- Senet1 : AK46 starting to throw his weight around and shooting the puck which shich mean he will start scoring scoes soon/
- Senet1 : /the Leafs beat the bruins in OT. Horah for the leafs.
- Senet1 : The guys never quit the entire game so far.
- Senet1 : Since Cammy went down he has to be considered our most valuable offensive player on the team.
- Senet1 : You know the more we get to see Gomez the more you start to wonder if his salary is all that bad. He skates, with speed, checks and it seems like he controls the play every time he is on the ice. You have to admit, most of our offence gets started by his line. He has sure outplayed Vinny tonight so far.
- Senet1 : Startinh to like Darche he goes to the net and gets the rebounds. Hey maybe he is our missing power forward?
- Senet1 : Plek on the bench for the second period.
- Senet1 : Plek is the only top 6 forward that has not been hurt. Can't believe this, I am hoping he just got a knee in the groin and did not pull and tear anything>?????
- Senet1 : Oh Oh Plek hurt, hope not seriously, looks like a knee or a groin.
- Senet1 : It would appear if we score 4 goals we win most games.
- Senet1 : One thing about athletes, they do rehab under professional around the clock care, and lets face it where you and I do it until the knee feels like we can function they continue to build those muscles up around that knee for 12 months of the year. Also because of that when they do get injuried there injury many times is not as bad. Having said they they put their knees under a lot more strain than we do too.
- Senet1 : Goalie I tend to agree if Cammy cannot come back 100% then he should wait until September. Unless of course we beat Washington and Pittsburg, then maybe he might want to come back fo the finals. LOL
- goalie : I too had an MCL operation in Edmonton and at the time I was told that it was not as serious as an ACL. However, in the past 5 years since my operation for me; my knee never regained full strenght (I'd say about 60 - 70%)and unfortunately my doc says the pain I am now experiencing means I'll need a second operation and that is only from the strain of day to day activities as my hockey days are long over. Unless Caammie is 95% or better I'd let him rehab until next Sept. Let's face it , we'r
- goalie : The other day I commented (under the name of Stevehab) on how Latandresse is now in Minnie, We should not however, neglect (as I did) to state that Pouliot has played quite well (play in front of and around the opposition's net, backchecking)and has more than done his job.
- Mats Naslund : Boone over at HI/O put up a really interesting view of our playoff race. We have the easiest remaining sched of the all teams only 40% have winning records. Take a look.
- Senet1 : Just on the internet, it said he did not need surgery? Why did he have surgery?
- rocky : Where did you get your info?
- rocky : That is way better than an acl tear with surgery. He needs to take his time and fully recover as we have him signed to a long term deal.
- Senet1 : With the MCL you can build up the muscles around the knee to support it if he did not have surgery then they must feel it was not totally severed, maybe just stretched badly?? He did say he was still in pain.
- Senet1 : The other good thing is he did not have to have surgery but one thing the report that I read said was he already wears a brace on the left knee and now will wear one onf the right knee too.
- rocky : GOOD NEWS! The report I just read says that the injury is officially listed as MCL tear. That is not NEARLY as bad as tearing the ACL from all the reading I have done on knee injuries. Possibly not a career ender THANK GOD!
- Senet1 : Me too talk to you in a while
- rocky : I am going to check it out and will update you if I find out anything.
- Senet1 : I don't know, I understood he was skating is that right?
- Senet1 : Yes it seems like every good player we get he gets injuried. We are due to have some better luck.
- rocky : How to find out his progress?
- rocky : Pavel Bure had the same injury and it effectively ended his career. This s&cks so bad for us man. Totally cursed the last few years with our star players.
- Senet1 : My knee is now after 30 years bent out of shape and there really is no joint anymore.
- rocky : Take a look some time, really a low blow.
- Senet1 : I have not had the chance to review the hit.
- rocky : The strength just seems to never come back the same way. I live with pain all the time as well brother.
- Senet1 : I have had one too and my knee was never the same and I had the operation performed by Dr. Walsh out of the Wesley centre in TO. He also operated on Rich Martin's knee of the sabres. I have had nothing but pain for 30 years. Knee replacement is in my future.
- rocky : I looked at that hit on Cammalari again and it ticks me off. A really lousy cheapshot.
- rocky : You are right about sitting Cammalari. Those tears are murder as I have had one. I don't know how anyone can be the same player after that.
- Senet1 : Okay Rocky I will let you get the last word, I thought me moved on.

Say what you want about bob, this guy will always be a classy man in my books.

One of the classiest gentlemen in all of professional sports.

Thinking of forming my own charity. The Nigelski Memorial Fund. 50% of all revenue will go towards getting cancers like Kovalev traded, via secret payoffs to other team owners, so they’ll take him and any future disturbances off our hands. The other 50% will go for administration costs, and to provide me with a better lifestyle. One befitting the behind the scenes man who’ll make it all happen. Free boat tethers to the first 100 donators.
Those interested in donating should have their heads examined.
Still want to help? Call 1-800-782-5377.

