Anyone besides me say "Jesse Barfield!" when he threw that ball from right field?

No one?

Damn, I'm old.

oh Jesse.. with Moseby in centre and George.. Jorge.. w/e in left

He's played well the last two games.

not when he doesnt have the puck

watching Gardiner makes me wonder if he can tie his own shoes
- Dozzer

I though Bab's said he played good....or was someone being sarcastic?

If he has a good year...the Leafs have a good year IMO.

( as much as I think he's a dog )

Yes, but I believe the official response from the NHL is:

"Yeah, they suck, but at least they aren't as bad as NFL pre-season games!"

For years, I gave away my exhibition tix without ever going to a game.

That's changed a little in years past - it's not so bad if you have perspective. A chance to go down and see some guys who won't make the team, but you want to get an idea how they are developing (I watch no junior hockey, and very, very little Marlies).

If you go down with a buddy and chug a few overpriced beers, it's not too bad.

But, of course, I've already paid for the tickets. I can't imagine anyone actually paying for a pre-season game if they didn't have to.

Hell, last year I took a certain drunken Hockeybuzz regular to his first Leafs game at the ACC. He probably doesn't remember it, but he seemed to have a good time.

I paid 40$ for two tickets to see some guys in Leafs sweaters play at the Bell Centre. After pre-season is done, that number jumps to about 350$ if you don't happen to be one of the 400 people who manage to pick up Leafs tickets on the first day of sales, so I took the opportunity.

Cheaper hockey. It's a chance for families with less money to get down to a game. I know a lot of people who go down to just pre season games because they can't afford it. If you can't go to a hockey game sober and not enjoy it then there's something wrong.

gards has a ton of skill

and when the puck is on his stick he is fine

its his play away from the puck.. and so long as he has more brains in that skull of his than say.. a fly on a pile of poop, babs will be able to teach him

i will bet Babs is looking at Gardiner as something to mold.

You just recited a story in which Guy Lafleur was involved, as a Hab.........and you think Jesse Barfield makes you old???


By the way, who ended up winning that preseason game?

Jesus, you sound just like my wife, parole officer and court-appointed medical monitor.

On a related note, would you mind lending me a cup of your urine?

I got your back ...Lloyd "Shaker" Moseby was my favourtie for years.
- The Law

My favorite players when I was a kid were Damaso Garcia and Jimmy Key.

I honestly can't remember, so I'm just going to go ahead and assume it was the Habs.

Ernie Whitt and Tom Henke

He's played well the last two games.

Raise that trade value, Jake!

wait!

Joffrey Lupul is the Kelly Gruber of hockey!!!!

not when he doesnt have the puck

what did he do last night?

- TheMussel

A few years ago, I paid to go watch a Leafs/Wings preseason game at Joe Louis Arena. Leafs lost 4-0 and I got a $300 speeding ticket on the way back.

what did he do last night?
- senstroll

last night? nothing glaring.. like i said.. gardiner just needs to be coached on the defensive side of things.

but until he plays a strong defensive game (or at least not be a liability) consistently I just cant bring myself to call him a good d-man

good skill, not great smarts. I am more than willing to be swayed on this.. i am actually hoping to be

Ernie Whitt and Tom Henke

Still remember when Ernie hit that 3-homer game. The Terminator made glasses cool.
