Habs/Leafs Game thread
(Preview)
Haven't seen Spiderman's usual post, so let's start one here.
4-0 Habs after one.
Great first period. Everyone played well. Probably Bonk's best period this year - at both ends of the ice. 2 for 2 on the PP. Looking good.

maybe desire is creeping in.
(Preview)
Yesterday I read a clip about Dandenault being so upset after they lost the game to the Isles that he could not sleep that night. He really vented to the media about the terrible performance from the whole team. He could not understand the lack of desire on the team in such a monumental ga...

Who Were Those Masked Men?
(Preview)
The team in general looked unrecognizable. They played with constant intensity and look at the results. It’s not brain surgery Mr. Gainey, don’t have one man in. Have the forwards go full throttle and capitalize of the other team’s defensive breakdowns.
Our two top lines were g...

Back Again
(Preview)
Finally law school applications complete and back from the much deserved vacation (a nice cruise down mexico, costa rica, and the panama canal).
Just got back from Panama, and what a game to watch for that first one back. After hearing all the leafs talk all day on my radio and tv (living in Ham...

How about that team!!!
(Preview)
They blew the Leafs away. They played with passion & focus. They really worked hard to get that win.
How about that Kovalev? They all played amazing hockey tonight. They certainly found their game & I saw few flaws this evening. If we keep up that game plan, Playoffs here we...

Credit Gainey for picking up Todd Simpson
(Preview)
At the trade deadline day some of you weren't too impressed with only picking up Todd Simpson. . .Simpson isn't a Norris Trophy candidate, but he is a veteran and a former captain (Calgary) and tough. With our banged up blueline, atleast one D would have played in the last 3 games from Hami...

A call to revoke Figaro’s status as “mediator” !

Several posts have recently been “edited” and/or “removed” …this foolish censorship has gone way beyond the bounds of keeping good relations. These posts contained ZERO profanity…and were harmless chatter amongst many regulars and “newbies”.

Flawless

Yesterday's game, mtl. vs. tor., was a great game to watch (for habs fans). Montreal were quicker, faster, smarter, defensively and offensively superior this game. We did not take too uch penalties, proving furthermore that toronto is absolutely nothing without their PP. Huet shou...

Our big line
(Preview)
I wish Bob Gainey would put our former big line together of Koivu, Kovalev and Zednik. Then go with Ribeiro, Ryder and Higgins. That way we have at least one line that is a bit scary. Put Plekanec with Begin and Bulis and then Bonk with whoever. We need to shake up the lines somehow, and I'd say go back to the...

How about as a coach?
(

)
(Preview)
For those that thought Gainey is a genious or above average as a GM, I wonder what their thoughts are of him as a coach?
For myself, I stand by my thoughts of him as an average GM and I must add, not a good coach.
To expand on his GM bit...the guy has been a coach for a few months a...

The only concern
(Preview)
For those that say I'm always negative, I don't want to let you down with a lack of consistency.
My only concern is that the Laffs actually can't score five on five and are struggling like us offensively before this game. It's actually a little hard to guage our team against them b...

Brutal Bandwagon Jumpers In Here
(Preview)
I'm new to this forum. I thought it was only Leaf supporters that jumped on/off bandwagons like this.
Before the season anybody with hockey knowledge would predict this group could finish as high as 7th and as low as 11th. That is exactly the spots we are battling for right now.
What e...

Reporting from the Bell Centre ...
(Preview)
I'm live at the Bell Centre. Real playoff atmosphere. it's a shame I'm not sitting in the real seats, up in the rafters cheering them on. Yeah the press gallery has an unwritten rule.
Great news. Markov is playing!!!

Gainey and Koivu quotes from TSN
(Preview)
Koivu is more of a passer than shooter at the best of times, but of late, he feels he has been a little too generous around the net.
"If you go through a streak when you don't score, you're passing the puck too much and you're not looking for that simple play," said Koivu. "I've just got to keep telling mys...

Well, another thread closed, and I'm not sure why....
This is going to be my last post until there's a set of guidelines that is spelled out for us. They are sorely needed.
If this is my last post, I bid farewell to my pals up here (you know who you are) and to all the other posters new and old for the g...

Gainey said on NHL network..."Saks has to play with more effort and concentration to break out of his slump and the sooner, the better".
But on the flip side, Saks actually faced the music and stated to the media that he's trying passes too much because he has no confidence with his shot...
