Amazingly, the very fragile Joffrey Lupul has not yet been injured during his 2 game comeback. He must be very tired though so he decided to take a rest by getting suspended for a couple of games. Even the "skill" players on the leafs (sorry for the obvious contradiction!) act like goons.

Tonight's Leafs/Sabres game might be the most exciting game i've seen all season.
The Leafs lost the extra LOSER point in the skills competition on a couple of lucky goals. No big deal, it's simply a skills competition. Great five minutes of overtime, though. Too bad it only lasted five minutes. If Kenneth Holland of the Dead Things from Detroit (the worse city in the world!) gets his way, the extra period will be extended to 10 minutes.
In other news, the Leafs & Habs were overjoyed to hear last week that the Dead Things will be joining their division next season. Finally, there's light at the end of the tunnel!!! :thumb:

You Win Joe.t, lol, less than an hour like you predicted, hahahhaah!
Doc, go easy on the little guy below, the dead things are slowly going back to their 40 plus years of "suckie time" while the Leafs and "other" Canadian teams are heading upwards in the standings.
As far as dEtroit being the worst city in the world, well, even tho i have a friend there, i have to agree. Been there many times and the best thing about the motor city these days are the "dead things" and that my friend ain't saying much :lol:

I just posted in the other thread about the latest dominant win by the always fabulous Detroit Red Wings and it got me thinking about the OPPOSITE of the Wings.
Well, that must be the stinkin' toronto maple leafs - a team that NEVER gets it right, a team that hasn't had a sniff at the Cup in 46 years and counting, a team best known for the shameful sex scandals in its former barn, a team owned at various times by the notorious Harold Ballard, the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan, and a bunch of suits who know SQUAT about hockey.
This national embarrassment, this utter laughingstock, this PIMPLE on the face of hockey is the ONE BAD THING blemishing a great sport. When will the NHL wise up and boot this hopeless sad sack franchise out of the league once and for all?

Please explain that to the dead thing fans that grew up watching them years ago, here let me help...
1967–82: The "Dead Wings" era
Only a year after making the Finals, the Red Wings finished a distant fifth, 24 points out of the playoffs. It was the beginning of a slump from which they would not emerge for almost 20 years. Between 1967 and 1983, Detroit only made the playoffs twice, winning one series. From 1968 to 1982, the Wings had 14 head coaches (not counting interim coaches), with none lasting more than three seasons. In contrast, their first six full-time coaches – Art Duncan, Adams, Ivan, Jimmy Skinner and Abel – covered a 42–year period. During this dark era in franchise history, the team was derisively known as the "Dead Wings"[15] or "Dead Things".

"WOW" is right: That's "2 times" MORE than the stinkin' leafs in the past decade!
And you're ALSO right about Detroit being known for sucking - as in SUCKING champagne from the Stanley Cup (something the stinkin' leafs have been ignorant of for 46 YEARS AND COUNTING.
Congratulations to the leafs on their latest ONE GAME WINNING STREAK.
By beating the Bruins - despite being outplayed and outshot by a staggering 33 to 13 - the leafs now have an amazing TWO wins in their last EIGHT games.
By leaf standards winning 2 and losing 6 is pretty damned impressive. True, they were totally dominated in one of their two wins, but hey: a win's a win, especially when they come so rarely for a crappy team like the leafs.
THIRTEEN freakin' shots in an entire game? Even for the stinkin' leafs that's pathetic!

Tampa GM fires head coach Guy Boucher
In other hockey news this morning, the inept Tampa Lightning GM has fired head coach Guy Boucher. It's a shame that the incompetent GM gets to keep his job & like usual, the coach gets the axe. The GM hasn't made a decent transaction in years & if it weren't for the fact that they've been able to draft very high for years (Stamkos, Hedman, Lecavalier, etc) by regularly finishing close to the basement, this team's future would be as bleak as the rest of the NHL's worse teams.
A new coach won't likely change much. You have to cut the head at the top & start over with a new GM who'll come in with new ideas & make good transactions for the team in order to help his next coach by providing him with superior players & goaltending. Sadly for Lightning fans, the current GM has failed in all aspects & i grade him a giant "F".
The best of luck to the very competent Guy Boucher. He won't stay unemployed for very long, you can bank on it.

And Boston is STILL thanking Burkie for taking the Invisible "Beast" off its hands, giving them a player who will be a superstar for many years, and hand-delivering them a Stanley Cup.
As we all know, Burkie was a great GM - unfortunately he was great for Boston, not Toronto!
These words certainly bring to mind the axing of the hated Ron Wilson. Of course Wilson should have been fired long before, but the incompetent GM kept him on as the leafs got worse and worse. Finally Burkie threw his friend under the boss when he realized that his own job was in jeopardy.
Luckily for leaf fans, ownership FINALLY saw the light and pushed Burkie out the door also. UNluckily for leaf fans however, their team will continue to ROT for many years. Two reasons: 1. The Architect of Disaster made so many boneheaded moves and sacrificed so much of the team's future that it's impossible for them to recover, and 2. They're the freakin' leafs: they're SUPPOSED to suck!
You may be the first and last person on gods green earth to call Phil Kessel a defensive beast!! Bwwwaaaahhh!! Typical Kessel performance last night, NO Goals, NO Assists, NO SHOTS...NO GOOD!!!
