    What a terrible game, do the Leafs want to make the playoffs, they played like absolute shit and Montreal was ripe for the taking.
    So pissed after that loss :evil:
    :lol::lol:
    I'm glad we're not going 0-6 against you clowns this year. I got my win, let the fire sale commence!

    need to keep perspective with this team ... don't let the early success get to your head ... this team will be scrapping to get into the playoffs ... there's just too much parity in this league and it'll be a dogfight to the end ...

    I know it was the Islanders last night (althought they had won 4 in a row) but the Leafs actually played pretty decent IMO, just stay close boys

    They need to capitalize on last nights win and take the back end of this home and home or a grat performance will have been for nothing.

    ya ... just play hard and at least give yourselves a shot at the playoffs ... missed last night's game but the islanders have been playing pretty good ... and a shutout also means not giving up a goal on the pk ...

    It was a solid win - I just didn't want to be successful with "The Monster" in net - now we're going to have to re-sign him at the end of the year. But - I fear Optimus may not be the same after his "concussion".

    or potentially trade him as his stock rises ... it's a good position to be in ... having said that - monster looked horrible beginning of the year ... overplaying pucks, scrambling, looking lost ... he is way more composed now and playing a lot more relaxed ...

    He certainly is playing with much more confidence - and of course - it is never a bad thing to have too many guys playing well. Hell - he may even get is into the playoffs. And there is no denying he is a battler - never gives up. Good for him.

    I think I just convinced myself to like him.....

    Monster....! Monster.....! Monster......!

    As a rule, I try not to rag on goalies very much because sometimes they flip a switch and make you eat your words. I'm riding the Monster train right now, and hoping the next stop is the postseason.

    Another Monsterific result! We're now one of 4 teams for 8th - technically - one sits in 3rd because division leaders are the top seeds.

    nice win last nite ... they were outplaying the islanders for the most part but still fall victim to that defensive zone melt down ... grabovski is looking pretty awesome now ... checking the top line and scoring ... that pass to macarthur was a thing of beauty ...

    Here is the best thing I've read in a while.....
    It does come from HockeyBuzz - so - take it with a grain of salt....

    "Been on the phone all day looking into the rumors I am hearing out of New York that are saying the Maple Leafs may be closing in on their man...

    As one source called it.."The biggest trade of the year is all but set."

    Another source said, "I wouldn't yet say it was done, but I will say it is the answer the team has needed for some time. A top line scorer...It may take a few days though..

    There have been a few names being thrown around, but the names that are the most common are that of either Blue jacket Nash or Carter. I have also heard Getzlaf mentioned today...for the first time from a guy who is familiar with it. Stay tuned... "

    GET NASH BURKIE!!!!!!! 2nd option is Getzlaf. We are not too horny about Carter, his injury history, or his contract.

    i don't think the ducks are out of it ... they have been the hottest team in the last 10 games ... not sure if they will blow it up just yet ... and considering the lupul and gardiner for beauchemain trade ... i'm guessing they are gonna be gun shy ... columbus on the other hand definitely needs to do something ...

    nice bounce back win ... despite that horrible third period the night before ... short memories ... best thing this team could have ... :lol:

    Of those 3 names mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Getzlaf. Burke has quite the tendency to make deals with the Ducks since his departure.
