Is it me or is Reimer acting like a slinky tonight? Man, he is good!

[Pyramid Power]

Amazing saves by Jimmy. Amazing miss by Nazem. Gotta bury that dude.

[Boo Who?]

It's cool, it's cool. We're still in this.
My favourite little Jedi is on the case, thank God.
These US announcers are gonna sprain something with all this relentless enthusiasm.

[Sensi-Bill]

3-1 Yeah!!!
.
WAIT A MINUTE!!!!
.
What the H-e-doublehockeysticks have I been thinking?
.
We (Sens fans) want the Avs to WIN!
.
DUH! Here the heck has my head been. Must have been distracted or something.
.
My team is in one of those odd reverse races --- trying to end up LOWER in the standings than another team, in this case Denver. I got confused and thought I should be cheering for the Avs to lose, and thus the Leafs to win.
.
(puts down pom-poms)
.
Sorry folks. It was fun while it lasted but I have to rescind my GO LEAF, GO cheers.
.
At least I WON'T cheer GO (you-know-who), GO! here --- or say it anywhere for that matter.
.
Darn, I was enjoying being able to cheer for the Leafs for a change.
.
(embarrassed soft smile)

[xpander]

.........kadri you gotta bury those

[Wandering Penguin]

Would somebody care to take a shot at explaining to me what exactly constitutes "Goalie Interference"? Somebody not with the NHL, that is, because I know THEY don't have a clue.

Looks like the officiating tonight is rounding nicely into post-season form.

[Wandering Penguin]

@VM: sorry I misled you. I meant to say "can't stay LONG". TV is on a whole 'nother floor of this place. Don't want to miss the game...but couldn't hold my tongue about that goal. Off again. Back later.

[Pyramid Power]

It is as you said Moe. Nasty has to earn that nickname. He certainly did not do so on that glorious chance. Find a way to get the puck in the net Nazem!

GO LEAFS GO!

[moe green]

What is with all this sloppy play?

[Sue]

@Sensi-Bill - pls keep cheering! We won't tell anyone!

[Boo Who?]

Leafs had better win this one!! Otherwise, this will be a total waste of pompoms.

[TimB]

I don't mind the pompoms so much,but this skirt makes me look fat.

[Pyramid Power]

Phew! So glad to get out of the second with a lead. Not playing as well as need to play. Losing faceoffs, not controlling the play in the neutral zone, not clearing the net like we should, relying too much on Jimmy etc........

Am looking at Kool to grab a hattie in the third. Or Philthy. Philthy where have you gone man? Lupul? I do not see you guys out there doing anything useful.

Note to Sensibill: I was brought up in Ottawa as a young child watching the Leafs with my grandfather. You need to come over to the blue and white light my friend. Come on over man. It is clear to me that you want to do so. Do it. Please.

[Peter]

Wow, Boston 7-0 against the Habs. beatiful.
now if only the Leafs could do this tonight. only one to go... fingers crossed.

[Sensi-Bill]

*whispers*
.
for you Sue, OK. *smile*

[Sensi-Bill]

(for Sue and ONLY certain others)
.
*whispers* go Leafs, go.

[moe green]

I'd like to see Kulemin open the third with a couple quick ones. Boy it IS nice being prettier. It's little too nice. Like this one time, when I was in Amsterdam...

[TimB]

Only one line firing on all cylinders tonight and Jimmy should be aces in any shootouts.

[Pyramid Power]

Geoff, Princess and other Canadiens fans: How y'all feelin' about your squad's chances in the playoffs now? Not looking good. Not tough enough, not strong enough, not playoff ready. And no scoring.

Two games+ plus now without a goal. Blame the injuries if you want but they are little dudes playing in a dangerous rink. Jesting but they aren't a very good team. Finished 19th last year overall. Should not have made the playoffs. They did and they did well

They had their two little miracles over Washington and Pittsburgh last year. There will be no miracles this year mes amis. One and done. Sorry. Je suis vraiment desole pour tous les fanatiques des Canadiens.

[Boo Who?]

