Beauty play! Leafs win a big game!

[Dylan]

Holy f***! Anyone see Lehtonen get destroyed tonight?!?! I'd be surprised if he comes back anytime soon.

 

Head on Head, and if that wasn't bad enough he smoked his head on the crossbar.

 

Haula got his feet tangled and you can't blame him for going straight into the net, maybe he could have done more to avoid the head contact, but it's easier said than done.

 

Thomas you are up. On a second note, Seguin is going to be/is one hell of a player, 8 points in 2 games too. Great trade by Dallas.

[Abomination]

Anyone else see this? McGrattan scores on Lack from center on a straight slap shot. Downright embarrassing.

Yes, I was watching the game. He made some massive saves later though at least.

People might find this rather amusing:

At least it was with the glove hand

Rich Peverley was taken to hospital after collapsing on the bench during the Stars game against the Blue Jackets. The game has been postponed.

 

He's now in stable condition

Can't see much, scary.

[Dylan]

Important game... go leafs!

 

Stupid penalty kadri

[Dylan]

Goallll!

[Dylan]

Phil the thrill!!!

[Dylan]

Phil the thrill again!! Bozak with 3 points

[Dylan]

Weak call and now a huge missed call. BOO

Good to hear Peverley will be ok. Obviously, that's likely the end of his career.

 

Not really relevant but my cousin is childhood friends with him and was the best man in his wedding I believe.

[Dylan]

One sided reffing tonight...

Very good news, hopefully he comes back. Don't know much about these type of things.

[43211234]

Well the first that comes to mind is the Jiri Fischer incident. I don't know the relative medical severity of their heart conditions but hopefully he is able to come back and play.

[Dylan]

lol @ the canucks... up 3-0 going into the third vs the islanders. now 6-4 islanders.

[Dylan]

HUGE WIN BY THE LEAFS!!!

 

Bozak continues to impress, amazing game by Bernier.

[havok24]

Ducks dominated that game. Bernier stole another one for the Leafs.

[havok24]

lol @ the Canucks giving up 7 goals in one period to the New York Islanders.

Leafs have a strong set of sharp shooters and are in pretty much every game. It might be time to just admit you and others severely underestimated this team. Ducks are one of the best teams in the league, beating them on the road goes far beyond a hot goaltender. Of course, you totally wrote off Bozak and he was on another three points this game plus some good two way play in the third. So I'm not sure you really know a whole lot about hockey.

 

Show us a little maturity and admit you were wrong. The gong show on this thread trashing the Leafs was way over the top. I can only imagine if the Leafs were collapsing like Vancouver, rebuilding from the bottom like Calgary, or sucking wind like Edmonton despite all those top draft picks. No, what Burke started and then Nonis continued was taking an absolutely awful aging team and rebuilt them into a solid playoff contender with a relatively youthful core and deeper farm system. I thought that was the kind of management that baseball stat geeks loved ?

Must you always be a combative dickhead? Why don't you f***ing relax.

How did I trash the Leafs in my last statement you f***ing monkey? I just stated the truth based on what I observed (I watched the whole game). The Leafs played a solid 1st period, but were dominated in the final two frames. Bernier had to come up with several point blank saves to keep the Leafs afloat and come out with the two points.

 

Also that top unit with Phil Kessel, JVR, and Tyler Bozak is one of the worst defensive lines in hockey. Tyler Bozak isn't some sort of defensive stalwart that you want to believe he is. Not only that, but how can you say a team that gave up 91 total shots (SOG + shots missed + shots blocked) played very well last night? I said they got dominated in the final two frames and they did. Why do you feel the need to be a f***ing douchebag all the time?

 

Do everyone here a favour and go play some road hockey on the highway.

You litter this thread with overdone criticisms of the Leafs. In case you were unaware, Bozak leads the forwards on this team in +/-. Just for a change, say something positive about the Leafs instead of s***ing on them even when they beat a top team on the road.

 

btw I'd love to play road hockey against you, see what your made of.

Leafs beat Anaheim on the road despite being out shot by a wide margin. Is this a positive story for the Leafs or a negative one ? It is clearly a positive one, and if they were doing it entirely on luck earlier this season ( as guys like JFAs were posting ), they'd have fallen back by now not be rallying up the standings.

 

Still a lot of season left and anything could happen because the East is tight. But two points in Anaheim is like two free bonus points.

Obvious trolling is obvious.

 

Trolling ? The stat was real as of two days ago and Bozak was being trashed on here by several people before the season even started. Some suggested he wasn't even an NHL caliber player. The idea that I am trolling because I present a contrary view on the Leafs is a joke. I've been consistent on my message about this team all year. There is no doubt that the criticisms of the Leafs have been way over the top all year, and a strong case could be made that those posts are a lot closer to "trolling" behaviour then anything I've posted here. Posts like "lol Leafs" and "Nonis sucks" etc etc are all over this thread.

"Michigan state police have confirmed that a vehicle matching the description of the one owned by missing OHL player Terry Trafford has been located in Michigan.

 

Police said that a male body was also discovered inside the car, a green GMC Sierra. The car was found Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of a Walmart store in Saginaw County's Saginaw Township."
