Our first win tomorrow in Ottawa be it an exhibition tilt, the cup is ours. ;D ;D ;D
-
Two more goals by Brock Boeser tonight.
-
Leafs I believe will win one & lose one on average for 17/18 season.
Break even in blackjack but will miss the playoffs. It will take more than 40 or so wins to make the playoffs. TO coach just looks like his message is getting old & it will fall on deaf ears. Leafs players will tune him out. ( players fault not the coach. )
Vancouver should get near 50-55 wins thus making the playoffs,mainly because the coach will know how to light a fire under players butts.
Let's check at the end of the season & see how my predictions & forecasts pan out.
Give me another glass of red wine please.
-
Chris should stick to something he knows something about - badminton ;D ;D The abuse continues.........
-
Two more goals by Brock Boeser tonight.
You forgot to mention the score of course it was embarrassing as your boys lost 9 - 4. :P Time to leave the sinking ship, I will put in a good word for you as my assistant adviser. Would include some nice trips East too. ;D ;D
A - Boater will be drinking a lot of wine to drown his sorrow this year. ???
-
Chris; your counter punching is very good. Ouch.
Only time will tell who's team will be better.
In this corner the Toronto Maple Leafs & in the other opposite corner FA & Al's & the millions of fans " THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS ! "
Red wine drinking will only take place after Canucks wins. Better stock up my supply.
Lots of victories ahead.
Canucks will get serious when the season starts.

Brock Boeser 5 points in 2 games. Not Fake news ;D

Trailing 4-1 in the 2nd period. Same old Laughs. No goaltending ;D Leaf advisor on the phone looking for help

Now 6-1. Chris must be drinking A-BOATER'S red wine. :)

Chris is very quiet this evening after his team's pathetic effort. Heavily into A-BOATER'S wine I think. ;D

An idea came to me.
Whenever the Vancouver Canucks win I will have a glass of my favourite red wine & now for the new idea. ( drum roll please ) whenever the Leafs lose, it will signal me to also have a glass of red wine ;D
With all the projected Canuck wins & Leaf losses my wine inventory has to be doubled.
Leafs loss to Ottawa was scary.
Leafs did have good puck possession when they had a 2 man advantage.
But they just passed it around to each other & barely decided to shoot the puck ????
Ottawa did not have to kill the penalties as the Maple Leafs did it for them.
When a team has a two man advantage they have to put on the pressure to get 1-2 goals.
Score was 4-1 at the time. If they got at least one goal during the two man advantage it's 4-2 & now they would of had a chance. Passing the puck to each other for 45-60 secs without shooting?????
The fans are going to get grey hair fast. Just for Men hair dye sales may go up in the Toronto area.
-
With your new idea A-BOATER you would be an alcoholic by mid season. I hate wine so I'll just whine whenever Canada's team lose :)

Love the fan's reaction: HOW? HOW? ;D ;D ;D
-
Chris must be shell-shocked !
Tons of posts that are pro Canuck & anti Leaf.
Well after all this is the westcoast.
We Canuck fans are very upset with the no cups in 3 finals & are ready to attack anything that moves.
We will be a little bit more positive to words the Leafs after the Canucks are NHL champions.
When was the last time the Leafs were in the finals?
L o n g t i m e ago. Leaf fans must be as antsy as Canuck fans.
At least we in recent years got to be excited cheering our team in the finals! ( we were excited at the possibility ... & with 2-0 up in games against Boston we were really excited. )
Honestly the Leafs are going to be a no show this season. They looked like zombies out there the other night.
Hope they kept the brown paper bags handy because fans will don them over their heads after 20 games.
Ya just know Chris is hoping for a Leaf win & Canuck loss.
He then will surface like a submarine. ;D
Chris has thick skin that's for sure.
His loyalty to the Leafs reminds me of a gambler saying he is having fun even though he lost 4 million dollars in 4 yrs. ;D
( hope Leafs do not somehow luck out & win the Cup this year...we on this forum will have to congratulate Chris & the Leafs & or become Leafs fans ourselves "Lord forgive" )
-
Hey Chris, Leafs game is on channel 351 if you have shaw cable.
-
Our first win tomorrow in Ottawa be it an exhibition tilt, the cup is ours. ;D ;D ;D
Another day another defeat. The Cup aint' comin ;D
-
Another day another defeat. The Cup aint' comin ;D
Another defeat. ;D
Loss to Sens in Ottawa & another loss to Sens in City of TO.
(Wonder if Leafs are doing this on purpose thus to go full out & show their talented ways when the season starts? Because honestly how does a team play so poorly unless they are doing it on purpose?
If they are giving it their all then I have to correct my predictions...not 40 plus wins...down to 25 plus wins)
-
Chris is mighty quiet this week. Still recovering from A-BOATER'S wine ?? :)

With all the very poor Leaf showing I assume your right but the only correction is it's his wine & not mine.
With all the Leafs losses & Canucks wins my red wine is vanishing rather quickly.
The Canucks looked pumped in Calgary last night & got a W.
Called for a glass of wine. Night before that another Leaf loss thus that called for another glass. ;D
Then somehow found a website Songs-Tube.net & Rockstar radio websites & there in lots of great performers & bands from yester year with included Elvis material so that called for more red wine.
Chris will surface soon as he awaits a TO win. He's like a submarine.
Gee it may take a while for a TO win. Hope the sub does not run out of oxygen.
Leafs do not play today but team 1, Canucks in China do.
Chris if you read this please check out the above music websites. The good music & song will take your mind off the Leafs for a bit.
We all like Chris of course but not his team of choice.
-
Just back from a week of meetings in TO back last night to catch some fish this AM and the meetings went well as you can see by our shutout tonight. Matthews wanted to come out and fish but showed him this highlight reel from today and he said no thanks. :'( ;D ::) https://youtu.be/UvwLgcOSkbM
-
TO 3-0 win tonight.
Congrads!
Mind you that's 1 W & 2 L
Leafs are on their norm track ;D
What is the Canucks pre season record ? :-[ oops should not of asked. Not so good.
Think the guy in the vid would do better without a rod & reel.

Actually Matthews would like to take up badminton. Apparently he likes non contact sports.

We wrap up 2 win in as many nights, the cup is ours. Meanwhile 2 losses for FA team, I imagine the were getting booed in China thinking Trump has something to do with the team. ;D ;D

In Canadian Tire in the clearance sales box was numerous items,one being a Toronto Maple Leaf auto license plate bracket/frame.
The original sales sticker gave the retail price & the 2nd sticker had the sales price...& finally a 3rd sticker with the clearance price.
Seems this product is very hard to sell.
Maybe next week it will be in the "take it for free" box.
( seems no one wants to let others know they are a Leaf fan when they stop at red lights ) ;D
-
I hear paper bags (extra large) are also on sale. Thought I saw Chris there stocking up. :)
-
Been on the road, hunting for a week, getting ready for the first win tomorrow night. Will have to rent a room tomorrow night in Merritt to see the game. -5 last night, it is hockey weather. The Cup is ours. ;D ;D ;D
-
Hunting for a goalie, a defenceman ?

