jersey put out a hell of a comback from being down 2-0, scoring with 0.8 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime. But of course, the shoot-out fucks me over and the Islanders win.
I don't blame the Devils for not playing Brodeur, and frankly the Leafs shouldn't have put themselves in this rut to begin with. All the times where the Leafs blew big leads (*cough* 4-1 vs. Buffalo *cough*) have proved costly. Everyone is so quick to blame Raycroft for every goal, but he really can't do much with 4 guys in front of him. Whatever happens in the off-season, I surely hope GM John Ferguson Jr. is canned and/or has his testicles (if he's got any, and judging by his management it's an iffy call) pinned to a wall in Dundas Square.
Montreal has nothing to worry about Mark. They've just got to resign Souray, pick up another strong defenseman and possibly a good centre-man. They're packed with promising youth already up in Montreal (Kostitsyn brothers, Latandresse, Halak...), and judging by these Hamilton Bulldogs, there's plenty more on the way.
Lou Lamariello is a rat. He fired Claude Julien just so he could get his slimy name on the Stanley Cup, which they won't be winning. Three words Lou, Buffalo Fucking Sabres. Eat it, Joiezy bitch.
