anyone watch tonights game (Thursday). Man, whats with the Leafs?! they lost to the worst team in the league (or close to)...

first period, 4 F#$KING FIGHTS! Common guys, they are just self destructing out there.

maan the trade is a good trade though. Owen Nolen, nice.

They're just venting their frustration the only way they can. Guys like Tucker have cried wolf for far too long, and they have nobody left to cry to. The refs are sick of it, and the league is sick of it. Give them a couple of games to let the lineup changes take effect and we should be back on track. (And I'm not ragging on Tucker, that's just the way he plays. You take the good with the bad.)

Yes, Domi has been a repeat offender in the league, but he didn't even drop his gloves. Do you really think he's dumb enough to drop 'em with Arvedson? He just pushed him around a little to let him know he felt the stick. I guarantee Arvedson won't try doing it again.

Since this entire scrum was under the scrutiny of the league, why wasn't Alfredsson repremanded for attempting to stick Domi while the scrum was happening? Oh, I forgot, Alfredsson is a "nice guy", Mr. Lady Bing, and would never try to swing his stick menacingly at another player! What was I thinking?!

The Leafs have never done well against Ottawa in the regular season, but it's the post-season that counts. I'm sure Ottawa will be golfing long before the Leafs again this year.

And I'm sad to see McCauley go - he's been a dedicated Leaf for a few years now, and can turn it up in the playoffs when needed. San Jose has got one hell of a player there. That said, I think Toronto got the better deal for the immediate future, which is what we're finally concerned with. Nice for a change! Nolan will only add to our grit and skill, and other teams are going to take a beating against us in the playoffs!