Hunting for a goalie, a defenceman ?
;D
Chris is walking in nature / wilderness ( as he says "hunting" ) to calm his nerves.
He knows management can kick the can down the road only so long till there are just no more excuses for not getting the Cup or at the very least getting into the finals.
Leaf fans are so so hopeful this season as they believe the 1017/18 Leafs are going to have a great season.
Even one Leaf fan highiked from Quebec of all places to Winnipeg for their 1st game. ( 7 rides )
After the 7th ride which took him to the outskirts of the city he decided to call a taxi & the driver gave him a earful of the improved Winnipeg team.
It's like a horse race to the finish line & there will be only 1 winner.
1st winners are the play offs & the major winner is the Stanley Cup.
2 seasons really. The long haul to get a play off spot & the long haul to win the Cup.
After 20 games we fans will see the smiles or the frowns coming over the management,players,sports media, & we the $ paying fans. Sort the real teams from the hope so's ( Hope so's will be in SOS mode )
Will Chris have a frown or smile after 20 games?
Will FA & myself have frowns or smiles after 20 games.
Easy for the new coach for the Canucks.
If the Leafs win tonight or lose all coach Green has to say to his players " do or do not do what the Leafs did" .
Life is so simple.
Chris please stay in your motel room after the game.
( if he goes into the bar after the loss he may possibly start a riot )
-
Oh Chris it was 39 F for last night's low here in Richmond.
What's that in C ? 3-4 C or something...
Yes your right it's hockey temps.
Mind you in finals it's 23-25 C Boo. Not hockey weather that's for sure.
Hockey season should be ended by mid April.
Get only 8 teams into play offs.
-
Came down from the Mountain today in time to watch the Leafs outclass the Jets 7 -2 who were as cool as it was in the mountains last night, - 10.
Was a good day on the hunt with as many grouse taken as goals scored tonight by both teams. I of course rented a room in Merritt to watch us begin our march to the Cup, the team looks so solid, better than I thought. By the way the grouse are far better for us to consume than some farmed chicken I would say, maybe as bad as farmed Salmon that Dave and that chap from Kamloops like to eat. ;D ;D ;D
FA will get an early start on his beer after tonight I am sure. :-\
Also I purchased a Pavel Bure Panther jersey today with his name on and number on it. I wonder what it would be worth as I purchased for only a few dollars. ;D ;D
Back home tomorrow to get ready for the Wild Salmon Caravan as we travel from Vancouver to Chase following the sockeye home, wonder how many we will see that made it this year.
-
Thank The Lord FA does not like red wine. ( do not have to give him any ...he may be thirsty after that big Leaf win. )
The Leafs took a page right out of M Ali Cassius Clay fight plan. The Rope "a" Dope.
Leafs took 3-4 penalties on purpose so the Jets would get frustrated by the many failed scoring chances...only then to multiply the pressure on Mason the Winnipeg's goalie playing his 1st game on his new team.
Sure enough 3 goals in 5 minutes...another goal in the 2nd.
Had no more time to watch so via Chris's post it was a 7-2 final.
Did Mason play in the 3 rd period or did the coach put in the back up ?
If Mason played the whole game & let in 7 goals wow that is a terrible start for him.
Well the Leafs looked very good but what if the Jets scored early in the 1st on those many chances?
Jets just shot the puck but did not send in men to crowd the net?
Where was the screen & extra man to deflect or knock in rebounds ?
Bad day in the office for Jets & very good day for Leafs.
Leafs have a goalie now that reminded me of Brodeur in his prime for the New Jersey Devils.
(Leafs looked very good but can they keep it up?)
-
FAKE NEWS. Overrated. Believe me they're overrated. Beating a team that missed the playoffs for years is a big achievement. ;) Think I'll have a cofefe instead of A-BOATER'S red wine.
-
Canucks win, Canucks win. The Cup is ours. ;D
-
Another nice point in the pocket. Rolling up the points :)
-
Another nice point in the pocket. Rolling up the points :)
Canucks have only played two games in a week since the NHL season started.
3 of out 4 possible pts.
Wish our goalie did not try those diving belly flop save attempts. He's let in a goal like that in each game.
Luongo also had that flaw...dive forward belly flop save attempt.
Over all Markstrom has play decent.
( Toronto playing very well shhhhhhhh! Quiet. )
How about the Vegas Golden Knights.
& the goalie they got from Pens is playing great. He has won them some of the games. Stood on his head. Hope he can keep it up because Fleury can suddenly go cold & play really bad. Let in 4-5 goals.
Maybe Being on a new team he will stay energized & stay focused. ( knights & leaves shhhhh...quiet )
-
Chris is really into his wine tonight. Leaves lose 6-3 including surrendering a short handed goal when New Jersey was 2 man short. Tough to be a Leaf fan.

Leafs had a two man advantage you say & they allow a goal.
They must of caught the same virus the BC Lions caught a few weeks ago.
Have a feeling it's "light's out for the leaves" & it will be like 2 losses & 1 win average.
Chris can borrow some of my wine after hours.
-
Got to see the Leafs beat the Habs on Saturday while in Chase on the Wild Salmon Caravan with the player of the year getting the winner. Had my new Leaf jersey on too. Will watch the next 2 games in Merritt and as well the Chilliwack Chiefs against Merritt on Wednesday too. Even when on the road the Leafs are too good to miss.
Up in the mountains the popular leaves are falling but not Canada's team. ;D ;D ;D

Same Canuck backup goalie going to play against the Bruins.
Toronto so far is impressing.
They are fast & up beat all adding up to lots of pts.
Surely Chris is very pleased.
Waiting for a head to head game between the Canucks & compost leaves ;D
( gee wonder if we could swap teams in a major trade...more major than the trade of Wayne G "The Great One" going to the LA Kings. )

Sorry Chris decided we will not go with the major of all major trades.
I'm killing the deal. Chris was not out chasing salmon;he was trying to trade the entire Toronto team for the Canucks. Yep ya heard it here. GM's coaches trainers players top to bottom were going to be swapped.
Tonight's Canucks game showed how special our organization is. From Pres. GM coach players...
Keep your leaves. ;D ;D ;D
-
keep hoping but you will not make the playoffs again, I am back on the river today after a month of hunting for grouse and deer not any new players as the Cup is ours. ;D ;D ;D

Sounds to me your having a great time in the great outdoors.
With all the rain in the last while the ground must be soaked well & creeks & river levels not low.
Getting back to hockey yesterday read that some of the experts in Vegas that are looking at the odds have picked the TO Maple Leafs to be favourites to win the 2017/18 Stanley Cup.
Of course FA other Canuck fans & I am not of the same opinion. The Canucks & their Cool Hand Luke head coach really seem to have a real developing poise about them.
-
You're right A-BOATER. Leaves won't win the Cup. Granted they are off to a hot start but they will flounder as they usually do. Remember the Canadiens last season ? Started on a 11 game unbeaten streak and look where it got them. Eliminated in the first round.
-
Your right too FA ;D
Leaves lost to the Ottawa tonight.
Lots of 2-1s against the leaves non D style.
6-3 could of been 8-3 easily.
The news from Las Vegas that recently picked the leaves to win the Cup must of either filled the players heads with hot air or the leaves players are still in "shock" that they are somehow favoured to win Stanley.
Heard Chris is nearly in a coma when he heard his team is picked be the champions at the end of the year. ( honestly bet coaches GMs & Chris did not like the news as it just adds extra pressure to their team. )
As the leaves fall from the trees this time of yr so too the leaves are going to go into their slide...losing streak...pain of it all. ( unless leaves can prove us wrong )
-
Noticed that Chris is uncharacteristically quiet. Drowning his sorrow in A-BOATER'S red wine ?

"Submarine" Chris.
He only surfaces when the leaves get a W.
He ROARS like a lion.
That's why he will never be a head coach.
Wins he would speak to the press core.
In losses he would not answer any media's questions. He would go straight to the parking lot & drive home.
Offer is still there. If Chris runs out of red wine he can borrow a bottle & return two.
-
LOL "submarine Chris"
DIVE DIVE DIVE!!!!!

LOL "submarine Chris"

;D ;D ;D Yep Chris never posts when his leaves lose fair & square.
But us Canuck fans on this site post even when the Canucks lose.
We explain how they lost unfairly.
We give truthful excuses on how the Canucks were cheated,lied to,deceived,unfair penalties,non calls on other team, on & on on why the loss happened. Un bias observations.
In fact we would have 3 Stanley Cups if life was fair. >:(

Your so right. ;D
Sub Chris in his latest under table dealings has gotten Vegas to pick leaves to win the Stanley in 17/18 season. We are watching you Chris.
Infact when you post we are going to study every every word. We will find out what you are saying in the post & the un hidden truths / lies behind / reversed messages as we know as you fool the fish you have fooled us everyday nice Canuck fans & had conspiracy in play. Boo .
Simply state the facts which are : Canucks ya ya ya ( Beatles un recorded song )
: Maple Leafs Boo Boo Boo ( Elvis un recorded song )
Oh by the way the Canucks beat the Red Wings yesterday for another great win.
(Chris is a good sport...all in fun of course )
-
Of course we all lose some games but we will be winning more than we lose. Oh, just noticed we beat a unbeaten team tonight, the Kings. Life is all good above water tonight. ;D ;D ;D

Submarine Chris has surfaced. No surprize.
Leaves beat the unbeaten team via ropes hair choke pulling the trucks,foreign object in the rink ( ring ).
Chris please do not cloud the issue by "facts".
(But must say it was a war & physical & leaves did come out on top. Shhhhhh. )

1/2 bottle is ok ...1 bottle = good time in the present tense but feeling terrible future tense as in hang over.
Canucks up up up !
Leaves down down down...
Folks did you read Chris's last post.
There was lots of "propaganda" in that post for sure. We study every word. He's trying to set us up.
Do not fall for it.
Let the facts tell the story.
Facts only facts & not propaganda.

