BUY A COMMITTED INDIAN
Because I am in it.
Also, luckily for you guys, Vesa Toskalol is going to ruin tonight’s game for the Leafs.
The only quibble I have is that you have to mention Ian White which gives the Leafs 2 players.

aw, we're not going to see the Monster?
kind of disappointed, though if he’s what helped the Leafs beat the Wings so badly I probably should be glad it’s Toskala…
I just went and put $3 in my coat pocket, looking forward to the issue…

It’s not a good idea to start drinking the day before the game. Wait, maybe it is……..
This should be an interesting match-up, at least in GDT’s.

Sopel
This needs to be addressed. I went to the game the other night and sat just under the rafters so for the first time ever I did the smart thing and Tivo’d it so I could actually see what happened. I got home and watched the replay and at one whistle they had a close up on Sopel (who had his best game as a Hawk IMO) and he took off his glove to scratch his face and he had a wedding ring on.
Sopel is married.
Whoa. My first thought was, “hey I guess there’s hope for all of us” becuase that’s the type of thing that should warm your heart on your worst day. But then it leads you to the obvious second thought, “whoa, someone said yes to a Sopel proposal, I wonder what that looks like”. And now I’ve been creeped out for the past two days.

"...but the devil lives inside this kid, I swear it. It rises out of him in a mist, this baby-faced defiant wrathful version of Pat Kane, escapes his bodily confines to perform satanic miracles all over the offensive zone. The only thing more fearsome than that assist was the keep-in preceding it. The only thing more unholy than his face is his black magic." GMH

Actually
if you can, ask someone to get real physical with Kane tonight. Kane’s been unbelievably strong on the puck this year and we’re trying to figure out if other teams are just giving him too much space or if he’s an unstoppable force now. Because it’s been so many games now we’re inclined to believe that he’s just that good, but no one has really gotten in his grill yet this season.

True story – You’d think they picked this song because no matter how drunk or dumb you are, you can still sing and bounce around to it. Not so much. At the Habs game I sat next to a guy who was so fucking out of it he couldn’t get the nonsense lyrics right… he was even jumping off beat. I didn’t realize that was possible til I saw this guy do it. He poured about a half pint of rum into his soda during the first period.. he was a mess

Here come the truculence or the pathetic (whichever you prefer)
The opening line of ‘the Sound of Madness’ from Shinedown pretty much sums up the Maple Leafs as they are not a very good hockey team (if you want to call them a hockey team). This should be a game where 2 pts. should be automatic, but then again we’ve seen this story before, haven’t we?
Leafs resemble the Sens when they strolled into the UC stuggling mightly with no chance of victory, or so it seemed, that just threw in their back-up to the wolves. Toskala starting tonight looks a lot like when Gerber started for the Sens last year and almost stole the game, so let’s not get too cocky. But it is about time the Hawks delivered a blowout to the UC faithful.
-Look for Kane to have a big night after idiot-box Wilson asked him if he had spare change this morning all the while laughing at him, may we hope Kane gets the last laugh.
-Sharpie has had some big games agianst the Leafs and after his shootout goal the other night maybe it’s time he broke out of his mini-slump.
-Let Bill Waters be another one that think Huet isn’t a good enough goaltender to lead the Hawks to the promised land which is O.K. as he is intitled to his opinion. But to say that he isn’t as good as Toskala is pretty fucking low and retarded.

The Leafs were the better team in the 3rd period and should’ve tied it late if not for Huet.
Good win as the Hawks are 9-2 at the UC this season and are 11-5-2 and first in the Central.
Should be a REAL test Sunday night against San Jose. The Hawks are going to have to be better than they were tonight.

Really? You sure about that? The Leafs played their game for about 22 minutes and you barely squeaked out a win against the worst goalie in the NHL. A goal call our way, one good deflection and/or lucky shot and we walk with the win.
I have no problems with saying you have a phenomenal amount of talent, but if you think that automatically adds up to one of the best teams in the league, you’re mistaken.
Plus, you have serious goaltending questions.
Despite all that, congrats on the win.

But, but look at New Jersey when they had Brodeur, eventhough every team that has won the Stanley Cup since 2003 hasn’t has a dominant goaltender. Khabibulin really? Ward, he looks great oh every 4 years it seems. What about Giguere? Well maybe. Osgood and Fleury are not by any estimation great goaltenders and are basically equal to Huet. But never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Guess you picked Vancouver and Calgary to beat us last year based on Kiprusoff and Luongo. Good call.
By the way if it wasn’t for the worst goalie in the NHL saving your ass in the 1st it might have been a massive blowout. But hey, why stop ragging on a guy even when he is the only reason you had a chance right?
I have no problems with saying you have a phenomenal amount of talent, but if you think that automatically adds up to one of the best teams in the league, you’re mistaken.
Good teams usually have talent. You’ll see once the Leafs ever get there.

