I'm....okay with it. Now, go out, vote and be merry.

I preferred the one by the kid...

Game 1 - Win #1 3-2 vs. Detroit
Chris says:
....son of a bitch...
Did....did....did the Leafs just win that?
Wow. Nicely done.
More energy than skill. But I don't say that to be negative. A win is a win. It was a great effort and despite all the roadblocks ahead of them I wish the Leafs the best.
Go Leafs go!
Steve says:
I actually missed the game because I had to play a gig with Shannon Rose...but during our soundcheck, I was able to sneak off to a nearby pub that had the game showing on their patio. I managed to see the 2nd goal the Leafs scored and, while not a pretty goal, it showed that this team is going to fight the other team for every inch of ice out there...
then I was distracted by the group of Uni students that arrived...all the women were in bras and panties...not sure what was going on, but I knew it was going to be a good night all around...
played a great show, and then found out from a buddy that we had actually won!...I was totally shocked!
Great goal (and steal) by Kulemin....
Go Leafs!
next up, the Habs...

Is Schenn in?
found this in an article by Mike ulmer on mapleleafs.com today...
http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/team/app/?servic...rticleid=384203
Unless he completely regresses, Luke Schenn seems sure to make the Leafs. The Leafs are sure to carry Pavel Kubina, Jonas Frogren, Tomas Kaberle, Anton Stralman and Jeff Finger. That likely leaves two or three sports for competition between Carlo Colaiacovo, Ian White (ugh), Mike Van Ryn and Staffan Kronwall.
Chris says:
Don't believe everything you read. It would be better for the Leafs over the long hall if they sent this guy down for a little seasoning.

pre-season game #2
Leafs lost, but it was a decent game...
2 of the Pens goals went in off our Defenceman's skate...so that's just bad luck...
the 3rd Pens goal was a bed turnover by Stralman...he fell down coughed up the puck to Malkin...big mistake...
Our goalie had no chance...2 on 0....besides that, he was awesome in nets...
Our forwards didn't do a whole lot until the 2nd half of the game...then Blake and Kulemin started to really turn it on...the Pens goalie kept them in the game for sure...Antropov started using his size which was good to see...knocking around the Pens defenders :-)
2 late goals (including a highlight goal by Grabovski) made it close, but no cigar...
I'm ok with the loss...at least we didn't give up like we have in years past....and Grabovski showed that he could be an offensive power with some more ice time...woo hoo...

Free Agency rant
Steve:
what do you think of the idea of having Cujo back to backup Vesa...maybe pass on some knowledge...and be a decent back up to rest Vesaeverynow and then...he wouldn't command a lot of $$...and could fill in for 20-ish gamesHoward Berger says he has a few sources that say that it is likely thatCujo will end up in Toronto tomorrow (July 1)
thoughts?
Chris:
Cujo for one year at 700k isn't terrible.Then we bring up Pogge to backup Toskala with the eventual idea ofmaking him your starter.
Steve:
exactly...I think it's a great acquisition.I'm on the fence about Jeff Finger...looks like he could turn out to begood, but that's a big chunk of coin for an unproven guy...
Chris:
On Ron Wilson's say so it sounds.
Steve:
he's got good #'s and i remember him in the play-offs and thinking thathewas a solid hitter...I think he's a good add simply because he is a stay at home Dman...whichissomething we have needed for a while...he doesn't do much offensively, but ...they say the best offence is a good defence!
Chris:
I'm not sold on him yet.But he'll have lots of time to prove himself.
Steve:
i just youtubed Finger (man...that sounds dirty)and a lot of his footage is big hits followed by fights, where Fingerstakes guys down to the ice...
Chris:
So they're looking for a new Domi/Tucker
Steve:
basically...I thought Mayers was the new Tucker...
it just looks to me that we are getting big guys that can play welldefensively which falls inline with Ron Wilson's style of coaching...I guess we are hoping that Blake and Antro and Stajan all turn it up anotch to core more goals..It makes sense since a lot of our losses were due to poor D play and notdue to lack of goals....I think we can score enough (especially if Kelumin turns out to be asgoodas his reports say he will...)...we just need to keep the puck out ofourown net...especially in the 3rd period..
Chris:
I still say we need a better goal scorer
Steve:
i don't disagree...but lets see what Fletch does...and Kulemin might be pretty damn good...
I don't see how Sundin can turn down the Canuck offer...so I doubt he iscoming to us...
screwed at trade deadline,...screwed in offseason...damn
Chris:
20 mill for two years.Damn. I want him back but if that's his worth on the free market...
Steve:
and Mats just announced that he isnt ready to make a decision yet about next year!http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=242264&lid=headline&lpos=topStory_main
that means even $20mil cant make him hurry up...crazyso..my thinking is that he is either going to retire, or is waiting to see what Fletch does...or..that he is thinking that even at $20 mill he is still not joining a cup contender...but he didn't exactly jump at the MTL offers did he?and Detroit took Hossa..so...that's out...
Chris:
Or he could retire and then come back to a cup contender just before the
trade deadline.
Steve:
I don't see that happening as that would make him a Rental player...and we know how he feels about that...
