Based on fibbys math, your testicles are worth $100 a piece. That would be like selling the 4th kid you don't have yet, then you just move back behind the 10th row.

Plus, kessel got a big pay raise and may just be in the market.

Yo, Waldorf...did your Kings' Eastern Conference opponent lie down and bend over? Cuz, I know that's what Chicago's opponent did tonight.

Seriously, outside of the Pens and Bruins, the gap between the Eastern teams and Western teams is huge.

Waldorf should be embarrassed to be a Kings fan. Sure his Kings won, (who can't beat the Leaves?) but they are the only team to get less than 50 shots on net against the Leaves this year with only 23.

I happened to be at the game, 19th row from the glass. $170 face for the tickets, thankfully they were a freebie from MGMT at my company. I really feel for Dads trying to take their kids to the games the ticket prices are just insane here.

I guess that's the only bright side you got being a Leafs fan.

Did you reserve your spot yet on Tim Lie-Weekly's parade route?

When the Leafs defense hangs Bernier out to dry so often, you only need to take a few shots to win. Poor Bernier.

What are you talking about?!?!?

Tickets to see the Sucks are almost free.
You can walk up to the ticket window the night of the game and pretty much purchase any seat in the house at a significant discount.

It's one of the perks of being a Sucks fan

Bernier let in 2 softies last night IMO.

And now that LA has a new star goaltender, when is Quick being put on the block?

Could probably fly to SolCal, stay in a 5 star hotel and get premium seats to a Mighty Ducks game for less than a single Leave ticket.

Anyone else notice that Jay Feaster was fired in Calgary today?

Maybe I should become a Flame fan now, my favorite GM Burkie is now running the show there.

Yea, it's Bernier and that total shots thing that is Leafs problems.

Don't bunch me in with that bunch of crazies. Besides, no longer a Leaf fan Leaf problems are complete lack of defensive hockey. Waayyy too many good scoring chances and men left completely uncovered in their zone. Its sloppy hockey at its best.

But Bernier did let in 2 stinkers last night. The 2nd and 3rd goals while not easy saves, were make able saves. He could have kept them in that game. Especially on the Carter goal.

Carter goal...maybe.
The Clifford goal....now way. The defense completely hung Bernier out to dry on that one. He was wide open. Poor Bernier.

I loved this comment on TSN from a Leaf fan:
On the bright side it was one of Phaneuf's better games, no give-a-ways or dumb penalties.

Kings have now gone 17 straight games without allowing a 1st period goal.
That's one tough NHL record they have now.

If it wasn't for a terrible missed call on that goon Malkin punting Bernier into the net the Leaves would be 2-0 against the Pengoons this year.

I'm sure the NHL is now deeply regretting putting the free falling (and as per their coach "Braindead") TML in that game.

Toronto doesn't need to win the Cup. It resides here all year long anyway.

^ All jokes aside. You have no idea how bad yesterday's game was, It genuinely looked like the Blues vs an ECHL team.

And here's where it gets bad.... When it became 4-0 Blues, my son said "dad, what team does Sidney Crosby play for again?. Because I'll start cheering for them."

15 games for Ack's fave player, Thornton: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=438984



Although, on tonight's Coach's Corner, the Don Cherry did make an excellent point (as it has been mentioned many times in this thread already regarding the Orpik/Thornton fiasco): If Orpik is going to go around making those types of "mean hits...he needs to be ready to answer for it."

I don't even remember when was the last time the Leafs beat the Hawks.(2001?) They probably won't make the playoffs this season but I love what I saw tonight.

I'd suggest you switch teams too after that one. Getting pummelled by the lowly leaves? Humiliating.
