Leafs with massive hit after massive hit.Kadri smoked Gallagher twice, Komarov bowled over two habs with one hit, Franson crushed Prust, on and on it went...ohhhh the humanity.Best of all PK unsportsmanlike conduct for snow job on Reimer.

It was definitely time for Tambo to go when he let the team playing with 8 fucking defense and 2 centers for most of the season. That was genius. Guy was terrified to make a big trade apparently, and he did nothing to improve the team. We've got a stock of young talent, but if anything our veteran core is now far worse than it was when he came on.
However this is not going to go down well in Oil Country. Many, if not most Oilers fans are fucking sick of the club being run as retirement home for former players. Kevin Lowe should have fired himself, seeing that he was the GM before Tambo that managed one good Cup run but otherwise ran the team in to the cellar and made some terrible signings. So what does he do? He brings in MacT, who was chased out of town 5 years ago. Great idea. The media is already all over him.

Like I said, a couple of reporters were going for Lowe's throat:http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201...-the-hot-seat/
That sums it up pretty well. MacT was the coach for one season under Tambo and had been for 6-7 years prior. Lowe was the GM prior.
Agreed. The old boys club in EDM has got to stop. They need a fresh GM that doesn't have a distorted attachment to the players on the roster. They need to make significant moves and those might require moving a young player.
Don't they already have a game to make up for the snow storm, or is that one done with already?

I was reading about the firing of Tambelini and the hiring of Mactavish, and I though to myself...Why? What the Oilers need at this point is a total upper management change like Montreal did. They need fresh blood, people with a different look, and not related to the previous management to really make a change of culture...
This seems to be heading into more of the same type of thing...

One or both teams play every day from the 16th through to the 23rd, as well as the 25th and 27th (last day of the season). That leaves the 24th and 26th or a day after the season ends.
In Reimer we trust. Leafs only had 5 shots at the end of the second and went about 20 minutes without any.The fans actually cheered the 6th shot on net, was kinda funny, but otherwise boring game.People were chanting Reimer; he had at least 5 standing ovations, so nice to see people cheering again. Fifty two hits! priorities and all.I think Komarov killed that guy!
Nope, they stuck that at the end of the season.. they're going to have to find somewhere to put this one too. But still a smart move by the Bruins to cancel.

Ahh another glorious Nemo shutout. How is this guy not being mentioned for the Vezina?
Oh, and hahaha...

Drew Remenda, one of our SJ announcers, coined this position as the "Downward Desert Dog."

Feel bad for the upside down dude, he really doesn't want to cut dude apart with skates and that dipshit is too busy sitting there trying to draw a penalty(or not get called for one).
Every time I look at the standing it's crazy seeing Chicago still only has 3 regulation losses. Talk about being in every game.
And on the other side, Pens with Crosby, Neal, and Malkin missing time. That's not a normal team, that's an all star game line. Motherfuckers better get healthy for the playoffs. At least Crosby/Neal/Paul Martin skated today.

My only fear is that they might run out of steam come playoffs time, while other teams get really hot (like the Kings).
