Fred.. you'd think you would have learned a lesson from the Olympics. Ovechkin and Malkin alone don't make a great team. Certainly not a Stanely Cup winner. With very weak goaltending these guys won't make it past the 2nd round

Fred, I thought Montreal wouldn't make the playoffs and your beloved Laughs ( oops i mean Leaves) would. I suspect Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin will outperform Phil Kessel as well. The're going to be beauty's eh! How could you root for such an awful organization. If i remember correctly you predicted the Leafs would make the playoffs and the Habs wouldn't. Guess you were wrong again.... for the 5th straight year.

Steve-O anything you wrote after "Leaves" has no credibility.

Actually, I predicted the Leafs would finish ahead of them in the standings, not make the playoffs.

I was wrong. I admit it. And I wroter about it not long ago.

Fred im with on this one.
Lets hope the Caps put down the Habs in round one,but take it a step further and we see the Caps go down in round two!
Ovi is too cocky to win the cup this early in his carrer!

Go Canucks!?

Montreal 39-33-10 88pts 19th o/a
Toronto 30-38-14 74pts 29th o/a

Leafs Playoff berths last 5 years: 0
Habs : 4

Leafs Playoff berths last 10 years: 5
Habs: 7

Leafs Cups since '80: 0
Habs; 2

Leafs Cups since '70: 0
Habs: 8

Last Leaf to win NHL MVP: Ted Kennedy, 1955 (one of only two times)
Habs: Theodore, 2002 (one of 15)

Last time Habs traded away a 2nd o/a pick: never

No doubt the Habs will lose to a great Washington team - but they'll pocket two nights of playoff revenue and gain valuable experience for their young players.

The last time the Leafs had a home playoff game, I was still living in Canada, you were doing a morning show and Phil Kessel was 17.

Laugh at whatever you want but, right now, the Leafs will always be the punch line to the joke. they've been a comedy team longer than Wayne and Schuster were.

You finish first you should get the easier ride. I feel for the team who has to face Detroit.

Freddie,

Your Leafs didn't make the playoffs (again) so ALL you have is to pick on the Habs? Sad.

Also, I'll give Steve-O the benefit of the doubt and believe that he spelled "Leaves" on purpose.

Go Habs Go!

Romy - not only are you a socialist, you are a Habs fan too? Thats the worst combination out there! lol

Gah! I think I just agreed with Romy. I must have a fever!


Freddie P.
April 15, 2010 / 14:19

Funny.. but I don't recall making any of this about the Leafs. It's all about Montreal and Washington, and I hope Washington crushes them.
Not so much for the Caps, but very much for Hab fans.


Murph
April 15, 2010 / 14:27

Pam dont be fooled. I think Fred's point is we know the Leafs are a mess, but The Canadians (thats for you Steve-O) are not much better.

Montreal has been a mess too, and have not been the team of glory since the 70's. Sure they won in 86, and Roy stole one in 92. But numbers dont lie, the Habs have not been much different than the Leafs over the past 20 years. Glory days are gone.

The Leafs have not made the playoffs in 6+ seasons yet their win totals are about the same!

Past 10 Years:
Montreal 346 wins
Toronto 350 wins

Past 20 Years:
Montreal 708 wins
Toronto 695 wins

Montreal will never be the glory franchise ever again, and time will fade their great years from memory pretty soon. Go Washington!

Hey Romy, can I play the stats game too? Yours seem pretty selective, so indulge me in mine:

Playoff Record Past 10 Years:
Toronto
GP: 51 W:26 L:25 Win %: .509

Montreal
GP: 45 W:17 L:28 Win %: .377

Cups Won Past 10 Years:
Toronto: 0
Montreal: 0

What do ya think?

Screw the Leafs AND the Habs... Go RAPTORS, GO!! Huh? Oh, never mind.

@Murph

Naw, just a socialist. No worries there! Not really a fan of any team, honestly. Just love the game.

@Pam

Jeez. Maybe I'd better change my opinion. if you and I are agreeing ... well, no fun in that, is there?

@El Torpedo

To quote FDR (I believe): "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn lies and Statistics."

I agree. Easy to be selective, but the most relevant stat is that the Leafs finished second-last in a 30 team league, traded away a second o/a pick and haven't played a post season game in five years. The Habs finished 19th and made the playoffs. There are (if you want to use the standings) 18 teams better than the Habs. There are 28 better than the Leafs and the real shame is they have absolutely nothing to show for that abysmal finish. The league has a system (the draft) in place to help weak teams get stronger. That system (very socialist, by the way LOL) has worked (twice) for Pittsburgh and also, over the years, for Tampa and San Jose. Trading that pick was, IMHO, a really short-sited move.


EL Torpedo
April 16, 2010 / 08:34

@Romy - the League has nothing to offer mediocre teams though, which is what the Habs have been for 10+ years, and will be for the next 5 (at least).
Oh, and any good Englishman should know it was Charles Wentworth Dilke who came up with the lies/stats quote.

Romy is my new best friend. Face it die-hard Leafs fans, no matter how much you try to bring other teams down, you are the losers.

I think Burke really thought this team would make the playoffs, so the pick would be 10th overall at best. He just made a dumb prediction, and it cost him big.

Oh, and don't forget next year's first-rounder too...shouldn't be too shabby either.


After Game One....

Montreal 1
Washingon 0

They bring others down because they are the most insecure hockey fans in the league. Because well, they are a disaster of an organization. Junk.

All women, no matter what age you need a big sack. There are many different styles, colors and brands to choose from. It is difficult to decide what is best for justice to all your needs of daily life. Sometimes, a woman, if you buy Excellent Replica Handbags , after a while, and I do not know how it looks. You can do this by buying a Gucci bag and never want to avoid changing your look. Get a bag of Gucci wardrobe of a woman would be a big improvement and you feel good about the way she looks.
