Oilers at Leafs: Why is this on TV?

PrintYet again the Leafs are involved in a #29 vs #30 match. This is depressing. Jonas Gustavsson will start across from Jeff Drouin-Desl I'm not typing any more of that guy's name you know who I'm talking about.
Looks like the site's not exactly jumping on a rainy Sunday so I'm going to cut this preview really short.
An open letter to the Maple Leafs: win this game for the love of god.

Awesomeness
The chosen picture involves Rickard Wallin and Shawn Horcoff.
Pretty much tells the story of the two seasons

Let us watch the Habs, Pens or Capitals please!
Please stop inflicting the Leafs on Canadians. We deserve better, and after watching the Olympics, even more of us know it.
He’s a member of this blog, the Detroit one, and the Colorado one, and has made a single comment on each. I can’t see the other two but how much do you want to bet those are troll comments as well?

They always go down when the Leafs Aren’t playing.
It has only happened about 6 times total in the past 2 years but its consistent, in each instance they go down.
Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...
Unless you are in Alberta, Ontario or the Mountain region, you will see Habs-Bruins.
I think that this is a fair comment at this point in the season. The two worst teams in the league are not a compelling match-up. That said, we’ll have to look at the ratings in the morning to see which game did better.

Here in Cornwall
I get both Ottawa’s and Montreal’s CBC…so I can choose which game to watch.
For me it’s the Leafs, and then during the ad breaks I flip over to laugh at Montreal (hopefully). ;)

Open letter to Whiners
If you want the Leafs to stop appearing on CBCs Hockey Night In Canada, maybe you should do something about it. Bitching about the Leafs being on is not the right move. If you want different teams on, then you should ensure that as many people as possible are watching the other games.
Signed,

I used to have really brutal luck at the Madison. It’s always ridiculously crowded and I get thrown off.
Though, as I said, I haven’t been there in a long time, and my game has evolved 10 fold since then.
Last time I was there I definitely got a number of a girl I never, ever planned on talking to again.

Thoughts on Christian Hanson? I have not ever really had a chance to watch him much. Has his skating improved? Will he last as a Leaf?
by Pyramid Power on Mar 13, 2010 6:24 PM EST up reply actions
He is a beast on the fore-check and plays pretty physical
Doesn’t have the same scoring touch in the NHL as in the AHL – but then again he doesn’t have much in the way of linemates to work with
Projecting now as a third line guy – might be more there, time will tell

Hanson
Has excellent hockey hair and NHL ready fashion sense.
Oh, you mean as a player?
He’s not afraid to get his nose dirty and he does good work in the corners digging pucks out.
He’s not going to lead the team in scoring at any point, but he knows his role as a 3rd line centre and seems to really be making the most of the opportunity.

His hockey hair and fashion sense must be genetically inherited. Good DNA for Christian.
