Usually I post Twitter updates but I'll post Leafs thread highlights.


"Don't forget Hall's deliberate head butt on Lupul... he might have just become the most hated player for me outside of the Habs... dirty boy..."

"Apart from those pesky Flyers. Missed trips, hits to the head and now Hall swinging off Reimer's stick... its very poopty officiating"

"He grabbed the stick and skated while holding it with the ref looking right at it."

i'm all in on huskins as #6

Poor bastard needs a real jersey number, though.

Makes you wonder how good those supposed stars are.. Playing as a team now..

can't we have both of those things at once?

please?

Man the Leafs board is like 28 clones of 2Real!

I thought our fans cried about everything.

i peeped it

would love to see them come out and dictate play in the third instead of sitting back with the lead

I wouldnt be suprised to see the Leafs get one more.

They will probably buckle, but lets see if they break.

It got the point across!

Both Flyers goals in that period were the result of solid positioning by the 3rd forward. Schenn is in good position to breakup a pass on the breakout by the Leafs, resulting in a turnover, and a goal. Same with Couturier, high in the zone in good position. Errant pass, turnover, shot on net with traffic in front. Another goal. I give Laviolette credit for the changes he has made. But what took him so long!

Lavi and his Flyers are true Globetrotters: they save their best moves for the last quarter.

I don't care what the reason is. This is the way they should've been playing all year.

Yeah but Mez, Coburn and Briere can't get it done with this particular set of players. They play much better without them.

I peeped. Laughed too.

Really love seeing Coots play better out there. Seems to have some of his confidence back, I am really happy they got some fire in their ass instead of just waiting for the year to end.

Good for the kids.

Again... he`s 20.. work in progress, but I am excited to see him play better as well.. He`s gonna be great... that`s wht every GM wanted him, and why we didn`t trade him..

the headbutt comment was my fave

Disagree completely that they can't get it done with those players. They'd surely be better with Coburn and a healthy Meszaros on the back end. Especially playing the style they're playing.

One of the biggest things is they have started scoring more.

I remember so many games where if they got 2 goals, you had to pray for a 3rd.

Don`t mind Hall either.. team of Scrubs getting it done..

The better defensive play, is why they're scoring more.

Aight boys. Keep it simple. Puck support. Get it deep and short shifts. Let's see some franking jam! Somebody give Bryz a sedative.

Disagree completely that it has anything to do with those players out hurt. They'd surely be better with Coburn and a healthy Meszaros on the back end. Especially playing the style they're playing.

Agreed, but I'm pleasantly suprised how the 6 d-men are playing as a unit. Gervais has really stepped up his game. Gus and Oliver contributing.

Wow, that leaf board is a glimpse into all the irrational things I utter in my living room during a game, I dare not post it in a forum.

A near-perfect fill-in for Talbot.

Huge sit back period

Solid D, tenacity on the puck, and a VERY good PP.. the way they were moving the puck in the first was awesome..very confident.

Rosehill now gets the 4th goal hahah
