Whitey Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Dave-O, you are absolutely right. But at the time of that trade I was happy that they made that move. In hindsight, it did not work out but that was the first time in many years that the Leafs had finally made a trade at the deadline to hopefully improve their team. Sometimes the deadline moves work out sometimes they don't. It is part of the gamble. See Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 LOL ... that's what they get for broadcasting on LeafTV . Glad I didn't waste my time, or money, on that crap. What a joke.I liked the following comments from tsn.caThe home fans didn't hide their disappointment, soundly booing the Leafs as they left the ice both at the end of the second period and at the final buzzer and several times in-between. They also have goalie Andrew Raycroft, who replaced starter Vesa Toskala after Washington's fourth goal, several mock cheers after easy saves in the second and third period.By the time the third period started, at least one third of the Air Canada Centre was empty and one small section could be heard chanting ``Let's Go Raptors!''. The NBA season starts Wednesday for Toronto's club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I actually enjoyed the game. It was an early Halloween horror show and I love horror shows. I get the HD Leaf channel for free, so I flipped between quarters of the great football game to the Leaf fiasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I got to see the 2nd and 3rd periods. Lively game. Great watching both teams go end to end with few whistles a couple of times. Goalies were looking pretty damn good too. Fun game ... hope to see more like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 The "Battle of Ontario" (geez I hate that expression) resumes tonight! Let the trash talking begin. I'll be there tonight - should be a fun game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Agreed, always a fun match up. It should be interesting with Bell back tonight. I am eager to see him play. Also, I am excited to see Wellwood coming back. Hopefully they will be quality additions to the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 http://www.thestar.com/article/273880Senators might be too smart for own goodHockey spirits are riding high in Ottawa these days, and so they should be.Rather than taking a step backwards after their flaccid performance in the Stanley Cup final against Anaheim last spring, the Sens have come flying out of the gate this fall, winning 12 of 13.As it is, who could blame the Ottawa skaters for being overconfident when the puck is dropped tonight against the Maple Leafs and their league-worst defence?Many canny personnel moves, needless to say, have been made by a variety of people in the nation's capital in recent years and some are raving over the fact that the Sens locked up centre Jason Spezza for seven years at the princely cost of $49 million (all figures U.S.) last week as though this was a resourceful act born of divine inspiration.Still, Ottawa appears to have, with its core in place and locked up, years of success ahead.The key word there, of course, is "appears."There's no guarantee that all of this will work out. Is it possible, for example, that both Spezza and Dany Heatley (six years, $45 million) will play superbly for the duration of their contracts, never once causing fans to gripe that they're stealing money?Right now, of course, everything looks just gorgeous. Even signing Martin Gerber last year now looks brilliant, and other than Spezza's balky groin, there seems not to be a cloud in the sunny, blue skies over Ottawa's red-hot hockey team.But while everything Eugene Melnyk touches turns to gold, the Leafs are portrayed as the daft uncle down the road who can't read or write, the idiot team that can't skate straight.Now, we media types in the GTA have hammered the locals early and often this season, but at a certain point the burgeoning arrogance of the hockey faithful in Bytown – many of whom have clearly mastered email – starts to grate.One might think they'd wait until the first Stanley Cup banner goes up at the place-your-corporate-name-here rink before losing their humble demeanour, but that's not the case.Moreover, if the Sens are Mensa-smart for building slowly, drafting well and developing effectively, perhaps a look at the Leafs in that regard is instructive.Ottawa, depending on its roster alignment tonight, will likely dress 12 or 13 drafted players. The Leafs, if Kyle Wellwood returns, may dress nine such players, unofficially the highest total for a Leaf team in a decade, possibly two.Look back to the 2001-02 season, for example, and only one player who had been drafted by the Leafs and had played only for the Leafs skated in more than 25 games that season. The '93 Western Conference finalists had seven players of that description.Six of the Leaf draftees in the lineup tonight, meanwhile, will be 24 years of age or younger, and John Ferguson's group believes that it has two 21-year-old stars of the future in Marlie goalie Justin Pogge and Nikolai Kulemin, a 12-goal shooter in 24 Russian league games this season.All in all, that's progress, or at the very least, an intelligent change of approach for the Leaf hockey department despite all ownership has done to undermine those hired to make hockey decisions in order to find a shortcut to even two or three games of playoff revenue and feed the 22 per cent profit margin monster.Ottawa, clearly, has used a logical draft-and-develop blueprint to build the terrific team it now ices on a nightly basis.So maybe, to be fair, if they're geniuses in Ottawa – after all, they've got one Stanley Cup final victory now to lord over all – they can't be total dummies down south here in Ontario's second city of hockey.

There are already 11 Stanley Cup banners at Ottawa's place-your-corporate-name-here rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) http://www.thestar.com/article/273880Senators might be too smart for own goodPathetic. I'd be embarrassed to post something like that... let alone read it and think there was anything healthy or useful in Maple Leafs land.Edit to add:With no McCabe to blame... there's got to be 12 or 13 Maple Leafs vying for the worst player on the ice tonight. ::Savors the flavor:: Edited November 7, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Was there a game tonight? Guess I didn't miss much of anything. I spent my time and money on some quality entertainment in Buffalo at the Zappa Plays Zappa gig. If I had been stupid enough to pay for Leafs TV I'd be writing a letter to cancel and also ask for a refund for anything paid so far. What a joke. I don't even want to watch the highlights.