How did your team do tonight Submarine Chris ? ;D
-
Halloween came early for Chris. His worst nightmare; his over-rated Laughs got lit up and the Canucks demolish the Washington Capitals. More whine and wine for Submarine Chris. ;D
-
Washington Caps el Russian played terrible. Wonder if one divides his pay cheque into equal payments & how much did he get paid tonight. A lot.
My heart felt "sorrys" to Chris in another loss & I know he sends his over welling congrats on another great Canuck win. ;D
Young guys & new leaders are playing great & the twins are under less pressure to have to score goals.
New coach seems to make the dif.
Goaltending also much improved.
Miller is gone. Nice guy but up & down player.
-
I guess Chris' notable absence means his Laughs have lost again tonight. Tough to be a Laugh fan. ;D

We send our heart felt condolences to ya Chris. We feel for you. Know your broken hearted.
Leafs better watch tape of the Knights games to get refocused.
Honestly when the so called experts named the Leafs to be favourites to win the Stanley Cup it suddenly put a ton of extra pressure on the Toronto players.
They are in the mind set of improving but not in the mind set we have arrived.
Coaches should of come out immediately & responded with " oh that's nice to be picked to be the favourites but we believe we are just one of many teams that could win the Cup in this season. We are far away from dominating the league as there are many good teams.
Yes that would of taken the pressure off the Leafs.
Sadly the organization did not respond to my knowledge.
Oh yes we are so so good. Seemed to be the attitude.
Pride comes before a major fall.
Look at Chris's Leafs now.
Down down down.
-
A-BOATER, there is a vacancy for a Leaf advisor. Interested ? I hear it pays well but unfortunately it comes with a dark side. You have wear the Laugh paraphernalia in public ;)

Thanks but no thanks.
Choice of wearing Laugh paraphernalia in public with $ or get a weekly root canal ?
I'd go weekly to the dentist office ;D
Heard Chris was going to be fired or already is.
Grapevine rumours is he is willing to be an assistant to the advisor.
( Rotten apple in the barrel if the leaves allow that. Personal opinion )
Possibly Chris has a few games to get the leaves back to winning or walk the plank.
Fans definitely shocked back to reality.
For awhile there they believed in the Vegas so called experts.
-
Leaves played hard in dif time zone but no cigar. Close game though.
Canucks lose too in a very close game as well.
Not Chris's ( leaves) or Canuck fans night. :(
-
What ?? The Leaves lose again ;) Las Vegas may have to re-evaluate the odds of the Laughs making the playoffs let alone winning the Stanley Cup.
-
Yes FA the leaves may be hard pressed to make the playoffs.
As for tonight it was all Murphy's Law. Too many things went wrong.
LA Dodgers take forever to take out their starting pitcher. Hit hit hit 5-0 before ya know it.
Then the Canucks lose. Only 1 pt earned in two games.
& the leaves get a big win. Boo!
Ducks are a talented team too & a home game.
Leaves players must feel fine after all the recent losses.
-
Had the Laughs lost tonight, their Leaf advisor would be walking the plank off the Keith Wilson bridge tomorrow at dawn. :)

Chris did not post or comment?
Maybe he has walked the plank already?
Chris your welcome to become a Canuck fan. Open arms.
Canucks were robbed.
They nearly had 40 shots.
Ex Canuck goalie gets the shut out.
Revenge.
Gee we could of kept him.
( Eskimo QB who is tough as nails & a winner once was a BC Lion. He could still be but...leg him escape.
Like Doug Flutie was a Lion when he came to the CFL. )
Our sports teams in Canada seem to shoot themselves in the foot a lot.
Bad advisors giving GM bad info I guess.
Maybe if leaves get so few more wins Chris will surface. ( maybe he's got the flu or tooth ache or teeth ache )

Unreal how Sports Illustrated mag 3 yrs ago guessed right. Astros would be champs & Springer the MVP. What are the odds of that happening?
Babcock has gone on record that Vegas picking the leaves to win Stanley is all fluff.
In other words he is saying "words are cheap...actions tell the story "
He knows a lot of good teams in the NHL are contenders. He just wants his team to be one of that has a shot.
Leaves lose tonight 5-3 but no rest for TO as they played their hearts out the night before.
They kept the game close though.
Toronto has a winning record this season ( more Ws than Ls ) so let's see if they can keep it going.
-
I see that the Leaf Advisor has gone into the Witness Protection Program. ;D

Hope everything is ok with you Chris. As for FA Novabonker etc & myself we like you & when we put down ( some of us ) the Leafs it's all in fun. Hope you do not take it personal.
The truth is the Leafs & Canucks organizations are really putting out an effort to be a great team.
In football there is a penalty called "piling on" & hopefully when FA & myself post our teasing or put downs on the Leafs we do so not with a mean way but only in fun.
Not trying to pressure you to post as this message is just to say you are liked & respected & I (we) hope all is ok with you! :)
Tell ya one thing I respect the Leafs 1,000,0000 x more than the White Caps soccer team. Decided to watch their game against Seattle & they needed to win or else their season is over.
They were losing 1-0 & they just still played defense till the end???? with 10 minutes to go in the match.
They should of brought our their men up field & try to get the equalizer.
Crazy.
The Leafs & Canucks are smart enough if losing by a goal & near end of the game would of taken out their goalie to get the extra man on the ice.

Don't worry about Submarine Chris A-BOATER, when the Make Beliefs fluke out a couple of wins together, he'll be posting that the Cup is theirs, and what a grate them they are ;D

He'd better be ready for Leafmageddon on December 2nd. It's the time for the NHL's 2 top advisors to compare notes. Seriously, I'll give him a call tomorrow.
-
Was there any hockey tonight guys? ;D ;D ;D
-
Yep Canucks robbed the Pens. Vancouver was out shot out chanced but they came out on top.
Leafs gave it the old college try but lost to a very very good Blues team.
The few times I have watched St Louis play they have looked good.
Canucks really looked calm & confidant.

Not by the Make Beliefs. Paper bags are on Special in Toronto this week. ;D

Back from hunting and the Wild Salmon Caravan so off to TO and get the team on their march to the Cup.

Welcome back. We missed your insightful posts. I promise not to let the Maple Leafs management /white collars / office staff / know that you were out in the great outdoors busy day after day with non hockey activities while the Leafs were getting more losses than wins during that time.
Leaf loss & Chris reels in another salmon. Leaf loss & Chris hunts down another big bird.
How do some people sleep at night ?
Now that your back on the job let's see if the Leafs come out flying???
Have no idea who is winning the Leafs / Knights game.

The adviser is indeed back, winning the game tonight. My salary is going to rise they say and no more hunting trips on the road. ;D ;D ;D
-
Congrads!
Life is good for you.
Salmon,bird & now a big win.
Vegas is no push over.
Your star player Matthews is a spark plug that's for sure. Reminds me of Bure or Andre the Super Pest or Cliff Ronnings. These guys just seem to skate & skate & skate every shift every game. No red face when they cashed their cheques.
Folks please go to page 6 & read Chris's yes Chris's today's comments !!!
-
Fake news ! Toronto media is fake news. Game was fixed. ;D
-
At the end of the night :
Leafs as we know get a win ( fake news or not ? )
Vancouver Canucks lose.
Nightmare.
Red Wings played night before. Overall a close game & score indicates that.
Detroit wanted this one more.
-
End of the night & the Canucks get the win in Calgary. 5-3.
This game could of gone either way but give the Canucks credit as they are battling.
Remember the Canucks a few years ago. They were giving up many 2-1 ones 3-2s odd man rushes 5-6x a game. Teams now have to work hard to get any goals against them as the Canucks team are in position.
Good line changes & transition hockey.
New coach system & good team chemistry & FA good advisor skills! FA good job. You deserve a raise in pay / not Chris. Chris should be demoted to the minors.
Speculation is Novabonker gave him a phone call & demanded he stopped his fishing/hunting vacation & get back to work or else. After the call Chris was back to work. Alittle red faced I bet.
Pressure is off him at this time because of a recent Leaf win.
Canucks play Ducks & maybe face Miller in the net. That would be fun.
-
What a great team we will have. The rebuilding is right on schedule.
-
Leafs get a 4-2 win. Empty net to make it 4.
Min. nearly tied the game on 4 scoring chances at least with the extra man.
Bet Leaf fans blood pressure was quite high.
Heard thru the grapevine that Chris told the Leafs during the second intermission that the Leafs must get a goal in the 3rd & get ahead by two goals.
Leafs did just that & scored to make it 3-1.
Chris told the players Min. will score in the third because of a rally or push.
That goal he predicted would make it 2-2 & with momentum it then would be in Min. favour.
So it all panned out exactly the way Chris predicted it would.
Even better as as with the empty net goal it was 4-2.
Very good advice & great Maple Leaf win.
( not was good as the Canuck win yesterday nevertheless a start. That's 2 Leaf wins in a row )

You're beginning to sound like Chris. Too much wine tonight ?

