GDT: #22 – Sabres at Maple Leafs – Sat Nov 16 – 7:00PM ET – MSG-B, CBC – WGR-AM

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Don Cherry on coaches corner is talking about Nolan. Says he is gonna turn Buffalo around. Says no way he's interim.

way to quote don and miss the best part

"The first time i met Nolan he was wearing an all black leather suit with a black turtle neck and his hair slicked back chewing juicy fruit and smoking mint cigarettes, i didn't know if i should shake his hand or kiss him, he was beautiful."

@ Don Cherry describing the first time he met Ted Nolan on Coach's Corner. Sounded like the opening in a raunchy steamy novel.

"He was chewing Juicy Fruit Gum..."

Amazing Coaches Corner, hahaha. Don on Teddy was hilarrrrious.

Also we had the Steve Ott highlight package.. "There is he is, Stevie Ott, Good Canadian boy not many on that team.."

I think they should reinstate the fan meetups with the broadcast crew and front office. And instead of having it at a restaurant... but it at a local ring. May, Ray, Nolan... come down and trade punches!

 

[Chainshot]

Don't look now, Stafford with a team-high three hits credited in the first period tonight. For a guy who's thought he was going to be traded basically for two years now, at any moment, it's interesting to see him without the fear/trepidation that any moment is going to be his last in town.

 

[Chainshot]

Leino you dillhole! Stop making plays! I want to hate you!!

There is little doubt in my mind that Ristolainen will be this team's franchise defenseman very soon.

 

[Chainshot]

Ray tasking Scott for not going with McLaren. Granted, it's the Leafs so how many guys would he have to fight at once?

What's very soon?

What's franchise defenseman?

 

[gallagt01]

Clarkson sucks at fighting too.

 

[Deevo]

What's very soon?

What's franchise defenseman?

All situations, reliable, #1 minute man?

 

[Chainshot]

Love Foligno giving Otter the taptap on the way past the bench. Love Otter going. Replay showed the shot that put Clarkson down early, but he came on later.

 

[CrankyJay]

Orr really wants Scott. Lol

 

[gallagt01]

All situations, reliable, #1 minute man?

This.

And in the next couple of years.

 

[Chainshot]

I thought hooking was legal in Toronto...

 

[BUCKSHOT]

who is this Stafford fella and where did he come from ?

 

[CrankyJay]

Stafford trying to do stuff.

 

[Moskau]

I hope our next GM doesn't have an obsession with offensive D men who can't score like our last one.

 

[Chainshot]

who is this Stafford fella and where did he come from ?

I remember him -- good player at UND and (McGuire moment) Shattuck St Mary's... not sure where he's been for the last few years.

he had the puck on his stick trying for the whole PP, usually a passenger on most nights

 

[Myllz]

So how many games does Foligno get for that? Three?

 

[Chainshot]

Foligno is Anti-Christ thread on the Main Board in three... two.... one....

I agree. I didn't even care much about him when he was drafted, but he's an awesome player.
