Pre-Game Talk: Game 23: Nov 23-CBC-Caps@Leafs-7PM- “Everyone is saying Grabo this & Grabo that..."

[Asif16*]

Seriously though. Stay out of the box.

Phanoof will neutralize ovechkin hopefully.

Washington has no secondary scoring, so we should win.

HARD!

 

[The Winter Soldier]

This me, me, I, I, excuses filled rant against our Coach should be played before the game.

Should fire up the boys. Can't wait to the game.

 

[TMLife*]

Ovi is gonna light Reimer up with the one timer.
Grabo will be flying around as usual, but will get blanked.
Kessel will continue to play under 16 minutes.
Rielly gets his first.
Leafs win 4-3 in SO.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

That would work only if players on Leafs hockey club hated Grabovski as much as Interactiff does.

 

[Judas Tavares]

+1 for Simpsons ref
+1 for Liam Gallagher avatar (during Champagne Supernova iirc)

Total of +2, well done.

In other news: surely Riemer's in net for this one?

Great eye. That was one of the best live versions of CS. And that part where he looks up then just gives the up yours is classic Liam, just love it.

And ya I'd expect Reimer.

 

[McGuiresMonsters]

That would work only if players on Leafs hockey club hated Grabovski as much as Interactiff does.

Ya I was thinking the same thing. It would make me think less of my coach and confirm he personally disliked Grabo.

Better yet, why do so many posters here, Leafs fans I suppose love such a mediocre player. Really my post was in fun, you guys could use a laugh with all the pumping his fans do for him here. Fact is I don't even post about him much anymore. It's others that won't let go. He's a Cap now, he is playing the brand of hockey he loves. Be happy with it.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Hihiii.... "Caps are 3-0 since Grabo demoted to 3rd line." Yeap, you really let him go.

 

[Leafidelity]

The only thing I expect for sure is more bitter quotes from Grabo. Really been disappointed in him not taking high road.

 

[moonbal]

It'd be funny if Grabo chirps Randy.

 

[frankthetank91]

One good advantage is Caps are playing the Scabs tonight. Hopefully that useless team can at least tire the Caps out a bit for Saturday but knowing them they'll have them warmed up.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Back to game discussion...

As person above mentioned, Caps are playing 2nd of back-to-back against. No excuse to lose. And please stay out of the box, because Caps will make us pay more than Preds did.

 

[The Podium]

3 games in 4 nights with travel for Washington... If the Leafs dont come out flying ill be disappointed

 

[ACC1224]

Bozak is scheduled to return for this one?

 

[Daisy Jane]

Bozak is scheduled to return for this one?

I'm going to assume it depends on how he feels at the Game Day Skate, but yeah.
if I were Randy, I'd put him on the third line - ease him into duty.

Smith is probably the odd man out (I'd do Smithson - faceoff beast and all withstanding, Smith has been clicking lately).

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Please win. 3rd game in 4 nights for the caps. Stay out of the box, and hopefully Reimer has a strong game

 

[rojac]

It has nothing to do with karma. It is just the leaf genetic.

Any former leaf that comes to town lights it up and gets a point somehow
i.e-macarthur, ponikarovsky.

next on the list will be grabovski.

He always got smashed like a pinball so i hope at least the leafs take some runs at him and don't let past relationships get in the way.

Why do people get hung up on this whole ex-Leaf nonsense? He's gone. Move on. He's now no different than any of the 19 other people on the opposing team.

 

[Peasy]

So does anyone think Kessel is nursing an injury?

 

[mikebel111*]

no practice for leafs. there was little energy last night.

plus why would we lose players due to RC style? grabo didn't fit it and didn't do himself any favors with his play. plus mcarthur just is a sore loser IMO

gardiner aside from last game is playing well

 

[Kingstonian84*]

So does anyone think Kessel is nursing an injury?

Yes he is suffering from Kessel-litis which is when a person is not HARD

 

[Cor]

So does anyone think Kessel is nursing an injury?

It's pretty obvious

 

[McGuiresMonsters]

So does anyone think Kessel is nursing an injury?

He's probably been playing too much CoD: Ghosts with Bozak

 

[Diatomic]

Grabo vs Bozak scrap would be a dream come true.

 

[Eb]

Grabo vs Bozak scrap would be a dream come true.

Nah, would rather just beat 'em on the scoreboard.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

honestly...i love grabo and all but I dont give a crap.

Just want a win and I think we can, no...correction I know we can win. The question is will we win?

Dion has shut up a lot of haters with his stellar defense like kessel did last year with his playoffs and offensive game. Has a big test against Ovie, is freaking loves playing against the leafs and score a ton. So let's hope it happens.
