How about the post-game show with MacLean and Cherry....apologetics out the wazoo.
ANYTHING but objective. Pathetic.

Someone on HF just posted that Leaf fans are verbally attacking Reimers wife on twitter... If true that is disgusting and classless.
Reimer will leave and become a starter elsewhere... much like Bishop has done in Tampa imo. I have had fun at Sens fans expense over that one.

Lmao. Its the linesman fault for being in the way for the too many penalty. Grapes is such a sore loser And I was thinking the opposite, that the Leafs benefited from having the puck hit an official a couple of times. Did he really say that? What a Maroon.

didn't read the GDT but saw the last couple [ouch] and the three stars. Bourque #1? guess that means he'll be ont he #1 the next coupla games. He still gave the puck away more often than he made a good play. He's an acceptable player if all he does is get into position and shoot the puck. Nothing else. He can't control it, can't pass it, can't see a play develop. What did he do to get an assist, have the puck bounce off his butt? Oh wait, that was the Gionta snooker shot, wasn't it? Yes, well earned indeed. But, undoubtedly he'll be ready to go next game and ready to keep Bournival to the sidelines. Thanks Therrien.

People are pretty brave when cloaked in the anonymity of cyberspace.
In pre-social media times, the same number of people likely had negative things to say. There was just no outlet for them, other than co-workers.
Nowadays, that opinion gets out there instantly....and, while it can have positive effects on society...it also demonstrates the nasty side of our species. Insulting, bullying....in a cowardly manner, no less.

Yes. Taking a faceoff. Was unclear what the injury is. He really went spread eagle so it could be a groin. Maybe it was just me, but I thought he got slashed near the ankle by the other centre on the draw. I don't think it was intentional, though with Bolland, who knows? Pretty sure it was Bollande. He wasn't that spread-eagled, so I didn't think it was a groin problem.

It would be so appropriate and might be the only way to shut up those self centred twits. I would have loved to have breakfast with them last year after they folded against Boston. I couldn't have kept the smile off my face.

Just saw the Habs management booth when Pleky scored, I loved Waite's reaction... looked like he was shocked that Pleky scored with that shot.

My thoughts before that goal was that Pleks had played a poor game. He wasn't creative in the least and there were a couple of times where he turned the puck over in the offensive zone for no particular reason. He just wasn't dangerous. Did anyone notice anything else he did? I'm in an especially critical mood today after Therrien ticked me off with his line-up. Some dorks never change.

Did anyone notice anything else he did? I'm in an especially critical mood today after Therrien ticked me off with his line-up. Some dorks never change. i actually thought pleks was one of our better players. Like that line. He is our best defensive centre. thought DD played well too. Can't believe MT scratched Tinordi. It is so predictable and so stupid! So he messed up last game - I get that. So did every other player; just didn't result in a goal. If i'm not mistaken Booboo allowed a breakaway the opening shift against Columbus and Price made a great save. So why is booboo getting so much TOI. But to put Murray in for Tinordi is just dumb. We were in trouble in our end every time Murray was out there. And does MT really think this helps tinordi's confidence. MT is such a moron. I'm good with bourque in the line up if he plays like he did. He hustled and was engaged. He still has no IQ but that will never change. but with his speed he can be effective if he's prepared to get dirty.

Don't think they mentioned all the non-calls on the Leafs all game. Couldn't believe not one penalty in the first two periods. There was interference, cross checking, slashing, and all the other crap Phanuef gets away with. The penalty on Pleks was a joke after all the crap the leafs got away with. The too many men on the leafs was about as obvious as could be, giving the refs no choice. Even carlyle couldn't argue.

Vanek changes everything. He just gives the team another dimension we haven't had in a while. Not saying it has to be him next season but we need a player with his sixth sense on offence. Would love a little more effort defensively but in the offensive zone he reads things so well.

I thinks it time to have a magic number thread. I would if i could but I dun know how.
We're looking good right now - always do after a win. After a loss I'm convinced we're toast. Caps won tonight so they had a decent west coast trip. i think we'll be OK if we win 4 of the last 10, particularly if one of those wins is against Detroit.

I think, if MB is not successful in signing Vanek in the off-season, he should trade Vaneks' negotiating right to Minnesota for Moulsons'. If Minnesota doesn't sign Moulson instead.

