I know, I know, small consolation, but it'll do until the Leafs eliminate the Sens in the 2nd round (if the Sens make it that far... )

The battle of Ontario is heating up! GO LEAFS GO!




Anytime a known goon eggs on a non-fighter, that guy retaliates, and the goon goes after him, you will see at least a fine. The fact that it was after the game was out of reach -- WAY out of reach -- only leads to suspensions.

As for Tucker, he got what he deserved. Knowing his reputation, he probably lied that he was spat on to keep in Quinn's good books after he lost it. If you ask him, he plays hard within the rules. The video evidence says otherwise.

And Quinn with regards to the alleged spitting: "Imagine that, in our game?!?" Imagine submarining Mike Peca in our game. Imagine an endless array of cheap shots in our game. Imagine constant whining about the officiating in our game. I don't know how a warrior like Gary Roberts can look at some of his teammates without vomiting.

Kudos to Quinn for getting Nolan for McCauley, a good prospect and a pick -- essentially a bag of pucks. The Leafs have, as I see it, a 2-year window to make a run, as I see it, and they have improved their team at the same time as slapping the Flyers. Good job all around.

As for the meeting in the second round, I don't think it will happen. Don't they re-seed everything after each round? I always forget. I see the Flyers winning a classic series, a real war. I also see the Sens having trouble with Boston (It's like the Jays and Brewers -- I don't know why, but Boston gives them trouble), and then we'll see. It would be fun to have the Leafs and Sens meet to see who goes for the Cup....I'm getting fired up just thinking about it. GOD I LOVE THE PLAYOFFS!
