It has to be something simple...

that Joe Bowen wouldn’t come up with in his rambling descriptors of the goaltenders right before the game…

I vote for something like “legs” or “bootlegger” << which would be a direct reference to his modelling career… plus it brings in all sorts of imagery of rye running across the border… and protecting the economy of Canada by capitalizing on the downturn in the U.S.

The friendly giant? he’s pretty big… but not exactly gigantic.

Here’s something weird:

pogge
   /pɒg/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [pog]
–noun
a poacher, Agonus cataphractus, common near the British Isles and ranging north to Greenland and Iceland.
Also called armed bullhead.

So he’s a poacher??? seems fitting.

"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."

- Sir Winston Churchill

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Leafs.

Pogge's nickname

Hagman is Haggy; Ponikarovski is Poni (and I’m going to out on a limb and guess that it has nothing to do with S.E. Hinton); Stempniak is Stemper (not Distemper? C’mon!); Finger is Fings.

I’m guessing the best we can hope for is “Poges” or “JP”

In Sweden, Frogren was known as “Fridge”

I wonder..

Do you think that perhaps the Leafs got too used to years of excellent goaltending (Classic Cujo, Eddie) that now pretty much any goalie they get in there is just assumed to be awesome? Like, “come on, we have the goalie to fall back on! they always bail us out! Wait, who’s that guy in the net?” and not even the suck times of Raycroft and Toskala have shifted this view?

I’m guilty of it myself, I had thought Toskala was still good way past the point it was pretty obvious he isn’t..

by LeafFanInVan on Dec 23, 2008 7:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Well, I think we did get used to some pretty good goaltending but Leafs goalies over the last few years have been near the bottom of the league statistically. (Raycroft screaming “but…but…franchise record for single season wins!” in background

by Mirinov's Nose on Dec 23, 2008 8:03 PM EST up reply actions  

Yah, despite that sucking I’m thinking that leaf fans and possibly management still hang on to the idea that the goaltending is good, even when it isn’t. Like just by playing for the Leafs an average goaltender will become some kind of crazy acrobatic cujo/eddie/potvin hybrid. Sadly, that is not the case!

by LeafFanInVan on Dec 23, 2008 8:05 PM EST up reply actions  

Apparently the team got in incredibly late last night, so that explains the lack of everything.

I asked the same question at 4-0. If Toskala has a tender groin why leave him in for a blowout?

by general borschevsky on Dec 23, 2008 9:18 PM EST up reply actions  

Uh…. I quit on this game when it was 6-0, I decided cleaning the bathtub was more entertaining. Now I just need someone to start doing it so I could watch…

Seriously, the thing that really upsets me is that the Leafs can’t stay above .500 this season. They are like that person who wades in to the water too deep and doesn’t know how to swim. Go below for a couple of seconds, come up thrashing and gasping for air, but inevitably take another plunge. And it looks just as pathetic as the analogy. Fuckin drown already, cause you’re never getting out of the water!

Agreed, it's meant to be

I was going to use a drowning baby, but I figured that got across my frustration well enough.

This is not the score I was hoping to see when I got home,
Has it been as brutal as it looks?

Yes it’s been brutal. At times I’ve had to look away.

Frogren has been good tonight from what I’ve seen, he’s been tough to play against all night. Seems to be one of the Stars’ least favorite players tonight.

Trade Toskala, bring Pogge up for the rest of the season, DO IT NOW!

I’d rather they acquire some busted down oldster goalie to let goals in by the bucketload then put too much pressure on pogge too early.. Oh wait, we have cujo! Excellent!

by LeafFanInVan on Dec 23, 2008 10:18 PM EST up reply actions  

i think POgge and Cujo should split duties 50/50 and there should be no pressure on him cause its a rebuilding year

Getting shelled every night does wonders for the confidence.

this team doesn’t get shelled every night.
Last nights game was a one in maybe 5 game tops occurrence.

I hate the Leafs more than Mats Sundin tonight. Make of that what you will. Full (and hopefully hilarious) write-up tomorrow if these muscle aches and chills don’t turn out to be the flu

Perhaps your body is rejecting the suck that is the Leafs.

On a happy note, the Canucks were brutalized by the Sharks. It was damn ugly.
