Toronto/Ottawa

Recommended Posts

Merged thread. :)

Should say: I am watching the game (Cablevision IO) but don't have Center Ice. Don't know why, but it's on channel 720.

1-1

Nieuwendyk / Alfredsson (Marchment scored the goal though, :rofl: )

Well, I'm glad someone's happy. I was happy for Nieuwy's goal and through the 1st, but then the Leafs got undisciplined and Ottawa made them pay. Belfour made a really bad decision on that 2nd Hossa goal.

Oh well, just like all the other playoff games so far. :argh:

I saw most of this game and Ottawa played very well. They just irritated the hell out of the Leafs all game goading them into bad penalties. That's the game in a nutshell. Toronto didn't stay out of the box and paid dearly for it. And the Leafs never established themselves because of it at even strength. Once Ottawa got the lead, I never got the feeling Toronto would comeback and tie it. Ottawa just used their speed to play puck possession. When they do that, they're very difficult to beat.

I didn't like that one hooking call on Renberg. He hardly touched him and they called it. Very ticky tac call. That being said, McCabe took a dumb slashing penalty and that was a legit call. Now, that's their top overall defenseman and they could have used him out there on the PK and he loses his head and costs his team the game. I also agreed with Cherry about Leetch on a 3-on-5. You have a "defensive specialist" like Marchment for that and Quinn didn't use him. Not that the goal was Brian's fault. It was a perfect one-timer by Redden.

But in that situation, isn't that what Marchment's there for?

Also, poor game for Johansson. He didn't take Hossa on the winner on either the shot nor rebound. And he made a poor choice to shoot when Varada was right in his face and blocked it leading to Hossa's beautiful goal.

Leafs really need the next one.

Sundin failed to show up.

So, you're labeling me as pathetic for rooting for Toronto? Labeling an entire fanbase.

Is Nieuwy pathetic because she likes the Leafs too and roots for the Devils? How about all our Stars fans?

It just never ends.

but it also goes the other way... some people don't also understand when people are

loyal to the team first... I had THAT fight since last September.. it's a viscious cycle

and when you add in playoff intensity it just triples things....

lord knows I had ENOUGH Joe Nieuwendyk fights last year :rolleyes:

It's okay, Derek.  Some people really don't understand being loyal to a player wherever he goes.

Thanks Nieuwy. Maybe if he lost a Brodeur or Niedermayer to a trade, he'd understand. When one of your favorite players gets pawned off, it hurts. So, I will pull for the Leafs this year. That said, they better get the second game.

Don't bother with him, he isn't worth your time. He loves to start trouble with any fan base on other sites also.

It was not directed at Derek because I never saw him post that. When I listen to the FAN and they are ALL rooting for Toronto because of Leetch it cracks me up.

I take it back then.

They need something to keep their interest.

As far as Jasonmacisaac.......where do you get that I got to other boards and attck their fans?

Never happened.