Nigelski.
Smarten up……….
This is intended to be a serious topic here.
Why don’t you show a little class…………..
May 3, 2007 pm31 10:13 am
I am serious. The last thing I’d want to do is hurt anyones feelings. My point is, there are tonnes of charities already dealing with any number of worthy causes. I could create my own charity for drug abusers or suicidal thinkers. Why? My brother died of a heroin OD, and my dad killed himself. I don’t have the Gainey fame to back me, so it would likely fall on deaf ears.
Why didn’t I make such a charity, regardless? Because there are already thousands of Foundations that deal with these things. Worthy and trusted organizations where my donations would get to those in need of the money. When we start forming charities that have no real focus, the money gets diverted and loses its umph. I also have no need to aggrandize my own name in such a manner.
Sheena’s Place here in Toronto was named after Sheena, a woman who died from an eating disorder All proceeds fund a house where women with these issues can go to get help. Places such as these are the backbone of the kind of necessary work to be done in our society.
A charity for art, education and the environment doesn’t exactly inspire me. Such vague and elusive goal oriented charities only serve to take the cash away from more altruistic and far more necessary foundations. Like the Heart and Stroke Foundation as one example.
I’d have been far more impressed with a public donation to the Cancer Society(in the memory of his deceased wife), coupled with an effort to increase public awareness about boating safety. Through government advertisements, lectures, or such.
All too often, million dollar current and former athletes form charities in their own name, and ask their fans to support their causes. The irony is, they have the money to effect real change more than any thousand of us.
Additionally, special interest groups get their hands on a staggering amount of charity funds. Especially in the fields this charity has been designed to support. There is no knowing if that will be the case, but as I said, there are plenty of established charities that accomplish the same goals as set out by the Gainey foundation; and they have proven track records of success.
It’s self serving, in my mind. If that’s classless, than I guess I am.

Yo nigelski,don’t fret man,we live in a self-serving society ,every-one is guilty of it and that’s why other people’s from other countries try and catch us and use us for the video decapitation of the day,lol. And I dare say it is self serving of anyone who disagrees with another’s viewpoint or humor on a Blog site,something short ,power hungry ,control freaks tend to try and do,screw them ,they need to grow up and get real and relax ,heck we’re heading into another beautiful Canadian summer !” even though our useless hockey team sucks and missed the play-offs and got beat by the Maple leafs on the last game of the year for a play off shot, which we would of crashed and burned in, lol”Oh, by the way, my old man did the same,but in front of my brother and sister,which caused lots of future problems for my family as well,so message to suicide seekers,who are you trying to hurt?Re -visit your thoughts and seek help,if not for yourself do it for others !!!
May 5, 2007 pm31 12:15 am
Well,well,well…..another team of big pro hockey players destroys the smaller team”CanuckleHeads” ,suprize,suprize,suprize !!!So sorry if I offend any one by saying this,but I have too cause I loves my Hockey team”Habs”;if any Habs fan hasn’t figured out by now a small player or even worse a group of small hockey players ,in most cases ,has no business in the N.H.L.,THEN DO ME A FAVOR AND STAND ON SOME TRAIN TRACKS UNTILL YOU ARE NO MORE, STUPID !!!

As early as October I predicted in my head, and quite possibly also in this blog, that the finals this year would be Anaheim vs Buffalo. It looks like it might happen. What are your thoughts about this?
I predict:
1.Anaheim
2.Buffalo
3.Detroit
4.Ottawa
May 8, 2007 pm31 7:13 am
eah cuz, the sabres are really struggling with they’re small players, canucks lost because you can only ride a great goaltender so far. THeyre team isn’t all that good, Luongo is the ONLY reason they even made the playoffs.
May 8, 2007 pm31 9:44 am
habs4ever,lets just see how the small sabers do against theBIG AND TOUGH SENS, OTTAWA in 6 and buffalo in hospital.If you like small guys in sports you can watch other sports like : Golf, Curling,Baseball,Bowling and midget wrestling !!!LOL.

Shows really how uneducated you are..
February 2, 2008 pm31 7:55 pm
dear Nigelski.
first of all im sorry to hear about your father & brother, however you have to understand that most charities are a business, ie: WWF, cwf, unicef etc…
i’m not rich however i have donated to several charities in my life with regret & some without. at least with the GAINEY FOUNDATION you can trust that Mr. Bob Gainey & family A: dont need the money, B: would never screw you for a dollar, C: you can put a name on the charity (who you can give hell too, if they do).
Bottom line is you need a famous name to start a chairty or you need alot of money to market it in wich case it’s usually a business that makes alot of money in the name of that charity.
sincerley: sam
GAINEY FOUNDATION donator
GO HABS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: Mr. Gainey if this foundation is a scam, shame on your name.. but I know it cant be, because i still believe in good people & helping them.
PSS: All good father’s need to show support for GUY LAFLUER !! because if, I understand the news & situation I would protect my son too!!!
NO MATTER WHAT
(dont have a son, but I have a daughter 15 months old daughter)
February 2, 2008 pm31 8:02 pm

PS. you and Guy C. (cant spell his last name/ the coach) have done an amazing job!!