So was it entertaining to watch? Weak plays left right and center. It's one of those games where you take the two points and run. I wasn't entertained all that much. Just as soon as we went up 2-0 I thought, "there's still a lot of hockey left to play". Having said that, I thought the Leafs were the better team last night. What helps me, though, is being able to tune out the Toronto-centric commentary. I find I have little-to-no tolerance for very few of the CBC crew outside of Garry Galley and Bob Cole. Yes, Galley and Cole. I used to turn the channel to RDS every time I heard Bob Cole's voice, but I don't any longer. They're a good team and I can hear Galley actually trying be be unbiased. I have a renewed appreciation for them. Honourable mention ... Elliot Friedman. Will be interesting to see how Rogers/Sportsnet handles this. They're Toronto-based as well, and they have a separate channel for each of the Canadian teams, except Montreal (could be TSN/RDS wouldn't allow it, but I honestly don't know the deal here). Need to be better than we were last night for the final games of the season. I can see now just how much Prust means to the team. He's a perfect compliment for Dale Weise, who I found was extremely strong on the puck last night. Add Ryan White to the mix and we have a bonafide in-you-face line that other teams respect. Cheers.

When the shots are even the leaves have obviously outplayed their opponent . When they are outshot by 15+(like all year), then its even. Got to know where they are coming from. Its all they know. I do think the leaves had a slight edge in play. Not much though, not enough to be ripping on Reimer like they are.

:DWhy did the Leafs lose this game? I suppose it was because the corrupt refs, in addition to favoring the Habs on the ice, slipped into the Leafs' locker room before the game and bribed the equipment man to sew a 2-kg lead weight into Reimer's catching glove and dissolve a sedative into Phaneuf's water bottle. Otherwise. it would have been impossible for the lowly Habs to win at the ACC against the best hockey team in North Amerioa.

I do think the leaves had a slight edge in play. Not much though, not enough to be ripping on Reimer like they are. I think Carlyle's public assessment of Reimer did more more damage to his goaltender more than anything else. Pucks are going through this guy more than they were before "Reimer Gate" started dominating hockey news (I heard the term somewhere on TV). If they happen to miss the playoffs then there will be a lot of fingers pointed at Reimer. Fair/unfair is a matter of opinion. However, I'd like to see how many fingers will be pointed at Carlyle. Reimer's confidence wasn't the best prior to the media making his coach's comments into a low-quality drama. I think the Leafs will make the playoffs. However, I suspect Carlyle will have a lot of explaining to do when his team's finally season ends. Maybe less so if he takes them deep. I'd like to see our club revisit Therrien's contract if we bow out in the first round. We're a much better club than we've shown. Cheers.

While there's a faction of HF Leafs fans solely blaming Reimer, there are an enlightened percentage who recognize that they're a terrible team defensively and are only where they are because of Bernier's play. They would have no trouble with Carlyle and Phaneuf being shown the same door as Reimer.

Would any other d man play 25 minutes with the turnovers and brutal ones like Boo Boo does unbelievable. Habs played typical counter style game frustrating especially when they laid down on the late pp. Anyways fortunate to get the points but have no faith they can flick the switch should they get in especially with the personnel decisions.

We were in trouble in our end every time Murray was out there. And does MT really think this helps tinordi's confidence. MT is such a moron. Amen to that. Every time I start to feel good about this team I take a look behind the bench and get depressed. Tinordi, I thought, was getting better every game, he was reacting better, the game seemed to be slowing down for him. Then he makes that mistake against Columbus (that was really Eller's fault!!) and he gets benched in favor of Doug Freaking Murray. My worst Corsi nightmare. Bergevin needs to have the stones to walk into MT's office and tell him to cut it with that nonsense.

Regarding Reimer, he should have had Bourque's but it was a hard shot off the rush. Gionta's was tipped, through a screen, by his own defender. He was there to get Plekanec's goal, but it went between the arm and his body. CBC thought he was perhaps playing the pass and got surprised by the shot. It was certainly an awkward attempt to stop it. Reimer, in his interview after the game, said his pad stuck to the ice as he was sliding across

I don't remember what the commentary was when JVR flattened Price, but TSN is reporting that Markov "clearly" pushed JVR into Price. That "controversial" penalty led to Plekanec's winner two minutes later. I saw the play only once. What's the opinion out there? Cheers. It was somewhat debatable, however, after Plekanek's one handed hook called earlier, the zebras owed the Habs a borderline call. I frankly don't give a damn about what the Toronto Sports Network says.

If rumours are to be believed, it's practically a slam dunk that Vanek will sign with the Wild. So why would Minny give up any assets if all they have to do is wait until July 1, and break out the checkbook?
