Holy cow! I just read this in the Sun on line. http://www.torontosun.com/2014/03/18/maple-leafs-take-on-red-wings-in-detroit Just about the only shining light for the Leafs are their goaltenders that have carried this sad sack team on their backs and this is the thanks you get? Reimer stood on his head for a couple of spectacular stops. He single handedly kept the Loafs close. That is ALL you'd what from a quality net minder. What a joke. And you wonder why we don't like them? No wonder they're called the Laffs. Bruins have won 10 straight......just saying......muddler

Beaten by a bunch of AHL kids and an old man. Go Alfieeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yup, all the way to the cup! The ladies that play for the Laffs jest ain't got it! Muddler

I owe Muskymatt a beer. Took the words right out of my mouth. Wow!

On a wing and a prayer. When the goaltenders are consistently hammered with so many shots per game, it is just a matter of time that they get hurt. On to the next one. Yup any positive blip in the win column and the Laff's fans dust off the floats for the parade. It will be a short playoff with so many one dimensional players . Keep hoping and keep jumping on the band wagon. It makes it that much nicer when the Loafs fall out. If you look back to the Olympic men's hockey teams. How well did Miss Kessel(don't touch or I'll pass or shoot) do against Canada. Oh, sorry, he was on fire! I forgot. What kind of medal did the Americans come away with? Oh yeah, a roll of tape. Gimme a break, Laffs are playing their playoff hockey now. When the real show starts, so will the rest of their opponents. The way to get to Miss Kessel is to hide his toque or knock off his helmet. He's so worried that someone might notice his receding hairline that he can't concentrate on anything less. Amazingly Miss Dion didn't score on her own goal last night, Same old Laffs, same old blah,blah. Keep hoping guys, there's always next year! muddler

Awwwwwwwwwwww

Laff fans

Lemme see. Defense is a 5 man effort. Anybody can play defense. My local ex-Bruin , Al Secord proved that. Don Cherry said , "the nose picker at the blue line" or as the Laffs fans call them , "skill players" don't check or do anything but skate around and wait for the other 4 players to get them the puck so that they can wow the fans with their scoring skills. And you wonder why the the Loafs get out shot, easy? They are short handed all the time in their own end with their skill players out there. Look at the Canadian Olympic team. super stars like Cosby played both ways. Yup we didn't have anyone win the scoring race but who got the gold? I have a ton of respect for Cosby now after what he did in Sochi. Lead by example not stats. Watch just 81. loafing around the blue line hoping to stick check a pass to the defense so he can wow them all with skating and shooting. Watch that same player in the offensive zone when the opposing team gets the puck back as he lazily skates up the ice. "one dimensional" is a phrase used often to describe this. Light a fire under some of these Laffs players and have them back check and work with the defense and the shots on goal will equalize. The wins will increase. "The little ball of H3LL" aka Brad Marchand is a typical grind it out player and he scores too. He'll win ya a bunch of games on sheer defensive effort. That's why I've been a Bruins fan for well over 55 years. If you don't play defensive hockey when the other team has the puck, the organization will get rid of you (PK) and sent you to Toronto. Keep looking for a better d-man. As long as the skill players loaf around the blue line waiting for the other 4 teammates to get him the puck, the Laffs ain't going nowhere. It won't matter who the Laffs get until everybody plays both ways. muddler

And for the ladies.

As i get older I don't get too picky. This one will do.

As a teenager we would walk out on the booms that held the logs in place across the Spanish river. One day we were fishing a large field if sunken logs that didn't make it to the mill. We would catch pike on every cast. I bet my buddy that I could catch a pike on the cigar he was smoking. I won. muddler

What Olympics were watching? Last time I checked it was a team game. Seems to have worked real good so far. Muddler

What a wonderful thing to do for both of them. Great story. muddler

Yes, yes, yes. Just fantastic. Gotta go and change underwear! muddler

Canada 2 Latvia 1 'nuf said!

Now you got!

What game were you watching? 55-15 shots. Out played them completely. One super hot goaltender for Latvia kept it close , that's it. A missed penalty shot. Wow! Like said 1-0 or 20-0 A WIN IS A WIN. We are the ONLY undefeated team there. And we sucked. Well done Canada Muddler

It doesn't matter if you win 20-19, 10-0 or 1-0. I haven't seen the other teams do anything great on the scoreboard against us. We are getting a lot of excellent chances to score. You can't ask for more than that. And you can't will the puck into the net. One super hot goal tender in one game could change things. That happens in this type of tournament. Remember that the opposing team are very aware of Cosby and what he is capable of doing. When there best defensive players are used to work against Cosby the rest of Canada's lines up can face lesser defensive players. I am impressed with Canada's toughness and talent. This is a superior team compared to the rest of the field. Bring it on!

We have size, speed and offensive talent. We are jelling at just the right time. No major injuries and a team hungry for gold. Go Canada go!

Great game for Canada. Played like champions. Just Awesome.

Each of you make a list privately. The list has three columns. 1. Must have 2. Like to have 3. Cannot have Then sit down with both lists and copy all the things that are the same on both lists in the tree columns. Draw a horizontal line and copy down all the differences that are on the two original lists under the same three columns. You may be surprised how little the two of you are apart. The last thing to do is to discuss a compromise of the items below the line. Ask yourself that famous question, "How is this going to change my life 5 years, 10 years 20 years from now?" If the answer is, "Not much", then give in , if the answer is, "I just can't do that", then you'll have to work to convince her to go that route. Ask her to do the same. Put the lists away for a week or two and look at them again. You may be surprised by both your changes of "needs" in a house. I found that when you put things in black and white on paper a lot of the arguing disappears and a lot of common sense filters back in. Just my one and a half cents. muddler

Don't worry. The Laffs will bounce back. Muddler
