You didnt call 911 Did you????

I am just in busting balls for fun. Hell I am a leafs fan, that should tell you all.

Truth is i have a hard time supporting Boston because 1) I am a Canadian 2) we gave you some of the missing pieces for this cup run in exchange for Kessel! Only consolation is the conditional 2nd round pick comes back to Toronto now as you made the cup finals. So if nothing else it was less expensive to get Kessel. 3) we gave you Kaberle as well and Rask. Rask was a mistake, Toronto had to decide between Pogue and Rask. They kept Pogue who has vanished into the ether.

At Least with you guys in the finals we get the conditional second round back on the Kessel deal and another 2nd conditional second round on the Kaberle deal. So if memory serves me we now have 2 first round picks this year and 2 second round picks. That ought to translate to a bag of pucks and a new whistle for Ron Wilson with our recent draft record

Okay, I'll give you the Rask deal, but Kaberle?! Have you watched him playing for the B's? The B's desperately need to start building their defensive corps soon, with young players who will be around for a while.

Not sure I follow the Kaberle comment. IMO he was way over rated in Toronto. Hence I said Rask was a mistake did not mention Tomas. If he is playing well then good for you guys and him to I guess. I am sure playing in Toronto is tuff. Everything Leafs is under a microscope. If Burke has a 2 flusher in the morning it is front page of the sports section, if it is hockey stick shaped then it is front page of the paper.

Maybe that pressure was to much for Kaberle, but i always thought he was soft and got beat at bad times or found himself out of position resulting in goals. Lots of Leafs fans felt differently I am sure, but those are Leaf Fans not hockey fans

I took that part as you making as if Toronto did us a favor and it bothers you we have him now.

Pfft. Gladly saw the back of his ass going through the door.

Well I must say Andrew Ference looked pretty darn good for Vancouver tonight, not surprisingly!!

John

Chara looks hurt. 11 seconds into OT and losing that battle is inexcusable. Then on the tie goal he looked like he had 2 left feet on the cycle.

Canucks up 2-0.... Van in 5?

Our cable TV went out 5 minutes before the puck dropped!!!!!!!!!! What a bummer,so had to go old school and listen to it on the radio (the whole game). To tell you the truth,its not a gut wrenching as watching it!!! So now i will go to espn and see the low lights!!!!!!

Do yourself a favour. Do not watch the overtime goal. Was really not a pretty end to a game that the Bruins were leading in the 3rd
