Preview: Panthers at Leafs

BOO THIS MAN
The Panthers are two points ahead of Toronto, with a 17-16-6 record to Toronto's 16-17-6 record. I'm sure a lot of you feel like the Florida Panthers are Toronto's wimpy kid brother who we kick around (From our SBNation news ticker: Toronto has won four of five and 10 of the last 13 meetings.) and give our garbage like McCabe, Kilger and Wade Belak. Sometimes our garbage doesn't even report to Florida but Florida still gives us Mike Van Ryn. That's true familial love.
Bryan McCabe had a rough go of it last year, and by "a rough go of it" I mean that he gets paid millions of dollars to play hockey don't feel sympathy for him when he screws up. Ditching McCabe for Van Ryn was a beautiful move, most notably because Mike Van Ryn is both better and cheaper than McCabe, and he doesn't hold his hands up like a goof every time he cross checks a guy without the puck while standing next to the ref. In other news I'm almost 100% sure that eyebleaf is JFJ.
Hopefully McCabe works his magic and scores on Vokoun to make it easier for the Leafs to climb to .500. On the injury front, LUKE SCHENN is back in the lineup tonight.
PPP Update: Eyebeleaf has made the Miamians (Miamites?) angry.
Also, here's McCabe's year so far:
Oh hey, look who cares enough about hockey to play like an NHLer again!

my goal is to actively ignore McCabe’s presence. So unless he scores on a cross crease pass (like you wouldn’t believe) or body checks the net. I probably won’t notice him

Raycroft sucked in a Leafs uniform. Always. Period, full stop.
Fuck him and his 37-win season.
McCabe had some great years in Toronto, including some great playoff runs.
You remember those playoff runs, don’t you? You remember how wildly you once cheered for McCabe right?
Boo the man if you want, but don’t tell me he didn’t have a better Leafs career than Andrew “I’m happy with my season even thought I was pulled in the final most important game of the season” Raycroft.

Raycroft’s first couple of games were quite good. Had a .951 save percentage going into game three, IIRC.

google couldn’t find me a pic to prove this theory, however, about 5 pages into the search results was this gem….

Didn’t Zezel have some sort of medical issue that caused him to get so big?

I’d feel like an asshole making all of those “no, that’s not Peter Zezel, that’s the guy that ate Peter Zezel” jokes.

Doesn’t really matter to me, Zezel is in my pantheon of awesomeness. He could be 600 pounds, he’d still be the greatest faceoff guy of all time.

wikipedia confirms...
“In 2001, Zezel was almost killed by the rare blood disorder hemolytic anemia, but has made a full recovery.”

In trying to look up info on Zezel, I found this on wiki:
Zezel’s career would end controversially at the trade deadline late in the 1998–99 season. Zezel’s niece Jilliann was terminally ill with cancer in Toronto, and Zezel requested a trade from the Canucks (who were far out of the playoff race) to an Eastern Conference team so he could be closer to his family in their time of need. Instead, Vancouver General Manager Brian Burke dealt him to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, the furthest stop from Toronto in the league. Zezel promptly retired from the NHL and returned home, with Burke and Canucks’ management receiving heavy criticism from a media and public sympathetic to Zezel’s situation and for the callous way he was treated.
What an ass!

Take now Kaberle and Kubina. You could end up traded to Omsk if you aren’t careful.

Funny Peter Zezel Story
My friend Jason and I went to a Leafs alumni game, and Peter Zezel (among others) was available to sign autographs afterwards.
We made our way over to him, and Jason starts making conversation while Zezel is signing.
J: “Wow, Peter Zezel! You were always a big part of my NHL 95 Season on Super Nintendo!”
P: “Oh really? Thanks!”
J: “Yeah, trading you away was always one of the first things I did”
P: “Traded me? Why?”
J: “You were rated like 54! What was I supposed to do? Let Wendel waste away with you on the Checking Line?”
P: “Here’s your jersey back. Thanks for coming”

There’s a medical condition associated with Zezel. Not sure what it is.

Zezel. That was out of left field. Hadn’t heard that name in 15 years.
Think I’ve got about 19 of his Pro Set 91-92 cards.
Right idea, wrong card.

I grew up across the street from the Zezels, about 15 years ago his sister bought a house just down the street and last I heard his parents still live in the same house (although his Dad would likely be pushing 80 at this point).
Peter was a really great guy – used to give out free tickets to the Marlies every week when he played for them (Greens, but still). I think I was in grade six or seven when he was drafted by the Flyers and the following season all of the young kids that grew up around him got #25 Flyers jerseys from Pete.
Story I’ve told a million times: Wendel Clark billeted with Peter’s parents during his rookie year.