You guyssss....you GUYS. You guys!

Big pompom-assisted cheers for two of my favourite posters, going back to their usual sweet selves.

Ok, back to the Leafs...we need to pot at least one more goal for me to feel good about tonight's effort. Because I'm not seeing much to cheer about.

[Peter]

i just saw the oilers-blues highlites. man, Edmonton stinks. i know they are supposedly rebuilding, but it's really painful to watch. can't play defence and their goaltending is awful.
sorry for being off-topic. :-)

[moe green]

You know, I haven't checked but it seems that the Leafs take far fewer penalties this year than last?

[moe green]

Nice Lu-pass! Lame.

[xpander]

yeah phil!!!! Stick it to the avalanche

[Pyramid Power]

Yip got the interference yips. Now let's see Kool, Kessel or Lupul score a goal to pretty much salt this away.

GO LEAFS GO!

KESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSELLLLLLLLLLLLL!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES. I KNEW YOU WOULD BE PHILTHY TONIGHT PHIL. I KNEW IT. I LOVE YOU MAN.

LEAFS!

[Peter]

Kssel!!!!

[moe green]

Imagine if the Leafs give the Wings this many chances.

[wcdixon]

Kessel from Lupul! Nice....

[moe green]

I'm liking the Lupul factor. He's getting stronger.

[Peter]

hey, moe, they are leading! they just scored! stop being so negative!

[xpander]

@moe
I concur you make a valid point. But you need to be in the now. Be glad the leafs are doing what they're doing. We'll worry about saturday, saturday. It works for lots of people when it comes to debt......

[Peter]

Dion got away with one there...

[Pyramid Power]

Moe No doubt we will have our hands full in Motown on Sat. nite as I mentioned before on a previous blog, and as we all very well know.

Let's just savor this right brother Leaf fan OK?

GO LEAFS GO!

[Sue]

@Sensi-Bill - Thank you!

@TimB - No, you do not look fat!

@Boo - keep shaking girl!

2 goal lead, let's keep it up!

[Sue]

Okay - feeling a little better.

We can do this! It is almost past my bedtime though! Will try and hang in there!

[Boo Who?]

Love so much that they play that particular Cee-Lo Green song after the Leafs score! Ha ha ha!!

[Boo Who?]

No goal?? Hmmph.

[wcdixon]

Kicked in...they aren't going to allow this one. Darn.

[Pyramid Power]

Good work on the forecheck Mike Brown a.k.a. Fu. You were not rewarded but so be it.

Let's close this one out, grab the two points and head to Motown for a
Sat. nite showdown.

GO LEAFS GO!

[moe green]

These are fun but dangerous games guys. Far too sloppy tonight. Still have to win this one.

[Boo Who?]

ARRRRGH!!!!! 4-3!!! *throws down pompoms, pushes up sleeves*

[Pyramid Power]

OUCH! O'Reilly a damn fine hockey player. Let's get this done Toronto.

We have given them life and that is not cool. Let us be cool now Jimmy and everyone.

GO LEAFS GO!

[wcdixon]

Ugh. Leafs gonna make us sweat out another one. Don't they think of the fans with all these tie or 1 goal games?? Some of us are getting old and can't take the anxiety and stress!

[Sensi-Bill]

@TimB
.
While it's well known that TV adds 10 pounds, few realize that the Internet adds 15.
.
In the words of Jack Parr . . .
.
Did I hear people say "Who?"
.
The original Johnny Carson?
.
"Who?"
.
The original Jay Leno?
.
"Who?"
.
The original Conan O'Brien then Jay Leno again?
.
Anyway . . .

In the words of Jack Parr --- whose footage of people harvesting a spaghetti tree remains a classic . . . I kid you not.

[moe green]

Now that PP was pathetic. Games like this lull the Leafs into thinking they are better than they are. They start thinking: "We can beat these Red Wings" and then it's over. This is a sloppy effort so far. Lots of "lost" in our own zone.

[Boo Who?]

Well, at least our powerplays are good for one thing - giving an opposition player two minutes to rest.

