Game 32: Vancouver @ Toronto - Dec. 17 - 7pm - CBC

[bustaheims]

You know, watching this game, it occurs to me that the Leafs are being built very similarly to the Canucks, just without the diving and whining, and with more toughness. Of course, being that the Leafs have 2 former Canuck GMs in their front office, this is hardly a surprise. Obviously, the Leafs aren't there yet.

 

[Tigger]

This is a pretty good game, right, I'm breaking out some beers.

Too damn many VAN fans have been allowed through the turnstiles.  We must silence them.  Permanently.

Like, forever?

You can hear them boo any time a canuck falls.

If need be.  This is serious business we're about, you know.

Bozak plants a Sedin on her ass too, great game he's having

I've never understood the "Sedin sisters" type of jokes. They're damn good hockey players and no more or less physical than Kessel and other similar players.

 

[Stebro]

I want to see more from Crabb

Interesting thought, I'd love to hear Burke's honest take on the diving team.

 

[Stebro]

I miss the old times, but we do need a winger like Gary Roberts...

When we're skating well the comparison is not too far-fetched.  And, while nobody has chemistry like Hank and Dan, Kessel and Lupul are sure looking like a line for the long term.

I think it has to do with lingering notions over how their team plays ( whining and diving ) as well as being easy marks from the 'chicken Swede' crowd. You're right of course, they're good hockey players.

We stink dudes

 

[pnjunction]

damn it

first minute last minute

 

[Tigger]

That's disappointing.

 

[pnjunction]

Well we definitely need to figure out how to survive the 1st minute of the 3rd

 

[bustaheims]

Phaneuf and Gunnarsson took the same man there, leaving a fairly open pass.

That's what I thought with two d-men back you think they'd take the two foremost guys.

 

[Zee]

Well that's the game.

 

[Tigger]

Ah, the freedom of self Mil-burying...

 

[WAYNEINIONA]

Hope they don't burn out in the third after playing last night.It's been a pretty close game so far and we still have a shot at winning. Kessel really needs to bury one.
