You just want a long TOR/WSH series and don't want to face the Caps in Round 2 and want home ice, but cheers anyways.

It's like some in here are like a light switch, one second all bright and happy and the next second it's doom gloom and burn the world.

zaitsev is a tire fire

Still suffering from the hit? Jitters? Getting his legs back? I don't know if it's one thing or a combination but I've not been impressed.

Orlov is really good. That Schmidt can fly

I guess Sestito
- MaximusAurelius

Ok. I am still rooting for you though. Pretty damn exciting.

Hopefully just getting up to speed.

I like Hyman on Matthews line.
If anything, Babcock should try and change Marner and Nylander, to give Matthews some additional help, and to have Nylander maybe profit from playing with Bozak and JVR.
Connor Brown and Nylander are the 2 forwards that so far are most 'rookie' during this series.

Not exactly. When I was in college we used to go to Toronto. It's a great town. But yeah, I do want you to destroy the Caps, true.

Id say Marner. He's been better this game but has been a bit timid.

Agreed.

Schmidt might be a good offer sheet candidate

Who is the broadcast crew tonight for those of you watching in Canada?


I could do without Joe Micheletti.

Oh god, I knew it. Cherry on Z.

To be honest though, we'll all be happier when you hate the Leafs again...

Hughsuck and Simpd1ck.

Couple of nancy's I'd love to lure into my van and sodomize with a old Sherwood I have from Bantam.

You know how Grapes feels about the Euros.

Oh god, I knew it. Cherry on Z.

Don would rather have Komisarek, Gleason or Aulie out there.

I'm loving having the games shown on NBC. They have Roenick during the breaks which sucks, but their commentary teams so far have been excellent for this series (Strader/Boucher the first two games, Chris Cuthbert tonight)

Id say Marner. He's been better this game but has been a bit timid.
- markmark

Marner hasn't looked the same after his 2nd injury.
Looked way slower, and less 'magic' moments.
Maybe he's still (a bit) injured, maybe it's just a long season for him.

Oh god, I knew it. Cherry on Z.
- gravyface

He certainly loves him

It's two twats verbally giving Ovechkin a handy

Oh god, I knew it. Cherry on Z.

to be fair he's been the worst player on the ice so far tonight

ask yourselves folks... if you are old enough to actually remember the early 90s Leafs playoff series with Detroit or St. Louis or Los Angeles... or for any old timers who remember the late 70s series such as those against the Islanders... or for me the mid 70s against the Flyers...

Toronto never makes things easy for themselves ... and we love them for it... its always sweeter when you win when you aren't supposed to...

just don't over react negatively if they lose... like four years ago... Leafs had no business being that series with the Bruins... except for Reimer standing on his head.... let's not get ahead of ourselves... and don't get to far down

At least they've replaced Mike Dinglebury with Shane Doan... who looks a little nervous but might one day make a decent addition to someone's broadcast crew.

Cherry's bias against non Canadian players is showing again.

Shows Zaitsev on the two goals tonight - 2 rather bad plays when he's just come back from injury, and he's going on about how he can't play defense and Marlies defenders must be annoyed he's being offered a contract instead of them...

Right, show two terrible mistakes when he's just come back from injury and make a decision about his ability on just that...
Give your head a shake Cherry.

Apparently he likes Radulov though. Does he know the guy is Russian?
