It's an Improvement..but still no win.

Everyone knows we lost..it's kind of just goes with the Leafs now...the Leafs lose end of story. BUT even though we lost tonight, we saw some signs of great hockey (great hockey..from the Leafs...NOO!) The Leafs fans were really represented in 'Nucks town..it was a great atmosphere in the GM Place.
The first period starts and we are feeling pretty good about our team. We were leading in shots, we were out skating, JMac was making saves (yup that's right saves) it was fabulous, we thought it was a time shift back to the preseason. But as soon as we think this we take 5 straight penalties. This evidently leads to this:
And after taking that many penalties we are fuming, we love you Leafy's but could you please PLEASE stop taking stupid penalties. Thank you! Love Melissa and Vanessa.
By the end of the first it is 2-0 and we are scared it's going to go downhill from there.
Intermission: Don Cherry is the man..seriously, that suit tonight was epic and the hat that went along with it that had a little pom pom on the top..truly amazing

Unfortunately this picture does show the hat..but we can't ask for to0 much can we.

Second period begins and we actually don't look like we don't want to be on the ice at..which is not something we have seen in a while..The 'Nucks even took some penalties! And we all know what penalties lead to!

funny how it's not even a picture of the goal scorer.(well hey there Stalberg =))

Hagman scoreeess!! This is after Blake was skating around Loungo hacking at him earning him the comparison to a flipper on a pinball machine (a very good analogy if you ask us).

Then something the two of us have been waiting for all season happens. LUKE SCHENN FIGHT!!!!!

We were so excited for this moment..we always thought Luke looked best during/after fights..and we were not disappointed tonight. Not disappointed at all. (So we may be a tad biased..but Schenn won...he just didn't want to unleash all his power on poor Glass.)
Right as the period is about to end the unthinkable happens..bad give away=break away...We think the hockey gods are finally starting to come around because just as they get to the net we are saved by the bell (pun intended) the buzzer goes off...and we both almost have heart attacks.
Third period...WE HAVE A HOCKEY GAME! A LEGIT HOCKEY GAME!! someone call the poh-poh..some crazy shit is going down. The Leafs, dare we say it..look good, and if it wasn't for Mr. Fantastic at the other end of the ice we may have gotten away with at least one point. Joey Mac played amazing tonight..it was so nice to watch a goalie make some saves. We were very entertained all night long. (Well minus that one time in the first..but sh!)
Funniest part of the third period: Vancouver hits the post, or completely misses the empty net at least 50 times before it goes in.
'Nucks win 3-1, but good effort tonight boys..we are very proud of you.
Monday we play Anaheim..it's going to be a short post seeing as school has decided to hit us with a wave of never ending homework and midterms. G-Stav will be in net most likely..looking forward to that shit.
GO LEAFS!
