Weekend Game Recaps
TOR vs. NYR 03/18/06
Notes - "Coach says shoot, so we shoot. Not from anywhere dangerous, mind you. But it is proof we are not tuning Quinn out." The preceding imaginary quote is courtesy of one disgruntled Leafs fan who attended his one and only Leafs game of the year at MSG. That would be me. First game Stajan hasn't played all year. Truth be told, Lundqvist had a monster game, and the Leafs didn't have a game plan to effectively contain Jagr. Which is kind of sad, considering how other teams key in on McCabe during the man advantage but the Leafs can't respond in kind. Belfour wouldn't have done much better. On the plus and personal side, it was great to see old buddies who made the trip down to NYC.
TOR vs. PIT 03/19/06
Notes - Poni out with the flu. Power outages; two. Kilger is a great asset to this team. Not only is he making peanuts ($475,000 according to TSN, $190,000 less than Belak) he finishes his checks, which is more than I can say for the majority of this team. It is getting so bad in Leafland, and even Penstown, Yahoo doesn't consider writing a recap worthwhile. Even Vancouver Canucks Op-Ed recently expressed a little sympathy for Leaf fans; a watershed event for sure.
In not conceding the season, and to exploit a convenient play on words, I'm wondering if the Leafs are conceited.
