Flyers at Leafs: The Broad Street Boarders Come to Town

PrintWith the Leafs officially eliminated from the playoffs, I'd call tonight a success if none of our prospects get killed by the always classy Philadelphia Flyers. I would also consider it a success if someone in the TSN booth pulls a Jack Edwards and begins laughing maniacally.
I'd be absolutely delighted if the Leafs came out and absolutely hammered the Flyers. I think we all remember Tucker's hit on Kapanen in 04, Potvin punching Hextall in his bald head, and Tie Domi letting Philly fans know the glass in the penalty box is there to keep him away from them, not the other way around.
In a somewhat stomach churning move, Tomas Kaberle is ready to come back tonight to defend against Jeff Cart- nevermind. I'm accepting bets on how badly he gets injured tonight. Send me an email if you want to lay down some serious dollars.
This is probably a stupid move. There are only six games left in the season but maybe Kaberle is trying to show the younger guys that you come back and play the whole season no matter what. Maybe this stunt will increase his draft day trade value. We could speculate all day.
Previous Matchups:
What it comes down to is this; as much as I want the Leafs to get a higher draft pick I absolutely hate every single team they play for the rest of the year. Leafs fans might not be able to celebrate a playoff spot, but I want to be able to celebrate two wins against a team that reads "Bobby Clarke's Board Your Way to Success" every morning before the pre-game skate. Get it done Leafs.

I still have intense hatred for the Flyers after that last playoff series…

Whats the word on goaltending?
Cujo backed up by Healy?
Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option
Man that seems like the longest 3 game suspension ever for the Gerbster. Guess it was the long break since the last game that made it feel that way.
I think the equipment manager deserves the shot over Healy!
Gerber power!!!1
they should build a backup out of pylons and Duct tape
oh wait, he’s in Colorado right now

Nice.
Best PPP comment of the day. You could call it “Son of Raycroft”.
The only thing as good as a Leafs win is a Sens loss.
i should flag Jared’s comment as offensive to duct tape. “Son of Raycroft” bleeeccch
Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing
he uses it to cover his eyes, flying pucks are scary!

Seeing as I don't get TSN,
I’m thinking of catching the game at Champs (mmmm, best wings in Peterborough). Maybe KJ will show up and we can plot some complex April Fool’s joke on Godd.

The fun thing about LeafNation
Is that there’s at least one highly devoted fan of every single player to don the Blue and White for the last 25 years. Regarding Kabby, I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for him to say “fuck it” and play like a demon just because he’s a Leaf. Personally, I’d get a huge kick out a forward line with him, Ian White and Ponikarovski. That would be fun to watch.

I laughed maniacally
when that fan fell into the box with Domi. I’d love to know what he was thinking the moment he felt the glass start to fall away.

It probably started with an “f” and rhymed with “fuck”.

I think I probably laughed harder when Domi, rather than just hold the guy down, started pummelling him. I definitely did not expect that.
Then he sued! What a clown.

Nice Watchmen reference
40 years we've stayed loyal, waited, and pained. That is the honor of being a Leafs' fan.
This is the last game I get to see this season. Unless we make the playoffs…
I’d like a win.

The habs won last night, meaning the Leafs are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs….
A win would be nice, since this games on TSN and I can watch.
