Hurricanes at Maple Leafs


Remember when the Leafs fell apart in the second period against the Hurricanes and fell short of a fifth comeback from down two goals? Well, here are the highlights from Sunday's game to refresh your memory. Take note of how likely a win would have been for the Cartford Whalercanes if not for Curtis Joseph's heroics.

REMEMBER YOUR SPG PICKS.

Star-divide

Courtesy of Sportsnet:

Forward Ryan Hollweg and defencemen Jonas Frogren and Carlo Colaiacovo are all healthy scratches for Tuesday night's game.

Yes folks, the Legend of Ian White's Stache skates on for one more game at least. The rest of the lineup is unchanged although both teams are putting in their real goalies which is a nice change of pace for the Leafs who were getting used to facing backups.

The Leafs' special teams were atrocious on Sunday so this is a chance to get them back on track. They were only 2 for 5 on the penalty kill (granted the empty-netter skews it a bit although it's still bad) which put a dent in their improving numbers.

And now, a public service announcement.

Sometimes, on-line, something will be written that hurts someone's feelings and rather than make a clever comeback they'll do this:

Crying_baby_medium

As an aside, more original thoughts from some North of the Border clowns. This time it’s Pension Plan Puppets, who have decided "No One In The South Cares About Hockey." It includes your standard fare: people in the South need bells and whistles to enjoy hockey, a Dale Earnhardt/NASCAR joke, the announcers stink, and — of course — "why didn’t the Leafs get more recognition."

Original one, guys. Keep up the hard work. In your honor, maybe we’ll do a "Where will Mats wind up?" post. Even better: how about a "No Stanley Cup in more than 40 years (and counting)" entry. You know, so we can come up with a new angle like you.

Canes Country

 Our reaction?

Two_clowns_medium
Why so serious?

So here's our apology: We are sorry that we hate the Hurricanes because Carolina stole Chemmy's favourite team when he was young and because your team stopped the Leafs in 2002 or because a bandwagon fanbase that couldn't tell a blue-line from blue balls (of course in the Carolinas your sister helps with the latter and prays that she doesn't see the former after she pees on a strip) has won a Stanley Cup while the mecca of hockey has waited patiently for one.

Our promise to you is that tomorrow we'll go above and beyond the low-hanging fruit. We'll even use small words so that your below the US median educated readers can follow along in the fun. But hey, at least you're not Missouri.

p.s. you spelled honour wrong.

Timmy Ho’s overrated… their coffee is cheap and that’s the only thing they have going for them, I don’t like it… the coffee at my office is the same thing and it’s free, and I like the fair-trade stuff much better even if it’s pricier. Their food is also overpriced and nothing spectacular.

I haven’t see on in my limited knowledge of taco places. Taco Villa, we have for sure. But I moved away from “Mexican” chain restaurants a long time ago.

Another expensive, but pretty good place is also smack down besides the Future Shop near Dundas square. Don’t know what’s it called, but they sell some massive burritos and sells lime-flavoured chips in a brown bag.

You may be right. There’s another good Mexican restaurant (I hear) right on the corner of Bathurst and Queen Street. I think its called Johnny Coco or Johnny Bananas, right beside the former Mr. Sub, now Starbucks.

Although Johnny Bananas could be a reference from a movie I internalized.

Too damned expensive.

Simply not practical for my massive eating habits, I would need 4 of their meals to feel remotely close to full and 40 bucks for a meal is too much.

There's a good Korean Place

At the chinese plaza/mall place on Finch and Leslie that my friends and I often go to, it’s good food and a good deal… they have a small limited menu and they give you the tamer Korean fare but we never complained.

And yes I’ve been to a few places in Korea Town in North York (Yonge and Finch area), I find it a hit and miss, equally good and bad places.

I like the first comment

I think it brings up an excellent point:

Essentially the point is, if supporting the Leafs through their suckage is a bad thing, why is a high-calibre reporter of Berger’s ilk still covering them? Shouldn’t he demand to cover a better team that actually wins? Shouldn’t he be ashamed that his job promotes such terribleness?

I think if he had any balls, he’d demand a trade and if refused, quit his job till they start playing better. To do otherwise is to be a loser, the like of which aren’t seen outside of Cubs fans.

best way to avoid the booze smell is flavoured liquers, raspberry vodka, peach shnapps, mint schnapps what have you, use them to bolster the alcohol percentage of your choice booze so you dont just smell the vodka/rum/rye

Yeah, the scent can be a bit of a giveaway. People in my class looked over and were all “Why does it suddenly smell all irish creamy here?”

Basically, Strach said Oren Koules went down to the dressing room and drew up plays, made PP suggestions, and just undermined Melrose’s authority. I actually think it’s possible, since TB is a circus, but Strach said it in a way that was without any tact or any semblance of truth.

And then everyone in Tampa called him a liar and Milbury ribbed him about it and Strachan got upset and went after the Yashin deal.
