P.S: Corey Perry continues to be awesome. Getzlaf continues to be the Dudley Do Right of playmaking.
 
Always glad to see a Leafs win over the Habs. Looking at the highlights it seems the Habs absolutely shitted the bed?

We'll take the shutout.

Now then what happened with the Monster? I heard something about his heart again?

Heater and Michalek look like men on a mission tonight. Really entertaining game so far.

Yeah Michalek is playing like he's posessed. The players must have put up quite a bit of money before the game.

This is my first time watching Heatley since he skipped town, I see he still waves his stick in the air :lol

I gotta say the Sharks are scary good.

Cheechoo has got a bit of fire in him tonight it seems, if the 56-goal Cheechoo is still alive in him anywhere this is the night to show it.

Acid, I heard a Shark scored a goal.
Confirm/Deny?

Perhaps some pics will further enforce this wild claim?

I confirm and would love to provide photographic evidence.

That is one Patrick Marleau who scored the first goal of the game.

Here is one of a Senator getting punched in the face.

These chaps decided to have fisticuffs to try to energize their respective teams.
 
I swear there is someone in the audience yelling in some angry, manly way "happy birthday".

Where is my goddamn hat trick?
 
It all fell apart tonight. A night in Anaheim where a flimsy, phony Kings team trotted onto the ice and the chants of "YOU'RE MEANT TO BE OUR RIVALS BUT WE REALLY DON'T GIVE A SHIT" rang down celebrating the start of another uneventful Kings and Ducks game.

The negatives? Too many to even fucking mention. The pugnacity wasn't there. The testosterone. The belligerence. And lest we forget the truculence. The glorious sweet truculence. All weren't there.

The Ducks looked like the small team they are tonight and got a few things going against a superior Kings team that just gelled at the right time. After playing last night, and being dog tired from riding Kopitars back, the Kings put together another uneventful win for a solid, solid 2 points. Fuck I am so proud of my team tonight, on a few occasions my eyes welled up with tears watching them play. Every single player attacking the puck (then turning it over), finishing checks with tripping, missing shots, GIVING UP ON THE PLAY.

This is still a Double-B team.

My only concern now is for Artyukhin. His teammates pulled up their socks and said "Oi, will you stop fucking getting penalties?". And the PK finished what he started.

Fuck you Kings, and fuck your awesome looking third jerseys.
 
Holy shit. I just noticed that the LoLeafs blanked the Habs. Quebec must me on mass-suicide watch tonight.
 
Well, the Sens lost :(

But atleast that fuckface Heatley didn't get a single goal and is now trailing behind Marleau as the Sharks leader in goal (and Michalek got two, putting him three behind Heatley :D )

I swear, that was the hardest I've seen Heatley play in like 2 years though :lol

I can't even make a joke saying that you're really talking about Michalek because the Sens have as shitty a playoff record as we do.

How pitiful. We're the Sens of the West.

This past weekend.

Ballard smacks Voukon in the head.. meant to hit the goal post.

Funny shit.
Click to expand...
Has Ballard commented on what happened yet? Like, has he explained why the fuck he hit the post a second time and then skated away, as if oblivious?

Btw, it was Monday
 
Seeing Leafs fans with a hint of optimism is chilling, to say the least. Can't wait for the Bruins to annihilate them Saturday.

Oh god, there are no words. Shut out by the worst team in hockey :(

That hurts man. Leafs are playing well now, much better than your lowly Habs. We're far from the worst team in hockey and you know it deep down.

So what we are 6 points away from being 20th as well.

You've got to jump over 9 teams for that to happen, versus only having one team behind you.

I will say that the Leafs did look a lot better last night, but I think that was also a result of the Habs just playing incredibly timid hockey.

Have they got a shot at a playoff spot? Sure, same as Carolina and the Wild have a shot at a playoff spot. It's going to take a lot of work for it to happen, though.

Never said we were a playoff team, just not a bottom 5 lottery pick team. Boston fans are slowly waking up to that and feeling bad. Boo hoo.
 
Manics said:
Sure cause of the poor start, but when you look at recent team play the Leafs are far improved and are not playing like the 2nd worst team in hockey. I love how nobody but Leafs fans will face up to this.

5-5-4 in November. It's respectable, but certainly not a record to start planning a parade route to. The Leafs still have a lot of work to do before being considered a legitimate threat to challenge for the playoffs in the NHL.

Manics, I seem to recall you saying that the Leafs WILL NOT finish in the bottom 10 this season.

I posted the playoff comments without seeing your post first. My point still stands that you didn't think the Leafs were a bottom 10 team, and now you've changed your tune to saying they're not a bottom 5 like everyone was hoping. "They suck a little less than everyone thinks they do, but a little more than I initially projected."

Forza, yeah, I hop on that baby only when the getting's good.
 
I remember someone mentioning ages ago Alucard that you once were a Leafs fan and jumped shipped when Mario and Jagr made the Pens "cool"...poster also said you weren't from Pittsburgh!

I always said we finished 7th worst last year and this season we have a better team. The difference between 7th and 10th worst will most likely be a few points so yes, the Leafs could be 20th-17th in the league overall standings very easily.

LOL? What? When was this? I'm not from Pittsburgh, and you knew that a while ago, but the Pens have been my favourite team since I started watching hockey in March 1991. My neighbour got me into the Pens and Lemieux. Just so happened the Pens went on to win the Cup in the first two seasons I was a fan. My first taste of defeat was 1993 and David Volek.

Here is a Manics gem from the offseason thread...

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=17764329&postcount=5016

"Love how the mainstream press still doesn't believe in the Leafs this season. They acknowledge the beefed up D but still ask "who's gonna score goals???" even though the Leafs have proven time and again they could score. Their problem last season wasn't scoring, it was keeping the puck out. Now that Double-B has addressed that issue, Leafs are going to be the "cinderella team" this season -- at least to everyone who hasn't yet realized just how good this squad truly is. Next season nobody will be surprised and it'll be expected that the Leafs are a top team in the east.

1. Healthy Toskala = more wins
2. Monster as backup = more wins
3. Beefed up D = more wins
4. Frosh players = more speed and scoring
5. Kessel = legitimate star

Manics is happy, and all the Leaf haters are in for a LONG season. You're not afraid now, but you will be. You will be."

I realize that he's basically a caricature, but c'mon.
