But he is solidly in 3rd   

Actually tied for second and it may look like its going to stay that way.  What an embarrassment.   :icon_thumbsdown:

OK, once again the point has been missed. Make sure you pay attention this time.

Splattering the home team all over the front page of the local paper is fine and to be expected. It helps sell papers, sports fans like it, etc. I have no problem there. I like it myself.

What's funny is how they portray a 3-2 victory vs Anaheim in December that ended a 3-game losing streak as some monumental event. 'IT'S OVER!' sounds like the headline you use at the end of a war. 'IT'S OVER!' is a headline you use for a game or event that actually has significance. So, it's not the fact that they used a large image, it's the message. If that paper had instead said 'LEAFS END STREAK' or 'SUPER KIDS!' or something like that, I wouldn't have even mentioned it.

Maybe I've gone over your head a bit on this one. Sorry 'bout that. 

I think you should send your complaints to the Sun.  They've obviously got you all excited or upset about their headlines because they are in the business of selling newspapers and putting something to catch peoples attention to purchase them is their intention.  Good luck and just so you know about my thoughts on this issue....IT'S OVER. 

Quinn actually let it out of the bag the other night that it is in fact his groin.

Ya he was going to play the last game but they took him out for precautionary so he doesn't injury it anymore.  He's expected to be fine for Saturday.  But if not, I'm not any less confident with Tellqvist playing, he's been pretty good but he'd have to play amazing this Saturday.

I just find it hilarious that they use a huge headline like 'IT'S OVER!' to describe a measely 3-game losing streak in December. Total exaggeration.

The Sun chain of papers across Canada just sucks in general.  I remember a while back they said the reading level of the Sun was at a grade 4 level while the Ottawa Citizen was grade 8.  Nothing like big pictures and flashy headlines to catch someones attention.  Unfortunately this is one of our sources of information.

Of course I didn't mean you.

I was merely making a comment about the board which no individual should take as a commentary on themselves, but feel free to apply generally to everyone else.

Of course that is going to happen.  Anytime you have a group of people as large as these hockey forums are, there is always going to be a people in that group that will say this needs to happen or so and so needs to be traded.  It happens on every board and in every sport. 

After my experience earlier this year, I would never do anything other than call a mortgage broker.  I sat down with them for about 15 minutes, gave them some information, and they called a few days later with a list of variable and fixed rate options (as well as some alternative lending solutions) from dozens of sources.  Much better than dealing with a bank directly.  If you're interested, PM me and I'll tell you which company I used and which rep I dealt with (she was great).

EDIT:  Oh yeah, the important part:  They got me a rate over a half-point lower than the posted rates at any bank, including ING Direct.

Yes Hatch is right, go with a mortgage broker when trying to score a good mortgage.

Tough break, stupid rule.  The league either has to get rid of the rule or apply it to everyone like I said before when Gretz and Doan got off.

Which series was this? I remember (in the first round) he called the Bruins-Habs series and he was great in that. Cuthbert called the Canucks-Flames and Cole called the Leafs-Senators series.

Your right, it was the Habs series.  It must of been more then a couple of years ago.  :icon_duh:

Let's say it was.

Then why don't they call everything? Especially everything that is in clear view?

Because ref's are human too, they aren't programmed machines and sometimes they make mistakes. 

Yes there was a few missed calls in the game but I believe that last trip was a fair call, Antropov was basically tackled at the knees and was tripped over and Rivet didn't touch the puck.  To me that is clearly tripping.

I'm still not sure why the Habs goal was disallowed.  The ref seemed to be way out of position when he called it off because he was skating towards the net so his view was not good.  Thats the only reason I can think of, otherwise it was just a bad call and should have stood a goal or someone should have been penalized.  Either the goalie was interfered with like the ref said and the Habs player should have got a penalty (not the right call), or Kronwall should have been sent off for holding(should have been the right call).

Like I said, they are human and we still don't like Kerry Fraser! 

That was a brutal game.  I don't think they did one thing right.  It looks like that extra day off put them to sleep.  Oh well, time to bounce back; two big games back to back.
