starvenger 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2004 Leafs are fucking brilliant at giving their fanbase a collective heart attack... Dont I know it. God there such magnificent bastards!

Der Kommissar 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2004 Well, it looks like the Sharks are going to put away the Avalanche in their series, thus eliminating the last of the "Big Four." I guess this means that whoever wins the Cup will certainly be someone different. It is sort of hard to imagine any of the teams left being Stanley Cup champions. You have a small market, Western Canadian team (Calgary), a team who, up until last year, was a perennial doormat(Tampa), a team who practically makes a yearly ritual of choking in the playoffs then firing somebody(Philadelphia), a team who hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967(Toronto), and San Jose. It should make for an interesting Cup Final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Woolery 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2004 Dude, Kapanen got fucking LEVELED. And Esche is the luckiest motherfucker alive, as he made some positively dumbassed mistakes in that overtime. I counted at least two times that the Leafs should have put it in the net, as it was WIDE open. However, I suppose that's Toronto incompetence. Go Calgary go!

The hit was clean in hockey terms but it was totally unnecessary in the heat of the game. Dare I say it was close to having an intent to injure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also fucking robbed the Leafs on numerous occasions. Face it, the Leafs just weren't good enough. They were too old. Their defense sucks. If it wasn't for Tie Domi and Mats Sundin (arguably my two despised players on that team) they woulda been fucked a long time ago. Most overated player in the league: Brian McCabe. No question. The guy must have a +/- of -10 by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it might be true but still win or in this case lose I'll stick with The Leafs. Did work this year? No. and I wouldn't compare the Leafs roster of the players to the Wings Stanley Cups with: Yzerman, Federov, Shanahan, Hull, Chelios, Lidstrom, Hasek, Draper, ect.. Its not even close. I'll sell by left nut on the black market if the Leafs win a Cup with that core of players. It can't be done. I can't believe how some of you have been brainwashed by the Toronto media to say that some of those players are actually superstars. I'm sorry, but they aren't. McCabe isn't even a second line D-man on a regular NHL team. Niewendyk didn't get signed by anyone else for a reason. Francis was scratched for a reason. Leetch wasn't -35 on the Rangers for no reason. Do you see a pattern? PS. Its sickening to fear Quinn whining to keep his job by blaming injuries for his teams downfall. Look at the Flames, 3 of their top defensemen were injured in the series with the Wings, and they prevailed. McCammond, Reinprecht, and Simon were all injured. Blaming injuries is a fools way out, its a crutch for losers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A finals where both teams home towns atually hockey towns would be good for the finals before, complete with mayors saying that if there citys team doesnt win then they will wear the other teams jeresy, or do something just plain weird.

Chuck Woolery 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2004 He also fucking robbed the Leafs on numerous occasions. They were too old. Their defense sucks. Well, yeah. Esche made a lot of good saves -- the one with about a minute left in the third standing out the most -- but in overtime he cleared the puck in front of his own net several times when he wasn't even there. But, like you said, Toronto was old and worn-out, and the Flyers played excellent defence -- the coverage on Sundin in OT was superb -- to keep them from scoring. And that was some weak-ass defence by Toronto as well. There's no excuse for any two-on-ones in an overtime period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
