He is a kid .The bldg was jumping ,it was a great comeback, let the kid have his moment in the spotlight. If he did that every goal I am sure teammates would settle him.

This kid has every chance of being a Pavel Bure, I want to watch him. Well, maybe he will not get a chance in Edmonton to be Bure as he has so many other young guns infront of him.

But I see DOn CVherry taking an instant hate to him.

Oh and just a warning to Canuck fans who maybe wish to go into the "Leafs Blog" after the game tonight. I was kinda pre-warned by Dozzer (ref/mod) to play nice.

No complaint about Dozzer, hell the crap he has to read and sift through wuold be like reading a litter box.

Hey... 100% honest moment here....

If Yak were on my team and he did that... it would have been great. On every highlight package for the year and would have made me proud. 29 other teams would say otherwise.

Maybe you need a little more clout in the league prior to doing it. I dont; know. When Tiger Williams rode his stick, it was an iconic moment. But he had clout to spare.

- Beatle_john


It was a fantastic celly, but he should have saved it for a playoff goal and not a tying goal in the third game of the season. A simple glass body check or one knee fist pump would have sufficed in that situation.

How does Clouts get the label of uber homer yet Esplen escapes from it?
- sanfordnson


Esplen is top 5 homer on this site, well ahead of Clouts.

I think for the most part everyone gets a long more playful ribbing then anything but then someone needs to take offence to nothing and it blows up.

I don't know what it is about John Garrett but he just irks me. Like, he is beyond homer almost as if he's trying to be as bad as the Bruins comms. I muted the game just for that reason
- MaximumBone


I know what you mean, I really like at smidge of unbias in my play by play. At least Garrett will acknowledge when the other team does well or when a canuck player screws up. The Ducks guys were going on about how Anaheim was still in the game when it was 3-0 and going in to the 4th with Perry in the box for another few minutes.

I like seeing the enthusiasm and it was a big goal for him. I'm a fan of celebrations cause shows off their personality.

#NYR Sounds like Arnott may make it in time for Rangers game 2night. Won't play obviously. Must complete physical before finalizing

#NYR John Tortorella declines to comment on Arnott. Not surprising if deal not yet finalized

The only thing I can think of is CHED radio. Also if you are near Telus OPTIK TV or even BELL, they have them.

CHED may have a smart phoen app.

Good Luck

I don't know if anyone has ever questioned this team in the regular season. Now playoffs, that's a different story.

Yeah. He's an ethnic Tatar, which is technically in Russia but apparently they don't really view themselves as strictly Russian.
