Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Avs | Tuesday, January 21st 7pm MT | Scouting our future players

[S E P H]

Why is everyone getting so obsessed by other fanbases?

There are a ton of stupid Maple Leaf fans out on this board, but there are a whole bunch of great ones as well. Like every Canadian team (besides the Oilers who normally has stupid ones), you'll get great fans and bad ones considering how big the fanbase is.


Delete this if you want Bubba. V

You took it out of context, the OP was just mocking all the avs fans that get bad mouthing the leafs.

Too be honest, all Leaf fans *sort of* deserve it a bit considering how much we have to put up with the countless O'Reilly and Stastny threads throughout everywhere. And then don't forget the Duchene vs Kessel, Gardiner vs Avs defensive core, Stastny is only worth Gunnarsson, Bozak on Avs, and all the other historic threads I am forgetting to mention.

I'd suggest we just ignore anything that Leaf's fans say in an attempt to illicit a response or bash our team/fanbase. We already have enough of that in the groundhog day-esque trade proposals. It would be nice if we win this game and for them not to have anything to moan about comment wise in our GDT. Just a suggestion.

Is HF glitching or is it just me? or is a mod just deleting a ton of posts in this thread? or am I drunk?

I am deleting posts -- this isn't a babe thread, nor is it a place to troll/flame a fanbase.

Soooo....... Starting lineups?

ROR Dutchy McGinn
Landy Staz Mac
McLeod Mitchell Talbot
PAP Cliche Bordy

Hejda EJ
Holden Benoit
Wilson Barrie

As much as I want to see PAP work his way back into the lineup on his own merit (putting forth a real effort) I would like to see him and McLeod switch places. I almost worry that PAP will be injured again if he is matched against Toronto's fourth line.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Roy said he'd be very surprised if Mitchell didn't play. He also said EJ should play too. They just wanted to give those guys the afternoon off. EJ wanted to come to practice but they left him home.

Meh, no different than when we were shuffling guys on and off that line when we played with 11 forwards. Just don't put PAP on the PK and he'll be fine. Besides, Bords will protect him...

 

[Freudian]

I'd rather switch Parenteau and McLeod. McLeod has done nothing to deserve a spot on the third line. I would be fine with Parenteau having to earn his spot on the PP instead of McGinn, if you want to ease him in.

EJ is a warrior. This season in particular he hasn't let anything hold him down. He probably needed a few games with the back injury and I think Roy really wanted him to sit out that one game earlier in the year after getting the shot off his foot in practice. Hopefully he'll be ok but I'm sure he'll tough it out because that's what he does.

Toronto played their 4th line 2 minutes last night. So will be interesting to see what they do with PA on our fourth.

Now you've gone too far! Too far I say!

2 minutes? Seriously? I would be demanding a trade. Even as a fourth liner that's just uncool. "Yeah, I'm in the bigs, logging a whopping 2 mins a night"

 

[TMLer]

EDIT:...... I like you guys

 

[AvsfanJack]

So if Bordy doesnt grow a pair of nuts today and go with Orr, I say we bench him since Tangs will be back.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Just remember guys, Gardiner is the fastest.

[AvsfanJack]

It seems theirs more Leaf fans on this thread then there are Avs fans. Am I on the wrong board?

WE LIKE YOU GUYS! GOD!, Sorry for showing a little affection

 

[Landeslog]

Leafs have more fans ergo more people care about and will watch the Leafs more than the Avs. It is the same with the Habs, Bruins, Flyers, Hawks...

I realize that. That's why it's important to play well against them. We are having a damn good season and no one is talking about it since our hot start.

WE LIKE YOU GUYS! GOD!, Sorry for showing a little affection

Until we win, then you'll be tearing us up
