    HA!!!...well, I'm not going to deny that my Loafs sucked hard opening night...that they did without question...

    And I expected a stronger game from the Loafs last night but thought before the game that Ottawa would win but closer game overall...

    But I WASN'T one of the silly Leafs fans saying "this year we're gettin' the cup"...I'll just be happier for a better season than last... :crazy:

    ahhhhh...Hockey's Back!!!!!! :o:):o

    Leafs CRUSH Sens...

    Leafs rebound to crush Senators

    Last Updated: Friday, October 6, 2006 | 12:25 AM ET

    CBC Sports

    The Toronto Maple Leafs bounced back from a lacklustre performance in their season opener to humble a stunned Ottawa Senators team Thursday night at Scotiabank Place.

    Toronto produced an unexpectedly good night of special-teams play that spearheaded a convincing 6-0 win over the Senators in the back leg of a home-and-home series against its Northeast Division rivals.

    Andrew Raycroft makes a save off Senators forward Patrick Eaves during Toronto's 6-0 win over Ottawa Thursday night at Scotiabank Place.

    The Leafs, who went 0-5 with the man advantage during their 4-1 defeat to Ottawa Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre, scored twice on the power play and also added another short-handed goal.

    Darcy Tucker and Chad Kilger led Toronto with two goals apiece, while Kyle Wellwood led all scorers with four assists.

    Leafs captain Mats Sundin also had a productive night, finishing the game with two assists.

    Goaltender Andrew Raycroft had another solid performance for Toronto, stopping all 34 Ottawa shots. Despite Wednesday's lopsided defeat to the Senators, Raycroft made 32-of-35 saves.

    "It's nice to get it out of the way," said Raycroft, who stopped 34 shots. "You don't want to go 0-2 to start the season, then the sticks start tightening up."

    Turnabout for the Leafs

    Missed scoring opportunities, an inept power play and poor defensive coverage contributed to Toronto's eighth loss in its last nine meetings against Ottawa prior to Thursday's game.

    But this night proved a complete reversal for the Leafs.

    Toronto surprised Ottawa with a short-handed goal at 11:03 of the first period to open the scoring.

    With the Senators pressing in Toronto's zone, Chad Kilger broke up ice, took a pass from Mike Peca and blasted a low shot that beat goaltender Martin Gerber under his left pad.

    "It was nice for us to get out and get a lead and see how we handle it," Kilger said.

    The Leafs took a 2-0 lead more than three minutes later on the power play. Defenceman Bryan McCabe fed Darcy Tucker, who snapped a shot over the shoulder of Gerber to the short side.

    Raycroft bailed out his teammates following a turnover in Ottawa's end that turned into a breakaway by Peter Schaefer.

    As Schaefer raced in on Raycroft, the Toronto netminder alertly used a poke check to steer the puck out of harm's way with less than two minutes remaining in the first.

    "I thought he played well [Wednesday]," Toronto coach Paul Maurice said of Raycroft, who drew some criticism from the media following the season-opening loss. "And I thought this was a just result."

    Kilger notched his second goal of the game at 5:42 of the second period to give Toronto a 3-0 advantage.

    Gerber left the puck behind the net following a Leaf shoot-in, expecting defenceman Wade Redden to pass by. However, Alex Steen beat the Ottawa defenceman to the puck and flipped a pass in front to Kilger, who converted a one-timer past Gerber.

    The Leafs increased their lead to 4-0 with their second power-play goal less than four minutes later. Tucker grabbed the rebound in the slot and slid the puck under Gerber for his second goal of the night.

    "We go in there and win and they pat themselves on the back it looked like," Senators coach Bryan Murray said of his team. "We talked about being a team that wants to work and play hard and we didn't do a very good job of that."

    Forward Alexei Ponikarovsky gave the Leafs a five-goal lead with less than three minutes remaining in the second, redirecting Sundin's shot in front of Gerber.

    After Gerber allowed five goals on only 24 shots through the first two periods, Senators coach Bryan Murray replaced him with Ray Emery to start the third.

    The Leafs finished off the scoring in the third period on a goal by Bates Battaglia.

    It was only the 2nd game of the season, but what a great game last night. Gerber looked like sh*t. The mighty Sens were beaten in every aspect of the game. So many Sens fans and Leaf fans have been spouting off after one lost. Give me a break.

    C'mon...it's hockey, it's the battle of Ontario and it's all just trash talking banter that's part of it...

    There's much more to come... ;)

  19. Sens tickets advice?

    in Rich Stadium

    Posted

    So...now it look like I will be in Ottawa on the weekend of Jan 12-13 and it also looks like I have 4 of my best friends flying up from the Island for the weekend as well....lo and behold, who is also in Ottawa that weekend but les Glorieux; Habs and Sens Saturday afternoon(its so perfect). Anything I need to know about the best way to get tickets, or do I just go to the Sens website and do the normal stuff...I will probably be looking for 6 cheap seats.

    Just thought I would throw this out and see if anyone had anything to say.

    Advice??? Well, it wouldn't be so much a waste of your money if it was the Habs vs The Leafs...the "original" rivalry...but I guess watching the Habs take it to the Sens will be worth the ticket price... ;)

    Hey Punk, who's making the journey from the island? Possibly Jokey???

  20. Domi retires...

    Posted

    The Habs did not need Domi - as Andre and I discussed in the past, but I grew to like the guy. He brought it every game, unlike most of the Leafs.

    Whether you liked him or not there is no denying that he did bring it to every game...the last couple of seasons he was a catalyst for the Leafs...

    Happy Retirement Domi and see you on TSN as we will watch the Leafs pummel The Sens all season... :P

    I managed to update things, but I think I overwrote my custom stylesheet so I'll have to sort that out. Some things may look odd, so if you see anything at all that doesn't look quite right, please let me know in this thread.

    I'm seeing a 'Warning' from the php engine which I'll also have to figure out. Something in newpost.php on line 738!

    That avatar of yours doesn't look quite right at all... ;)
