[Open Thread] Toronto Maple Leafs v. Boston Bruins

by PPP on Jan 17, 2008 2:17 PM EST in Game Day Open Threads

I think I have finally cracked the Make-A-Wish mystery. It wasn't compromising photos of JFJ, Paul Maurice, or Dick Peddie that kept him in the lineup! It was a McDonald's contest. This picture was dropped into my e-mail with the accompanying text:

Ever dream of being part of the starting line up with the Toronto Maple Leafs?

Enter now for your chance to win the honour of joining the Toronto Maple Leafs starting line up!

McDonald's is the proud Hamburger Sponsor of the Toronto Maple Leafs. What is your pre-game meal?

I would hope it's not some greasy disgusting fast food but the way that the Leafs play third periods I am guessing that it's their intermission meal too.

[Update: Consider this the game day thread since a battle is raging in my stomach and I can't write anymore. Just put your SPG Guesses in here and maybe list a reason or two why the Leafs will get smoked to reassure ourselves.

McDonalds Player

For a minute there, I thought the player in the McDonald's sweater was Wellwood. Looks just like him. My mistake.

thanks...

for making me hungry AND reminding me that I have like all of 2 dollars to my name right now. Mmmmm...burgers...
and I forget when/where we started referring to him as Make-a-Wish. Is Herpes too mean or something?

Yeah

I felt kind of bad because even though it's accurate it's kind of mean. No need to push Woz over the edge!

ENT SPG for Bruins game

Shot - Steen
Penalty - Kubina
Goal - Blake

by Evening News Team on Jan 17, 2008 4:30 PM EST reply actions

PPP SPG

Shot - Kaberle
Penalty - Make-A-Wish himself
Goal - The Captain

Reasons the Leafs will lose:
Steen has the flu - Hopefully it spreads.
Boston owns the Leafs - Makes sense this year.
Leafs hate the road - 6 straight losses.

MLB SPG

Shot - Blake
Penalty - Stajan
Goal - Stajan (for ld!)

Two Reasons the Leafs will lose:

We all decided on it

No one wins at anything in Boston anymore.

SPG from Domi

Shot:Blake
Penalty:Kubina
Goal:STAAAAJAAAN! (though I bet that if you did that to him in real life he'd punch you in the face or something)

Reasons the Leafs will lose:

@PPP: I like the flu idea.

We never ever win against Boston

Zdeno Chara will totally go Happy Gilmore on us, and we're no Bob Barker

Sir Make-a-Wish (and probably some other people) will still be looking at that photo for this post, wondering why Ian White looks so much bigger than he is.
