Game 29: Jets @ Leafs, 7:00pm - CBC

Lupul is just the tonic the Leafs need right now. They went into their tail spin with him out last year. Now they are getting him back at just the right time!
 
Glad Lupul threw that hit on Kane at the end there. He's been running around too much. He should definitely pay for shoving Scrivens, but he's a big boy. I bet even Orr would hesitate to go with him. Maybe Fraser?

Speaking of fights, I thought Orr's fight was poor judgement and I felt it killed the Leafs' momentum from the Lupul goal.

The Jets are a big team, but really that's all they have going for them in my opinion. I'd like to see the Leafs add some of that size.

Lastly, who's the ref who was in the Jets end? He's the worst ref in the league IMO and I'm not surprised at the kind of penalties that were called in that period, after I saw who the ref was.
 
Was Lupul ever this good in Philly or Anaheim - even before the injuries? BTW, I just read 68 pts in his last 70 games.
 
That was the single worst period of officiating I have ever seen, I counted 6 missed calls by the refs.

They also botched the Holzer incident, no way should the penalties on that have been even.
 
It is not hard to point out when Cherry is an idiot but here I go.  He claims that some Winnipeg guy "protected" his star (Kane) by fighting with Holzer.  Here is what actually happened:

Holzer challenged Kane with his gloves off.

Kane said "nah, I don't feel like fighting" and backed away. 

Holzer backed off and went to collect his gear.

Then the 'peg tough guy came in and fought Holzer.

Suppose the tough guy wasn't there? There just wouldn't have been a fight.

Again, the idea of protecting guys from fights sounds plausible in the abstract (somewhatlike "Take the fight to the bad guys. Invade Iraq.") but when it comes to the specifics of what actually happens, it is hogwash ...
