Maple Leafs 5 at Canadiens 2: The Mob Buries the Habs

PrintI guess it's true what they say about Alex Ponikarovsky: You cannot hope to stop Poni you can only hope to contain him. The Habs fans should be delighted that their team were able to hold him to only two goals and two assists. Not to mention that hearing the boos cascade over Mikhail Grabovski as he notched four points was hilarious. And the Russian trio was rounded out by new father Nikolai Kulemin who potted a goal and an assist. The Habs haven't had as much trouble with The Mob since...well, since a couple of weeks ago. Who knew that if two Russian on one line was a good thing that three Russians would be a great thing? And yes, they were all born when the USSR still existed so calling them Russians is okay. Plus, it kind of makes the Leafs like the Red Wings.

Nothing is a sweet as the misery of the Habs
The game was wonderful. I would have loved to been in the arena to really feel it. Nothing is better than being a Leaf fan in Montreal after a game like that one.
Running over terribleness in search for something positive about the Leafs. Anything? Anyone?!

I will try to use this power only for good, but I make no promises.

Oddly, I can even envision the box. And Wendel does a nice job as celebrity spokesman.

Damn right
I was strutting my stuff downtown with my Leafs jersey on all night. Yesterday was my Christmas.
i’m from halifax, ns and i drove up to montreal to see this game. it was my first time seeing the leafs play live.
i went by myself and was sitting in a sea of red.
i don’t think i could have asked for a better outcome.
That is amazing! Good on you.

I'm saying this as a Leafs fan:
BOTH of Lapierre’s goals were awesome.
Almost as awesome as Grabbo making Halak look (as previously stated) like Jim Carey Price xD
PONI
REMEMBER F**K TANK NATION?
LAST NIGHT WAS FOR HIS BEEOTCH ASS.
PONI IS A GOD DAMN BEAST. 53 POINTS, 21 GOALS, ALL FOR LIKE JUST OVER $2 MILLION DOLLARS. WHAT A MAN. WHAT A HERO.
LIKE SEINFELD’S MOM WOULD SAY: HOW COULD ANYONE NOT LIKE HIM?

PLAYOFFS!!!!1
the best thing about Poni, is how much he has stepped up without Antro around anymore. Anyone who thought he’d fold with out his buddy, is seeing him rising up to fill that void.

Here’s a thought – If Antropov continues to play well for the Rangers, and next year he does re-sign with Toronto, do you guys think that both he and Ponikarovsky will be better off for the experience of playing separately and having different experiences than they would have had they both stayed together on Toronto?
It might turn out to be a good experience for both of them.

Definitely
It’ll give Wilson options in putting the lines together as well.

there was too much to enjoy about last night’s game, i can’t pick just one favourite memory.
i can’t wait for the DVD comemmorating the Habs 100th anniversary. it’s going to be the best DVD of all time.
Yesterday was my favourite Leaf game in a long, long time. Does this mean I’m becoming like an Ottawa Senators fan??
Did you feel a need to celebrate your inherent righteous superiority based not on your own achievements, but entirely on the failures of others? Then, ya, you might be going in that direction.
If, on the other hand, you were happy because our players showed heart and character in defeating a division rival, well, I don’t think that has anything to do with being a Senators fan.
