Real NHL Shit to Talk About

[Toronto Maple Leafs]

Answer any of the following questions and be as ruthless as you'd like to be.

1. Are the Leafs terrible this year, or did they just succumb to injury problems in the last two games?

2. Do you still hate Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr?

3. Did you partake in any form of NHL boycotting (including ignoring this site because "down with the man!" man).

4. What team do you feel will win the cup this year?

5. Do you think the odd strip-dance scene in Slap Shot could happen in real life?

1. I wouldn't say they are terrible, Islanders game they showed a lot of fatigue, and just fell apart, bad team. Against the NYR they lost to a MUCH better team. People or just overreacting

2. I don't really care about them anymore, because unless there is a lockout, they don't really do much publicly

3. No

4. I like the Rangers despite their slow start, however the Sharks and Hawks look good early too

5. Possibly.

[New York Rangers]

1. The Leafs still struggle defensively, including the Phaneuf-Kostka pairing. Despite this, Goaltending has been decent.

2. I don't love them, but am starting to think Bettman's time as a commissioner may be coming to an end.

3. I did not. There are too many things you would have to avoid (certain restaurants, websites, etc...) and it just isn't worth it.

4. I picked the Sharks to finish atop the Western Standings this year, and they are definitely justifying why I did. For the cup, you have to look at the Penguins, Rangers, Sharks, and although they are having a slow start, the Kings. Due to the short season, a real contender could miss the playoffs, such as the Flyers if they don't pick up their game soon.

5. Who could you see as a possible stripper?
