Well they escaped the Island with 2 points, wasn't looking good there for a bit. Kadri continues to impress :thumbup:

Feel better now?

No not really, want another rematch against the Habs. That win the other night over us was a fluke

Yeah wasn't one sided at all

BLACK35

Sounds like Frattin is close to returning and Lupes is back skating...things looking good

BLACK35

another solid win against the Sens....3rd in a row. Things looking good right now
Wonder how long that kid who got knocked out by McLaren will be out of the line up. That was a nasty KO punch

GO LEAFS GO

Going to snap this mini 2 game losing streak tonight :twisted:

Fan Loyalty ...

http://blogs.thescore.com/raptorblog/20 ... s-a-price/

The Raptors look destined to miss the playoffs for a fifth straight season for the first time in franchise history – a real “feat” considering the futility of past eras of Raptors basketball – but you wouldn’t know it by the nine sellouts they’ve had this season or the 18,182 fans they average per game.
That passion, dedication and general loyalty among the Raptors’ rabid fanbase has been well documented over the years despite the team’s lack of success, and now fans will pay for that loyalty, literally, as MLSE will increase Raptors (AND MAPLE LEAFS) ticket prices by 2.5 per cent in 2013-14.
To be fair, the organization did slash ticket prices in 2011 after the first post-Bosh season, kept the lower prices in effect for this season and look to floor one of the more costly rosters in franchise history next year, but does MLSE really expect fans to be understanding when Tom Anselmi talks about rising costs?
It’s one thing if the more expensive to operate team was in playoff contention right now, if fans were still watching meaningful games in mid-March or if they looked like a surefire playoff team for next year. Heck, if the Rudy Gay led Raptors are a pleasant surprise in 2013-14 and are a top-eight seed at this time next season, the organization probably could have gotten away with a price increase for 2014-15 even greater than 2.5 per cent.
But to do it now, when there are still as many questions about this team’s future as there are answers, just seems a bit cold. Then again, the only question MLSE needed to ask themselves was will the fans still come out at the new price level? And the answer will most likely remain a resounding yes.
Having said that, as tiny as 2.5 per cent is, if you thought there were unrealistic fan expectations this season, just wait until October, because no one’s going to listen to excuses for an under-achieving team they’re paying more to see.

hate to think how much they'd raise ticket prices without lockout

the leafs looked solid in their quest for a playoff spot ... but now only 3 points up on the jets ... it will be a battle to the end.

Into the second half of the season, so in due time we can start the countdown. 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, out of the playoffs......Again!

so true, since the start of the season I've been dreading this slump we were gonna get at some point to start our downard spiral.

I think they need to drop Toska to minors or pressbox and insert Gardnier into lineup, how bad of an idea could it be

lukin2006

Will this leaf team be different and be able to end a slump ... or will the slump continue.

BLACK35

well atleast we salvaged a point last night, Is it me or is Gunnarson been playing real bad lately :?:

BLACK35

finally a win

BLACK35

and another, finally beat the Bruins.

Kadri kinda reminds me a little of Doug Gilmour, small, fiesty and hands

BLACK35

where is all the other Leaf fans, you guys seemed to go missing. But I know you all didn't miss that dominating game against the Sens last night.
Kadri & Lupul on fire right now. Kadri in top 10 of league scoring....that wasn't expected at all.

I'm gonna say it as well........WE WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS YR...GO LEAFS GO

count me as seriously surprised at Kadri's output this year, good thing they let me play out some kinks in his game and keeping him in the AHL unlike what they did with Schenn

Kadri got the Don Cherry kiss after the game? lol

yeah I'm just as surprised at Kadri's output this season, the last couple of yrs I've been sayin to trade him, never thought he would pan out, always thought he was too soft. He is starting to remind me of Gilmour in a way, not comparing at all, just thinking small, skinny, can produce and can play a little dirty if required

missed the kiss though lol
