S*ns at Leafs

PrintApologies for the profanity in the title I didn't want it to be terribly vague; "loser team from shit hole city comes to glorious capital of everything that's good in this world". The Ottawa S*nators are in town tonight meaning their usual collection of pillow soft gutless pukes are quite possibly skating on our home ice right now. Despicable. I'd advocate welding the doors shut and burning the ACC down if we could get everyone who works there and is involved with the Leafs out without the S*ns noticing.
Gustavsson is out but due to return in the middle of this week. Aside from one weak goal on Saturday Toskala actually kept the Leafs in a game with timely goaltending. He'll get the start tonight and has to know that fucking it up now means Gustavsson will get all the playing time he could want.
Pascal Leclaire is still out after God punished him for playing for Ottawa, meaning we'll see Brian Elliott in net tonight:
That's a face made for radio. Hoo-boy.
I really wish we had a phrase for "must win" in the sense that I despise Ottawa and can't stand that we haven't annihilated them and eaten one of their players' children at center ice without the annoying "must win" stigma. You know what I mean, the Leafs probably aren't a playoff team and yet they've played 30 must win games already this season. I'm thinking of a new term I'll get back to you all.
Until then this is the weakest team the Leafs are going to play in the next two weeks, let's build some momentum heading into games with Phoenix, Buffalo and Boston. Don't forget your SPG picks, check out the Battle of Ontario and Silver Seven Sens for more coverage and go Leafs go!

Ottawa has a Brodeur. Why doesn’t Cory Clouston play him?

Key to tonight’s game:
Do not disturb Kovalev.
Don’t touch him. Don’t talk to him. Do not even look in his general direction.
He got a hattrick on Saturday, and should cruise until Christmas now. Unless he is woken up.
DO NOT DISTURB TEH KOVALEV!
Resident Capologist
That’s my fault. I dropped Kovalev in fantasy hockey and his first game he gets a hat trick.
I took one for the team and picked him up again AND sat a useful player so that Kovalev will be in my lineup to play terribly.

This might be the week we gain some ground
SNES and Habs both get to face basically the same teams: Montreal gets Buffalo Tonight, New Jersey Wednesday, Minnesota Thursday and the Islanders Saturday. Buffalo and New Jersey will beat them for sure, and Minnesota gets the Habs on a back to back. SNES have to Deal with us tonight, Buffalo on Wednesday, The Devils on Friday and the Wild on Saturday. Unless the Hab-Nots and SNES can somehow beat New Jersey and Buffalo, they might have a chance. And the fact that the Wild get both of em on B2Bs, We can gain some ground (assuming we can win more games than the Hab-Nots and SNES) on both of them

Ottawa has a disproportionately high number of unisex hair salons. That’s one of the hallmarks of a shit hole town.
They call me Splodeybones.
Another sign is their hirings and signings tend to be from hayseed towns like Shawville and Flesherton.

Luke Schenn won’t play again tonight. Ron Wilson sticking with the same lineup.

Like I said earlier, you have to reward the players that won the game. Only fair
Fairweather fans can go to hell
exelby didnt win the game, he just happened to be in the line up when they won
he was terrible last game as per usual, just because everyone else played well shouldnt get him a spot

He was still part of a winning lineup. It’s a morale issue there. Schenn should know that when they won, he wasn’t coming back in.
Fairweather fans can go to hell
yup – accountability – once you’re out, you have to earn your way back in, you can’t expect to be in just because you’re better than a guy who is playing.

I have not noticed too much of XLB since he’s been in the line up. That’s a good thing.
Not saying he’s the best choice, but he seems to have become a whipping boy, regardless of how he plays.

by blurr1974 on Dec 14, 2009 12:00 PM EST up reply actions
Me neither.
One game was enough, I think. Garnett Exelby is not better than Luke Schenn.
Boo hoo!
by Chris Stoikoff on Dec 14, 2009 11:52 AM EST up reply actions
I would agree that Luke Schenn is superior to Garnet Exelby.
But I do think that continuing to sit Mr. Schenn is a good idea. Young players sit all the time.
The fact that everybody is getting their tits in a knot about this is a testament to the fact that it’s been a long time since we’ve had a high-profile young player in this town.
Schenn will play again, but it will be because the team needs him int he lineup, not because his name is Luke Schenn.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Fuck no. XLB just plain fucking sucks. I think the majority of us here at PPP could play better defense than he does. And I’m not joking.

Dude, we all love Schenn, but have you been watching a different game than us this year? He hasn’t been all that physical this year

I agree
but there have been times where he was physical. Just ask Jon Sim. Oh well.

I do agree with you there. Just that saying that without Schenn, they are not gonna be physical is crazy

oh, yeah, that is quite true, if there is one thing exelby does well it is be physical
in fact, that IS the one thing exelby does well

I don’t see how playing Schenn makes any sense at all.
He’s supposed to be a physical, shutdown defeseman. But he isn’t being very physical, he isn’t shutting anybody down, and his play with the puck is shaky.
i disagree on that respect, other than the last Bruins game (where he was god freaking awful) Schenn has recently looked like the player of last season, confident, physical and making crisp smart passes and even some decent shots

The problem some people have with sitting Schenn
is that they might have to admit he won’t be the next coming of Adam Foote
That isn’t to say he won’t be a good NHLer, just that some people need to stop chirping he should play because he’s “going to be great someday”
i have no problem with schenn sitting, he deserved to be sat one game. I just think he is the type to “get it” after the one sit down, and that him over Exelby is a solid choice.
But then Im not an NHL coach, so ill concede to Wilsons decision, even if I dont like it

Thanks for having me!
I used to fantasize about the S*ns team bus being hit by a train. But locking the doors and burning down the ACC shows true spirit. I am almost ashamed to call myself a fan.
You are truly a role model for Leafs Nation.
It would truly be a noble sacrifice. Plus the NHL replaced our Cup banners after Ballard I’m sure they’d give us a third set.
