Gagner, Cogliano, and Nilsson.

Wow. These kids are playing like seasoned vets as of late. The only reason the oilers are even making a late season push for that #8 seed is these kids. No, the Oilers won't get that 8th seed, but every point counts. Why? 'cause every move in the standings will give Anaheim a higher or lower pick in this years upcoming entry draft.

This coupled with the fact... Read More »

Anyone out there sick of hearing about the leafs on all the sports channels, internet blogs, and radio shows? I personally am, and I have developed a hatred for the leafs. Although the Maple Leafs are the centre of the hockey world, they are not the centre of MY hockey world. I think it is unfair that every Saturday night that I sit down to watch HNIC, The leafs play the first game every single... Read More »
