Leafs @ Capitals: So Fetch!

I want Matt Stajan to glide in on a unicorn and score a hat trick and to possibly deliver puppies to sick children. I want Luke Schenn to hit a Capital so hard, that there is a pinata-like explosion. And I want somehow use the beauty and magnificence of Viktor Stalberg to create peace in the Middle East. I just wish I could bake hockey cupcakes for you all. What do you want?
Tonight the Truculent Maple Leafs will take on the Washington Capitals. I know right? They are such a skeeze. Whatever. I really hope Jonas Gustavsson is in net. Monster is flawless. I heard he does car commercials. IN JAPAN. I saw him wearing army pants and flip flops so I went out and bought army pants and flip flops. One time, he met John Stamos on a plane. And he told him he was pretty!
Who here has personally felt victimized by Alexander Ovechkin?

Only if your team doesn’t get at least their games covered. The coverage in Washington on CSN is actually pretty good (Heck, they even have a TV show, and we really like our color guys. We despise our local networks, though, as they don’t cover for crap.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
I'd like to know how good Blues coverage is locally
but being in Utah, I only get Avs coverage. Yawn.
Just helping you out, my man!

They don’t have that quite right. He hasn’t lost in reugulation in 14 games. I wrote about this in my post:
His record over those 14 games is 4 wins, 1 OT win, 2 Shoot-out wins, 4 OT losses, 2 Shoot-out losses, and one no-decision.
The “no-decision” should actually count as a loss. He was pulled after 4 goals in a 6-4 loss to TB. Because the Leafs came back to score 4 and Cujo let in the 5th and 6th goals, Joseph is the losing goalie on record. So that’s a really iffy 14 games without a regulation loss.

Greetings everyone
We didn’t have our best games against the hated Canadiens, but we’ll be better against Ovechkin and his Red minions. The Capitals seem to dabble in the “Communist” agenda, so we’ll be the hammer and sickle tonight and get them familiarized.

Based solely on the excellence of my pre-game meal, I’m predicting a narrow win for the good guys.
"We've had an ongoing problem with Grabovski this year." Bob Gainey, 4/04/09
As one of the bad guys, if we base it solely on pre-game meals, I had Taco Bell, so you’ve likely got us beat in round one.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
I believe around the same time the game is over, your team is not going to be only one sad and/or suffering. :)

Unfortunately, this has been used against my advantage, as in a passive aggressive way for someone to say “oh, this isn’t NEARLY good enough for ME, so YOU eat it”, kinda way

A Message from Viktor Stalberg
Hey everyone!
I know game 1 didn’t quite go the way we all wanted, but it was a great learning experience for me personally, and it was great to get my 1st NHL point on Matt’s 2nd goal of the night. Despite the overtime loss, we all really came together as a team and proved that we’re ready to back up our tough talk. Yes, tonight will be a challenge, facing Ovechkin and all, but our team is built with players who are used to overcoming any challenge that lays before them. We’re going to do our best tonight, win, lose or draw.
Thanks so much for your attendance in tonight’s GDT, I look forward to your support, all-caps celebrations and sanppy one-liners.
Sincerely,
Viktor.

That’s OK – get someone to bring you some. If our dumb-shit goalie keeps playing like this, we’re all going to need it.

Then go to Washington, get drunk and do something to distract Ovechkin et al. And maybe do something to Toskala as well.

So would it be sufficiently truculent to shoot fucking Toskala?

No, no, I think he’s getting enough of that from Washington. He needs a new team: the Marlies.

We get to watch the power play…
someone better score(not washington)

where’s Joey McDonald when we need him…. he used to be an Islander … he must be used to getting bombed and still turning up for more full frontal assault

wouldn’t you kinda expect him to be sorta the second fiddle guy … and a bit undersized?

we are getting bitchslapped by a superiour team.
Honestly, tho, what did we expect? We aren’t icing an all star lineup

It should be 1-0 right now. That’s what I expect. And I expect our team to hit more than this.

It’s not unreasonable to expect your goalie to stop SOME shots. Preferably 90% of them.
by Long Armed Panda on Oct 3, 2009 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions
yes, but you have to remember, our goalie is Toskala

So anywhere between 50-80% is acceptable for being the starter.
by Long Armed Panda on Oct 3, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions
If your goalie stoppped .900 of the shots he saw he’d be one of the worst starting goalies in the league.

not if we only allowed 20 shots on goal a nite, instead per period

Huh? The Leafs do a good job limiting shots on net.

I EXPECT that eventually we’ll ice a competant goalie. We aren’t an all-star lineup, but having someone backstopping that knows what he’s doing wouldn’t hurt.
by Blue and White Expat on Oct 3, 2009 7:52 PM EDT up reply actions
Not when the defense is playing like crap and the offense can’t get quality shots off. How is it that Tosk is always getting hung out to dry, and it’s always his fault?
THE FIRST SHOT WAS FROM FIFTY FEET AWAY
HIT HIM
AND WENT IN THE NET

The Leafs were run out of the building right from the start. They’re getting outhit, outchanced, outscored. The energy isn’t there, giveaways aplenty, and the Leafs have been atrocious defensively.

Maybe if the Leafs let Toskala get shelled he’ll stroll by Tannenbaum, swear he’ll never play for the Leafs and demand a trade.
It’s the closest he’ll ever get to being compared to Patrik Roy.

The only difference will be that Tannenbaum – and everyone sitting near him when Vesa issues his ultimatum – will immediately leap to their feet and begin celebrating…
