Behind The Blue Line: Nazem's Nifty Mittens

Wait....so let us get this straight...
The Leafs won tonight.
And they won the game before...
And the game before that.
.....Wait...
And the game before that?
ARE THE LEAFS ON A FUKING WINNING STREAK?!
Why can't this happen DURING THE SEASON?!

ANYWAYS;

The Finnish Fashionista let us down early tonight by letting in the first goal less than three minutes into the first period. We're very disappointed in you, Vesa. No Prada if you keep this up.

People say Vesa feels good after recovering from his injury, but he doesn't look too good, to us. We know he can do this. We know it.

But instead Vesa sorta flops around like a fish. Bayda and Conner put in two goals and you're all like "Shit."

You almost lose hope and change the channel before you remember that we have Viktor Stalberg playing tonight and, well, let's be honest, anything can happen with his speed. You don't need a 3.4 GPA to know shit goes down when Stalberg is on the ice (which, oh-so cooincidentally, is his GPA while he's studyig like, finance or something.)

Viktor Stalberg FTW. He looks like he just found where Ron Wilson hides the cookies. You knew this would turn out alright, and it is. For now. Let's hope we can keep this up.

Komisarek had a couple of nice hits tonight, which is great, considering his presence was kind of lacking previously. He definitely made up for it tonight. Whenever he made a mistake on the ice he always fixed it by making a nice hit on someone that always made us happy.

Then this happened,

And you were like, "FUCK YEAH!" because now we were in business. The truculence was beginning to show. We love JStaal but couldn't help but laugh menacingly when Komisarek basically picked him up off the ice just to beat the shit out of him some more. It was a good moment, no doubt.

The puck kept on hitting the damn posts on basically every shot we took, which got us irritated. GET THE HELL IN, DAMN PUCK. It's not rocket science.

Then, the best moment of the game. Nazem Kadri scores late in the period and forces overtime. We're excited. You are too, and you know it. You also feel unexplicably pregnant, but you don't know why. However, shit-all happens during that time besides the puck hitting the pipes a few more times (honestly? come on).

We go to shootout. Can the Finnish Fashionista do it?

Nazem Kadri puts in a beautiful goal.

You're definitely pregnant.

Nothing else matters after this point because of how beautiful that goal was. You're just in a state of awe and already have plans on making your child a Nazem Kadri costume for Halloween. Or dressing up in one yourself. Either way you're awesome in our books.

BREAKING NEWS

IAN WHITE'S MOUSTACHE HAS GONE MISSING

If you were watching the game tonight, you MUST have noticed the absence of Ian White's prized, much-loved and much envied (for men who wish they could grow that facial hair) moustache. It has been a staple of Ian White for a while now, seeing as he is one of the only people capable of resurrecting the 70s porn stache and making it look pimp.

Please, if you have seen it anywhere, contact us, or make sure it gets back safe to its owner.
