Post-Game Talk: Written in the Stars, a million miles away: Leafs win 4-0. Bernier played okay.

[Hyperglide]

What is up with Stars fans? They are trying to act like we are long time rivals. They know they have literally no defense right? Yet they firmly believe they are better than us. Cute. Was an easy win from a weak team.

At least we aren't Winnesnowta Northstar fans.

I'm 34 and I rarely watched Seinfeld but I knew about that Festivus thing. It's still a reference from other things but Seinfeld promoted it to pop culture again.

Festivus was invented for Seinfeld and it has become a pop culture thing. Any other thing you know it from is playing off of Seinfeld.

Why?

It's the only way I ever watch, don't like commercials or intermissions.

Have to agree here.

Plus, as others have mentioned, the first few minutes of a game giveyou a general sense of whether it's worth the time to watch or not.

I agree. I've been able to watch an entire football game in 15 minutes.

The Leafs-Red Wings April 23,1993 game 3 is showing on Leafs tv now late first period. Leafs up two nil.
Andreychuck 2 goals. Felix Potvin looking good.

Brilliant goaltending by Bernier to earn the shutout and lead the Leafs ending their 3 games losing streak....Go Leafs Go!

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Commentator nailed it tonight:

Bernier for Frattin and Scrivens

lol

and we got frattin back and scrivens is gone from LA lol

I think there was a 2nd round pick as well.

And yet we are going to hit gold trading Reimer? I think a 2nd/3rd for him would be a good (optimistic) return for him.

I started doing this last year and it's a great way to get the most out of your time. If the game is going well, skim through the commercials and watch the game, if the Leafs suck, fast-forward to goals. If intermission looks interesting, watch it, otherwise blast forward through the 15 minutes. Awesome way to watch a game tbh. Only spoiler, if a friend calls and tells you how theyre doing or worse, reveal the score.

That sounds like the absolute worst way to watch a game. Sports should never be w
PVR'd

A DVR is useful. You can watch a recorded game when you actually have the time to watch. Plus, you can blow by the commercials.

So Dallas wasn`t supposed take shots at the Leafs net? This is hockey folks, teams take shots and the team that score the most goals win, plain and simple!

What part of winning 4-0 is lucky? Seguin hit tree goal posts, sure, but a missed shot is a missed shot. Getting an outstanding performance from a goaltender does not constitute luck. And against a team that defends and turns the puck over the way DAL does, these results are DEFINITELY repeatable. No wonder the Leafs swept this team this season.

"Seguin must love playing is"

He never does **** against us, so probably not,.

His 1st 2 years in the league all he did was score/put up points against us so I guess that's where that comes from. Glad those days are gone though...the "Thank you Kessel" chants from Bruins fans were excruciating.

I may be incorrect, but I am pretty sure I saw that he has just 3 assists against us

He had 9 goals, 6 assists in 16 games against us with the Bruins.

Has 0 goals, 2 assists in 4 games against us with the Stars.

edit: You really don't remember him constantly lighting the lamp against us and the Thank you Kessel chants? You must have repressed those memories

Lets not forget the 0 goals, 0 assists in 7 playoff games vs the Leafs, which ultimately contributed to him getting traded.

 

[Pyrophorus]

After the Leafs got past their 0-6 season against them.

As they cooled off against us, so did he.
I believe 6 of those 9g, came in 2 games.

I guess I did.

I dunno. I guess it was a different player.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

In the past 11 GP vs Toronto he has 3 A and something like a -6. To be fair, much of that is in playoffs and he has a fair history of not showing up when it matters.

Okay. This is what I heard then.
