Pre-Game Talk: Toronto Maple Leafs v Vancouver Canucks - Sat Feb 8th

[Warden of the North]

Put it this way... the Nucks outshot the Habs badly yesterday... Nucks lost 5-2... if the Habs had better luck it would be more like 8 or 9 - 2.

I mean Pacioretty missed two penalty shots in one period and still had a hat-trick...

But.....we're the Leafs. Never underestimate our ability to lose in the most spectacular method imaginable.

Hmmm, wait for it.....

My crystal ball says I told you so.....

Your avatar name says it all...cup 67.

ya cup 67 c=3 u=18 p=16 add them up =37. 67 6+7 =13

3+7+1+3=14 14 is our year 2014

Anyone who watched the effort put forth on Mats Sundin night at the ACC will never underestimate the Leafs ability to bum everybody out

 

[Erdinger]

Last weekend against Ottawa turned out great. I suppose that was a no effort game in your mind?

Don't take everything so serious. If you had read the thread you would see we were just joking around with a decent Canucks poster.

 

[BayStBullies]

On the day we witnessed the opening of the Olympics and the unification of a nation towards backing our athletes. Let's for a day put aside our need to attempt to counter the illogical hatred that Vancouver residents feel towards this city and instead hope for the success of all Canadian teams. When we have all failed for so many years; maybe it's time to change our focus of meaningless "hatred" towards our own.

Good luck Vancouver; suck just a little more than we will!

 

[Ratboy]

That said, this is the perfect game for Vancouver to turn it around, but I really hope they don't. I hope they nose dive so far they're out of the playoff picture.

Dead.

If the Leafs who played the Panthers show up tomorrow Canucks will end their 6 game streak.

If the Leafs who played the Lightning show up the Canucks will be on a 7 game losing streak.

That's the only way to predict this game. Leafs are a real enigma lately.

 

[Ratboy]

The Leafs are a skating team. We have to skate to be effective and for some reason it's hard for them to get going. If we could figure out how to start our flow earlier on we'd be even more successful.

There must be an answer to this issue.

100% correct. The Leafs control their destiny and it's up to them if they step up or back down, they are more than capable of beating the Canucks 10-0 if they all decided that is what they wanted to do.

I wonder if Carlyle just flat out said "yeah, we're a rush team the end." if the Leafs would be even be more awesome

cup67 - I hear you buddy!

I feel we're winning tomorrow - I don't want the game to be a blowout - I want the Leafs to start showing the eastern conference, we can also win close games [which we did in Tampa, against Tampa, and Ottawa. we can stay close - and then BOOM!]

 

[The Reaper]

I think we all why the Leafs come out lazy in the games

They haven't been drinking enough Red Bull

Cause we all know Red Bull gives you wings

No I want it to be a blowout. The Canucks have never shown any mercy in the last 10 years. The close wins can wait till after the break.

To be fair, you think we're going to win every game.

Were a much better team now.

Kessel, Jvr, Lupul, Kadri>Sedins, Kesler, Kassian

I keep asking Daisy for some magical positive brownies but she never gives em up!

if we had bolland for the games he missed we would be 10 points better, that would put us ahead of boston behind pitts in 2nd

 

[Clark4Ever]

Kick them when they're down. Lou will show up against us though so it won't be easy.

I want this to be a major blowout too. Just so that Mike Gillis can boil out his smugness for 17 days. Most likely will be another nail biter and whoever is calling the game on the CBC can point out the discrepancy in shots on goal every 45 seconds.

Why not? I'd love to see them thrash the Canucks 8-0 or something.

The teams are built much differently. The Leafs are all offense, the Canucks are all D.

Tanev,Bieksa,Hamhuis,Edler,Diaz,Garrison>>>>>Gardiner,Phaneuf,Franson,Rielly,Gleason,Gunnar

We have to win this game, Canucks fans hate us with a passion - don't want to give them a reason to smile.

I agree, **** them!

 

[Cor]

Let's beat them and then trade for Bieksa

 

[garce]

Seconded, but Bieksa even with his flaws would be a great addition, go for it time!
