The 7.5 Million Dollar Man is single-handedly making up for a pretty rusty season opener on Ottawa's part, but I have to admit it is kinda nice to have the Battle of Ontario actually mean something again.

Right where they left off. Raycroft sucks, and they can't hold a lead in the 3rd.

Maurice is a moron for not starting Toskala.


Starting Toskala?...based on what exactly?


Great win for the Habs though! Your loser Habs were rocking 4th in the conference until their collapse last season...
 
That was a good game, Gerber saved the Sens' asses numerous times. We need to work on passing though, and I don't understand why Spezza was trying to pass through the crowd everytime.

based on the fact that raycroft is a garbage starter.

Based on Raycroft's poor performance last year and Toskala supposedly being brought in to be the #1 guy? You know, logic

MTL 1-0-0
TOR 0-0-1

YOU LOSE THIS ROUND
 
Nice try leafers, you guys almost had that one. Almost. All you needed was a timely goal (or two) from the captain and it would have been in the bag.

Take this guy for instance

That there is how you get it done mats, take note. Great start to the season, would watch again. A+
 
Played a opening proline ticket today

Montreal to win-check
Detriot to win-check
Ducks/Wings under 5.5 goals - check
Sens to win - check
Sens/Leafs over 5.5 goals - check

Modano vs Sakic - Tie in points - So far tied


$150 bucks on a $3 wager, if it comes threw consider this a great day.
 
:lol celebrating a win over fucking Carolina

Raycroft still looks lost out there. Score could have been 5-3 in the 3rd in favour of the Sens if not for some lucky saves in which he had no idea where the puck was.
 
Forza save some of that angst, can't use up all your energy after just the first (of many) leafs collapses ;)

Sens were awful tonight and yet managed to win it.

6 blocked shots for Anton :lol

Yah, the Sens played horrible defensively, I hope they shap up tomorrow when they raise the banner.
 
Raycroft is such a terribly average goalie. Sure he can make 3-4 good saves a game but for every good save he makes, he lets in something that he could have stopped.

Good game by most of the Leafs squad though. We don't have any superstars like Heatley but we still managed to outplay the Senators for a majority of the game.

Shame that we can't catch a break :(

Just imagine if Toskala gets shelled tomorrow night...

If Toskala gets shelled everyone will just complain about how JFJ wasted more draft picks.
If Toskala is great than everyone will just complain about Maurice starting Raycroft in the first game.

isn't that the same captain who gave up before the season even started?
 
I can already imagine a humiliating loss with Toskala getting shelled with 40+ shots. Leafs can't possibly win at the Corel Centre.

Well the Sens can't play any worse than they did tonight. Fucking Redden in the box for 10minutes there went the breakout pass. :lol

Ya what was with Redden being in a pissed off mood tonight...:lol

Maybe Belak and McGrattan dress tomorrow night...
 
Looking on the bright side, Blake was great. Also where the hell did Wozniewski come from? He has been pretty good in the preseason and today.
 
Well, holy shit. It's a game. Stastny better step it up.

EDIT: :lol And he makes a nice shot block. I was being sarcastic, kid!
 
The Almost-Comeback is one of the shittiest feelings in sports. Young guys came to play, vets didn't.

You really had to watch the game in HD to get the most out of it. For instance, those watching in standard definition may have missed the "666" branded in Stasny's forehead.

Sakic/Modano tie in points - book it!


$150 big ones in the bag, confirming the feeling that yes, free money does indeed rock.

The Almost-Comeback is second only to Pointless-Late-Goals-Scored-On-A-Goalie-I-Have-In-Yahoo when it comes to shitty feelings. Thanks for the W there Budaj, although it sure was sweeter before you and the avs just let the punchless Stars drop 2 more on you for no good fucking reason. IT'S THE FUCKING STARS! THEY MAY NEVER SCORE 2 GOALS IN ONE PERIOD AGAIN THIS YEAR GODDAMMIT.
 
I love being in a bar when that Pointless-Late-Goal-Scored-On-A-Goalie goes in. Most of the people are pretty quiet, but there's a distinct groan coming from one or two tables.
 
Haha when I'm back home and there's a bunch of us watching a random game it's always funny to see how varied reactions are to every goal. No matter what, someone is happy their guy got a goal/assist/+ etc, someone is pissed because they had the goalie, someone is annoyed their dman shot the puck but the forward tipped it for no good reason, and half of the guys are confused, wondering if their guy was on the ice for the -1.
 
Leaf fans- at least the ones that go to the games- have got to be THE dumbest fans in the entire fucking league

HOW ARE YOU HELPING BY BOOING YOUR GOALIE?

holy fuck, they were on him after he let in ONE GOAL

in the SEASON OPENER

all that's fucking doing is draining your goalie's confidence. you're doing NOTHING but hurting your own team, and it's SO FUCKING STUPID.

i realize Raycroft hasn't been a very good goalie for the leafs, but he's not abysmal- at least he wasn't tonight. some of the goals scored on him weren't the best ones, but he made some big saves when the game was tied 2-2, including a shorthanded breakaway, and a couple more right in close a minute later.

YOU HAVE YOUR COACH SITTING A SUPERIOR GOALIE BECAUSE HE'S WORRIED YOU'LL WRECK HIS CONFIDENCE TOO

ENJOY ANOTHER 67 YEARS YOU DUMBSHITS

jesus CHRIST

Truth.

When I'm at games I can't stand some of the meatheads in the stands. Funny how they'll boo him one second then cheer when he makes a great save. I know they don't like him, but booing just makes it that much harder on him to actually play good.
 
Ducks rock.
I can't wait until Perry charges a guy from behind... into Pronger's flying elbow. And then, as the guy's falling down, Bertuzzi jumps on his back and drives his head into the ground. And then during the post-game interviews, Burke calls the guy (who's now in a coma) a "schmuck on the same level as Kevin Lowe".

C-C-C-COMBO!! ULTRA ULTRA ULTRAAAAAaaaaaa

You forgot to mention Brad May hitting someone with a metal folding chair when they weren't looking and then running back into the dressing room so that Pronger can wake the ref up to count the 3 count.

Related: Apparently Brad May has his own website. He describes himself as a "Gritty left winger... a top-notch locker-room guy who keeps his opponents honest when he’s on the ice."

We sure do you love your grit, Thug May!
 
Perry is hilarious. he talks so much shit. the first punch of that fight is fantastic, drake is trying to take his own helmet off when perry just grabs him, punches him right in the ear and drake's helmet goes flying off. maybe perry thought that was the point of a fight, first to lose their helmet loses!
 
It's really bad that he broke into the NHL with the Neo Broad Street Bullies. When he inevitably ends up somewhere else (or on a Ducks roster that is no longer bruiser heavy) he's literally going to get murdered on the ice. I really do believe that. Ok maybe not but man is his already battered body gonna get demolished...
