Boffa Jones Veteran Posted March 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) as much as experience matters (not being sarcastic), how long have the leafs been around? and when was their last cup? Im not trying to flame and i wont even attempt to argue any counterpoint as i am 100% noob in hockey other than actually playing the sport myself. And also toronto is probably regret not picking up a backup goalie. EDIT: Didanyone see or read about what Don CHerry said about THe bertuzzi thing? I love don cherry.

CatnipOligarchy Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 Atlanta with the 1-0 victory over Carolina in OT.

The leafs came back from a 4 goal deficit to beat Buffalo in overtime. Mogilny got his 1,000th point (and 1,001 I think too).

BMac Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Did Toronto? They got farther than them for sure. Distance means nothing. It's the end result that everyone remembers. And guess what, they lost. Granted my Leafs lose to but I'm fine with that. We have a young defense core that lacks experience. So yes we lost too. :p P.S. I'm not trying to argue with you guys I'm just trying to point out that experience matters.

BMac Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Toronto has not been a good playoff team these past few years.. *Remembers the series with them and the devils* For sure Toronto has not been stellar in the playoffs. I'm not going to argue that. All I can say is losing to a team like NJ, a champion, ain't so bad. I'm still hoping that this year will be it for us.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted March 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2004 If belfour gets hurt they are ******, it blows my mind that they went without gettin a new backup. What does everyone think of edmontons chances of making it this year?

CatnipOligarchy Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 What does everyone think of edmontons chances of making it this year? only 2 points back, its quite possible. and one of those games is against st louis, the current 7 seed, only 3 points ahead, on march 30.

You can't justify them losing based on their lack of experience.

You can't justify them losing based on their lack of experience. But yet I can. Our young defensive core tends to choke. :p @ Boffa: Yes I agree we should have snagged a backup. Also I think the chances of Edmonton making it are quite good. They've won some key games and are picking it up at the most important time.

axis Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Leetch is all the defense they need, they just need to play like they want it. The Leafs should have gone after Martin Gerber from Anaheim, he is solid. I heard they wanted him but I am sure Anaheim wanted to much for him.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 23, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 23, 2004 I don't think that that was fair...(for Bleak) :crazy: While I don't think that it was an attempt to injure, I do think you need to be more careful with your stick than that. The suspension does seem a bit extreme compared to the Moose's two games for an intentional spearing. I guess they want to give him the chance to retire without dishonour.

bayrider Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i think Belak took advantage of a fall to swing his stick... i know what its like cause i used to play hockey but the way he swung that stick was more than just a balancing measure i dont think he meant to get vaannanen in the face though, probably tried to give him a chop on the stick or hands Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/120925-neowins-nhl-discussion-thread/page/23/#findComment-1880223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
