Maple Leafs 3 v. Devils 0: WELCOME OUR NEW HOCKEY OVERLORDS
by PPP on Feb 2, 2010 9:27 PM EST
in Game Day Open Threads
Email
PrintDay one of the Phaneuf/Giguere Era began with a 3-0 Toronto Maple Leafs win over the New Jersey Devils. I'll have more to write about this game later on but for now let's just bask in the fact that for one night at least Brian Burke's makeover got the desired result. Jean-Sebastien Giguere picked up the shutout with 29 saves making him only the second goalie in franchise history to whitewash the opposition in their first game. The other guy? Eddie Belfour on October 10, 2002 in a 6-0 win over Pittsburgh.
Fredrick Sjostrom picked up an assist on the game winning goal by Nikolai Kulemin, Phil Kessel potted his third in two games after a great play by Tyler Bozak and Alexei Ponikarovsky before Francois Beauchemin unleashed a bomb from the point to seal the points.
For now, let's hear what you liked about the game!

BURKE IS LEGEND
Pumps out more male with one thrust of the pelvis than the United States postal service over the last 146 years.
A LEGEND. I LOVE THAT MAN. I LOVE NONIS, POULIN, ACTON AND EVEN PEDDIE AND TANENBAUM RIGHT NOW. ALL THINGS RELATED TO BLUE AND WHITE – LOVE! WE ARE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

I think Giguere and Beauchemin may very well have been good friends. Two Franco’s on the same team for years… I’m sure they’re happy to be back on the same side.
Fully agreed. I wonder if Phaneuf, Giggy and Beauch will form a happy version of our French Connection now. Hope they band together and play great.
by Pyramid Power on Feb 2, 2010 9:33 PM EST up reply actions
Is Phaneuf actually Franco, or does he just have a French name? He’s born in Edmonton, and has no discernible accent. Although that doesn’t prove anything.
It may be just a French name. Then again, I’m not sure if “caveman” is an actual accent or what

it is hard doing French here, because I can’t do accents in these boxes. But it’s MUCH better than my spoken french or understanding French spoken to me

Maybe your typing is just a bit rusty. I am trying so hard to remember the name of Vermont’s capital city. Burlington? Going way back here.
by Pyramid Power on Feb 2, 2010 10:13 PM EST up reply actions
Montpelier is the captial of Vermont, but it’s pronounced MONT-peel-yer and not mohn-peh-yay, like it’s French namesake. Burlington’s just the biggest city here.
and yeah, I am a bit tired, so maybe it’s my typing that’s bad. But I know I can’t do accents in online comment sections like this (I can do them in microsoft word, however)
I'll roll up on you smooth and punch you in the jeans
Excelent. Thank you. Big smile on my face right now. Montpeeelyer. Hilarious. Like Notre Dame. Love the pronunciation of that one too. Hanson from Notre Dame. Great to see how many people on these threads from all over the world. Leaf Nation is truly huge. Love it. You write French very very well by the way. Much better than I can ever hope to be able to do.

if I remember right, it's spelled differently
my high school french teacher had stores of when she first moved to the area and pronounced it the French way. People looked at her like she had three heads.
and thank you!

It definitely is Montpelier if that is what you are referring to. I well remember watching TV as a misguided teenager in Montreal as hearing it pronounced the way you pronounced it above. Way too funny. And you are welcome. De rien.

Mlle Domi. Why do you call yourself Loser Domi if I may be so bold as to ask?
by Pyramid Power on Feb 2, 2010 10:25 PM EST up reply actions
it's fine
It started as an inside joke between an ex-boyfriend and I. He wasn’t a hockey fan and Tie Domi was one of about 3 player he could name. He’s also the guy who introduced me to sports blogging in general, so when I decided to start writing, it seemed like a natural name because of a)the Leafs b) I like puns and c) I am a bit of a loser myself
I'll roll up on you smooth and punch you in the jeans
Aaahhhhhhh. I always assumed you hated Domi. Was puzzled. I did not think it was possible for a Leaf fan to think of Tie as a loser despite the Belinda Stronach shenanigans.
You are a bit of a loser yourself? I do not believe that for a nanosecond. Self-deprecating yes. Loser – mais non mon ami!
by Pyramid Power on Feb 2, 2010 10:30 PM EST up reply actions
I own a Domi jersey with a Captin C. A gift from the ex.
Besides, Winner Domi would have just been bragging and conceited. Loser Domi is an inherently funnier name
I'll roll up on you smooth and punch you in the jeans
I fully agree. Winner Domi definitely would have been lame. Loser Domi just gets Leafs fans thinking – does this person like our most awesome fighter ever besides Wendel? Very cool. Dummy Domi would have been interessant.

This sports blog is like a beautiful perfect drug for me. I love PPP. Was introduced to it by Puck Daddy after the stunningly awesome Montreal Canadiens eulogy they wrote last year. Didn’t even know much about blogs until then. Tres triste maintenant – cursed Canadiens beat the Canucks 3-2.

I think that Eulogy is the thing that Chemmy and I are most proud about.

And well you should be my friend. Well you should be. I publicized that eulogy to the max at P-Daddy and sent it to legions of Hab loving friends in Montreal. And of course Leaf loving comrades around the world particularly in Montreal. Outstanding. I still have it on file. I hope you have a doozy ready for them again this year although inshallah they will not make the playoffs.

