Modano feeling like a kid again.

SO fucking ecstatic to have him on the team. I will be getting a Modano jersey. One of my favorite players EVER.

Detroit vs. Pittsburgh preseason game tomorrow at 7pm. A few guys being rested.

Looks like our starting lines will be:

Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi
Hudler-Modano-Cleary
Ritola-Helm-Eaves
Miller-Abdelkader-Downey

Stuart-Kindl
Ericsson-Salei
Meech-Lashoff

I don't know what exactly we're going to start out with.

Crosby, Malkin, and Orpick will all start. Jordan is still injured.

I expect Tangradi, Sterling, Letestu, Conner, Lovejoy, and Engelland to get minutes.

and the Laughs still suck.

Did you really expect competition for 8th place in the East this year?

On tsn.ca, there's a new interview/story everyday about how they're feeling hopeful about the new season, about how Burke is building a "truculent" team, or about how there are players literally fighting each other to get a spot on the team. How fucked up is that? They're basically doing everything that won't fly in the "new" NHL.

To top it all off, Dion Phaneuff is the captain...I used to like the guy, but I feel a bit uneasy about him being a Leaf, let alone being the captain. Still don't have a decent centre and goalscorer, as well.

Another painfully hilarious season for Laff Nation courtesy of Ron Wilson, Brian Burke, and the wonderful folks at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. Hell, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure whether the Leafs fall under the sport or entertainment sector.

how many hours till the game?

 

[Enron]

how many hours till the game?

5.75 hours.

On another note I just got called up for the Habs. Time to unseat Cary Price.

 

[blondu]

hope i won't sleep at that hour..

 

[Enron]

It's just pre-season.

 

[blondu]

well it's with them wings..new arena..i kinda missed this..too bad that i didn't found any streams yet

 

[Enron]

It may not be on streams, but check when the game time gets closer.

 

[Bjerknes]

No television stream for the game, but you can catch it on radio here.

5-1 Pens. Game misconducts. Orprick was trying to do what he does best by going after one of our player's knees, so Big Burt had to set him straight. Both GM's.

 

[Enron]

Has Tangradi been playing?

 

[Enron]

I found a live box. He is playing. And Letestu has 2 assists. NICE.

 

[MikeM]

I just want to see PK Subban again.

 

[Bjerknes]

I only caught the 97.1 stream in time for the last 30 minutes. No idea how certain players did. It's impossible to do so without watching, which sucks.

 

[blondu]

good result..

 

[Bjerknes]

Ehh, it's not about results in preseason unless some fringe players have secured a spot on the team. Since I didn't see the game I can't comment on that.

 

[Rollie]

These games don't mean much at all - and I didn't watch this one - but when I checked the box score I was happy to see Horton open the scoring, and Seguin grab an assist on the PP.

So much to atone for after the worst collapse in the history of professional sports.

Anyway, I'm ready for the season to start. These two should certainly help the Bruins this year.

 

[Bjerknes]

VERY interested to see Seguin. Pressure will be incredible, don't be surprised if he has a slow start.
