Ottawa Senators @ Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto wins 3-0
POST # 100
Sundin?...where did it all go?
Steve says:
ooooooooooooSNAP! what a game! The forwards came back to help the D. The D was almost always in position...only 1 major breakdown (the 3-1) but Toskala...WOW TOSKALA...bailed us out.
And at the end of the game, as if the win wasn't sweet enough, Toskala stonewalls Alfie the Clown. Alfie looked like he might either cry or take a cheapshot at somebody.
And of course when the game was over the Sens, being the sore losers they are (emphasis on loser) take a cheap shot at Sundin and punch him in the back of the head knocking his helmet off...
But we showed great composure all through the game...great patience on the Tlusty goal (nice work for a wannabe porn star). Sundin with the Sonic Boom slapper through the 5-hole.
The win was sweet. Having my brother in law over for the game and throwing it in his Sens loving face was sweet. Walking down the halls of work today with everyone giving me dirty looks in my blue and white was sweet. The change room being quiet at my sons hockey practise the next day as we donned our Leaf practise jerseys was the sweetest of all.
Great job...now..can they do it again?
Chris:
I was watching this game with about a half dozen Leafs fans (and a couple Sens lovers)
What I found really telling was that even when the Leafs were slowly starting to build their lead in the third and despite some really solid play at both ends of the ice, everyone in the room was waiting for the Leafs to tank.
"Oh they're up 3-nil, but the Sens'll come back soon and take it all away"
You'll never find a bunch of people rooting harder for the Leafs to win and more convinced that they won't.
What does that say about our team this year? What does that say about our chances?