We’re two for two on driving Habs fans insane. I hope that if they do make it they fail in another hilarious fashion.

Guaranteed they will fail. I read at the Gazette the other day that they have to go 17-9 the rest of the way. I seriously doubt they can do it with Cammy out. BUT they somehow miraculously beat the Canucks tonight. Shocks me. I am going to lose sooooooo much money to Montreal friends because of that. Big wagers on who will finish first in reg. season. Wow – did I ever shoot my mouth off before the season started about Toskalol rebounding, Beauch and Komi being great, our defence probably holding opponents to two goals a game max depending on the opponents etc….. Man, am I taking ultra heat for that shit now. Ouch!

I meant that I kept telling Puck Daddy that that eulogy was easily the best. Everyone knew it. I loved Puck Daddy until recently. The hatred for the Leafs posted there the past few days after these trades has made me decide to boycott that blog from now on. What is the point? Stay here with friends.

I read Puck Daddy but completely ignore the comments. Most of them are mouth-breathing idiots.

Agreed. Wysh is a Devs fan though – he was in Toronto recently as u probably know and didn’t do too well imo. But yes the comments from idiots have just disgusted me. Everyone crapping on the Leafs about these trades, it’s not only the contempt for the Leafs that I read but also us fans, the city of Toronto and everything remotely connected to Toronto and the Leafs. Outrageous. Makes me feel like the Americans did after 9/11 – bad comparison but when the Americans were wondering why do they hate us sooooooo much. THAT feeling. Ouch!

That’s also how I found this place. I read it and immediately had to find the source of this goodness. I sent a link to a family friend who’s a Habs fan, it was nice to be on the sending end of the joke for a change!

It’s amazing to think that only Poni and Kaberle (and to a lesser extent Keith Acton) are the only Leafs from the old guard that are still around. Way to go Burke, keep up the good work.

Really great to see him “step up” and perform when the spotlight is clearly shifting to some new and younger guys to provide the offence. It’s only one game, yadda yadda yadda, but I was so pleased to see him taking the puck with authority to the middle and driving toward the net. Very good omen, IMHO.

I’d take a 3-0 win over Exelby being traded for tonight.

Re: Giggy's Pads
I have a Canada poster from ‘02, I’m pretty sure Roy’s pads were about twice the size by the time he was in Colorado…. I don’t understand all the complaining by haters about Giggy and his pads.

Giguere’s pads look at least half the size of Roy’s. Look at the leg pads in particular…

Voracek, Torres, Brassard ALL -4.

Leafs Nation: A drinking team with a hockey problem.
Was this posted?
Sedins and the coach saying… Flames won the trade? and that stajan and hagman are better players?
is it that or were they just REALLY scared of… Phaneuf??
Yeah,
We already discussed this. Or at least, some of us did. I know I’ve seen it around here, somewhere. Someone else brought up the point that the Canucks don’t want to rile up a rival’s fan base by saying that the Flames got ripped off, and that they really were afraid of Dion all along.
Anyone else think Gillis is laying awake at night wondering how he can turn that interview into a tampering charge against the Leafs?
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
Canucks players were quoted discussing the merits of Leafs players in an article that was obviously read in both Vancouver AND Toronto.
ERGO this MUST be a fabrication designed to make Vancouver players believe a spot has opened up for them on the Leafs.
TAMPERING.

The word I keep hearing from a Canuck fan extraordinaire is that Louie can’t win games by himself. He just doesn’t have to suck for the Canucks not to lose. And this Canucks fan rolls out the stats about how Louie has never really done anything significant in his career. The numbers tell the story re Louie it would appear. Not that I can recall any right now. Just no there there apparently.

I see Dion possibly being our next captain.
Just thinking aloud.
I’m not ready to hazard a guess at his leadership capabilities. One game does not a captain make.
In the Name of the Holy Truculence
Agreed.
Just wondering Steve. Just wondering. If he stays long enough and plays well enough as in up to capabilities perhaps he will be our first Francophone captain ever. Just tossing that out there as food for thought.

Luckily Wendel was good at both.

If Dion can give this treatment
to our press we would mostly be happy for him to skip straight past the trying to talk stage…. He only needs to get as far as “yes Howard”
I just hope Dion isn’t a divisive force as was reported. Two factions in Calgary apparently – the Regehr faction and the Phaneuf faction. I hope that was not the case.
Even if that was the case, people change and mature. As an example I think it’s pretty obvious that has happened with Kessel. He’s still shy, but I haven’t seen the negative aspects of his personality that Bruins fans talked about previously.
In the Name of the Holy Truculence
Excellent point. Kessel has learned some lessons from his time in Boston imo. Bruin fans crap all over him at P-Daddy. He doesn’t deserve that at all. He has matured and will continue to mature.

In all honesty if I can’t make a legitimate go of being a sports photographer I plan on moving to New Zealand.

In all honesty Steve – good move! I pity students like yourself suffering as you do trying to pay your way out of a mountain of debt. In all honesty I never paid my debts back to OSAP – not a penny. Am I proud of that? Not at all. Just the way it worked. Pursue your dream in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch etc…… Good on you if you do that. But of course good luck being a sports photographer.

because of a mad game of Shinny at Riverdale, but sooooooooooo happy with the outcome.
Loving the Leafs is like being in love with a drug-addled, gambling addicted prostitute with a heart of gold and a bunch of humanitarian awards from her youth. It’s hard. It hurts. But dammit! I just love them!