;D actually have not even had a drop of wine or beer for over a week.
Surprise surprise..
( the last 2 times I drank each time 1.5 bottles of red wine & Elvis Beatles,Creedence Clearwater Revival
Rolling Stones...& let's just say next day was hang over. So ...better take a break.)
Better to get high naturally...
I better change my post style as sure do not want to sound like a Leaf fan. Thanks FA for your insights.
Much appreciated.
Canucks on their off day & possibly watched the Leaf game on the boob tube.

Stop the press Stop the press Call the Canuck brass immediately. Put skates on these two big burly guys & stick them in front of the Canuck goalie.
There's not a NHL forward in the league or any league that would come 50 ft of these guys.
Think Pat Quinn & Harold Harold Harold looked tough on the blue line ? These guys look 1000 x more scary. ;D
Seriously you two looked like ya had fun at the game.
We only live once in this world. ( hope we can play hockey on Cloud 9. )
-
Novabonker, you missed a golden opportunity to rid of the Leaf advisor by making him walk back to Chilliwack. ;D
-
Have you noticed once the Advisory get back from hunting and to TO we are racking up the wins again. Off to a Fraser Valley Salmon Society meeting now jersey proudly being worn and the hat too. On a fishing note the river is full of chum now some coho too, some as as bright as a coho. an 18 pounder again taken for the smoker.

Yes we have noticed. You deserve the finest of the finest Cuban cigars ( exploding kind )
Canucks played a complete stinker tonight...reminds me of the last White Cap & Lions flop games. >:(
Canucks played but in my view the Canucks had a day off.
Have to admit Leafs are winning & your getting into nice fish...life is good for Chris & TO fans.
ME feel green around the gills....nothing a few Leaf losses & Canuck wins will solve.
-
A few more losses and Leaf nation will be clamoring for the Advisor's head.
-
Gee another win for the Maple Leafs.
Who do these Leafs think they are ?
Leafs must think they are the Canucks.
And who does Chris the advisor think he is ?
Does he dare to compare to mastermind advisor FA ?
Well I guess so....
Chris advice seems to be spot on lately & Leafs are playing great.
( have to get that Beatles song sent their way???Get Back get back where you once belonged ...)
Ontario is buzzing with wins in hockey & football....Argos in 1st place.
Stanley & Grey Cup in their sights.
-
I hear the hunting is great. Time for Chris to go on another hunting trip.

Maple win back to back games against Boston. 4th win in a row...very impressive.
Congrads to Chris & the Maple Leaf organization.
The Canucks on the other hand lose 5-0.
This on the surface looks very bad.
Let's take a closer yes CLOSER LOOK.
The Sharks have players making millions & millions of dollars per year. Yes.
The Sharks have blood thirsty screaming cheering fans routing for them. Yes.
The poor Canucks have the fans yelling & booing at their every play. Yes.
The ref called penalties against the Canucks that on replay showed that the infraction did not occur. Yes.
Hooking when it was a simple stick check on the puck. Yes.
Penalty shot called when the replay showed the Shark player shot the puck before the Canuck reached in with his stick. Yes.
Canucks took out their goalie & this allowed the Sharks to score extra goals & increase the score. Yes.
Looking at the game CLOSER with what was mentioned above only allows one conclusion.
Any other NHL team including the Maple Leafs would of lost by the score 10-0 & the the Canucks only lost by the score 5-0.
Yes the Leafs were very impressive but the Canucks were very very very very very impressive tonight !
What a great team BC Canada has. :) Yes.

Great come from behind win tonight. The rebuilding is coming along nicely.
FA that was great advice you gave the Canucks. Told the players to let LA score two quick goals in the. 1st period & then for them to kick it into D & offence mode.
Canucks were up to the challenge.
What a great advisor & team we have.
Kinda like Ali only using one arm in a fight when boxing an inferior opponent.
Canucks are so much better than LA Kings as Canucks are up & up & Kings down & down.
We spotted them 2 goals to make the game interesting.
Leafs are growing lots of rust. Players are sitting in their Lazy Boy recliners. By the time they play next they will have put on 5-10 lbs. ( beer. ) ;D
Leafs better be ready for Dec 2 2017.
Dun dun da dun dun da dun dun da dun.
-
Congrads to Chris & the Leafs for their big 1-0 OT win !
What the Leafs can do so too the Canucks can do.
Canucks are so much better than the expansion team Golden Knights,orders from above was to spot them 2 goals, just to make the game more interesting.
Canucks are now in the D & offence mode.
2nd period.
Edit in : game over 5-2 Vegas W.
White Caps are a joke. Zero offence in 2 play off games against Seattle.
BC Lions miss play offs
Vancouver Canucks lose to an expansion team :o
Caps have no heart.
Lions need new coaches
Canucks need new players in a new design uniform.
Those dark blue with a terrible crest are too depressing.
Teal color with orange trims & a big V C crest dark red.
Boo !
Vegas looked so good on their skates & physical. Took shots from the slot area...
Vegas also had their 5th stringer goalie in the net. Canucks had their #1 goalie between the pipes.
Guess Vancouver should dismantle & leave the league.
Get another franchise in two yrs & get their players in a draft from every NHL team.
Back to the drawing board.
-
Another lose for Vancouver this time, against the Gamblers.
I would not Gamble on a bet the VC will make the playoffs, poor FA, so sad, he must have trouble getting up these days, should take him fishing and give him some much needed advise. ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for the offer but I have no desire to be humiliated in public standing next to a guy wearing Make Belief paraphernalia. ;D
-
Leafs have been doing very well without Matthews in the last four games (is it?) maybe it's prove the Leafs do better without this ace. Maybe more trouble in the dressing room.
Think that's why Chris has been quiet lately even with the Leafs wins ;D
FA was quiet till today but we know why. Canucks lacklustre efforts.
Word is been given: no more spotting the other team 2 goals.
Canucks have their pants half down & do not have the skill or effort to pull them back up.
Nothing that a Leaf loss & Canuck impressive victory tonight will not solve !!!!
EDIT IN: well 6-0 for Leafs & game is still going on.
Canucks better win or else western NHL fans may have a toss & turn bad sleep.
Did you see those Leaf fans in the building?
Rough game between the players may continue with Leaf fans in attendance being out numbered by Hab fans. Kinda like gang members being on another gang's turf.
Go Canucks Go !
-
Too much wine ;)
-
Too much wine ;)
Your under oath FA
Are you saying I have had too much wine or you are saying you have been drinking too much wine?
;)
Good game going on.
Blues seem to be a bit more physical & making nice play making nice passing plays.
Canucks though are playing hard & not giving the Blues much open ice as they are checking well & countering. Trying to use their speed.
At least the Canucks look alive in this one...Canucks just scored !! 2-1
-
Congrads to Chris & Leafs on their big big win in Hab land.
Gotta give credit where credit is due.
( mind you he advised the Leafs to play like the 1970s Flyers. Habs were forced to retaliate.) ::)
Congrads to the Canucks as they really fought hard. Effort.
At least they got a pt.
Blues are a good team. Wear ya down. Fast physical big guys & offensive talent.
They shoot from the slot a lot & shots from there have a good % to find the back of the net.
Fans deserve effort & the Canucks gave them that.
Add in: going to have a 2nd glass of France red wine.
After a post by FA decided to have a bit. Power of suggestion.
Now will someone suggest to the Canucks to win the Stanley Cup or in Nov to beat the Leafs by the score 10-0 ;D
-
Leafs beat a Habs team that couldn't put the puck in the Pacific Ocean.
-
A bad weekend for FA, while we are rolling
right along. ;D ;D ;D
-
Things are looking bright for Canada's team, the Canucks. The Cup will be ours.
-
A bad weekend for FA, while we are rolling
right along. ;D ;D ;D
Bad night for the Make Beliefs. Chris should go duck hunting, perhaps he can find a goalie in need of a job.
-
Leafs amazing win streak ends by Avs the turn leaf recent team.
Now it's the Canucks turn to get a streak going. ( even 2 win streak will be a start before a loss...gotta crawl before ya walk ...gotta walk before ya run )
-
Canucks grounded the Flyers 5-2 tonight. Nice way to open a road trip.
-
Canucks grounded the Flyers 5-2 tonight. Nice way to open a road trip.
Win #1 after a loss against the Blues ( see what the Blues did against the Oilers. Blues are for real )
If Canucks win tonight against Pens that will be win #2 thus it's a streak !
Win tonight the Canucks are a "walking" if they lose they are back to "crawl" mode.
Want to see a 4-5 game win streak to 2 loss average ratio then they will be a "flying" in "run" mode.
Knowing this wise coach Travis Green & you know who wise advisor of the Canucks they may be planning to limp into the playoffs to be under everyone's radar & expectations but the facts are they conserve lots of energy & less injuries thus at playoff time they can bump ...( better edit in a p next to the m ..bum it up ? does not make sense..type too fast or spell checker changed word :o ) ...it up a notch or two & make a run for the Stanley C. ;D
Pens will be a big test. Did not the Canucks beat them in Vancouver?
-
Another day and another 2 points. Rolling, rolling, rolling
-
And the perfect evening continues as the Leaves fall. Time to have a drink.
-
Another day and another 2 points. Rolling, rolling, rolling
2nd straight win. That's a streak. & up a notch on the performance meter.
Rolling rolling rolling walking walking walking...if a 3 rd win it's running running running.
Chris's Leafs a loss via the SO.
The cam showed a guy with a Leaf's jersey in the crowd but it was so quick. Looked like Chris actually.
( cheap seat area )
Very good game & goaltending on both sides.
Bet Chris is in awe of the Canucks. What a team ( at least on the road ....at home not so much. A mystery. )
-
Leaf advisor should go hunting again. ;D
-
Busy with the benefit concert for the fish farm occupiers, Fraser Valley Salmon Society used tackle sale, preparing for a meeting tomorrow with government agencies re gravel extractions on the Vedder River a year ago. They cancelled the meeting about 5 times hoping we would go away. Of course keeping the PAP gang in line.
Also picked up 1,000 cups for 5 days last week in a campaign and hoping to start a trend like this in Chilliwack. https://globalnews.ca/news/3881319/vancouver-single-use-items-garbage-problem/
Back on topic the next cup I get is the Stanley Cup and Nova and I will be in Vancouver next Saturday advising the Leafs how to trounce FA's squad. ;D ;D ;D
-
The showdown is coming between Leafs & Canucks.
Best team will win ( unless one team has 60 shots to 10 & the team that shot 10 wins by the score 2-1 )
Goalie has bad game & other goalie has great day.
( post less because my posts on discussion page were duds. ( hidden )Message by members must be given to post less & do not over post which I am guilty of.
Too much of a good thing is fun for me but for those who have to read it ..."not his post again".
Anyways go Canucks go Leafs down down down...( Washington vs Leafs recently..reality check ) ;D
-
Methinks that Chris is not coming into town to see Auston Matthews and the Make Beliefs but to see Brock Boeser. ;D
-
A come from behind win for the boys tonight. Daniel Sedin scored his 1,000 career points and Brock Boeser scores two more. Time to celebrate with a glass of fine scotch.

