Montreal win 3-2 (OT)
Steve says:
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
We played so well last night. Really patient passing and play making. If it wasn't for Price being so damn good last night, that game would have been a blowout.
And then McCabe happened.
How does this guy look at himself in a Leaf jersey? Who does that? In pee wee hockey they are taught to never put the puck to the middle. He could have done any number of things...thrown it in the right corner...skate in and take a shot....pass into the left corner where Sundin was WIDE open...but McCabe chose to do the one play a defence man knows to NEVER do...throw it across the middle...
Maybe he just figured he could save us all some time and elected to jump right to the Shootout portion of the evening.
Next time, don't do us any favours McCabe....
As an aside, Blake looked great and was actually passing for a change...Raycroft was pretty solid..made some decent saves including a toe save that I, along with every other viewer, thought would go in.
That's 2 points for McCabe against us...and counting...
Chris:
What can I say?
Steve has pretty much taken the words out of my mouth. Every bone headed play McCabe makes further reduces the likelihood that we'll ever be able to trade him for more than a package of airline peanuts and stale flop sweat. We're already bearing the weight of his over priced contract and I can't see that changing any time soon.
Steve:
The only positive as of late is that we have played a lot better since the spanking we rec'd by Ottawa...so..maybe we just bench McCabe and get some wins for a change...you know, McCabe might be ok with playing in the minors...I'm sure he can't be enjoying being the scapegoat.
