The Leafs are my team and I at the start of the season wasn't expecting much but they have certainly played better out of the gate than I thought. I think somewhere 6th-8th is a reasonable expectation. I hope anyway.

As for the Predators no they didn't add much in the offseason but they are one more year older, one more year experianced. And of course Voukun.... that first round playoff series in 2004 against the red wings really helped this team I think and then they added Paul Kariya to the mix. This team has been given time to grow with alot of the same players who started there in 1998-99 (their first season). Barry Trotz the coach has been there since day one so this is Nashville's time. I am so happy to see them undefeated. Its good for Nashville and the NHL overall. I do think eventually they will come down to eart a bit as do all teams but with this start all they gotta do practically is play .500 hockey from this point in and they basically are guaranteed a playoff spot... and with the way they have been playing they will play alot better than .500 hockey.

And it looks like the STREAK is over for the Predators. Columbus beat them tonight 3-2, hading the Pred's their first loss of the season.

Of ALL the teams to lose against, how ironic!

At least they STILL grabbed a point out this matchup and they still have not lost in regulation.

What is with these no-loss teams losing to crappy teams, first Carolina ends Ottawa's no loss streak and now Columbus ends their first loss....STRANGE!

Mitch, I think it has to do with the better teams as in Nashville and Ottawa in this case overlooking Carolina and Columbus and the fact that the two bad teams had the chance of making themseleves feel better even though their team isnt doing too well this season as long as they beat an undefeated team. Columbus and Carolina probably played their hearts out while Nashville and Ottawa just didnt care and half assed the whole game. I watched more than half of the game and the Preds looked awful the whole night, like they thought they had the win before they even started to play. Even though they lost at least they got a point for the OT loss.

Oh man, my Canucks were slaughtered out there in Dever, poor guys. I knew they wouldn't win this one, too much pressure and eagerness to get this game over with (considering the media hooplas surrounding it).

Now that it is past them, I expect the REAL Canucks team to come out on Saturday and take the Divealanche to task.

On the whole though, despite the score, Canucks outshot the Avalanche and they set a Vancouver Canuck record by not allowing the Avalanche a SINGLE shot on goal through the entire 3rd period (too bad they didn't play this well in the 1st and 2nd cause if they had they would have OWNED the Av's)

Toronto really had surprised me out of the gate with their play and then came along a stinker like last nights game. Man those Sens are on a flying roll. Even as a Leaf fan I am technically supposed to hate the Sens but lol I cannot hate a team that is so friggin skilled. Leafs hopefully can rebound against Florida but lol if they don't improve their play against divisional teams like Ottawa well it could be a long season in T.O.... we shall see what the month of November brings.

      I think Krista is too hot or her. I think the current actress works bc she comes across so basic. Thats not a dig but she feels very normal and relatable as an average suburban woman. I think if Krista was in the role, Id want more out of her but I dont think Jan is meant for bigger things

      The sad thing about SC being a great actor is that his character has never worked. Ever. And yes if I don't know what Liam is about and just focus on acting... I can appreciate him. But as soon as I connect him to Liam... I cringe.  Maybe SC should run till he is still young and find himself a role where he can shine.

      As I've said before I don't believe the fact that both sisters have cheating husbands (one in the past, one more recently) is a coincidence or anything random. It's pre-thought and pre-planned and the message is clear. Cheaters can be found in all shapes, forms and sizes. Some do it in the most blatant way, they are known serial cheaters and their wives know of their past hook ups (as Dani has already said... she was willing to forgive Bill for his previous mistresses... till Hayley came) and some are more masterfully disguised in the image of the perfect husband. The fact that Dani was jealous of her sister Nicole's happy marriage in the first episodes was not a coincidence. I knew it the first second I heard it. It made me wonder and think what is beneath Nicole and Ted's picture perfect life. The show painted two very different sisters and then gave them the same crisis. It was intentional and dramatically focused on how these women acted after that... How they kept or did not keep their dignity. The contrasts and the similarities are not random. They connected the two stories very well. Telling us that beyond the gates there are secrets... lies and betrayals. And sometimes the happiest ones have the biggest skeletons in their closets. Is all of this a cliche? A soap opera serial cliche? Yes. Does it still work? Yes. And did we need to start with something that is more universal and easier to stomach by the mass audience? Yes. This is only the beginning of the show in terms of stories and themes. We will have years ahead of us to explore different aspects of these people. The first couple of months it had to be a classic sex and betrayal story that makes more people hooked. It's universal. Again. Nothing so far about both husbands being cheaters is coincidental for me. It's too early for that.

      Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . Tricia Mann Grant is 90s early 2000s quality FINE. As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.
