Maple Leafs: Turn Head, Cough
by Greener on Oct 26, 2009 11:14 AM EDT
179 comments
As a doctor, I have devoted my life to ending the pain and suffering of those wretched souls who wander the world without hope, without direction. Choosing this path in life has brought me many riches; for example, it's how I met Chemmy. But now I want to put my powers to even greater use: I am going to help the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"But how?", none of you must be asking. How is Greener going to do it? Well, if I told you everything, I'd have to charge every one of you my full fee of $****.95 an hour, so I won't, but I will let you in on a little thing I use in my practice. It's a little wonder drug called POSITIVE THINK-ING! And just how am I going to do this for the Leafs? Well, I'm going to the Leafs/Ducks game today in Anaheim, and I will be personally instructing the boys on how to change the course of their season. I'll be going into the dressing room before game time. A cool guy I met online told me he'd bring me in. He said to come around to the back of the Honda Center around 6:30 where him and his friends will meet me. He said bring money, so that'll be cool. I love making new contacts!
So, a quick visual lesson in Change Your Perspective, Change Your Life™, by Dr. Greener, PhD, PsyD, SeXY.
So, in no particular order, come... enter my healing place.
I mean, right?!? Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you are already correct! You Leafs CAN win, because you WANT to win. Y...Y...You do want to win, right? Guys? *hilarious crickets sound*
God, it's funny cause it's true. The Leafs have lost everything, if "everything" means every hockey game in the 09/10 season. So that means, FREE PASS! You Leafs, to a man, are free to do absolutely anything. If by "anything" I mean beat the goddamn Ducks and let we, the lovers who love you, regain the ability to achieve an erection smile again.
What I'm saying here is that allowing yourselves to live in fear is WORSE than going out and facing up to the thing that you dread the most. In other words, going out there tonight and playing as hard as you can, throwing shot after shot at Ducks (hopefully) call-up goalie Justin Pogge is a lot better than waiting around for Brian Burke to call a meeting with you, Jason Blake, and telling you he's buying you a ticket to the Marlies. Did I say Jason Blake? That was a slip-up. I could have been talking about anyone.
So there you are, a quick lesson into how to make your life a success. I'm obviously living proof that it works. When you watch the game tonight, and Toronto is up by... uh... well let's just say when they're up, just look for the Leafs fan in the stands getting accolades from all his new chums. And when you spot me, just know that I'm thinking of all of you.

What do you mean by blacked out?
You absolutely 100% will not get any regional broadcasts (i.e., Leafs tv, Snet-O) iwthout Centre Ice. You will get only the CBC and TSN-National broadcasts. The Leafs website should indicate who the broadcaster is for each game and whether the game is nationally televised.

I liked “Haunted”, it’s a collection of short stories. I’ve said it here before but Palahniuk tries to be shocking to a fault, like how most movies with plot twists are boring because every movie has to have a big twist nowadays, but the short format allows him to get to his shocking point and move on without dragging it out.

I am getting a lot of comments as to why there is an image of a penis around the 0:52 mark. So to make it clear for everyone, the penis is a reference to earlier in the film when the “narrator” states that Tyler has a job at the movie theater and adds in splices or pornography when the film needs to be changed.

A pilot and his co-piot crash a plane into the runway tower. They then crawl out of the burning wreckage and climb into the cockpit of another, albiet bigger, better, more expensive, airplane. Yes the pilots are regarded as solid “avaiation” people, but that doesn’t stop the passengers on that 2nd flight from being rightfully concerned and nervous.
by general borschevsky on Oct 26, 2009 6:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
awesome. I understand everything now.
What if one of the pilots has piloted a stanley cup champion before…? and the other, made it to the finals but got out piloted by his rival pilot…. would that settle down the passengers a bit?

what if thats not the real story at all, what if….
the pilots were moments away from a deadly crash landing when suddenly the landing gear finally becomes unjammed! the landing gear drops just as the plane hits the runway, the co pilot then pulls off one of the most death defying maneuvers in aviation history and not only avoids the runway tower but somehow wins a backhander top cheese.

From a Canuck fan.
I really like Toronto’s chance here. I think being a former Burke / Nonis run team, you guys were prepared perfectly for last game. Hemmed us in almost the entire third period by barricading the sideboards Knowing we’d never attempt going up the middle. Incredible effort for a full 60 minutes. Byfar the best Leaf game I’ve seen them play this year.
I expect to see this again in Anaheim having inside knowledge of how to exploit a former team. Just hope Gus holds up.