Great clean win for the boys.
TO won because an Oiler D man put the puck in his own net.
Oiler D guys are noted for that. Remember their D man years ago passes the puck but the puck hit his own goalie's pad & bounced into the Oiler net.
Unclean W by the Leafs. If the Leafs had any honour they would of not accepted that cheesy goal & ask the ref to drop the puck at centre ice & continue play. ::)
Leafs will experience Canuck mania soon.
The Leafs vs Canucks will have Grey Cup / Stanley Cup pressure even though it's just a reg. season game. 8) look out. Playing for keeps. Bragging rights.

The summit is tonight. I'm going to try and convince Chris to trade Marner for a bag of pucks and a pizza, ;D
Predictions?

LOL ;D ;D ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Know we Canuckers will be still laughing around 7pm. Leaf followers ( slaves ) will be crying as usual & making excuses for their team.
Know what ever team loses the game the slaves ( Leaf fans ) or us pampered loyal royal Canuck fans will be going to the laundry mat to wash out our under wears. ( Mrs will not allow the soiled undies go into home machine.)
Hope Leaf fans watching at the rink brought some pampers.
Nova asks for: Predictions: well 4-2 Canucks sounds good to me.
Gotta get some French red wine & have at least 2 glasses to celebrate.
Should custom order a cap with " Canucks defeat Leafs " Dec 2 / 17.
( in honestly hope it's a great clean game & win...Leafs are noted to take 2 pts or a pt anyway they can get them ...head shaker shame. Unclean victories. )
Certain Leaf fan(s) may be submarined for a long time..we will see....
Have a great time at the game guys.
I'll be watching religiously at 4pm via boob tube.
Grey Cup / Stanley Cup pressure in this game.
Twins should play good as they like the earlier games.
They get sleepy if the game is played at 7-10 pm ...bed time is early for these guys.
4-2 Canucks 4-2 Canucks 4-2 Canucks...Canucks up up & away ! Leafs down down down...
After Canucks great victory maybe Vegas will make a red alert announcement : we now predict the Canucks will win the 17/18 Cup.
-
I want what you're smoking A-BOATER ;D
5-2 'nuks, Boeser with another.
-
The summit is tonight. I'm going to try and convince Chris to trade Marner for a bag of pucks and a pizza, ;D
Predictions?
I predict the Leaf advisor will be very quiet tonight. Leafs need to throw in Matthews and Nylander to consummate the deal. Canucks will throw in two 1,000 points scorers in Henrik and Daniel Sedin.
-
Go Leafs Go, fans are calling for the Leaf advisor to leave. ;D Canucks 2-0 after 1st period.
-
Got a text from Nova saying he's lost Chris ... must be looking for tins :D

Good to see your picking the Canucks.
Wow 2-1 win for Vancouver played in Vancouver I think ?
Gee there were so many Leaf fans in the building ya would think & cheering one would think it's played in the east.
Great game!
Gotta say that it was a well played game by both teams. Markstrom had to play at a top level throughout or else ...Leafs could of filled the net with pucks.
Leafs also had open nets but they shot wide or missed the puck. Thank The Lord for that.
Dave FA & all Canuck fans ,it's time to celebrate ! Nearly crapped my pants in this one. Exciting.
-
So many leafs fans in Van what does that say about living in Toronto ?? ;D
-
I predict the Leaf advisor will be very quiet tonight.
:D
-
Gonna take a truck load of tins to make up for this loss :)
-
What a game! Markstrom stood on his head, Stetcher showed the grit that got him the gig in the first place. The pregame presentation for Daniel Sedin was as classy as it gets and having Derek Dorsett present the silver puck was just icing on the cake. I figured out that Chris was in Leaf Land, offering advice to team that they obviously didn't take or they might have done a bit better
So many leafs fans in Van what does that say about living in Toronto ?? ;D
There was a swarm of them tonight.
-
So many leafs fans in Van what does that say about living in Toronto ?? ;D
We Canuck fans had better be alert. There just may be a push to name the team to the Vancouver Maple Leafs.
Ya FA I bet Chris will take this loss very hard. He really should not because our goalie stopped the score from being 5-3 for the Leafs.
Hot goalie really frustrates the team that got more shots & scoring chances.
Submarine Chris we hope you can post to your trend very soon. Surface. ;D
You have a good team. A very good team.
At the end of the day the Vancouver Canucks have the bragging rights!
Canucks also had a lot of good chances & the score also could of been 5-3 Canucks.
Agree Nova class act with Dorsett presenting the silver puck. Special night in so many ways.
-
Chris is taking the loss very hard. Hope he's doing OK
-
He will find a few tins and floats today so all will be well .... until the next Leaf loss.
-
Game kinda reminder me of the movie "The Perfect Storm".
Canucks made it to port. Leafs did not.
It had that Grey Cup/Stanley Cup pressure build up & the game did not disappoint.
Janitor rink staff rumoured that there were soiled pampers in the garbage cans.
From Leaf or Canuck fans ? Looked like 1/2 the crowd had a Leaf Jersey on.
More fans to share the loss. Less pain when it spread to so many. ;D
Leaf player gets the puck & shoots wide. ( why because the Canucks D was checking so well & in position the Leaf players knew they had no time to set up...so they rushed their shot attempt. Other times the Leaf player missed the pass because of the same reason )
Canucks from their forwards defence & goalie played a near perfect game. Markstrom played 5 STARS.
Next day Sunday for some reason got into the Christmas season frame of mind ;D
Hope the Leaf / Calgary game is on the boob tube.
See if the Leafs pot in 4-5 goals this time. Smith the Flames goalie is a so so stopper in my books.
-
Another win for the boys tonight and a shutout to boot. Rebuilding coming along nicely.

