Jason arnott chops away. Steckel and komisarek are the recipients. Steckel is fine, komisarek will be x-rayed tomorrow.

No penalties though! 

He looked like Paul Bunyan out there.

Going to the Bill Clement school of commentating?

Looking at the EC standings tonight, our GF/GA stat sticks out among the leading teams.  All the others with similar point totals are >+10 and we are -4.  BOS games account for that, of course.  Still, an objective person could logically conclude "mirage."  Just observin'.....

Maybe, but, at the same time, at this point, every team probably has a couple games that skew their numbers, and, with no one in the conference having played more than 17 games, those games are going to have a significant impact on the goal differential at this point. If things are still looking the same way 15-20 games from now, that's a different story.

And a lot of that has been with a rotating platoon of our 2nd and 3rd string goalies.

I agree, at the 21 game mark you can kind of determine a team then, but a true value now a days, can't really be determined until the half way mark.

Because someone has set it up so that c.l.e.m. Turns To k.u.l.e. Who was it that used to call Kulemin c.l.e.m? There lies your answer I call shenanigans! 8)

What does this mean?  Bob Hartley becomes our new coach and Ron Wilson gets shipped to Switzerland?

Not sure... Toblerones for everyone?

Which leaf do you miss the most? I still think back of the times when we had Gilmour, my favourite player of all time :'( just read about him on the official site. He was the reason why I became a leaf fan.

Clark was my favourite but yeah, it's hard to argue with Gilmour as the one I really miss. He was on Hockeycentral at noon yesterday for the whole show and one of the things that I kind of forgot about was the "rock star" status he had here. Nobody, I mean nobody really had that here. He was talking about how he couldn't even leave the house at times. I can't remember one player - ever in a Leafs uniform who crated so much buzz 'round here... I'd say it's that buzz (along with the player) that I miss.

With that said however, I wish I was tad older so I could have appreciated Salming more. Or, Salming was much a younger so I could appreciate him now... Know what I mean? I still think he's the greatest Leaf ever and it's hard not to say I miss him the most too.

It's true... Swiss hockey does really seem to be evolving for the better rather rapidly. though

Excepting Kessel, the entire 2011-12 leafs team.  They took off at game 4 and I havent seen them since.

Seriously, where's the panic button, this worst i've ever seen the leafs play (I think i said it this time last year) so sad...

And I don't really care if they win, I just want to watch a good game of hockey.........

Me to, where did the leafs go. they are better then these last 5or6 games.

Any press conferences scheduled?  *crosses fingers*

... Salming... I still think he's the greatest Leaf ever and it's hard not to say I miss him the most too.

Salming is among my favourite Leaf defencemen of all-time.  Along with his defence partner Ian Turnbull, together they were  one of the more celebrated or well-known defence pairings among Leaf fans who remember that era of the '70s.  I remember very well and some of the favourite players to don a Leaf uniform were there at the time.

Yeah, none of the lines are really showing up except for Kessel's line, only because Kessel and Lupul are playing with some great chemistry right now.
