Game 39 - Tampa Bay Lightning vs Toronto Maple Leafs W7-3

[Tigger]

From the angle I saw from behind it looked like it was too low.

Not a big deal, unless you want to meet up and make it one.  8)

You pay for my flight out to Oz, and I'm all for it.

No small task but if he can find a deal on two tickets my offer of a thumb wrestle remains...

Perfect on the pk in a wild tilt, hopefully Mr. Steckel is right and confidence blooms.

maybe people will stop talking about missing Dupuis  on the pk now

Boyce second behind Steckel in shtoi, good on ya Le Nez!!

I wish we had Downie. Reminds me how much I hated Tucker on the Tampa team then he was awesome here.

I prefer Army... He might not be as good as Downie in any part of the game but he provides much of what Downie does without the pressing feeling you need to vomit from the fact he's on your team.

Small-sample-sized.

The Leafs are scoring for Gus this year - a reverse from last year.

Seriously. It's one game, and, that's in light of the previous 5 games, which Dupuis was injured for and the Leafs PK gave up 7 goals in 20 opportunities.

Maybe, not for a bit if we're honest but it's nice to see the Leafs do it no matter.

file this game under 'I don't give a flying fig'........ Canada plays Russia tonight!

how did that turn out?

 

[TML fan]

Nice ugly win. The d is still porous but all that matters are the two points. Great night for Lupul.

 

[hockeyfan1]

Great way to start a homestand... on a winning note!  C'mon boys, keep it up!!  GO LEAFS GO!!!

GO MONSTER!


Killing 5 penalties, which included a 5 on 3 disadvantage, is also a good start to some confidence-building for the team.  Way to go!

No wonder Cronin lashes out at Phaneuf. He must be the worst PKing dman on this team. His wondering in no man's land is just awful.

It's a small sample but he led all Leafs in SH TOI last night, anchoring a prefect PK. Hopefully, it's a sign of things to come.

He wasn't as bad last nite so hopefully Cronin is getting through his thick, scowled, faux-hawk head.
