For some reason I am interested in watching this game tonight. I want to see Bob bounce back from the mess he left on Saturday. And Toronto is a decent team with speed and a responsible game plan. There is no distractions to this match up just hockey.

I doubt you’ll see many fireworks tonight. Toronto has moved their roster into the new NHL direction. They are a pretty decent team and Reimer can send the Flyers into as much frustration as Nabakov. That said I am always ready for a blood bath.

No questions about Toronto’s magic turnaround from epically historically terrible PK Sv% to perfect PK over the last month or so?

DISCLAIMER: Information written above may not be entirely factual nor provable with the use of complex statistics. But it may induce thought, humor and possibly laughter.
The numbahs:
In 2011, the Leaves were 87/128 (72.3%) on the PK, with Reimer giving up 22 goals on 96 shots (77.1% Sv%).
In 2012, the Leaves haven’t given up a PK goal yet, and Reimer is 10/10.
Let’s party like it’s 2011.

1. That really is absurd. Also, only 10 shots against on the PK? That’s nuts.
2. Leaves or Leafs?
by everybodyhitswoohoo on Feb 9, 2012 5:31 PM EST up reply actions
Reimer’s only played four games in 2012, and a big part of why the Leaves’ PK is perfect is that they’ve been shorthanded very few times.
And trying to explain why I say Leaves is hard. I mean, “Leafs” is stupid, so I should be calling them Leafs to mock them, but since they call themselves that, instead I have to call them Leaves so people will notice that Leafs is stupid? Augh.

On TSA.ca, under transactions for today, is this announcement:
Philadelphia Recalled goaltender Jason Bacashihua from Adirondack (AHL).
What is this about? Is he on the bench tonight? Is Bobs or Bryz injured?

I’ve always failed to see the fascination with those shirts.
So basically someone ripped off the “ill” part from the Phillies and plastered it on T-shirts, basically making profits off someone elses design?
Am I missing something? Any lawyers/law students wanna clear this up for me?

Oh, I get that part, I usually use those shirts to point out the douchebags.
What I don’t get is, how is said person getting away with creating those shirts without any repercussions from the Philles and MLB? There’s gotta be some sort of copyright infringement going on, even if it is just part of it.

My assumption is that it’s about the mandate that the insurance policies of religious schools and hospitals have to cover birth control for their employees, which the Catholic Church has been protesting. But it wasn’t quite clear; it could also have been about the court’s decision to strike down California’s ban on gay marriage, or perhaps something else.

i thought he was arguing more along the lines of government legislating something against religious teaching, which we all know is covered by “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” his argument at least in my understanding is they cant exercise their religion because a certain part can’t be included.
my question is what happens if the catholic church does wha they have threatened and shuts down all hospitals etc that they manage?
this post is in no way agreeing with nor disagreeing with anything political

It’s also nice to come home from a long day of working to see that everything is just the way it was yesterday……….

At some point during this game I will have to turn it off and read some more Game of Thrones. And then there’s Jersey Shore later

Ah awesome. Good luck. It’s a long, painful, cold, ugly, hurtful road with very few bright spots. In other words- AWESOME.

Out of sheer curiosity any particular reason for disliking Phaneuf?

Hartnell said that during the All Star game. It was caught since he was mic’d up. It’s become a thing.

I remember that. I was just wondering if it was only that or more. The Jets fans were booing Phaneuf and Kessel the other night every time they touched the puck for no particular reason

Seeing as I’m 99% sure that’s what Hartnell said after he tapped Phaneuf, I think his should win.
Keeping alive the old Vaudeville joke, "I'd rather be dead than play Philadelphia."
I can totally picture Scott Hartnell referring to himself in the 3rd person.

Nice way to get 2/3 of the Gordie Howe hat trick out of the way.

Great way to Fight Phaneuf just hold on so he can’t hit you.
I wasn't even a year old but I stayed up to be outside the Vet with my Dad and Mom when the Phillies won the World Series 1980.
I mean him he just bear huged Harts.

Who’s “Suck it, Phaneuf?” will win COTN?

Leave it to Hartnell to make someone carry a grudge from the All-Star Game.

Id bet $1000 Hartnell said, “Suck it, Phaneuf” to start the fight.
If hockey gets me aroused, then I don't want to be right.
Yeah, I’m almost certain this happened.

Wasting Couturier… Wednesday Addams’ mock french emo bandcamp name but of course that means it could also be Cooter Corspe. Or possibly Cooter Cadaver.

Hartsy goal.
Hartsy and Phaneuf had words.
Hartsy (we’re pretty sure) tell Phaneuf, again, to suck it.

I’d love to see these two teams start to genuinely hate each other. Make the games very interesting
by ShahofToronto on Feb 9, 2012 7:52 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah I have no particular hate for the Flyers. I enjoyed the little playoff rivalry we had going on in the early 2000s, even though we got beat every time.

I’ll always have a spot in my heart for the Leafs as they were the first team I followed in hockey.
