I still think an Islanders/Rangers at Yankee or Shea would be the best

As a diehard Rangers fan, that would be unreal Sean! I'm all for it!
I watched all of the Outdoor Classic yesterday & loved every minute of it. It was too bad it had to snow as much as it did & yes they did have some minor troubles with the ice, but overall i thought it went over extremely well. The game itself was pretty good, I was hoping the hometown Sabres could get the win though. And even know i knew it wouldn't happen, i was hoping maybe we could see George Laraque/Andre Peters at center ice in front of 72,000 people! I'm all for turning this into an annual event.

Of the 71, 000 spectators, how many do you think came from Ontario?

OK, I know many of you here are opposed to the shootout to decide games in the NHL, and I'm leaning towards that, but you cannot deny the excitement and jaw-dropping factor that is involved. Take a look at this, the top ten best shootout goals from the 2005-06 season:

shootouts still suck, and i'm worried that the more the press gets behind it, and loves it, the bigger the chance of the shootouts ending up in the playoffs..shootouts should be used only in video games, and even then...they suck

That's six shutouts for Luongo now. :thumb:
Now, we all know that unless the Canucks get some players who can score, they will not be serious Cup contenders. However, it's amusing to watch them do so well with a great goalie and an IHL roster. Of course, I guess they aren't too far behind most other teams since, IMO, about 70%to 80% of NHL players aren't very good hockey players. I am a tall, skinny recreational hockey player and I'm convinced that I could score more goals than Trevor Linden, Jeff Cowan, Isbister in the run of a season. :rambo:

I know we already knew this, but here's another example of just how deep the problem is in Toronto:

Woohoo, Flames win again! Iggy with another 3 point night as per usual. 5 wins in a row and they're 12-1-4 in their last 17 games. This team is on one hell of a roll. I just hope they can keep it up for the rest of the season.
