a close loss by a goal in regulation with the Kids playing well is all I ask.

 

[Highlander]

Nylander and Kappy with a hat trick each only to be eclipsed by Ovechkin scoring 7

It's the unstoppable force against the easily moved object.

The best home team against one of the worst road teams.

The best GF/G vs the 24th GA/G

The 3rd best GA/G vs the 28th GF/G

I expect a 6-0 Leafs win.

Exactly.  The Caps are a mirage.  We'll win on them so much, we'll get tired of winning.

Bernier with the shutout.

It's hard to get out hopes up even if it's for losing. The Leafs love to disappoint. I find my indifference is working for me this year.

 

[Highlander]

I'm indifferent to your indifference

 

[Zee]

Winnik!!!

Kapanen-Nylander-Hyman

I'm not going to lie, reading that gave me a little tingle.

So which one of these bums scores their first goal first?

 

[LuncheonMeat]

I only saw about a third of the last game, but the guy who impressed me the most in my limited viewing was Kapanen. My money is on him for his first.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

So which one of these bums scores their first goal first?

I'm saying Soshnikov tonight (Kadri set-up), Nylander and Kapanen both score tomorrow night (mostly because I can't watch tonight's game).

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

So which one of these bums scores their first goal first?

You mean like when Jiri Tlusty's bum did?

 

[Bullfrog]

So which one of these bums scores their first goal first?

Soshnikov is my pick too.

 

[Highlander]

Hat tricks and Champagne for everyone!

 

[Kin]

I think it'll be Hyman. Off some trashy rebound after Kapanen or Nylander does something pretty.

 

[Highlander]

That means it would be a "Bustahyman". Sorry Busta could not resist.
