But the Wild tied the game 6:58 into that one and then won it late. Martin...

Browse more photos » An anonymous comment over at my blog Bitter Leaf Fan raised the question of how exactly the Leafs arrived in their current mess. There’s not a single cause or easy explantion. This franchise has gone through three, maybe even four, different phases since 2000, however;...
Pretty impressive for the ol' bugger, who played almost 21 minutes against the Lightning despite the fact he's off to a pretty slow start this season. That one, however, gives him two in two games after he whacked an empty netter the length of the ice against the Leafs on Tuesday. (And, if you're really bored — or just a huge Nolan fan — you can see all 25 of his tallies from last season.)...

I am not a subscriber to the ESPN Insider service, but I did notice that they posted an article today that was titled "Wild Preparing for Fire Sale".

Jed Ortmeyer started the comeback with his first goal with the Sharks,...
Colorado wins the Stanley Cup! Detroit is the worst team ever! Alexander Ovechkin will score 200+ points! Sweet Jebus, people, grab a pint of Newcastle and take a deep breath. The season’s less than a week old and it seems like everyone’s already making all sorts of weird proclamations about their team and/or players. The most absurd of these things had to be whether Ovechkin would break...

We're pretty sure this list doesn't really prove anything, but we found it interesting ( Sorry, we're hockey geeks ).
