You can call whatever you want buddy.

Toronto succeeds in dropping a 2 goal lead in the 3rd last night. If it wern't for the clutch play of Kaberle, we'd be talking about how terrible Toronto is at holding a lead right now.

Toronto and Carolina in play tonight. Montreal will be 9th or possibly 10th by the end of the night. One of the two teams is going to win for sure. I'm hoping neither of them do. Especially not Toronto. I'll put a bullet through my brain before I have to listen to the 9 or so of you collectively cream yourselves for passing Montreal in the standings.

Will you have a heart attack like that guy last night if the Leafs win?

Jesus H. Christ.

Thankfully baseball season just started. Go Leafs Mets Go!

[Toe]

It's not over yet, but that was fucking horrible. The Leafs need to beat Philly, the Islanders, and then the Canadiens. As long as they beat Montreal in regulation, it will all be good. Or Montreal could lose another game for us....

I don't think both teams can make it, as I don't see the Rangers falling now.

[Guest Grapehead]

Going to my first game 7 ever. PEI Rocket forced a 7th game in their QMJHL series, so I'm pretty excited, I've never attended a game 7 in my life.

In other news, the NHL Eastern playoff race is looking really fucking exciting right now, I wish I had've caught the NYR/Leafs game tonight.

[SeanDMan]

The best part was the New York crowd serenading the Leafs.

[Ruki]

I still believe in the Leafs....it is possible of Montreal and/or Tampa bomb.

[Only In Dreams]

Oh I enjoyed that too Sean.. As a reminder for those Leafs fans who turned off the game because they got tired of Raycroft, then Aubin sucking.

"NA NA NA NA.... NA NA NA NA... HEY HEY HEY... GOOOOD BYE!" Reapeat two more times.

K thx.

[Plubby]

Is it wrong of me to admit that I actually don't mind Sean Avery, and was glad that he pummeled Tucker, and in turn, the Leafs?

[NobBe Nobbs]

Yes.

Yes it is.

[Clawson]

Even though, you know Tucker won the fight.

[SeanDMan]

Nah, the fight was pretty even, and Avery ended the fight on top, which is enough to give him the decision.

Also, Avery outscored Tucker in the game. In fact, Avery's contribution to goals was more then the Leafs team managed put together, so.

[Clawson]

I've never seen the reason behind why the winner is he guy who lands on top. Tucker landed two good punches for every one Avery landed and he had that massive bomb that blew Avery's helmet off.

Plus, Avery turtled at the beginning.

[SeanDMan]

If you take a guy down, it scores points. Effective takedowns score points in all fighting. Also, don't forget that Avery landed a bomb that took Tucker's helmet off too, and with the takedown factored in, I give the fight to Avery by a decision of 29-28.

[CKN]

I don't like Avery... just because he is dating Elisha Cuthbert. But he gains points for beating up Tucker in a fight I did not watch.

[Toe]

Why did Claude Julien get fired?

[oldskool]

Feeling that Julien didn't have the team ready to make a Cup run with the playoffs scheduled to start next week, Lamoriello fired him on Monday and took over behind the bench for the second straight year.

[SeanDMan]

Apparently Julien rubbed some players the wrong way, namely, one of their goaltenders. And let's face it, without one of their goaltenders, New Jersey is going nowhere in the playoffs. One of their goaltenders is obviously comfortable with Lamarilo, considering that goaltender has been a Devil for a while. And that goaltender is far more important to New Jersey's success then any of New Jersey's coaches, as evidenced by three Stanley Cups for that goaltender as a Devil with 3 different coaches.
