What channel is that on here in the states?
The O channel?"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

I don't know about that...
But I can tell you that the coverage for the juniors bumps almost ALL other programming from the sports channels.
It is great hockey.
The Canadians aren't that much better, they just want it more.
It is inspiring to watch.sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment

Did anyone see this? Stefan will NEVER live this down, unreal....
The Worst Hockey Play You Will Ever See
January 4th, 2007. The Stars lead the Oilers 5-4 with about 10 seconds left in third period. The Oilers have their goalie pulled and Dallas forward Patrick Stefan gets a clearcut breakaway from the blueline on an empty net. The rest is now hockey history.
"That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Patrick Stefan, you should be embarrassed for what you just did. That does not belong in the National Hockey League"

Hilarious story...I wish I could find it.
The Maple Leafs are about to be all but removed from Lord Stanley's Mug!!!
They have to remove the ring for new cup winners. I think there is only one Leafs Cup left on the Treasured trophy!
Oh...such sweet justice. Well Bettman, good work.
Oh BTW, The Canucks will win by 2 on Saturday...

Not entirely accurate, but I can understand your glee....
When I went to the Leafs/Pens game on the 29th, when the game was finishing up with the Pens winning 4-1, the crowd was chanting "67"...
Looks like the ring that's been taken off is for the years 1941-53, and the Leafs had 6 championships during those years.... They only have 4 championships left on the Cup....
"And for the Maple Leafs, losing the latest ring removed six championships from the Cup. Only four of Toronto's 13 Cup wins remain on the trophy, reinforcing the club's 40-year drought to long-suffering fans."Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

TORONTO (CP) - It's unusual to single out the winning goalie for praise in a 6-1 rout, but the Vancouver Canucks may not have been in a position to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs without a 13-save effort from all-star Roberto Luongo in the first period.
"It could have been 3-0 Toronto at that point," said Canucks captain Markus Naslund. "That's what you want from a star goaltender. He makes the saves when he needs to. That's why we're winning games."
Luongo, the starting goalie for the Western Conference in the Jan. 24 all-star game, stopped 35 of 36 shots and was named the game's first star.
"I knew they were going to come out strong and I was able to make a few big saves early," said Luongo. "Luckily we escaped with the 1-1 tie after the first period and I think we were able to build confidence after that."

The Canucks blew it open with five straight goals, four of them in the third period to break open a close affair. Daniel Sedin had a goal and three assists while Naslund, Mattias Ohlund, Sami Salo, Taylor Pyatt and Trevor Linden also scored for the Canucks (25-19-1), who got their first five goals all on the power play.
Goaltending and special teams were the difference in this game, Vancouver going 5-for-10 with the man advantage while Toronto was 0-for-8.
Bates Battaglia had the lone reply for the Leafs (20-20-6), who heard the boos from the 19,608 fans at Air Canada Centre. Most of the ire was directed at Andrew Raycroft, the Leafs goalie really getting it from the crowd late in the game. The crowd chanted his name in mockery and gave him the Bronx cheer when he stopped the puck.
"It's heartbreaking," said Leafs captain Mats Sundin, who was so disappointed in the fan's reaction to Raycroft he was driven to use expletives. "For a guy that's played his heart out, and in my opinion, had a pretty . solid first half of the season . They had five of their goals on the power play, a 5-on-3 goal, and our specialty teams, our power play, was terrible. To me, that was the big difference."
Raycroft, who stopped 15 of 21 shots, took it in stride.
"That's just the way it is," he said. "(Fans) pay pretty good money to come watch us play, and if we don't perform, they can boo all they want. And I'm obviously the main target. I understand that, and it's cool with me."
The fans had nothing to complain early on as the Leafs came out of the gates on fire and outshot the Canucks 14-3 in the first period. But thanks to a wall named Luongo, the Canucks went to the dressing room tied 1-1.
"I think the three-hour time difference, it took us a little time to get used to it," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said of his team's slow start. "We didn't practice yesterday, we travelled the whole day. I really thought after the second period we played better and executed better.
"The first period was all about Luongo," added Vigneault. "He kept us in it and we found a way to win this game."
Vancouver opened the scoring on only its second shot of the game, Ohlund beating Raycroft glove side with a nice one-timer from the slot at 8:46 after set-up from Daniel Sedin on a Canucks power play, a goal that got the significant Canucks contingent in the crowd to its feet.
Battaglia tied it on a strange one with 6:29 to go in the opening period, the Leafs forward flubbing a shot from in-close bounced over Luongo and in.
Daniel Sedin put Vancouver back up a goal 39 seconds into the second period, ripping a wrist shot from the high slot top corner over Raycroft's glove side, again on the power play. The Canucks had two goals on only four shots on goal, not doing much for Raycroft's shaky status with Leaf fans.
The back-breaker came 4:39 into the third period with the Canucks on a 5-on-3 power play, Linden banging in a rebound to give Vancouver a 3-1 lead. The Leafs were down two men because Battaglia got an unsportsmanlike penalty for apparently yapping too much after the original hooking call on Tomas Kaberle although the Leafs said Battaglia didn't say a word.
With the crowd still unsettled and angry at the referees, Pyatt broke in alone 13 seconds later and beat Raycroft five-hole for a power-play goal, and it was lights out for the Leafs at 4-1.
Salo made it 5-1 with his shot from the point bounced in off Raycroft's glove, one the Leafs goalie should have had. Nalsund walked in alone and deked out Raycroft at 17:29 to make it a rout at 6-1.sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment
