you're kidding.

Two game winning streak.

It's the smallest of winning streaks, really, but we're still happy.

We kind of have a lot to update on. We know. Bare with us.

Carolina on Saturday was a good comeback. Down 2-0 in the first period, the team came back in the second. Jonas had some awesome saves (but are you even surprised anymore?) and he didn't have another goal scored on him the entire night.

And now for your artistically-taken photo of The Monster

The team came back looking and acting more pissed off than ever, and you know it was because Ron Wilson flipped shit on them in the locker room. We tried to think of how much shit Ron flipped exactly, but we were never good at math.

"Everyone basically playing shit plus two goals against us take away the arena being half empty plus the fact that E.Staal is not playing...."

"RONNIE'S GONNA BUST A CAP"

John Mitchell thankfully got the hint and scored a goal, as did Nikolai Kulemin. The MASSIVE surprise of the night was the fact that BLAKE ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING. He scored our third goal (wooo), making us lead 3-2. Nice to have you show up, Blake. You're only about a couple of weeks too late. The season started a month ago.

LEAFS WIN 3-2 (not in overtime or in shooutout!!!11!1!!)

NNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXT

Quite frankly the most fucking hilarious thing to happen to us. Beating Detroit 5-1. Did you hear that correct? FIVE TO ONE. Detroit, arguably one of the better teams in the league (possibly because all of their players look like identical octuplets so they all have the same genes) apparently decided that they didn't want to show up to play the Leafs; they would rather fuck shit up with the hookers in downtown Detroit.

BIG MISTAKE.

Kessel scores his first of the season for the team. Other goal scorers included Primeau (who scored the first), Jeff Finger (FINGER BANG BANG -- BANG BANG BANG!!!!), John Mitchell yet again (two goals in two consecutive games. We like) and Poni.Indeed.

P.S -->We don't feel your pain.

HAVE A HEART DINNER

LOLZLOLZLOLZ WHAT EEZ THEEZE NOODLEZ I AM POURING EENTO BOX? WE DON'T HAVE EEN BELARUS.

The annual Have a Heart dinner was held last week to raise money for charities that the Maple Leafs support. We always love to see these pictures and the videos from the event because we love to see the Leafs supporting the community serving food to the people who pay their multimillion dollar paycheques.

And really, who doesn't want to get Luke Schenn and Phil Kessel to serve you some dim sum?

We know we would. You know you would too, so don't even lie.

Ian White's mustache was also in attendance. Judging by the fact that White is holding chop sticks, we're thinking that mustache karate chopped the shit out of any kid rich enough to attend who dared to defy White and Mitchell's food station.

You know by that crooked grin that he has already done something. Mitchell is smiling only to try and cover up the situation / his part in the beating.

why hockey gods, why??

Hockey gods, if you are listening, would you mind giving us a clue as to why you continue to toy with us. We watched the game, we know you had something to do with all the almost goals..because if it was any other team they would have gone in (no point in denying it, we know your plans).
So tonight the Lightning came into the building. We are both excited for the game seeing as Phil Kessel was making his Leafs debut (more on him later) and also the Gangstav was going to be in net. Excitement fills us all!

Doesn't he look like a teddy bear...so pudgy! =)

First period..the battle of the goaltenders. Oh..and this:



This was so random, we laughed for at least 10 minutes. (Did anyone else note how when Hagman is really mad, he looks like an angry cat? Don't mess with him!) As the period continues Phil Kessel is welcomed back to the NHL:

There was a brief moment when both of our hearts stopped..we didn't want to lose him so soon after getting Phil back. But then he came back on the bench and every Leafs fan let out that breath they were holding in.

Tampa breaks the goose-eggs in the second with Vinny Lecavalier getting a rebound right to him after Gangstav turns the puck over. Third LEAFS SCORE BABY! Ian White again (It's the mustache, we know it!) Overtime here we come! It's going great lots of chances we are really enjoying this, we may even wi....WHAT! TAMPA SCORES! ARE YOU KIDDING US! THE NET WAS OFF, GANGSTAV WAS INTERFERED WITH, THERE WAS A HIGH STICK! The goal is reviewed but everyone knows the NHL hates us (even though we make them all their money..) and it is allowed. Leafs loose in overtime..again. Thank you hockey gods, I think we have learned our lesson, whatever it may have been.

Here is the one thing that really bugged us about this game. The Leafs were on the power play NINE times..they scored on ONE of those power plays. Sure Niittymaki was solid in net, but with some of the chances we had...to not bury it..rgooinwgq it's frustrating.

On some good notes though: Phil Kessel with 10 shots on net 19 directed towards the net...they will find the back of the net soon we are sure of this! AND TAMPA DIDN'T SCORE ON ANY POWER PLAY OPPORTUNITIES!!! this is the second game in a row...if we start scoring on power plays, and keep killing penalties..we may...dare we say it..win a few games!

Leafs play the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday...lets hope for some awesomeness!

GO LEAFS!

the birth of Our Luke and Saviour


Saskatchewan.

Specifically, Saskatoon.

The year is 1989. the Saskatchewan Roughriders have won the CFL's Grey Cup.

Somewhere in Saskatoon, a baby is born to proud parents Rita and Jeff. It is a boy, weighing about 12 pounds.
"Jesus Rita, he's fucking huge."
"YOU THINK I WOULD KNOW I HAD TO CARRY HIM IN ME FOR NINE MONTHS"
The boys is named Luke. We're pretty sure he came out looking like this.

Mr. and Mrs. Schenn soon discover that their precious baby boy has been blessed with the smile of an angel, but with fists of fury. At a young age, the boy gets into hockey and dominates everyone around him. His massive size and, well, let's face it, weight, make him a top hockey player in Saskatchewan.
Luke Schenn (as he becomes known - one must never say just "Luke", because that implies generality, and Luke Schenn is not generic - he is ONE OF A KIND) becomes even more dominant around hockey circles, and kids start to make fun of his size.
"Hey Luke! You're so fat your ass has its own zipcode!"
"Hey Stevie, guess what?"
"What?"
"BEHIND MY ASS IS ANOTHER CHECK MOTHER FUCKER"
Stevie was never involved in hockey again.

Soon enough, Luke Schenn comes of age where he is drafted in the WHL to the Kelowna Rockets. He clearly dominates there as well. It is here where Luke Schenn hones his skills and where more important people than just little old Stevie begin to notice the wrath that is Luke Schenn.
"Don, who's that kid, number five?"
"OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS?!"
"Noooo....."
"OMG JIM THAT'S ONLY LUKE SCHENN LIKE OMG HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW HIM HAVEN'T YOU SEEN HIS DOMINANCE OMG OMG OMG"

After three years of playing in Kelowna, Luke Schenn had had enough. "Fuck this," he was reported saying. "I want to go to the fucking NHL."
Whatever Luke Schenn wants, Luke Schenn gets.

The day of the 2008 NHL Draft. Luke Schenn looks nervous, but is truly unphased. In a backroom deal he has met with Cliff Fletcher and told him, "Listen here. I want Toronto. Toronto wants me. If you know what's good for you, you will trade up and draft me." Cliff Fletcher responded with, "OMFG are you serious Luke? You think I didn't do that already?! What kind of a moron do you think I am?"
Upon seeing Luke Schenn, Ron Wilson was all like, "THAT KID IS AMAZING AND HE'S STAYING ON THE TEAM I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY DAMIEN COX YOU CAN GO SUCK YOUR OWN - - "
"Hey boss," Luke interrupts, knocking on the door, "I'm kind of ready to dominate. Can I just go right ahead and buy the condo downtown?"
"Of course you can kid. By a pimp ring such as my own while you're at it."

Brian Burke takes charge and he and Luke Schenn immediately form a bromance. The best bromance of all time. At the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Brian is heard saying, "See what would have happened? If I would have traded Schenn and our first rounder to Tampa, we still wouldn't have gotten Tavares. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FUTURE CAPTAIN MATERIAL, POSSIBLY A FUTURE CAPTAIN, being traded, but then not getting Tavares. I would have looked like an idiot."
We love you Burkie.

Anyways.

Luke clearly dominates in his rookie year in th NHL. He ALLOWS Chris Neil of the Senaturds be his first fight. He introduced Tyler Kennedy of the Pittsburgh Penguins to his fists of fury he was born with as a child, and, when put as a player for a pre-season game shootout, he scored a fantabulous goal, which made Stajan make this face (epic Stajan face?! We think so)
Luke Schenn, now in his sophmore season, isn't phased by the "sophmore slump".
"Sophmore jinx? Bitch please," was reportedly his response when a reporter asked him about it. That reporter, just like little Stevie, was never heard from again.

Happy Birthday to LUKE FUCKING SCHENN who officially isn't a teenager anymore.
We hope many years of dominance and capitancy WITH THE LEAFS is in your near future, our good sir.
GO LEAFS!
PHIL KESSEL FTW?! WE HOPE SO!

"what in god's name are they wearing?!"

Luke Schenn found Waldo but unfortunately for us the entire rest of the team didn't.

Honestly, by the end of the game our eyes were sore from watching. We get that it was Haloween, but did the whole fucking Habs locker room have to agree on EVERYONE being Waldo?!

Leafs lose 5-4 in a shootout.

Hopefully the Tampa game will have better results.



GO LEAFS!

This is not good for our health.

Tonight's game was literally a heart attack waiting to happen for us, so many ups and downs it was insane. Wow. Best game of the season for us for sure, (Miller just always decides he wants to be amazing against the Leafs. We don't get it, but it's the truth) even though we lost, it was in overtime meaning we got a point....HEY WE ARE ON A THREE GAME POINT STREAK!!! now back to the actual game..
First period:

All is going well so far..back and forth play good chances coming from both ends of the ice. It is during this time where we begin to wonder HOW MANY FUCKING ADVERTISEMENTS DOES A HOCKEY GAME NEED! "Leafs power play brought to you by so and so" "Turning point in the game brought to you by blah blah blah" Just talk about the game..really poor Bowman having to put up with that shit. Anywho back to the game, Leafs start getting into penalty trouble (again, do they learn.) on the first five on three...buffalo goal. Then another 5 on 3...you think that they would learn from the first one. Difference maker in this one, Luke frikken Schenn. He was EVERYWHERE on the ice blocking pucks here, getting it out there our boy is back baby.
Ian White= BEAST! It's not even Halloween yet and the man is already in character- a hell of a wrist shot beats Miller (finally) and the game is all tied up. (The camera men must be scared of White's 'beast-ness' so they didn't take a picture, but we are going to give you a picture of White and his amazing moustache because we cool like that.)

Ian White's facial hair FTW!

Second period:

This starts basically the same as the first until Stempy decides to take a pass and then BAM he is on a breakaway. But being Stempy..he was close..but no cigar. Oh, did we mention GStav was in net:

That poke check right there would make Mr. Bower proud. Another breakaway, the Leafs can't expect to have Gstav getting them out of trouble all the time..Buffalo scores again. 2-1..we are crying inside.

Third:

Leafs on the power play. We can score, someones winning a free phone from vtech..great for everyone! This is until Leaf fans witness the most epic fail of life in the form of Alexi Ponikarovsky. He beat miller, he beat the posts, but he could not get it to cross that ugly red line making it a goal. The world is baffled, the UN gathers to try and figure out how it didn't go in..we are pissed and are screaming very vulgar things at our television screen.

The leafs owned this period by the way..buzzing around taking shots (no, not of vodka silly..though maybe Poni was and that is why he missed the net..who knows though) and the only reason Buffalo is in this game is because of Ryan Miller. End of the period..still 2-1..Gstav goes to the bench the pressure is on..and wait..WHY THE FUCK DID MATT STAJAN JUST TAKE A PENALTY. Our whole world falls apart there is no way we are scoring now..the next sequence of events happened so quickly Melissa didn't even have enough time to send the text messages about the penalty before it happened. "fuck. stajan took a penalty. NO WAIT SCORES!! OMG OMG"

(what a face.)

Grabbo with the shorthanded goal. We are so overwhelmed that our hearts are beating faster then usual...if anymore crazy shit went down heart attacks for sure. All of our emotions however could be summed up into 3 pictures of epic proportion of Ron Wilson.



We don't know if he is having a heart attack, or dancing to Lean Back. Either way he is pimp. The look of sheer joy on his face reminds us of Christmas time!

Overtime:
We are still penalty killing...Leafs + Penalty killing= Buffalo winning in overtime =( We are disappointed we lost because, well, we deserved to win this game. But hey we got a point..so that's a plus!
Tomorrow Halloween, we play les Habitants. Let's hope Gstav starts so that he can show them how to do the Monster Mash (get it, get it!!??)
Let's do this Leafs!

great hustle boys....

What a game.

We know we lost, but it was a game well faught. We still got a point and some players especially had great games. Blake actually showe up tonight (three assists) and Kulemin notched two goals.



First Period
No goals but some good speed by Poni and some nice saves on Gustavsson and Turco's parts. We outshoot Dallas 9-2. G-stav makes it look so fucking easy.

During the intermission, Bob McKenzie and the rest of the TSN panel (including Craig McTavish who upped his excitement level by only about one level- snore) discusses some of the hits that went on in the league this past week. The more serious ones are discussed. Bob makes a good point, saying something about the U.S Congress getting tougher on the NFL about hits on the head, and then says, "I think the NHL should give thanks that the Congress doesn't know they exist."

Those be some fighting words.

They alo discuss who they think should be the captain of the Olympic men's hockey team. Crosby's name is obviously thrown around, so is Scott Niedermeyer. Whoever it is, they better be up for the task.


Second Period
We start off with some more speed, except from Stalberg, and a great defensive play by Luke Schenn and a save by G-stav.

Dallas gets the first goal, which was partly the fault of Beauchemin as he decided to go to a cheap strip joint or something and completely leave the side of the net open, where he is supposed to be. G-stav is angry, and it's visible (was that a stick banging on the net we see, Mr. Gustavsson?) The announcers start spewing off how the Leafs have given up the first goal in ever game this season blah blah blah

ZOMG KULEMIN!
Nice little play there. Sneaky sneaky. The puck goes in the smallest space possible. 1-1.



Third Period
Shittiest penalty EVER called on Komisarek for "high sticking". Please. He faked it more than socer players fake diving. Fuck.

Dallas scores. Bring out the Jason Spezza nervous laugh.

Fucking gold. Too bad he's a Senaturd. We're quietly trying to smuggle him out of there.

But then LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE STEMPNIAK scores, and we completely forget about the nervous Jason Spezza laugh (nervous or just a nerd laugh? You decide.)

There comes a point where G-stav does a little somthin'somethin'.

First there's a
Then there's a
And last but not least

There comes a moment in Melissa's life where she begins to quote Twilight, but with Maple Leaf players. It's pretty funny yet awkward, as Vanessa is probably the only girl in North America who hasn't read the books (and refuses to read them).


"G-stav....YOU ARE MY LIFE NOW."

"You Schenn are my own personal brand of heroin."

FUCK YOU LUKE SCHENN IS BETTER THAN ROB PATZ ANYDAY LIKE COME ON SRSLY IS THAT EVEN AN ARGUMENT.

Kulemin scores his second and we are in the lead. This is awesome. Vanessa's dad is even getting excited, and he's a Bruins fan.
Ribeiro steals our thunder with about thre minutes left to go. We're going to over time.
Overtime
Kind-of sort-of close to hometown boy (hometown boy as in Toronto, not Dallas [really, a hockey player from Texas?!]), James Neal from Whitby scores the winner.
Le sigh.
LEAFS LOSE 4-3 IN A SHOOTOUT
S'ok. G-stav was clearly angry though. Good thing? Or bad thing?
We think good. He got mad after every shot he let in, which means he obviously doesn't like letting them in. This can be incentive to not let in goals? Perhaps.
See you on Friday.
GO LEAFS!

WIN!!!1!!1!

We're elated. Today we have a little but more oomph in our step because of this win. We played a great game, didn't take too many moron-esque penalties, and we just... we just rocked, okay?
FUCKING TRUCULENCE MOTHER FUCKERS.



First Period
There is something wrong with the world when we see palm trees before a shot of the ice in the arena. Regardless, the power of the nineties techno is on our side. Night at the Roxbury, we love you.

G-stav is in net and that obviously tickles our fancy. We kind of love him, a lot. We care about his groin more than we care about that book review we had to write on that book that we didn't even read (yeah, we know that sounds wrong). We don't feel a gut-wrenching pain in our stomachs when any Anaheim player skates towards the net.

Grabbo opens the score for Toronto, making it 1-1. Now if only Grabbo could take off that helmet so his Bon Jovi hair can express itself...

Sooner rather than later Hagman gets his first goal of the night, making us lead 2-1. Steve and Doug would be proud. He has been nothing short of amazing this season (despite our craptacular start). Smiles creep onto our faces. This is going to be a good night.


Second Period
Hagman gets his second goal, and the ferocious texting battle begins. We try to study for mid-terms, but since we're going to get raped sideways anyway, we turn on the game.
"How does one study when we are winning it's become such a rare moment!"
"FUCK YOU MESOPOTAMIAN GODS WE HAVE HAGMAN!!!1!!1!"



Bobby Ryan scores for Anaheim near the end of the period, but we're not worried. We can't explain it...maybe it's because we have G-stav in net. Maybe it's because it looks like we can actually play hockey. Maybe it's because we are now excelling at the powerplay. Steve and Doug are clearly on our side tonight.

Thanks guys.


Third Period
WAS THAT A LEE STEMPNIAK GOAL?!

We found this while searching for "Lee Stempniak goal Oct 26 2009". Obvious credit to whoever made it. Not like the Leafs are a sub-standard team...And it's too fucking bad he's still wearing the Blues jersey.

TOMAS KABERLE LOLZLOLZLOLZ YOU ARE SO CZECH WE LOVE YOU

Czech it out. AHAHAHAA get it? Oh fuck.

P.S. Kabby, five points in one game? LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS IS WHY WE DIDN'T TRADE YOU, RIGHT?


"omfg theres this contest on rogers where you can win a prize where you watch a game with ASIAN BURKE AND get a tour of me dressing room"
"...who the FUCK is asian burke? LMFAO TELL ME THEY MADE A CLONE OF HIM SOMEWHERE"



NIKLAS HAGMAN HAT TRICK WOWOWOWOWOW LIKE SRSLY HAGMAN UR SO AMAZING.



No like SRSLY can we start playing "What is Love?" and you can start dancing with us and it will be so fun and then Luke Schenn will join in too and hell why not bring in Stempniak and we can all rock our heads to the left and then for jokes Ron Wilson can join in too but he'll only do it for a little bit cause he's all serious and such but then Brian Burke will see Ron Wilson doing it and think to himself "Well fuck my hardass reputation Imma join in too" and he will start doing it and then everyone on the team will go out and celebrate in Anaheim to this song and steal all the hot bitches in Anaheim from all the greasy dudes there. *takes deep breath*

Corey Perry, sorry bud but you don't exactly matter at this point anymore.




LEAFS DOMINATE 6-3
We're skipping to class.






AND NOW A WORD ON JONAS GUSTAVSSON


We would be totally fine with him starting every game of this season, barring injury. The goaltending situation isn't too bleak with him around the save the day. However, we are wondering what kind on concoction Brian Burke is stirring up to keep him in Toronto. Last time we checked he only signed a one year deal with us so we're speculating how Burke is going to handle the situation. Not that we think G-stav would particularly leave Toronto when he's already had his fache put on cereal boxes (remember that save against Detroit in the preseason? Fuck, we still get shivers) Some of the saves tonight are bound to give us shivers when we re-watch them as well. We can get used to this feeling of hearing a "HOLY MACKINAW WHAT A SAVE BY GUSTAVSSON" being heard by Joe Bowen every game night (side note - good to have you back Joe! WE <3>We can't wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for us.

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!

Saturday, October 17, 2009

We can't catch a break.

We really don't know what it is going to take to get the Leafs to win a game. The have lightened the mood at practices, made changes to the line up...we really don't know what else can be done. One thing that bugged us tonight was when Joey Mac was annouced..people were booing. Now we understand everyone is upset, we are too, extremely upset, what is that going to do for his confidence. Absolutely nothing that's what..and he needs all he can get with this team infront of him! But J.Mac we salute you for stepping up at playing with us when, apparently, no one wants you (Do we all actally believe the injuries..psh).

So the game starts with a little flash back to the 90's with Potvin, Osborne and Berg dropping the puck (a collective sigh as all Leaf fans remember better times..). Back to the first period..everything seems to be going great, the Leafs actually look decent..we are going to the net, getting ample opportunities, Luke is set on destroying someone tonight and delivers a monster check on Rozsival, but we could be wrong..we were in a daze by the montrosity of the hit..but then Ponikarovsky goes and does something idiot like this whilst on a 5 on 3:
Slash. 2 minutes in the box.
New York obviously takes advantage of this situation and scores..the Leafs give up the first goal of the game..again.

Second period, shit flies through the roof, New York score two more goals...it's 3-0..But then Ian White scores making it 3-1 (there are no pictures of this event..even the photographers were in too much shock to take a picture) Near the end of the period, Avery decides to give Schenn a little face wash...bad idea..he will now be impregnated by Schenn and will have to sit out for the rest of his life (we can dream can't we.). As we get to the third period and New York scores another goal making it 4-1 we realize it is going to be one of those games again and we immediately decide to go find funny pictures of the game and make silly comments about them because humour is always the way to turn in times like these.


First up we have Rosehill taking a break from the game to do his daily pilates "And 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. Really need to work off that pizza I ate."

Next up: Grabs.

in this case..we think the picture is woth 1000 words..and then some.

(we really just put that because we don't know what to think..it's a pretty insane picture if we do say so ourselves)

The Leafs next game isn't 'til next Saturday..one whole week without hockey..but don't you worry, we have some great features coming up to fill in the gaps.

Then the week after that we play Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday again. Way to spread the games Bettman..fantastic job buddy.

That's all for tonight. 4-1. Leafs loose..again.

Goodnight all!

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

the coup d'etat is ready to go.


This is basically what happened to us. We're wallowing our heads in shame right now. Pure shame. If we didn't have mid-terms coming up we'd be staying in the house, in our pajamas, eating ice cream. (Wait - we might still do that.)

Where is the chemistry? Where is the confidence? For fuck sakes, you are all players on the TORONTO FUCKING MAPLE LEAFS. HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SWAGGER.

Congrats to Tyler Bozak for getting his first NHL point. We were glad that Stalberg was back, really glad. He looked good out on the ice.

We're not losing hope. Not yet. We may be getting unexplicably shit-faced to the point where we don't remember these past six games, but we're not losing hope.

We're Leaf fans. We've been hoping since we can remember.

That's all we have to say. That's all that can really be said.
