The 2005/2006 Hockey Season Thread

[gunnar hendershow]

Two one-goal losses, and we have fans all over the world jumping ship for the Habs/the Sens. Even a friend of mine said he didn't like the Leafs any more. Course, he changed his tune when I kicked him in the crotch.

Who was the player that Bertuzzi actually took out in the first place?

Steve Moore?

Yeah, Steve Moore. Moore's taking this to ungodly levels expressing his dislike how Bertuzzi can get on the ice before he can. How wrong that is.

Well, Steve, just so you know. That wasn't the diritiest hit in hockey history. And even the guys who did that got reinstated.

Wow, Ottawa looked great last night, especially Hasek. If he can stay healthy and continue to have performances like that then this team is the real deal. If they play like that on Monday then the Leafs are going to be in for a long night.

Why the Maple Leafs lost to Montreal:

Wade Belak

2005-2006 Maple Leafs 1 0 0 0 -3 0 0 0 0 0 2 0

Aki Berg

2005-2006 Maple Leafs 2 0 1 1 -2 0 0 0 0 0 0

And they were on for the Steen goal.

I have to admit, Belak and Berg are hardly the best players to put on the ice against a team like Montreal. In fact, screw it, they shouldn't even be ON the ice at all.

[Clawson]

Ugh.....the Leafs are dominating the Sens again chances wise but losing.

I hope the inevitable event in which Hasek's groin explodes happens soon.

Don't they still have that Emery guy to back him up? I heard he was pretty good, but that was...a while ago.

[Toe]

YES! This game has been exciting! Domi and Wilm both scored to tie it up at 4!

I spoke too soon. 5-4, NIK FUCKING ANTROPOV! Yes!

Ugh......I thought the refs are supposed to blow the whistle after 3 seconds maximum when you can't see it. 3 seconds passed before Belfour fell over and they got to knock it in.

Fuck that was Belak. FUCK BELAK.

[Toe]

I hate Wade Belak. Everyone has a place on the Leafs team except him.

A win here would really help the Leafs. Until they win one, I think they will have a huge wait on there shoulders to prove that this new team can win.

Okay so Havlat can knee on knee Domi with no penalty yet when Ottawa rushes and the Leafs d-man pushes the Ottawa forward off the puck then it is one? Fuck, come on refs, let's have some consistentency.

[gunnar hendershow]

Exciting game between the Pens and Sabres. Sabres won 3-2 in OT. Much to the pleasure of my father (Buffalo native).

[Clawson]

Leafs and Sens going into a shootout again.

Jesus Christ, this isn't good for my health.

EDIT: I love how good Ottawa is when it turns into an individual game. And I've had it with the shootout. This is an absolutely horrible way to end a good hockey game. It was back and forth with both teams putting in a good effort as a team. Then it comes down to an individual performance. This isn't hockey. The 65 minutes before it was.

Dissapointing finish, Toronto comes back just to lose in another shootout.

[Ananas]

Fucking shootouts are the scourge of our game. It's the most innaccurate way of deciding a winner that's ever been tried.

[Clawson]

Really this would be like baseball going "hey it's been a good game, let's have home run derby to decide the winner." Honestly if you don't want ties then just let them play.

[SeanDMan]

...say the Leaf fans after two straight losses.

[gunnar hendershow]

Baseball does extra innings.

Basketball plays it until someone is ahead at the end of an OT period.

Hockey can do it too.

Or they can have it be a tie, which I like more since it adds more intrigue to the standings.

<---- NOT a Leafs fan.
