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.
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:
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?
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.

How is possible that somebody announcing a Canes/Leafs game wouldn’t know how to pronounce “Kaberle”?

It's not their fault...

the hurricanes have a fan, who can run a blog. impressive.
this is like the sens fans getting their panties in a bunch over any perceived slight. Feel free to heap loads of scorn on the Leafs, but one slight joke and your inferriority complex shines right through…
goes to show, even fans of other hockey teams wish they were more like the fans of the leafs. we can take abuse from fans of other teams, our own team being crappy and asinine and insulting media coverage. We call that any day of the week…

And lest anyone say I can’t laugh at myself and my team, I’m putting it out here and now:
I’ll laugh at a ‘1967’ jokethe day I hear one half as funny as that Dale Earnhardt joke. I’m sure it is possible to make a funny remark about the Leafs, but peope keep doing it so half-assed, all we get in the end is the usual lameness that always comes from opposing fans. Yawn.
Try using your whole ass next time Carolina and see if you get better results. I’ll be waiting, though not holding my breath.

Their chicken is always so dry, I do not like their sauce.
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.

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.

Stainless steel water bottles work the same way. Last year, I brought mine full of baileys so we could ‘top up’ our drinks in the middle of class. It was the best class ever.

I must try this
also sprite and vodka in a nalagene bottle brings little suspicion (unless you’re like me and you like it kinda strong and people can smell it)

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?”
The worst was on St. Paddy’s when we filled our cups with vodka grasshoppers and went to class. I think they could smell it in the next building.

Sadly
I am old. This is me, back at school years later. And yes, I find the booze is very helpful in getting me through some of the classes. Plus, I figure why the hell not? I’m old enough to know better, but I’m still too young to care.

Did I ever say I wasn’t drunk before going to class? Hells no. My Irish heritage says I must be, and my Scottish heritage agrees with it in principle. That principle being that class is far more bearable with booze.

Everyone hates the Strach whenever you spend any amount of time with that hoser. You can see Lebrun physically squirm at the end of the table whenever Strach opens his mouth to talk.

his latest goof
will hopefully open him up to lots of ridicule and give milbury the opportunity to bring the hate. that whole Tampa Bay dressing room chaos BS has pissed off a lot of people, and made him look like a first class liar with zero credibility (not that he had any with me prior, but still…)

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.
by bkblades on Nov 4, 2008 5:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
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.
