What a crock of shit, ref missed too many calls (holding on Versteeg, cross-check on MacArthur). Still, 4-0-1 looks good.

Was Gunnarson a healthy scratch tonight? Terrible penalty for lebda to take.

"regardless of the outcome..."

Unless I was factually incorrect (which I wasn't), you're just being a little bitch. Sack up.

friggin Isles

Tough game. Be interesting to see how the leafs bounce back on Thursday as they were the better team by miles. Complete domination but you cant win all the time.

Phaneuf, Schenn and Kaberle were amazing on defence.

Kulie was tripped and held in the OT...

 

[Fifty]

I'll take 4-0-1, but any OT losses remind me of last year's ridiculous total of 14!

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Damn...

Well, I have to hand it to the Isle; they played a strong fast game.

I still don't like the officiating in this game though. I thought the first one should've counted, Kulemin gets tripped in OT and there's no call.

Still, no cause for concern. We battled back to get one point so we have a possible 9 of 10 points. Maybe they'll scratch Lebda and throw Gunnarson back in

These sorts of games I don't mind losing. It was hard-fought and we still got a point out of it. The games that drove me up the wall last season were those where we had the lead and fell apart OR we couldn't get that one goal to tie it up.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Habs are getting closer by the minute.

 

[vatstep]

That Kessel guy sure would look good in a Bruins sweater.

 

[Manics]

Well ref screwjob tonight, apparently under orders to not let the Leafs extend their winning streak but the heart shown gained a point. Too bad Versteeg fucked up the breakaway, after that the refs knew they had to give the Isles a PP or the Leafs were 5-0. Love the embellishment by Roloson on that play, he winked at the ref after too LOL. Oh well at least we scrapped out the point.

I wasn't the one lacking balls and faith in my team.

Is the definition of excuse different where you are from?

 

[Simon Belmont]

I wasn't the one lacking balls and faith in my team.

Given the history of my team, can you really blame me?

I can handle 68-0-14

Fair point :lol

 

[Zombie James]

The Stars are losing by 2 goals in the 3rd, looks like there won't be any more perfect teams after tonight.

 

[Manics]

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Love how all the Habs fans are watching the Leafs intently. Within 1 min of the loss they're all posting in here -- this is why we're Canada's team. Thanks for proving that again tonight guys. :lol

With Mike Smith in net I really wouldn't discount the Lightning losing that lead.

Im watching Dexter, bro.

Ok man we'll go with that. *wink*

 

[Marvie_3]

How the fuck do you not stop that, Turco?

 

[Manics]

Versteeg should have won it in OT plain and simple. Instead he shoots wide, doesn't even make the goalie save it. It's all right I didn't expect to go 82-0, the character to tough out the tying goal was nice to see, they could have easily packed it in after the non goals but they kept pushing hard and deserved the tying goal. I'll take it.

 

[Kave_Man]

Just came back from the bar. Sad to see them lose but it would eventually happen. The fight this team has been putting up is blowing me away, I haven't seen this in years. I'm loving it.

I don't know why but Roloson has our number.

 

[Manics]

I don't know why but Roloson has our number.

He's 41. Old man.


(like me)

Holy shit! The sports net broadcast of leafs rangers pulled 920,000 viewers - that's insane for a regional game

 

[snack]

BACK TO REALITY, TORONTO. BACK TO REALITY.

UNDEFEATED IN REGULATION TIME

 

[lupinko]

Fuck you Tavares

Don't worry, as long as he plays for the Isles, he's pretty much screwed.

 

[Spl1nter]

Fuck no leafs hockey till Thursday now...

The bandwagon is filling:

http://www.tsn.ca/community/story/?id=337437

Audience levels for TSN's broadcast of Wednesday's Leafs/Penguins tilt peaked at 2.06 million viewers as the Leafs held on for the win, and that was just the third game of the season.

Stars lose, pobody's nerfect.

 

[DopeyFish]

Tsn is national though and afaik not blacked out on Wednesday night hockey

Ah.

 

[wandering goat]

Roli you bastard! He was ridiculous tonight again versus the Leafs. I have to admit that the whole Isles team played a pretty solid game tonight, though the Leafs still outchanced them overall. They seem like pretty similar teams, very young with huge effort level from everyone and both doing what it takes defensively.

 

[Marvie_3]

Brewer punches Kopecky in the face right in front of the ref and doesn't get a penalty. Fuckin awesome.

 

[Alucard]

Some team with a shitty defense named Pittsburgh has the best goal differential in the league, and a team GAA of 2.29. What.

 

[Marvie_3]

HOSSA!!!

Refs giving the game to the Blackhawks.

3rd time Halak's been mowed down. Not one call.

Cherry pick, moar.

Hey, if the Blues can get away with punching people in the face and cross checking, we can get away with offsides.


Damn, Hoss almost had a hatty there.

Now I know you've been watching hockey long enough to understand that cross checking can be allowed quite often in the defensive zone. It's not like they ran the goaltender over 3 times (once a goal was scored).

Yeah, you can get away with a bit of it in the crease, but you can't cross check someone to the ground 5 feet away from the boards.

Running the goalie is what we do best though, didn't you see the Vancouver series last year?

 

[Marvie_3]

SHARPIE!!!!!!!!!

3rd straight game winning goal!!

 

[Seda]

SHARPIE!!!!

Refs win this one