Another win for the boys tonight and a shutout to boot. Rebuilding coming along nicely.
Never tired to hear the good news about the Canucks ! Great factual post FA.
We don't want to hear any propaganda about the "leaves."
Submarine Chris took the BAIT ;D
Tell Chris to do something & he'll do opposite.
Tell him to go & he'll come.
Tell him to come & he'll go.
That's why he hardly posts on his Leafs anymore. ( he posts like crazy on the discussion forum )
We requested & facilitated his opinion so he got quiet.
He took the BAIT. ;D
& of course imagine travelling all the way to Vancouver & paying big bucks to watch the game of the year & Leafs only pissed their pants. Hollywood could not have written a better story. That's about as sad as going to a wine tasting event & there's only water in the glasses.
Viva the Canucks.
Infact with the table top hockey game the Canucks beat the Leafs everyday.
( do not read: think the Leafs will really take it to Calgary ...do not let Chris know my true thoughts )
Let's not hear any crap on the Leafs but keep those positive truthful posts on the Canucks.
Viva the Canucks.
-
If Markstrom did not play great the Leafs would of best the Canucks a few nights ago. Tonight surprisingly the Leafs came out rather flat against the Flames but Anderson the TO stopper played "SUPER" & stole 2 pts. Stopper sure gave his employer ( Leafs brass their $$$ worth )
Congrads to Leafs ( & to Chris .... maybe he's cracking a little smile after tonight ). :)
Canucks are looking really good lately. All their lines are going plus Markstrom is so focused.
Smooth running machine Canucks are. No tune up needed.

I'm hoping Horvat's injury isn't serious. He's so versatile on the penalty kill and with that offensive skill set, there's a big pair of skates to fill. .

Hope Horvat does not become injury prone as Bure became with his knee.
Knee problem then Bure rebilited only to have his skate go into a crack in the ice & twist the knee (re injure & basically take him out of hockey too early in his career like Bobby Orr. )
Imagine a puck hit him in the ankle? Or skated too hard & hurt it ?
As FA stated 6 wks or another tv report said week to week..whatever that means.
Hope he heals 100% as nothing worse skating in pain.
Canucks lose to the Flyers. Bump in the road. ( maybe by design as a team does not want too many wins as it adds extra pressure. Like the Stampers winning nearly all their games only to lose in the big one ) Canucks goal is to make the playoffs & then turn up the "heat" 16 wins = Cup.
EDIT IN this update : just heard on the tv news that Seattle may be in the NHL in 2020/21 season.
That's good as the Canucks will play there & thus less air miles in total. Seattle very close.

Leafs's back up goalie gets a shut out ( stopped over 40 shots. ) Leafs potting in the goals & their tandem goalie pair keeping out the puck from their net. Oilers had a long 2 man advantage & zippo.
Leafs are playing like winners. Winning & talented minus the fat head. They are truly at the moment the go go team !
Give the Canuck player(s ) good press & sadly they get drunk & starry eyed for a few weeks cloud 9.
Matthews is a great example of being level headed & cool. He plays great every game.

Well if Chris has cold feet to cheer on the Leafs on this public forum so decided to be non bias & be the one to mention something positive on the leaves oops I meant to say Leafs.
Then let the Leaf haters respond ;D
Mind you & nevertheless my Christmas wish is the Canucks play more aggressive to get wins & get on a roll.
They are good very good at times but then they kinda slack off & go into a cool down mode.
Canucks when they decide to play good they can dominate a team for the entire game.
If Chris decides to start posting on his Leafs then I'll just get back to only cheering on the Canucks. Chris is the true fan but I am just calling what I see. Strike ...ball....
But at the moment the Leafs are going up up up the Canucks down down down....( maybe the Canucks should use more backhand shots like the old day hockey players did. Flames scored 2 goals from the backhand )
-
Leafs lose to Flyers & Canucks lose to Nashville.
Leafs & Canucks have key injuries thus not surprised.
Teams must bounce back to get out of their losing mini streak.

Never seen anything like it. :o

Leafs have many talented players on their present roster but one of their greats has passed on. Johnny Bower the stopper with Stanley Cup wins under his belt. He had a great life & long one as he was 93.
RIP.
-
Leafs get a big win. Auston Matthews gets a goal in Arizona. Is this his home state? Think so.
Patrick Marleau gets goals / assit.
Coyotes put up a Johnny Bower picture on the screen which was a class act.
7 goals.
Canucks get 5 goals. They played super.
Travis Green took his gloves off & blasted the players so it sure looks like his players heard his message. 5-2 over the Blackhawks.
Canucks Gagne Boeser Vanek line surely played super.
Beautiful non look back passes & bang it's in.
Canucks literally bottled up Chicago via defense & went on the offence. Steady for 60 minutes. Defense/offence /good goaltending.
-
Maple Leafs vs Vegas the expansion team.
After the 1st period it's 3-0 for the Knights.
Wonder if Chris gave his team lousy advise.
Maybe it's not his fault as he must of told his guys to go to bed early & have a glass of orange juice.
The players gave the signal & sneaked out of their rooms & enjoyed the bright lights of Vegas.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but if this keeps up at this rate the game will end 9-0 zippo.
Maybe Leafs will wave the white flag with 10 minutes to go in the 3rd period & leave the ice.
Then it should be only 7-0 by then. ;D
Canucks look very good last night compared to the Leafs so far.
Hey never know what will happen in this game. Matthews & gang may wake up & get the W.
Lots of time left.
-
6-3 final nope TO did not score 6 unanswered goals.
Tale of the tape.
Vegas came out with a flurry at the opening bell.
Toronto mustered a comeback & made a contest out of it but Vegas countered & thus got the big W.
So...Canucks scored 3 goals yesterday & so did TO today. So WT heck what can we say ? Both teams tried but got no cigar.
Leafs do play great at home & fairly good on the road.
Canucks play better on the road & most times stink out the building in Vancouver.
Happy New Year to all on this FWR site!
Including submarine Chris. ( or should put it: Happy New Year to all Canuck & Leaf fans )
Are the Canucks playing Toronto on my birthday...Jan. 6 /18 ? If so...you know what I want as gift on my special day ;D ;D ;D
If Leafs best the Canucks on my birthday it will really be a downer. >:( but a WIN ...it will feel like Christmas New Year's & a Birthday all rolled in one! Celebrate.
-
Leafs' shooting blanks much like Chris' duck hunting skills. :)
-
Tomorrow is Jan 6. & it's my birthday. 63yrs old going on 45 mentally. ( some may think 13 ..hey why you think dat .... ) Talk about a set up against myself :o
Canucks are in the Leaf house. Why does this game have to land on my birthday ( nervous)
There's a big possibility that the Leafs will spoil my party & day.
You just know the Leaf players ,coach & their fans remember that they were robbed in the December game in the City of Vancouver.
They will want pay back with not only a W but they will want to score 5-8 goals in the process.
But somehow if the Canucks can dodge the bullet 2x in a row my emotions & body will not feel aged at all but rather feel even younger & bounce in my steps.
Should Leafs get the W definitely will feel 70 & like ball & chain. Either way at least 1/2 bottle of France Red Wine will be downed. A win & I'll drink it in white collar style if loss blue collar style right from the bottle. No glass needed.
Dun dun da dun dun da dun dun da dun.....this game will feel like a play off game.
Wish the best to the Leafs... Shake my hand. ( oh wait till my other hand hoes behind my back with fingers crossed ) Bannon puts out his expose book on Trump then he says the next day " Trump is a great man "
Kidding aside think the Leafs are much a better team than the Canucks at this point in time.
In other words: my 63 birthday will be a dud. Bad news.
Taking me forever to type this as it's Canada vs Sweden. Posts hit by both teams.
Both teams playing good but Sweden looks to have an edge in chances.
-
Canucks will be giving A-BOATER a nice birthday gift.
-
Happy birthday A-BOATER! I spoke to the team today and got a guarantee they'll pull this on off for your birthday. I'm also working on getting that chunk of Joe Thornton beard Kadri pulled out for you,
-
Yep about 2 hrs to go & it's my birthday.
After reading you guys ( FA & Nova ) responses about the Canucks beating the Leafs tomorrow I feel a lot better now.
In fact I better change my opionion. From Leafs will more than likely beat the Canucks to: The leafs have zero chance to win ;D
( well...even a tie after reg. time will do...means a pt in the standings. Maybe the pt that allows them to enter the playoffs )
Go Canucks Go Go Canucks Go Leafs down down down Canucks up up & away ! With a big S on their jersey. Super Canucks!
EDIT IN:thanks for the Birthday greetings :) closer to heaven every year.
Last year said I should lose a few lbs. this year let's see ...what what what Oh ya ...got lose a few more lbs ( even more than last yr. >:(
Who can I blame for that. Not me surely.
-
Know lots of people in Manitoba so after talk talk talk time time time & getting caught behind on my plans on this birthday finally got to tune in to THE GAME. 3 minutes gone by.
No score. Oh no "injury." Puck in the face is it? Stan the steamer & Trevor up in the box.
The war has started.
Will I get my birthday gift or will the Leafs destroy my special day in more ways than one.
FA Nova & me & other fans know your cheer on the Canucks !!! Go Canucks Go Go Canucks Go..
Submarine Chris must have his periscope up looking in on this game. :)
Big stop on Martin by Markstrom. cupcakes...my heart nearly stopped. ;D
-
Happy birthday AB

