Leafs @ Avs: The Required Reading Edition

PrintToronto Maple Leafs at Colorado Avalanche, Jan 29, 2009 9:30 PM EST
Darcy Tucker, as always, makes for magical and hilariously inappropriate photo opportunities.
When did the Leafs and Avs play last? I'd approximate it was sometime when Luke Schenn was a sophomore, wait you call that grade 10 right? He probably had to read The Scarlet Letter. With some English teacher who flogged the symbolism of the rose bush and the meaning of "Pearl" senseless. What book was he reading? Oh, the Scarlet Letter. The Avs. Harlots. Hussies. Floosies. All of them! Especially you, Tucker. I have seen the photos.
As always remember to do those SPG picks. Jared can't win them all.
This is your game day thread. Discuss the game. Or tell me I got symbolism and motif mixed up. And I lack the whatever to appreciate literary classics...

thanks to NHL09 I have determined the Leafs need a goalie approximately 7 feet tall and weighing a hair under 300 lbs.

Is it an assignment, group project, or a paper?
And is your prof the sort you would dig that kind of thing or does he/she wear a cheesy sweater/tight-fitting sweater vest from the 1980s?

It's the little amusements in life
I tuned in and the first thing I hear the announcer say is, “Another guy who’d like a goal is Jamal Mayers, who hasn’t scored in 27 games.”
If I had a dollar for every game in section 333 in St. Louis where I heard, “Jamal’s so fast, he just needs to practice finishing”… Jamal is Jamal. Do not expect otherwise.

There’s still time. Is he still fast at least? He was a relentless checker and penalty killer in his day…

Schenn gets acquainted with Tucker briefly there. That would have been epic.

So....
…is it ever okay for us to hate Tucker? I’m not sure I could bring myself to do it.

I hated him his last year as a Leaf. Now, I’m completely indifferent.

This is why Tucker is better off away from Toronto.
He’s dumb enough to think that taking on Luke Schenn is a good thing.
Well therein lies the hypothetical...
…what if he tries to take out Schenn’s knees? What do you do?

Weird. Kaberle came out to shove Tucker. What don’t we know about the locker room?

This morning on the Fan they were talking about how much Domi and Tucker despised each other. That one was news to me.

Excatly. Tucker has that look of a guy who hasn’t gotten laid in a LONG time and is looking to expend that energy by tearing shit up

Also has not seen action in a while…..

Well I thought it was common knowledge that Tucker, Corson and Green were tight. Roberts didn’t like him (them), and to a less extent, Sundin and Niewy were more in the Roberts camp. Perhaps Kabby was in that clic too?

Yeah, I knew about that schism, but I would have assumed the two biggest meat heads (Domi and Tucker) would be in the same clique.
