The Panthers drop a converted touchdown _and_ a rouge on the Leafs and Jokinen and Horton combined for 3 points? That’s it? And Kid\_A gets a shutout in the deal?

What’s that I hear? It sounds like a very small violin playing a sad, sad song.

That was brutal last night. Everytime I switched over from CNN the Panthers had scored another goal. All there is to do now is wait for the fire sale.

WE WANT STAMKOS!!!  
{clap, clap, clap, clap, clap}

Come on Kings…come on Lightning.

Fantasy wise…at least my team is performing well.

I’m really hoping that Sundin continues to show his loyalty to Toronto and refuses to waive his no-trade clause.

You’re giving him too much credit, I’m pretty sure loyalty never crossed **Rysto** ’s mind.

Seriously though…they have to get him to waive the no-trade and get something for him. Edmonton’s first round pick via Anaheim would make me very happy. OTOH, I hate the thought of him playing for another team, he should retire as a Leaf.

Ideally, he pulls a Tkachuk and comes back in the summer. But does he really want to spend the end of his career on a last place, rebuilding team?

Thanks for keeping third warm for me, I’ll be back.

Heatley is back on Thursday and Alfredsson is back on Saturday. That should jump start Spezza. He’s been out there with the likes of Randy Robataille and Chris Neil, which explains his decreased production lately.

If by “things” you mean the battle for second place, then yeah, things are pretty interesting. 🙂

I got straight up REAMED tonight, easily the most disappointing night of the season for me.

If I thought there was any hope of not ending up last, it evaporated with the loss of Brindy tonight. Damn it. He’s out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. That puts me at 5 on IR or DTD. Puck!

If you have Jack Johnson, Dustin Brown, and Anze Kopitar, then I think you should be aware they may be on the IR for mental breakdowns after seeing them in action…[here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=455882)

My Bluesfan team is staying healthy (where is that wood to knock on) and creeping up in the standings…if only they would do it in real life. How can they lose 5-1 to the Kings???

I was all excited to see that the Sharks got a shutout today, and then I see that Brian freaking Boucher was in net for it. :smack:

Hey, there’s that violin again…

Yup, I’m still suckin’ pretty bad this year. . . Am I missing something, or is my roster just ‘locked’ and I’m stuck with the hand I’m dealt? Maybe my lack of points is based of my lack of knowledge of hockey pools. . .
