Game 62: Capitals @ Maple Leafs, 7:00 CBC

[Tigger]

Love to see the Leafs show up without being as tentative tonight, that and scoring a half a dozen would make me happy.

I'm expecting them to. What I'm more worried about is how they start the second period if they have a good 1st.  They seem to fall asleep in the dressing room and come out flat way too often.

That's been a problem all year for them, to their credit they generally force other teams to adjust to their speed, which is what I think happens to them generally in the second frame, they don't have the gear to make the adjustment to that on most nights and seem to have to ride it out and re-establish their game in the third.

When they get behind doing that, they open up and leave their goalie vulnerable.

Well, I guess I'm ready for this.

Did I mention my wife might also go into labour at any time now?

Komisarek in the press box again. What a signing.

Looking forward to Frattin playing tonight.

Also, Cassie just said that Burke told Schenn he couldn't promise he wouldn't be traded but that he hadn't offered him to any team.

"Have a good game, Luke ... it might be your last as a Leaf!!" 

Some things might be better left unsaid ...

Well he hadn't yet anyways, pretty sure he just advertised him as for sale on CBC LOL.

Geez this team better win another cup soon their cup vets don't have too many Saturday night ceremonies left in them.

 

[ZBBM]

Put Johnny in!

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

CHIEF!!!!!

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Put Johnny in!

He's not an 'Allaire' style goalie.

 

[ZBBM]

CHIEF!!!!!

He's looking good!  A man-mountain.

 

[Propellertop]

I don't think I could love Johnny Bower any more. The guy exudes awesomeness!

 

[pnjunction]

He could probably have a heart attack and still stay up longer than our current goalies?

 

[ZBBM]

Shack is hilarious!  He and Pulford can sing too.

 

[13th fan]

Shack still a character

 

[bustaheims]

Dion could learn a lot from the Chief.

 

[azzurri63]

Shack the same character today as he was 40-50 years ago.

 

[lamajama]

I wanna have a beer with Mr. Shack....

 

[ZBBM]

Dion could learn a lot from the Chief.

Indeed.  But in all fairness, so could most players.

That was quite a team.
