I'm stuck watching the damn Sens game because I live in Ottawa...but at least I have the soothing voice of Don Whitman to get me through the night :x :x :x God give me strength!!!
Goulet!!!
LMAO.. :lol: Im gettin tired of Cole- sorry but its time to put him out to pasture. I tell you, if you watch the Habs games in french than turn back to cbc its seems so boring, those french announcers are so exciting, too bad I cant understand half of what they say.

I love Cole's voice, but man, he's completely senile. Tonight he spent half the game calling Antropov "Lindros", and in Belak's 2nd shift (when he got in the fight) he called it Belak's first shift, despite telling a story during Belak's first shift about how Belak was originally going to be scratched but Kilger got scratched instead. Have another scotch Bob!
Stellar victory for the Leafs tonight. That's 6-2 since Captain Clutch came back. Also, that makes the "marginal" Leafs 12-7-2. And the "marginal" Jason Allison had another 2 points tonight, giving the "marginal" Jason Allison 21 points in 21 games.
Dear Steve Simmons,
You are an ass and you don't know what you are talking about. Since you obviously don't know hockey, may I recommend you ask the Sun to change your assignment from bashing the Leafs to covering youth soccer or high school chess.
Best regards,
A Leaf fan who is very, very, very happy Jason Allison is a Leaf and Gary "Pulled Groin" Roberts isn't.

Don Cherry's Crosby bashing has gotten really really old. He was bashing him last year because he didn't want to play in the top prospects game and he's bashing him this year for taking dives. He's an exciting young player who I feel has proven that he is and can be a great player, and he isn't afraid to play a little rough either despite his size, remember that hit he layed on Ovechkin in the world juniors last year. I think Don dislikes him because he wears a visor, because we all know real men don't wear visors, just those whimpy Europeans and French guys :roll: yep I would much rather have Lonny Bohonos than Crosby on my team anyday.

I agree, Ovechkin has more scoring ability imo, I just hope his career doesn't get stunted by playing with a crappy team like Washington, unless they change things there you know he's bolting at the first opportunity, I would. Crosby has great talent too, but I would rather build a team around Ovechkin, you put that guy on the ice with a good playmaker like Forsberg and he would just destroy teams.

Man, it sounds like being a Leafs fan is really frustrating, seems no matter what the team does its not right, the media really picks on you guys. Montreal isn't a whole lot better, the media there has a history of running players out of town and putting the team under an unfair microscope, but I have more respect for a journalist like Red Fisher than Simmons or Strachan, Fisher has been following the Canadiens closely for decades his opinions are well respected, Simmons is a goof. Hey just be glad we don't live in England, you can't sneeze there without someone finding out, they are brutal there for press. And about what cferneyh said, every team has a couple fringe players or bums, everyone can't be a first line star, but the fact is we dont work for the teams we dont see everything that (lets use T.O as an example) what Quinn the coaching staff, scouts and JFJ sees, maybe the kid needs to work on a part of his game still, maybe he isn't strong enough yet or maybe he has a bad attitude who knows? Lots of players can score goals in minor hockey, its usually something else thats holding them back. As for Cherry he knows his hockey and sometimes is right and sometimes he's talking out his backside, I dont know enough about this Bohonos kid to really comment, but let the team run itself, if Cherry is so smart why didn't he stay in coaching or become a GM himself? Why hasn't a team offered him more money than the CBC to pry him away from his desk...I guess its easier to talk for 10 mins once a week and make $400,000 bucks a year than to deal with the pressures of winning in the NHL, so I don't blame him really.

from what i saw, the olny reason they were talking about Bohonos, was because he broke his neck, and cherry took it upon himself to maybe try and lighten the guys spirits by showing some highlights as he probably wont play again

did i see linden score on a penalty shot??? amazing!!!
that first period was a joke...ten power plays!!!!!
However, I still think he spoke the truth. The refs have been letting the play go a little more the last few games I've watched so maybe the intensity and physical play will eventually come back.....here's to hoping anyway....
