You know Vesa...when we said rally caps...actually - never mind. G'wan yerself, young man.

Oh we of little faith. The super duper soaraway shootout win over the Capitals is reviewed by Rock outta SoCal, Norman James Sports, Kavel's comics, Jared in ten words or less, Fallen Leafs , The Hockey News and Japers Rink for an opposing view. Extra special opposing view action, kindly brought to you by friend of the show, Sleza.
News from the Ricoh - not so good. Marlies go down 6 - 3 against the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Toronto Sports Media on Saturday's circling sharks. Tooting a slightly different tune today, perhaps?
A plea for youth, from the Hot Stove Massif.
Hockeycentric with the drop on some buds in the system.
Finally - a Leaf based contribution to the 27% of the Internet made up of Hitler based videos, this time brought to you by Toronto Mike.
Kindly waiting a day so I'd have another link to throw at you, Loser Domi has her Youtube Yoinkery on hand.
We'll finish on an officiating note - The Fanhouse intending to blow (easy at the back, there), The Hockey Writers on hitting from behind (no really, I must insist on calm here!) and mc79hockey with Ron and Grapes 'discussing' a bit of knee on knee action.

I love the smell of victory first thing in the morning

I still can’t believe Vesa Toskala played so well last night. Can he do it again against the Islanders tomorrow night?

how many Islanders are injured or sick?

In related news, I went to the game friday night against the habs and the habs fan behind me didn’t know how long a hockey game was. They had a jersey and everything!

I know I've been fooled by this before...

but is Allaire getting through to Toskala? This is the most decent games I’ve seen him string together as a Leaf.

Maybe it’s the remnants of the rum from last night talking though, who knows.

I sure hope so

It’d also be nice if those painful first games he played was just a slow start after his surgeries.

We can all hope. I’d like to see some more of this confidence before im ready to come back on board the vesa wagon

Im really glad i went to the open practice in the morning and stuck around for the washington skate. I managed to heckle Varlamov just enough to get him off of his game. :)

And the only cap who wasnt a dick and would sign some autographs for the kids was Green.

It was great to see Vesa play well, I felt bad for him as he got a bit of the bronx cheer in the morning at the open practice. Hopefully he doesnt embarass the shit out of himself anymore this season, but im not holding my breath.

I was really glad to see Wallin out of the lineup, the 4th line looked much better with Orr -Primeau-Mayers