Sorry ABs but Markstrom's got to go. Oh, well. A point is a point.

It was collusion between the NHL, officials and the Leaves. Gary Bettman should be jailed.
Happy Birthday A-BOATER. Many happy returns. The upside is that the Canucks picked up a point. Pour yourself another glass of wine and enjoy.

Happy birthday AB
Thank you ! & to all for the greetings/best wishes on my birthday.
Well I was hoping for at least a point in this game & the Canucks did get it.
Honestly I hoped to watch this game closely & concentrate but too many distractions.
Meal, conversation, plus a phone call from across the ocean so had to go to a quiet room & talk.
That was during the 3rd period when that call came. It was 2-0. When I returned to the game a Leaf just scored. So I thought it must be 2-1 Canucks.
WHAT !!!!! The score turned out to be 2-2.
Yep Maple Leafs scored 2 times when I was on the phone >:
Thought the Canucks had good energy & Maple Leafs looked kinda sluggish in the 1st & 2nd period.
But when a team has it 2-0 in the 3rd & the way the game was going thought the Canucks had this game in the bag. Going to have to watch the highlights to see those 2 Leaf goals.
( gee what a time to get a phone call from over seas )
Congrads to the Leafs & all Leaf fans ( Chris )
Honestly happy with the point but not happy that I missed at least 1/2 this game via distractions.
Now on with the show...no red wine yet.
EDIT IN: Chris & FA you guys posted while I was creating my post.
As mentioned Chris congrads on the win !
FA thanks for greetings !
Hey seeing Chris & FA make your views known & other guys Nova & Noah's Ark make my night extra special.

The day after & letting the dust settle down FA makes some hood points. Let's not give the Leafs any credit :)
Actually re watched the game in the am when I could concentrate. Just had to talk to too many people here & mostly on the phone.
Thought both teams played a very clean fought & good energy game. Both teams had good chances ,both goalies made good saves, but Markstrom does gives up juicy rebounds which does lead to trouble.
Canucks had chances to make it 3-0 near break away & shot from the slot, plus in OT a shot hit the post & crossbar ( or crossbar & post )
Actually it was a game that both teams could of won in regulation time. Thought TO would really dominate this game but the Canucks were rested & they skated hard,so Leafs played it smart & played the same style, good position hockey checking & trying to score.
Great game.
Leaf fans should be proud of their team. Hopefully the Canucks don't get lazy but keep playing hard.
Coaches need the team to know that they are the jockey & the players the horse.
If the horse runs hard the jockey does not need to hit the horse on the rump with the stick.

Leafs blows a 2 goal lead to lose 3-2 in overtime. The advisor is on the hunt for a goalie instead of ducks.

God is merciful & forgiving...full of grace.
But what happened here after they were ahead 2-0...is just plain unforgivable :)
Coach is going to be giving his team the ABCs during practise...we must learn from this( sports report )
Players more than likely will think ...that's hockey. They kept pressing & the puck went into the net. (3x) water under the bridge the players think thus they are focusing on the next game.
A pt is a pt.
-
Leafs lose again, this time to the lowly Ottawa Senators which lost last night 8-2. Leaf advisor is on the chopping block.

Well there's a chance.
A chance that a person wins when the marble is thrown in that turning wheel gambling game.
Slim chance in that game.
Wow great come back by the Canucks 2 pts.
Some Canucks play with heart day in & out. Reminds me of Cliff Ronning or Stan the Steamer or Andre Boudria Super Pest or Pavel Bure the Russian Rocket.
Canucks to win Stanley Cup is more of Blackjack odds. Better % than Leafs marble wheel game odds
Rollet game or whatever it is. 8)

Moving up the standings. Making the Canucks great again. ;)

That's the way Markstrom needs to play. He was more than acceptable. The Stars looked tired at the end, but 2 wins in a row is 2 wins in a row. It also helped that they did some serious checking instead of some serious getting out of the way. I'd like to see Biega get some more time on the ice because he plays with a bit of an edge and that's something that's been missing from the team for a few years.Liistened to a story about Toronto needing defensemen today and there was a pic of a Canucks jersey...... Gudbranson and Spicolli,um, Ericcson ;D. Seriously, somebody needs to tell Ericcson that his haircut looks like he styles it with an upright vacuum cleaner and a corn broom. You'd think at 6 million a year he might be able to spend a little at a barber shop.
-
Nova gee I missed this game. Canucks on a bit of a roll. Your right about the haircut. Looks untidy at best. Like just got out of the bed look.
Yep Markstrom is the #1 guy now. He just needed a boot in the butt by the coach.
Some guys do not play well unless they get ordered too.
-
What happened to the mighty Make Beliefs ? They must still be on their break as they lost their 4th straight. It would seem the team has tuned out their advisor.

FA did you notice when Chris posts on his Leafs on this site they get more wins.
But on the other hand since he has slowed his comments the Leafs have been in tail spin.
Tail spin = down down down...
And continuing on that idea as we Canuck supporters post our views here, the team has showed much much improvement.
Keep those posts flowing so the Canucks will get more W's
As the posts go, so does the team A) Leafs B) Canucks.
Oddly these are the only two teams that are affected by posts to this site. More posts more wins less posts less wins....
Simple as that. And it's totally scientific proven & logical ( BS ) theory.
-
Submarine Chris only surfaces when his team wins. :D Leafs are in a funk and what does the advisor do ? He goes fishing, plays badminton and hunt for ducks. SAD !

So SAD I'm teary eyed ;D
Maybe the Leafs & Chris are playing rope-A-dope. That trick Ali did to Foreman.
Ali let Foreman pound him on the ropes for a few rounds & George tired. Then Ali knocked him out or TKO. Leafs are losing a few games on purpose & as such other teams will take them lightly...then watch out. I always say advisors always have many tricks & feed crocs raw chicken with a long stick.
In other words do not trust a croc & do not trust tricky submarine Chris.
Then you sleep near crocs or tricky advisors only close one eye. ;D
-
The advisor should stick to something he knows a little about: badminton and duck hunting. I'm not sure of his fishing skills. He seems to get skunked often. ;D
-
Heard thru the grapevine Toronto was to use the rope a dope against Ottawa but Leafs won the game regardless. Ottawa goalie must of let in shots that should of been stopped.
Now all NHL teams are refocused they must be ready & play hard to defeat TO.
Vancouver Canucks should get told in the dressing room..."Boys go out there & have fun playing the game. Win or lose it's ok"
With no expectations & zero pressure to win the game they maybe would of beat the Oilers 10-4.
-
The advisor must have gone hunting or playing badminton. Meanwhile his team is continuing their death spiral as they lost another one. Is it 4 out of their last 5 games ?? Tough to be a Leaf fan ;D

Will the Canucks make the play offs?
Will the Leafs make the playoffs?
If so how far will they go????
Leafs in recent past have done well with high draft picks & it shows now.
Our guys Canucks are developing very well.
-
Leafs blow a tire in Boston. 4-1
Canucks play Tampa in a few minutes.
Predict a big W for the CANUCKS!!!! :)
They have all their horse power 8 cyl. engine & high test fuel. ( guys off injury reserve. )
No stopping them now.
-
Tampa plays a super game both ends of the ice. They do not give a team any room in their end. On guys like glue.
Got a stopper too.
Canucks lose. Boo.

