Just wanna say that the recent post by Mr.Bone on the Leafs/Rangers game was the best I have seen yet. I think this because I totally agreed with everything he said about Andrew Raycroft, the announcers, Woz, and Antropov. I think Antropov is finally turning into a fantastic player we all knew he had the potential to be, but never produced so everyone has hated him until this year.
Last month, at the end of November, the Leafs conquered a win over the Trashers, and I was saying how they would turn it around in December. Well, at first they really did turn it around and had their A game on and managed to come out with several wins with the help of Vesku's great goaltending.
Going in to 2008, the Leafs better step up their game if they hope to make the playoffs this year. It is coming up on mid season and the Leafs sit in a familiar last place in the division, and are 3rd last in the East, only 3 points ahead of 15th place.
It would be nice to see Toskala return to action as soon as possible, as Raycroft has once again proved he can not lead this team to even one win. Toskala has missed three games, and in those three games Raycroft let in four goals in each of the first two games, and in the third game he played just over 30 minutes, allowing 5 goals on 29 shots. To further rip into "Rayzor"*, over 11 starts in 13 total game appearances, he boasts a goals against average of 3.85 and a save percentage of .876. Ouuchh.
* - Speaking of razors, Raycoft, how about you shave that disgusting, greasy, pedophile moustache before Hulk Hogan becomes disgraced that he has hair on his upper lip, shaves it, and in turn looks like a darker, older version of his daughter Brooke.
Maurice has shaken up the lines BIG TIME for the next game, and the Leafs look like a new team (on paper). It is unclear whether Raycroft or Clemmensen will get the nod, but Toskala should be in on Saturday for sure. This is what the new line combinations look like.
Blake - Sundin - Steen
Ponikarovsky - Antropov - Devereaux
Tucker - Stajan - Bell
Kilger - Tucker - Belak
Kubina - Kaberle
Gill - White
Colaiacovo - Wozniewski
Anton Stralman was sick and did not make practice. Thank you TSN Ice Chips ;).
Try to stay happy for now Leafs Nation. MLSE wont let you down, even if it means making the playoffs in 8th place with a team full of Doug Weights, Curtis Josephs, and Keith Tkachuks. You know they wont settle for a good draft pick come July 1st.
Upcoming Game:
Tampa Bay @ Toronto. Tuesday, January 1st, 2008. 7:30 on TSN.
Good news for the Blue & White, Tampa Bay is in last place in the Eastern Conference and has a league worst road record at 3-13-1. They are also 2-8-0 in their last 10 games, and their 130 goals against is worst in the East.
A little brotherly bonding:
Right now I am visiting Mr. Bone for a few days. So it is cool being able to share thoughts on the Leafs games, and then afterwards post them.

I meant to type 'Thrashers' instead of 'Trashers'.
Mr. Bone was wondering if it was an error or on purpose. It is actually a typo, but I have decided to leave it because it flows perfectly and it fits.
I heard Dan has a bent dink.
Just sayin'
haha, that's hilarious, because i was going to comment on that typo, too, then figured it was on purpose and i'd look like a moron (insert URL link to a pic of Mr Bone).
another last minute goal (maybe i should save this for today's post)...any stats/box score scouring to see what the GAA is in (the last 2 mins of) the third?
fuck, i leave my blogger thing open on Mr Bone's computer, and he goes and says to the world that I have a bent dink.
He just likes to say that everyone has a bent dink because he is uncomfortable with his own bent-dink-ness and doesn't want anyone to know about it. It's kind of like a bully in an elementary school playground, uncomfortable his daddy is a drunk and left him, so he makes fun of other people. That might explain why Mr.Bone is so mean to me, hmm.
