Leafs 4, Habs 2

Last night saw a marginally entertaining win for the Leafs, highlighted by a pair of Darcy Tucker goals, one of which even went past a goalie. In his post-game interview, Tucker reiterated his intention to enforce his no-trade clause, causing the dozen or so pro scouts at the game to pretend to be disappointed, then laugh hysterically before going back to watching Mats Sundin game film and fondling themselves.

Kyle Wellwood also scored for Toronto. Unfortunately, the act of high-fiving his teammates afterwards left him too exhausted to continue with the game. He's listed as day-to-day with "fat".

Carey Price started for the Habs, in accordance with the new league bylaw which states that every team must start their backup goalie against us. The loss ended Price's undefeated streak against Toronto, meaning the only goalie left who can guarantee a Leafs loss just by showing up is Andrew Raycroft.

Next up -- Detroit, in a game that will have a playoff atmosphere. Unfortunately, that's because it will be played at 3:00 on a weekend afternoon and nobody in the US will be watching. By the time the Leafs are ready for another playoff run, the NHL will probably be playing its post-season games at 4:00 a.m. to make Versus happy.

Wait a second... with Osgood and Hasek both playing as well as they are, does Detroit even have a backup goalie? Better get on that, Detroit.

    That's funny writing. Good job, man.

  2. Well Sean, after reading your lastest Nightmare Team blog, I've decided to read all your blogs from the beginning. Already, the Wellwood listed as day-to-day with "fat" is hillareous. This is going to make this summer pass by a little faster.

  3. I recently happened across Gary Bettman's PERSONAL GMAIL ACCOUNT, and wouldn't you know it - they totally _are_ scheduling 4:00am playoff games.