Wow. Saving our ass? I repeat, he’s the worst goalie in the league, and the (rightfully so) vaunted Chicago offence barely pulled one out. Who saved who’s ass? A few bounces the other way from a decidedly offensively inferior team and it’s a whole different hockey game.
If you don’t think having top-flight goal-tending is critical to playoff success, well, enjoy the ride. What happened to Detroit last year? A better goaltender would have been the difference for a Cup, which was exactly my point. On all those Cup-winning teams with maybe one exception, there was absolute stellar goal-tending involved.
Ah, the Hawks are competitive once again after 30 years or so, and the fans immediately try the busted myth that Toronto hasn’t been so since forever, when they are definitively the most competitive Canadian team of the last 16 years. Or do you want to argue the Hawks competitiveness in the same time period? Most importantly, Toronto never, ever tanked a season, let alone a succession of them, and despite an absolute dearth of high first round picks, we’ve played some really great hockey over those years.
With the cap what it is, AND your specific cap problems, (let alone fax machine problems) your window is already beginning to close- you are not going to be able to keep what you have, and your years of high picks are already over. All teams have a 1-in-30 chance at the start of the season, and you only have to look at L.A., Ottawa, Atlanta and Tampa to see that talent is just the beginning.
By all means, good luck. I’ve always liked the Hawks franchise and the hard-core fans- they’ve paid their dues over the years like we have. But don’t ever try to talk to Leaf fans about talent or a lack of it when for long stretches of time your team was an abomination of a storied original 6 franchise, with fans staying away in droves.
And no, I didn’t pick either you, the Canucks or Calgary to go near the Cup, because all three were missing parts critical to winning one.
Like I said, sincere congrats on the win, and I’m happy that hockey is back in it’s rightful place in Chicago again. At least we know in Toronto that our team has unresolved issues and we don’t try to hide them.

You’re completely right. I concede because you’ve gone to wikipedia for about 5 minutes to make your argument.
Your kidding, right? Seriously.
Cam Ward was pretty much lights out the moment he stole the job from Gerber.
Giguere was absolutely phenomenal for Anaheim with all their penalties.
Fleury was highly instrumental at the least for Pittsburgh last year, and his out-playing Osgood could be argued as the point the series turned on last year.
But, hey, wikipedia is the go-to source for all things hockey, so I guess you’re right……………

To use something you could understand, I’ve been around this site to see enough examples of goalies being hot at the right time, and I admit I adopt some of the views around here because they know better than I do, I don’t pretend to know the most about hockey, but ask sam, thor, or hawks61, and for the most part I would think they would agree with me, it’s when a goalie goes hot and when a team goes hot that matters the most, look what happened to Luongo last year, talk shit about me if you want, I just wish I could be as eloquent as a few of the other people around here, but it seems that you are just upset that the leafs are going through a shit period like the one the hawks had to endure.

Facts are facts, regardless of source...
…aren’t they? None of the guys peper cited would have been considered a top-5 goaltender in the year he won the Cup.
The Hawks have a way to go, of course, but as young as they are and with Hossa joining the attack, they have as good a shot as anyone this year if Huey is good.
On the larger question of relative patheticness of the franchises, well this has all the earmarks of a pre-2005 Cubs/Sox argument- inane and fruitless.

As a Blackhawks fan for many years
I understand what you’re doing. But trying to find hope in spurious arguments that your crappy team could have beaten an obviously superior side if “a few bounces the other way” had gone in won’t change the fact that your team now sits at 3-9-5.
There really is a huge difference between the top and the bottom, where the Leafs remain.

Last comment.
Actually, you have no absolutely no idea “what I’m doing”, just as you have no idea what you’re talking about.
What does all your superiority about the Hawks rest on? A single year in the playoffs? Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how abysmally bad the Hawks have been in the modern era, seeing as you’ve been a fan for so long?
And since you aren’t reading anything, I’ve been trying to compliment you on your team’s strengths while also arguing that they may not be as flawless as you think they are.
You’re absolutely right, there is a huge difference b/t the top and the bottom, San Jose and the Caps being at the top, the Hawks being tied for fourth overall with three other teams and the Leafs in second last. There is also a huge difference b/t the fans of the Hawks that I can respect and those that think the hockey universe started with the opening of the playoffs last year. In a one-goal game on home ice with a goal against the losing team called back, and the winners playing against the worst-rated goalie in the league, absolute statements like “obviously superior” and “crappy” aren’t exactly accurate, are they?, despite my acknowledging that the Hawks are obviously a more talented team on paper.
Do you even know what spurious means?
The difference between the Leafs and the Hawks is that we’re playing terrible but nowhere near our upper capacity, and the Hawks are playing really well and are very, very close to their ceiling of performance.

Tanking?
For your information the year (2007) the Hawks drafted Kane 1st overall they actually finish 5th last, not dead last (ever heard of the lottery system?) and if it wasn’t for Havlat going down to a high ankle sprain due to awful ice conditions in Dallas coincided with Handzus tearing his ACL the next night against St. Louis the Hawks would’ve had a different season altogether. They didn’t tank, they just got killed with the injury bug that season.
In any event, if getting 30 win and 71 points (even with all those injuries) is considered tanking then the Leafs are more than on their way to tanking this season.
Stay classy Toronto.

But, better keep Kane away from Schenn, otherwise, I won’t be responsible for what happens next.

I would like to point out how lazy and useless Kane is, I mean, he was way to lazy to even bother to try and find a teammate to pass to after the stripped the puck in the first, the lazy bastard just decided to shoot it himself rather than to try and find a teammate to share the puck with, I mean, come on, what sort of teammate would just shoot it to get an unassisted goal instead of letting teammates get a point.
