Well you were the guy specializing in gay couple cat parties, what was he supposed to do?

The canucks outchanced the leafs at least 8-1 last night.

You did get more hits though, that can be deceiving though since I think the leafs didn't possess the puck for more then 5 minutes last night. If you have the puck you aren't hitting as much.

No no, last night they had a choice to ask the leafs if they could play at the AHL level, but decided to play hockey instead of goon squad.

If by punching out Sestito that make the Leafs a goon squad then so be it. The rest of the pussies go after guys like Kessel.

Well this sucks.

I really don't care about the loss. But losing Bolland is hard to swallow. Vancouver showed why so many other teams hate them. Although there is no arguing the Canucks played a better game than the Leafs, i just wish they weren't such an embarrassment to the league. They will NEVER win a cup. They are forever cursed by the hockey Gods. Victory is always earned, not stolen. The Sedin's showed that they are still among the very best in the world, and Luongo will be Canada's #1 in Sochi. man those guys are fast. Leafs never really had any room to skate. Kessel was frustrated from the get go.

Clarkson needs to stop being a little female dog. Those pretty eyes are not going to win over Leafs fans. FFS an go take care of Kassian! DO SOMETHING YOU LAZY (frank)! Kuli looked lost and that was easy to predict, but i think he'll work hard this week getting back into game shape (if he's not traded). The high sticks were unfortunate, but unless Burrows has clear blood that should not have been a double-minor. I could go on and on about the boarding calls and how easily the Canucks fell down, but the fact is that everyone knows they do that so why even bother playing the body? Phaneuf was okay, but once again as captain of the team he did nothing to motivate the rest of the guys. The leafs hung Rielly and Reimer out to dry. Fraser is needed immensely. Orr and MacLaren were the only Leafs making a difference last night. Right now i hate Kassian more than anyone in the league. Not because i think he meant to hurt Bolland, but because he shows no remorse. Even Matt Cooke said something along the lines of an apology. If you badly hurt another person you should acknowledge that.

Kassian got the atta boy from torts for the highstick to his face were he already had a missing tooth which drew blood. Looked liked a dive to me! Should have been 2mins

And he found your ad in the back of a gay porno.

Anyways, as much as the Nucks fans are enjoying reliving every moment of the game last night, can we talk about the Leafs -- you know, in our thread -- and what we're going to do about center?

No my partner is able to have children on her own - you guys adopt?

You have to match physical with physical, not retaliate because of the antics. That's the Canucks game plan, that's what they do, that's the reputation they have around the league.
- gravyface

I agree with this.
One of the reasons the canucks are able to play with Chicago (and other elite teams) is that opponents get caught up in the emotion of the game. On paper the elite teams should kill us but the canucks use their poor reputation to their advantage.
I think that's smart hockey.

Dude, the team was running around trying for dirty hits and crap, that's why they spent all the time in the box. Is that what passes for hockey out east?

You're completely unable to respond in any coherent manner.
Spew crap and then hide behind a bunch of emoticons. Step it up son, you're falling behind the rest of us.

You got me big guy, you got me.

Kassian skates like a boy who hasn't grown into his body. You think he's the next Ovechkin - stfu

Can you fight when you're down like that? I thought that was dirty hockey no?

It's classless, low-character hockey, but it is effective.

Lets make this simple....it was a non conference, non divisional game ending a road trip that they already had won 2 of 2 and were first in the conference, Vancouver needed the win just to stay in the top 8

Yes, while the nucks turned a dropped to their knees every hit, great job - 2 points I guess that's all that matters

Diving and turning your back when your about to get hit is the Canucks game. Leafs have a far better reputation for playing honest hockey than the Nucks.

The most telling stat from yesterday's game was the 47 shot against.

Your team needs to fix that poop. Got to protect your goalies better.
- bloatedmosquito

nah... not really...

Leafs have two goalies that top 3 in the world
a goaltending controversy
poor cap management
and no good young players...

or something like that... their just following the Vancouver "model" , same GM, same ex-GM, now same winger...

exactly the same, without the diving.

The Broad Street bullies are revered for being a bunch of classless turds.

Playing classless hockey is only really acceptable when you are guaranteed to win. Otherwise you go down in history as the team that went to great lengths to win, but despite their best efforts to draw penalties by flopping around they remain losers.

I consider any embellishment a dive. And there was plenty and you know it.

Only classless thing I see here is one team getting beat by the other and blaming it on everything else other then the fact they were out played. Seems like poor sportsmanship and whining.