Leafs need to pick up the pace. They didn't skate this morning, so no 'tired' excuses. Bury the Avalanche and let's go.

[Pyramid Power]

REIMER REIMER REIMER REIMER

YOU UTTERLY MAGNIFICENT BASTARD. HOLD THE LINE BROTHER.

[Sensi-Bill]

Come on Toronto!
.
We DID try to help.
.
We DID give them Elliot.
.
(Actually, for his sake, I was hoping that Elliot might do better with a fresh start, as I do sort of like the guy and he did TRY for us. But I guess the Avs may have acquired him to make tanking easier without seeming to, or having to, intentionally throw games.)
.
Oh well, worse comes to worst I'll take third-last if it's the result of our Bingo Boys --- and their personal Peter Pan, one Jason Spezza --- working hard every night trying to win no matter whom they face.

[Sensi-Bill]

icing? No no not with less than a minute in a one-goal game

[Sue]

I did not breathe for the last minute of the game! Big Breathe now!

[Boo Who?]

HOLY MOLY!! REIMER!!! BLESSED ART THOU!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[oakville_girl]

Why, oh why do they have to do this to us our loyal fans!?! I love excitement in a game, but geez louise, not ALL THE TIME!!!

Sloppy PP, but thank god we have a goalie!

[moe green]

Reimer saved this one. I no likey. Likey winny hate confused defensive zone coverage. That was a sloppy game and I hope they do not get over-confident. This season is not over yet!

[moe green]

You said it PP, Reimer really shut the door when it counted. Wow!

[Sensi-Bill]

Whew. Sounds like they made it needlessly close
.
Congrats Leafs.
.
(Happy for the nice people here.)

[Pyramid Power]

VICTORY! AWESOME! LOVE IT!

33-30-10 now. Loving Leafs wins always. Where are the girls who love the Leafs? Where is TPiddy?

[wcdixon]

Reimer the difference. Again. Onward to 3 monster tough games coming up.

[moe green]

I their record is a high water mark this season since the 4-0 start.

[TimB]

That was pretty brutal,but I'll take it and off to Detroit.Face offs and power plays.Yikes! Go Panthers!Go Lightning!

[gettingcozywithsarkozy]

geesh, these boys like shaving years off my life with the stress they produce every game! Some sloppy play defensively, but Reimer bailed them out this time! Look for me on saturday night at the Joe; I'll be off to the side of the Leaf bench in the corner, section 116.

[Wandering Penguin]

Wow, is Grabovski ever rounding into an incredibly complete hockey player. He works like a (magnificent) bastard in his own end and is a scoring machine at the other. What a steal Fletcher pulled off there - and all because two punk brothers had a little temper tantrum and wouldn't get along with Grabbo in Montreal. Still laughing about that.

A highlight for me tonight, though, was how much my cat loved that Telus commercial with the parrots. She had kind of been ignoring the game until that came on. I had to replay it for her about 10 times.

She prefers baseball, for some reason. Meh.

GO LEAFS GO!!!

[Pyramid Power]

Sarko Cool. Please wear a Leafs sweater preferably with Borschevsky on it OK? LOL

[Sensi-Bill]

Well night all.
.
Good luck Saturday night.
.
My guys host the Caps tomorrow night and then are off to Atlanta for an afternoon tilt Sunday.
.
I've an Ottawa '67s playoff game to attend Saturday afternoon at Scotiabank
Place, so might be napping LOL by the time HNIC rolls around.
.
Take care.

[Wandering Penguin]

LOL @ Borschevsky jersey. That would be priceless.

[gettingcozywithsarkozy]

ha Borschevsky! I love it. While I never personalized my jersey, that would be one of my top choices. Either that or Butcher or Beaupre (there are a few memorable ones!)

[Wandering Penguin]

Methinks you might be missing the special joy associated with wearing a Borschevsky jersey....to the Joe.

[TPiddy]

Wow.... loved watching Komisarek open a big can of whoop ass last night. That's the Komisarek we need to see more of.
