This team (Toronto Maple Leafs) is just driving me nuts!! every post game interview they say something along the lines of ''we need to play better defensivly'' or ''we need to play better infront of Andrew/Vesa'' LIES all lies!.. V-Tok was the ONLY reason the leafs got to OT and then the shootout! When will those Defensive plus ever learn :banghead: having said that Stralman had a good first NHL game and White was ok...
Talk about banging your head; have you watched a Red Wings game this year. How can they have so much talent and just barely win the darn game. I'm starting to think the mentality of just getting into into the playoffs is starting too early in the season in Det.
I understand your delima though the Leafs are a very talented org. why they can't get it together is beyond me.
the word talented does not go beyond Toskala,Kabrele,Sundin,Tlusty and Antro thus far this season... The reason why they can't get it together is they have GM that is an idiot and a coach who has a decent system but it sacrafices defence... That being said Tlusty got 2 goals vs Pens for a 5-2 leafs win yaayy... I think it's safe to say Toskala is #1..Quote:

Further more Osgood is still undefeated-dating back to last season.Quote:

Another lookback whould be the entire drafting decade of 1080-87,Every one who left Detroit made as captain or asst captain of the teams they went to.Even Adam Graves made it to GQ magazine as the sexiest man in hockey.
Enjoy the games and GO Detroit.
sorry I mean the leafs Starting goalie.. their number 1 goalie... Toskala I would say is about top 20 mmaaaayybe top 15ish...Quote:

Washington 7, Toronto 1.
Go Caps! :D
I'll say this much about gaolies: Luongo. Thats all that I can say. To have the talent thats in front of him and not ask to opt out of his contract for a team that can put thier marque players on the scoreboard.I watched him last year and he was great,and in thge two games already this year against the Wings he keept things close enough for them cunukadanians to beat the wings but he team failed him both times.Even our homebot Morrison couldn't get things to fall right, not to mention the two twins with a minus 7 on the back to back series.
Yep Roberto Luongo the vezna winner this year.
