Trust me, I won't shed a tear over the departure of MacLean!
I find it odd that the Habs haven't played the Sens in a long while! In fact, have we even played outside the preseason?

No, no regular season games between them yet. It's a weird schedule for sure. I think the Sens have already finished with several teams already.

I loathe the man but that is a head scratcher for sure... It's not like the Sens were going nowhere, with plenty of hockey still left to play.

I'm torn about this one. First of all, the guy won the Jack Adams two years ago and now he's crap? I don't think so. I think he was preaching a style of play (puck possession and high pressure) that the players simply weren't capable of playing. While not the slowest team in the league, I don't think they were fast enough or skilled enough to pull it off. A few of the scorers had gone stone cold and that meant losses that could have been wins. OTOH, some of his quotes were beyond stupid - almost as dumb as good old John Paddock. I'll be interested to see if anyone picks him up this year - assuming that a domino effect kicks in (think Todd MacLellan, Dallas Eakins, etc.).
So assistant Dave Cameron takes over but don't be surprised if Luke Richardson (Binghamton Sens) takes over in a couple of years. He's committed to staying until his daughter graduates from college in Northern New York. He's been doing a great job with the kids and management is very high on him.

It's funny how often the coaches take the fall. Looked to me like they'd lost a lot of close games lately. Personally, I think he's a bit of a dick too but I don't think this was right.
16 losses, 12 by 1 goal.
Speaking from personal experience, you are adored when your team is winning but watch for the knives if they're not.

Some of those recent one goal losses were blown leads in the third period. The most recent being the game against the Pens when they played well enough to get at least a point, but had a total defensive breakdown with less than 2 minutes left in the third period and lost by a goal. If you saw the highlight, Christian Ehrhoff had enough time to tee it up, check the wind with some blades of grass, take a practice swing and then roof it with a slapper from the dot. Brutal.

Hey, believe me Birdy, it ain't easy cheering for this team.
In retrospect, they may have been playing to get the coach fired too. It's been known to happen. The secret code is: "He lost the room."

Ouch....that's the Isles I am used to seeing since '94
Really....blowing another 3 goal lead....
While I acknowledge that the Isles are missing three blueliners, including arguably their 2 best....still, not cool.
Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
Two more points for Toronto last night. Reimer played an incredible game with 41 saves. Only 5 points back from Detroit now. We're creeping our way up...
You're right behind us now... Slow week for the Habs. They either play 6 games in 9 nights, or 2 games in 6 nights. Crazy schedule!

The Leafs are on the Road from Dec. 21 to Jan. 3 to make room at the ACC for the World Juniors. It looks like the Habs have a similar schedule for the same reason. Long road trips can change everything.
Mumps???!!!! Are you effing kidding me?

Sens lost again last night. Maybe it wasn't the coach's fault after all.

"YESSONGS" hockey jersey is progressing nicely - it will be based on a Minnesota Wild 3rd jersey, 12" Roger Dean Yes logo as the team logo, and number 73, (as in 1973)
Will post a pic when done with that one, the jersey and patch are in transit

Another win for the Leafs last night, against the Red Wings no less.
Facing the LA Kings today I was a bit concerned, but then I looked at the standings and LA doesn't appear to be doing very well this season. They're actually 2 points behind the Leafs. What gives? I don't really follow the Western teams that much but I thought LA was one of the top teams.
Kings are playing better from what I've read. They always seem to pour it on in the 2nd half of season. Just like the Rangers The latter of which I'm crossing my fingers for though we've definitely been playing much better lately. Spanked the Canucks last night

The Canucks have had a really tough time of it lately. They lost to all the Eastern Canadian teams this past week.

Habs were very opportunistic in their 6-2 win over the Kings. That score definitely does not reflect the game. Kings were all over Montreal but Carey Price played his finest game of the season, imo... Never count the Kings out until you've won that 4th playoff game against them.
