I don't think Leafs were interested in Vanek, seeing as how they are completely filled in the Wingers....If interested they would've went for Pominville last season and even then Nonis probably wasn't interested.

And well, Philly is.... Just being Philly.

I'd just like to point out that Cam Talbot, a fucking rookie who just played his third NHL game, now has better stats than Lundvquist.

Honestly, I love the King, but Talbot is challenging his role in New York at this point.

This is going to sound petty, but I hope Shanny and Co. come down on Lecavalier for his piece of work on Vatanen before Palmieri's second goal in the 3rd.

A slash under the hands, a high stick, and then - to top it off! - he slams his head into the glass with his left hand. There's no room for that in hockey at all.

And what sucks about Selanne's injury is that I have tickets to see him (and the Ducks, I guess :P) play in Buffalo Saturday. D:
