Errrr....wait, did we just score 4 goals in the third period and manage to not blow it?

Weird.

Oh right I almost forgot......TTTTTTTLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...sorry

Well he wasn't the first Leaf to score three goals in his first game, but at least it's a pretty safe bet that he was the first Leaf to score his first goal with his ass.

Which now raises the bar higher. Now we need him to do it three times. Ass Trick!

People could throw plastic asses all on the ice...except for Detroit, who will inexplicably throw clams

"He shoot to my ass and I a little bit feel it, but I don't say nothing," Tlusty explained in broken English of his first goal.

[Ananas]

God bless his poor command of the English language.

We need one of those horrible GIFs of Bad Boys II where Martin Lawerence gets shot in the ass by Will Smith but replace their faces with Steener and Jiri.

Montreal wins their third straight 7-4. Montreal scores 5 in the first and 5 powerplay goals.

[Slogger]

4-7-1?

What the fuck is happening to the champs?

Just like Carolina and Tampa Bay (to a lesser extent) before them, the Ducks are feeling the Cup hangover. Add in the whole playing in London for the first two games, the Ducks are probably just now getting back to normal.

I was looking at the Northeast Standings today, and I really wish that the bitch point didn't exist, Ottawa could care less right now, but while yes it is only 10 games into the season, I'm sure Boston doesn't appreciate that a 5-4 Montreal team and a 4-7 Toronto team are tied and one point behind the 6-3 Bruins.

I just had an accident at the thought of Tavares becoming a Leaf, so while I'm getting some new pants, is there even a grain of likelihood in that story.

I'm guessing the Leafs just are not fans of home cooking this season, like last year?

Wow, Montreal pushed around Pittsburgh like they were children for exactly 20:49. After they pulled Fleury, Pittsburgh woke up and Montreal stopped playing it was brutal. Thank god we still won in the shootout, we pulled a T.O. and dropped a 3 goal lead, but still, 4 in a row is good.

Also, Crosby pulled one of his dives again, and I was trying to figure this penalty out. So Kovalev cross checks Malkin and gets 2, but when he hits Malkin, Crosby jumps on Kovalev and starts going after him, Kovalev doesn't so much as fight back, but the two of them get a roughing penalty, while we still won, that penalty turned the tide of the game.

The shootout to end the Habs game was awesome. Sabourin and Price were impressive and even though I only got to see the shootout and the last few minutes of the game (because I got the Rangers/Leafs game on CBC...) I was blown away. If the rest of the game was half that exciting, it must have been really good.

In regard to Tavares... I'm sure that I've already read somewhere that the idea of him joining the Leafs in any way, shape or form has been completely shut down.

Well then again we only let one in, in the third period... We also still won the game.

[Toe]

Really?

This is the game you play after winning two straight on the road?

[The Sultan of Swank]

For all you know they could bounce back with an 8-2 win next game...

I'd rather have some consistency in goal, in defence, and in offence.
