Man it's weird to see them with a goalie who can actually make a save.

Anyone catch Bryzgalov's media scrum after the game? He tells everyone that he has no confidence in himself, that he can't stop a puck if he tried. 8 more years Philly!

Yeah....thats a bit of an odd one. Now the Jets giving up 8 I can believe but Bryz should not be letting in that many goals

Bobrovsky let in the first five.

I knew Bobrovsky started it, but I didn't know he let in so many. Still ridiculous

Wow Edmonton's 1st line looks like the new Taves/Towes/Kane line for scary potential. Just imagine if they could get a legit goalie?

Detroit has sucked the big one over the last week or so man what a turn around it's like we lost a lot of confidence since the blow out to the Capitals. Dallas/Pittsburgh/Edmonton I think have been the best teams so far Ottawa is starting to turn it around but I don't think they are going to be that good come Christmas time they still need some help on defense

who is Taves?

Detroit certainly has been awful lately, but we just locked up Kronwall for 7 years for a good price so all is not lost

Taves and Toews have been scary good together.

Who is Taves? And who is Towes? I thought I knew about all the NHL players...

Towes has been buried in the minors the whole year due to his offseason weight gain.

Right now i'm pretty happy with Dubnyk being our goalie of the future. We've brought him along slowly but he looked great at the end of last year and he's kept that play up.

He's got "potential" no doubting that but I don't think they are going to be contenders....yet I think they are 2-3 years away from being a top team in the West. Lets face it the Wings look like we are cooling off a bit and who knows about the rest.

Ya we're still a couple years away, but look out in couple years. We're already set up front, we're solid in net and we've got a bunch of great young defenseman on their way. If we can pick up someone like Matt Carle, Dennis Wideman, Brett Clarke, Johnny Boychuk or in my wildest dreams Ryan Suter this summer to sure up our backend we could be set.

So Raffi Torres....

WTF was he thinking?

Hmmm, I probably should've started Josh Harding in fantasy tonight.

Yup, he was amazing tonight.

Backstrom saved the Caps tonight, 2 huge goals.

Not racist, just incredibly shortsighted and stupid.

Yeah, none too happy about Harding's personal demolition of us for two straight games. We suck right now

Yes, I have to say I'm enjoying the lockout since I'm going to get a lot more Wild games which instead would be Bucks games.

Figured I'd pick up Harding since I had Lindback and he's rarely going to play as long as Rinne is there and Backstrom has been injury prone the last couple years and Harding is pretty good.

Also, what's up with all the no shows at the game tonight? ESPN says it was a sellout but there were tons of empty seats.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Torres is getting ripped for that? It's Halloween, I don't see anything racist about dressing up as someone famous?
