Maple Leafs Fan Cheering Guide - Feb. 14th

Today is Valentines Day, and if the rest of the league loves the Leafs as much as we all do, then they'll make sure the other games tonight so according to plan.

Ottawa Senators (-1.2) at Tampa Bay Lightning (+1.4)

Failing to pick up a W and pass the Senators last week, the Leafs get another chance to do so tonight with a win in the Saddledome and a Senators loss in Tampa. Let's hope Steven Stamkos goes full Rocket Richard tonight and that Craig Anderson goes full Craig Anderson.

New Jersey Devils (-0.4) at Buffalo Sabres (+0.6)

With a game in hand on the Leafs, the Devils are a real threat to the Buds' Playoff hopes. Hopefully the Sabres forget that at this point their season is over, and go about screwing up their lottery pick by playing their guts out and beating the Devils tonight. It also helps that Ryan Miller has seemingly returned to form and Martin Brodeur is a shell of his former self.

New York Islanders (+0.8) at Winnipeg Jets (-0.5)

A win by the Isles tonight and they vault they push the Montreal Canadiens down to 12th or 13th (with a Tampa win tonight as well). Now that's something we can all cheer.

And lastly Toronto Maple Leafs (+6.1) at Calgary Flames (-7.6)

The Leafs need to put the brakes on this skid and get back in the win column. Hopefully the rash of injuries to the Flames makes doing so a little easier. Go Leafs Go!

Must win?

At least it's not Lebda.

YES

All games… plus winning is more fun than losing….

"There's been four different Cup winners the last four years, and I got one of them (Anaheim) and it was a fighting team. We're playing it that way regardless." - B. Burke, Toronto Maple Leafs GM

also, we lost to two teams we should have beaten. Now we have to beat two we shouldn’t beat. Which sucks because we almost did that in Philly.

by Goosemonster on Feb 14, 2012 2:10 PM EST up reply actions  

I say a must win just to keep panic from ripping the dressing room apart. We’re only a point behind our “schedule” to hit 93 points.

Leafs need a strong effort to make up for last week

and you thought it was over...

Plus, the bubble teams are doing their darndest in the east to not even get to 93 points.

it’d be good but we gotta aim higher, because lord knows we’ll lose to some terrible team again.

Given the next game is tomorrow night against a rested Oilers in their own barn… yeah, I’m really not liking the chances tomorrow unless Reimer puts on a show.

So, apparently I can now be followed.. but no stalking. @alsonamedphil

I’m really sick of ‘overanalyze everything and be a Debbie Downer’ mode. I’d much rather go back to ‘epic GIF party’ mode.

Let’s win this one.

Do the links on players names happen automatically? Or do you manually add them. (For example, the link to Ryan Miller).

I usually don’t talk with my sports gut until it’s been fed at least 2 beers.

Sadly, due to a cold, and my desire to consume alcohol at tomorrow’s game and in Mexico thereafter, I’m forcing myself to take the day off drinking for tonight’s game.

Makes sense. The only problem with that strategy is that, after 3 days of not drinking, you’re going to be a big lightweight your first night back to drinking.

I’m a little worried about Komi-Liles. Komi’s been jumping into the rush a lot this year and I’m not sure it’s good to pair him with an offensive d-man.

All the Calgary folk talk about how the beer at the saddledome gets you ‘extra drunk’ and it must have heroin in it… I just think its because it doesn’t taste good

by Dr_Furious on Feb 14, 2012 5:39 PM EST up reply actions  

I thought the expression was about how much the damned stuff costs … and that a person could get high on heroin for those prices…

Drunk on watered down Canadian? Or worse, Budweiser? I respect myself too much for that.

Unless someone else is buying of course!

probably a little of both? Spending most of my summers drunk at the Skydome, I have yet to encounter expensive beer at Calgary sporting event.

by Dr_Furious on Feb 14, 2012 5:57 PM EST up reply actions  

I went to a Phillies game last spring with my friend and his boss, who offered to pay for our beer. I couldn’t believe he thought it was okay to pay $7.25 for a bottle of Budweiser.

I managed to get drunk anyway so it all worked out.