Have to call a ball a ball & a strike a strike ...Leafs are a better team than the Canucks.
But are the Canucks playing with heart & effort in every game?
Maybe Maple Leafs have a better jockey ( coach. ) than our jockey ( coach ) ???
Oh no another Florida team playing the Canucks on Valentine's Day. Maybe do not bring your date to the Vancouver rink. Might spoil the date with a loss. Take the chance on the Canucks (???)
Luongo looks like he's not aged one bit. Less stress playing in Florida than in Vancouver. The poor guy had to stop 2-3 breakaways in a period. 40-45 shots a game when he was a Canuck.
Been so busy lately but will try to pop in here more often.
Not a good month for Tiger Williams. ::)
-
We'll see how the Make Beliefs do in the post season. Still saying they won't be hoisting the Cup this year. Another frustrating year for the advisor.
-
Leafs are winning a lot of games that maybe they should not of. Their stopper has the attitude: the puck stops here. Goalie is the last line of the D.
& the Canucks??? They do not have a good back up. Markstrom does not play well being in too many games. He should play two games & then have a good backup go in for the third game.
Markstrom just cannot handle the stress of being #1 position. He needs that break after two games it seems.
Teams that go far into the play offs always have an above average goalie.
Oh ya Leafs win.
Canucks lose to Panthers.
Win one lose three. Wow what a flop.
Maybe the Canucks should advertise in the classified section of the Sun newspaper.
Any good goalies or players out there? Apply with resume to Vancouver Canucks.
Valentine dates went south quick. Guys should of brought their date to a late night dentist & have a root canal. Boo ! Boo ! Boo !
-
Continue to rack up the points once again tonight. ;D ;D ;D
-
How many ducks did you rack up ? ;D
-
Racked up another point tonight. :D
-
Racked up another point tonight. :D
That sure is not the whole story.
Canucks leading 4-1 ...lose 5-4.
Avs scored on 90% on the power play. Unreal !
Our backup goalie honestly is the pits.
Get Bachman in there next game. Markstrom is injured.
Bachman plays the angles & you can sense he concentrates well. He had good reflexes. Wish they would give him a 5 game try. If he does well,let him be the #1 or in the lest have a 50/50 workload with Markstrom. Canuck fans are satisfied with baby food because they are the pits. Players do not have chemistry.
-
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh yes ...Canucks racked up another point. ;D
-
Leafs are getting a lot of points/wins.
Canucks are out of it in more ways than 1. Out of playoffs & only give effort in 1/4 games. 3 games they just try to make it look good. Possum. Gee they even spray water on their face from the water bottle. Fans will think it's sweat. Sneaky ah ! :o
Cheer on the great Canadian Leaf team. Even has the Maple Leaf symbol on jersey. Canadian flag.
All our sons command. ( like old version )
-
So SAD I'm teary eyed ;D

you think Babcock plays his team to lose???? Lou would roast him....you think players want to lose...it affects their next contract....this is not logical...its a muliti million dollar business...just my .02...I don't post here often...but I had to today...gl on the rebuild 'Nuks...sad to see the twins retire...but they had a good run!!

mojoman yes I believe your right. Good points. You challenged my ideas & ya know your right.
FA & Chris never will change their opinions even if they are wrong!!!!
They are bull headed stubborn as h_ _ _. That's why they hardly post anymore. They battled each other so viciously like two big bulls that they wore themselves out. Now they are like ostriches with heads in sand. ;D ;D ;D ( ::) )
Twins & gang were just one win away from the Stanley Cup in game 7 in Vancouver. Plus were up 2 games to zippo.
Three things that changed the series were Barrows is that his name? Traded to Ottawa Sens. In game two he was accused of biting a Boston player 's finger. Alex denied it. That gave the Bruins a reason to get rough house & play extra physical ( chip on their shoulder ) & the Canucks had no answer. In Boston Sedin was punched in the face 4-5 times with a glove before the face off & the ref called No Penalty!!!!!!
Plus Luongo stopped the puck & was laying on the crease area. A Bruin with his skates & stick pushed Luongo into the net with the puck. Ref counted it a goal !!!!!!
Canucks needed to give tic for tak. Bruins got physical with hits & stick work & Canucks should of nailed the bruin player in the boards if the opportunity presented itself. When sticked give it back.
NHL refs were so one sided in some games. Unreal.
-
Abs, I couldn't agree more with that post if I wrote it myself. The refs were disgustingly biased and lost any form or semblance of fair play or enforcement of the basic rules. It looked like they hired the refs from WWE. They were quite simply jobbed. I remember working downtown on the day of game 7 and you could just feel the undercurrent of trouble brewing.Mayor McSmoothie inviting the herds to come on down was just icing on the cake. But it was one heck of a roller coaster ride.

At 8pm tonight ( minutes away ) a SportsNet on the boob tube is having a Stanley Cup Playoffs rewind.
May 13 / 2013 Leafs leading 4-1 in the 3rd period looked like they would win the series 4 games to 3.
But......guess this shocking event will have the Leafs in 2018 to play a full 60 minute game.
Painful to watch for Leafs fans but it may be a good lesson to learn thus help them out in this present time.
Edit: the tv info says it's the Leafs/Boston 2013 but it's the Oilers vs Jets many moons ago. My guess 89 or 1990 ?????
-
Leaves got smoked again by Boston. Anderson surrendered 3 goals on his first 5 shots. No wonder the Leaf advisor is noticeable by his silence. ;)
-
yeah, I don't think Chris is taking this well ...

I see FA is in his play off form of knocking the Leafs. Ouch.
Well there may be a light in the darkness as the Leafs next games are at home.
Coach says that the Leafs have to relax more & not be so up tight.
Pres. GM & coach look anything but relaxed looking at their faces whenever the camera focuses on them.
What was that in game 1 ? cupcakes stirrer Boston player putting his face right up to Leafs neck area???????
Some Leaf guys said that it was hard to watch !!!!
On other games ...Knights vs Kings Super played games. Kings are physical but Knights just play their fast game the entire way. They are not fearful of the Kings. Quick has played great & near flawless goaltending. If he played average Vegas would have 5-6 goals per game & score one sided.
Tonight game is in LA. Should be a great game. Vegas goalie playing very well but looks shaky at times in stopping the puck. He makes the first save so his defense has been clearing the puck out of harms way.
Actually FA has mentioned how Chris has not supported his Leafs on this tread & maybe just maybe the Leafs have got wind of this fact & they feel the affects. Our advisor has nothing good to say about us Leafs. He no longer believes in us. A win just may get the wind back in their leaf sails.
-
If Chris is interested, I can book a tee off time with the Swedish twins ;D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1TRXOPL_vU
-
The music the twins swaying to the beat ...gotta love it !
Leafs better be better in game 3 & 4 or else they will be playing golf with the twins. ;D
LA tonight threw everything including the kitchen sink at Vegas but the Knights just keep playing hard.
LA seemed to get winded in the 3rd & knights scored 3 goals & got ahead 3-1. Then 3-2 in the late stages & time ran out. 3 games for Knights & zero got LA Kings.
Finally Quick let in 3 goals.
In the past I was not a fan of Fleury the goalie. With the Pens he would have many melt downs.
But with the Knights he is like radar making the first saves & his D is clearing away the rebounds.
Knights have 99% N American hard nose players & one European I believe.
Canucks & Leafs get some hard nose Canadian hockey players who play a 60 minute buzz saw game.
99% Canadian roster.
-
Leafs win !!! Toronto got their star players to change the tide in this one. From their forwards to goalie who made super stops. Boston out shot the Leafs. Leafs skated hard.
Now it's a series. Ducks are not doing so well against the Sharks.
Tomorrow Knights will try to sweep LA. Should be another great game. Hope Vegas up 3-0 in the series does not let up. Sometimes when teams are leading 3 games to zippo the 4 th game they come out with a poor effort. & then it 's 3-1 in games. Kinds like a team goes flat in the 4th game.
Even if LA wins make them work for the W.
Jets & Wild tomorrow as well. Honestly I'm cheering on Vegas because these guys play great hockey.
They just work so so hard & they take & give out hits.
They play skilled & clean hard nose hockey. If a team gets physical against them they return it.
