NHL Around the NHL XIV: Marlies zamboni driver leads Whalercanes to a victory in Toronto

[JOKER 192]

How on earth do the Leafs recover from this debacle?

Good news, they don't.

WTF are the Panthers doing ??

I was telling Habs fans earlier tonight , the way Leafs and Panthers are playing, they actually still have a shot at third in the division. Panthers have a really hard schedule to finish the season and the Leafs are losing to zamboni drivers. It's not out of the question at this point.

I woke up today expecting none of that to have actually happened. No way a division rival lost to a team on a back to back that had to use a 42 year old zamboni driver, who works for said rival, for half the game. Not a chance.

Then i take a peak over at the leafs board and, yep, it definitely happened. And my favorite defender of the leafs is right there to give his context/60 to show how actually it’s not bad to lose to a zamboni driver.

Love the post game interviews with Ayres. Hard not to smile seeing him.

 

[RustyBruins72]

On local news they just showed Canes celebration as Ayers enters their locker room post game.
It looked like a Cup celebration.

Wow.....what an incredible historic moment.

It's on the Canes twitter with Brind'Amours speech.

I know people are chirping the Leafs but I think this is absolutely so cool and like Wally said, a historic moment.

This has happened before to the Blackhawks. Scott Foster came in during the 3rd perod against the jets.

This is why I love hockey so much.

Make an Ayers retired banner and just send it around to every team Toronto plays for the rest of the season. Every opponent can hoist it up.

This would be epic trolling

 

[Bruinator]

This all begs the question why in the world weren't the Leafs playing Ayres all season instead of Hutchinson?

 

[Si Hopkins]

Canes will be selling jerseys with his name and he will get a percentage. Money will also go to a kidney foundation of his choosing.

That f***ing rules.

I get the old school irritation about storm surges and whatnot, but the Canes are the organization I most want to get a beer with. I really like the way they handle their business.

I hope a linesman/ref gets absolutely cocked in a fight one of these days for jumping in... so f***ing frustrating

 

[ODAAT]

Good news, they don't.

think there is about 16 minutes left and this clip showing Dubas hitting the exits I believe

Carolina Hurricanes beat Toronto Maple Leafs with emergency backup Dave Ayres - TSN.ca

The linesmen caught one there in cheek.Lots of bad blood between Pittsburgh and Washington.Dillon Malkin love it..

It's funny because I kept saying to hubby how much he reminded me of Timmy, especially with the mask on.

Watching the Penguins-Caps is a scary reminder of how good the Caps can be when they put their minds to it

Fast-tough-talented.......will not be an easy matchup for anyone- Bruins included

I'm old school and not a big celebration guy. I was taught to 'act like you've been there before' since I started playing sports and (good or bad?) have kinda passed this down to my kids whom honestly look bored when they score or win.

But I have to admit. I like that organization. Your 'have a beer with' puts it perfectly.

Agree- anything can happen

I just don't think a first round exit will happen two years in a row

My concern is they win a round, click into gear and go on a run

My hope- their goaltending is their weak point and costs them a series before they get to play Boston

They will need to battle through Metro.They run into Islanders again lookout.Flyers play them tough too

I AM CZECH. So I am contractually obliged to like you guys as well. Pretty much my go-to team in Atlantic.
