Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted April 19, 2003 Well, looks like the Leafs are going to have to win 2 in a row now. That's ok, they can do it. thats if they don't played half-assed, and take stupid penelties. I wonder how long Dejardans is going to be out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted April 19, 2003 They didn't take too many stupid penalties today, besides Tucker's for closing his hand on the puck. If Desjardins doesn't play game 6, that will help them a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted April 19, 2003 Belfour's getting way too many calls for interference. That Handzeus(?) call in the third was BORDERLINE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Memoirs of an Invisible Chevy Report post Posted April 19, 2003 The Flyers have worked the Leafs the WHOLE series. This shouldn't come as any surprise. Belfour looked quite nomral tonight, and the scoreboard showed it. Whats even sadder? Chechmanek is absolutely brutal - and the Leafs can't even get any offense going. Their team is complete hype, and is based on being bullies. The problem? They are playing the Broadstreet Bullies. This will be over in game 6. The Leafs need to make some major changes - starting with unloading the goons Domi and Tucker. Maybe they could invest in...you know...TALENT. Besides Sundin, Mogilny, and Nolan - this team is 100% hype. Hype Hype Hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted April 19, 2003 Maybe they could invest in...you know...TALENT. Besides Sundin, Mogilny, and Nolan - this team is 100% hype. Hype Hype Hype. Yeah, they could (who wouldn't mind having more talent for their team?), but talent can only carry you so far. Just ask the Red Wings or the Rangers. In the NHL, you need heart, determination, teamwork and a hot goalie. The Leafs are lacking the teamwork and determination right now, and that's why they're down 3-2. And I wouldn't really call the team hype. People tend to forget that as much as the Toronto media is "rah-rah" about the Leafs, they're just as quick to bash them when they do the slightest thing wrong (see Raptors, Toronto). It's just that Toronto is a large media centre, so any reports made about the Leafs tend to be more magnified than reports about, say St. Louis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted April 19, 2003 True. Leaf media overexaggerates. (Especially anything that goes into the sun). Desjardins would be a loss to the Flyers, but he's not the biggest, or the best defensive defencemen that they have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some even picked them to win the cup. How foolish. Listen to the CBC announcers - they are the biggest Leaf fanboys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Listen to the CBC announcers - they are the biggest Leaf fanboys. OK, I see now - you're confusing bias with hype. Hype is saying that the current Leafs are sliced bread #3 - which I haven't heard ANYONE (not named Cherry) say. Bias is the announcers favouring the Leafs - which frankly everyone now expects since that's all Cole and Neale cover. Neale in particular, since he does almost all the Leaf games. Seriously, if you stuck Cuthbert in there as the lead PBP guy then I think you'd get a more balanced call. As for Cherry... I dunno, maybe it's my OWN bias against him, but I don't count him as a credible source for hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted April 20, 2003 Dallas wins 3-2, taking the series 4-2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ISportsFan Report post Posted April 20, 2003 I thought Edmonton was gonna pull it out when they had that huge run going throughout the second period and the first part of the third, but Dallas got the chance to take the lead and stick their defense back on Edmonton. Minnesota got the huge win today (that's the game I got on ABC today, anyway), and it seemed as if Roy wasn't really sharp today. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted April 20, 2003 Dallas wins 3-2, taking the series 4-2. Kinda puts a cramp in the chances for an all-Canadian finals (aka Gary Bettman's biggest fear), doesn't it? One of these days Edmonton won't meet Dallas in the first round and will actually advance. But at the rate things are going, I may be 50 before that happens...

Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted April 20, 2003 the only person that is biased on the CBC commentary is Harry Neale, and sometimes he'll use an excuse that is very true, or far-fetched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2003 Sorry I've been gone for three days, didn't want to make it seem I disappear just because the Blues lost! Should be a huge Game 6 tonight. And I agree with starvenger, it is a shame that the Oilers ALWAYS get the Stars, and they play them really well, just never enough to win a series. So how many of these games entering Game 6 are going to the 7th? I think Colorado/Minnesota and Philly/Toronto probablky will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
