You wanted that deal? Gonchar is making what, 5 mill? In today's Cap world thats a franchise player's contract. Gonchar is not a franchise player. Plus we would have to give up Zed and a pick, on top of eating his massive contract?
Man I felt like tossing my dinner when I read that.

Just the thought of having Markov and Gonchar at the blueline more than made up for the salary cap hit.
I don't care if Gonchar is having a subpar season in Pittsburgh, their defense as a whole just sucks, Gonchar is still a 50-60pts defenceman in this league on a good team.
Markov was so happy when Kovalev showed up and he turned his game when it happened, just imagine him having another Russian fellow on the blueline with him, he'd be in heaven. An happy Markov is a Markov I want

Hey 'Nucks fans. I seem to remember the Leafs giving your team fits whenever they visit Vancouver. For this reason, I smell an OT win for Vancouver with Bertuzzi getting the winner.
Don't know if this has been linked here before, but I just found this site:

It looks like it has every fight this year plus some older ones, all hosted on rapidshare. I just finished watching both Peters vs. McGratton fights from earlier this year, those were some epic battles.

Yeah, I don't think we've beat the Leafs at home in a long time. Granted that long time is something like 5 games in the past 5 years, but still.ForzaItalia said:
Putting on my Bertuzzi jersey for this one. I usually wear my Cooke jersey to hockey games since it fits me the best, but I need to be representing the prophecy (yo);

I remember going to a Canucks/Leafs game here in Toronto when I was a kid and the name Jiri Bubla stands out because he took a slap shot and shattered the glass. As a kid, I creamed my pants in amazement and thought he was the coolest guy ever. :lol

I think when Theo saw that idiot bearing down on him in his practice he shit his pants and thought to himself:
"Fuck, if I don't stop this stiff then I'll get traded out of Montreal!"
What happened afterwards was most likely the best save that Theo has made all season.

Hand passes are fine in your own end, the sticky point being whether or not you pick up the puck or throw it through the air. If you don't close your hand on the puck and you just slide it to a teammate who is also inside your blueline it's legal (if you close your glove on the puck inside your own crease then it's a penalty shot, another wrinkle).Jason said:
My favourite thing about it was the front page of the Sun today. The sports headline Nutjob crashes practice with the Habs logo beside it was logical enough, but this being Canada they knew enough to have "Fails to beat goaltender" underneath because that's what the ppl want to know. :lolbishoptl said:

6TH in the WEST versus 6TH in the EAST.
GO CANUCKS GO!
GO CANUCKS GO!
I can't believe none of you Toronto pussies responded.
bishoptl said:I don't know - it's hard to muster up the vitriol for a Leafs game. Much harder than ripping the Alberta teams, I'm assuming that familiarity breeds contempt...not that I didn't have much contempt for Calgary and Edmonton in the first place...wait, what am I saying? This is Toronto! Center of the universe! How can I not get up for this game?
So, in the spirit of our own FMT, as well as Chris Jericho's "1004 holds" promo on Dean Malenko back in WCW:
- Leafs suck
- Yonge Street packed in the first round LOLAMIRITE
- bullet capital of Canada
- you're lucky you play in the East where mediocre teams can coast
- Tie Domi
- Pat Quinn's best coaching days were here in Vancouver, enjoy our leftovers
- armbar
- "Teronna"? wtf speak English tards
- wanna-be Americans
- fartcatchers for Hamilton's and midwest USA's smokestacks, nice air quality there champ
- Harold Ballard's crazy woman had your town by the balls for YEARS
- who the hell tries to build a soccer stadium out East where nobody can use it 5 months out of the year, smart thinking! good thing the Argos pulled out and saved you more embarassment
- Pinball Clemons' teeth
- Pizza Pizza HEY HEY HEY if I never see that stupid Ontario franchise's ads again it'll be too soon
- "T-dot"? end yourselves now
- armbar
- you took Damon Allen after we told his grandfather ass to retire and then won the Grey Cup with him over the Lions, if anyone here gave a shit about football we'd be even more pissed
- asshats keep voting in the Liberals
- "TO" is the same abbreviation that Terrell Owens uses, 'nuff said
- a few high definition sportscasts of teams other than the Leafs sure would be nice, pity that the center of the universe doesn't agree HEY HOW ABOUT DEM LEAFS
- Gino Reda
- hell, all of TSN
- Bret Hart wore a Leafs jersey on WCW. Shortly afterwards his career was ended by Goldberg, then he had a stroke. Therefore Toronto nearly killed Bret Hart, bow your heads in shame ladies
- it's "Leaves" not "Leafs" I mean Jesus
- Leaf and Raptor highlights over the rest of Canada? swell
- Vince Carter played you bitches for years, then came back and slapped you in the face, then sunk a game-winning shot oh the humanity
- Phil Jackson has such little respect for you that he spoke openly about raiding the Raptors for Chris Bosh, then easily paid the fine with spare change found in his couch
- Leafs suck
- armbar
- moss covered three handled family grudunzle
- Jalen Rose is sucking you dry and nobody can do a goddamn thing about it
- who is your GM? he needs some preparation H under his eyes for those bags
- Nathan Philips Square? it's like "hey we want our own St Louis Arch, but we'll make 'em smaller, put three of them up, then slip some ice underneath it and name it after a politician, that'll show those guys" well done fellas
- Mel Lastman
- immediately after amalgamation in 1998, both herpes and hoof-n-mouth disease exploded in the Toronto area, coincidence? no

CANUCKS IN REGULATION. Everyone here is dissapointed. :lol
And I played Horcoff on a whim tonight in the roto and bam!, a hatrick.
Life is beautiful.
*Croses fingers for a three way trade

Thats it then, its official. Somethings happening tomorow, I know have no doubt.Koop said:

Fuck, im all anxious now, I want the trade tonight.
I want Fernandez above anyone else. Man, I want this goalie on my team, bad. Biron is a close second, and Aebisher, I'd be dissapointed not to get Fernandez...but I'd give him a fair kick at the can.
Justice was served tonight Bish, its all good.

See, Leafs outshoot their opponent and they lose!
What a hit Colaiaccovo laid on Bertuzzi though, wow

The Flames losing sucked, but following that up by seeing the stinkin' Oilers and Canucks win made me not want to look at the standings for a few days. Stupid NW division, I hate you! :lol
Crappy loss for Calgary too, a few fluky goals against that had me gagging in a game they played very well. I remember last year at about this time of the year, maybe in December, when the Flames went on a Eastern Conference road trip and beat the Rangers, Flyers and a few other teams. That road trip last year amazed me beyond words and had me thinking the '03/'04 Flames might not break my heart with a 12 game losing streak that had them 20 points out of the playoffs by February. No such luck on this trip so far.
