Game 9: Hurricanes @ Leafs 7:00PM Monday on SportsNet

[Bill_Berg]

Ok, gang, here's the real question. Once we all quit being Leafs fans out of shame, this domain name still has value as a meeting place for us all. So, what should the new TMLfans be in reference to? Wikipedia gives us some helpful suggestions

TML Entertainment, which was apparently a rock record label started by the band Triumph?

TransManche Link, the construction consortium that built the Chunnel?

The Taiwan Major League? A defunct professional baseball outfit?

How about it stays a Leafs site, but it's Tool Maple Leafs fans, cause we're tools for thinking things are going to get better?

Clearly it should be a reference to Walter Kent's romantic masterpiece "Too Much in Love".  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-HYOpmJs_w

I don't know. The Taiwan Major League is growing on me.

Go Taipei Gida!

Someone said it earlier. Why not play Kessel with Kadri and Frattin on the top line?
Kadri does in 30 seconds of PP time more than Bozak does it 5 minutes. And, Frattin is our hottest hand but doesn't even get a sniff on the PP. What's up with that?
Lines for next game.

Frattin Kadri Kessel
JVR Grabo MacArthur
Komarov Bozak Kulemin
McClement Acton Hamilton (Let's shake it up and get some guys in there who compete) The fourth line tonight was brutal, hemmed in their own zone constantly.

 

[Bill_Berg]

Maybe they were just cocky tonight after losing to the Bruins by only one goal?

 

[TML fan]

I didn't think it was possible to dislike a coach more than Ron Wilson.

Then along came Randy Carlyle...

Carlyle reacting quickly and mixing up the lines after we're down 4-1

Mmmm that's some good coaching.

 

[PG]

Holzer has been awful tonight.

If this keeps up he might have to pull out all the stops and change it up on the PP! :O

 

[L K]

Let's get more Tyler Bozak on the PP now.

 

[lamajama]

One min left and Carlyle still goes with useless first unit

 

[PG]

Watching the Kostka-Phaneuf pairing on the PP is actually comical now.

 

[pnjunction]

can we please never see this PP line again?  IT'S NOT WORKING RANDY

 

[Bill_Berg]

If we played every game 5 on 4, I think we might make the playoffs, although it would probably be a first round exit.

 

[lamajama]

Holzer has been awful tonight.

??? Burke said he was ready??? 

 

[sampson]

Randy gives Kadri 10 seconds at the end of the game on the PP and he does more with it than the 1st line did all game..  ARE YOU BLIND?!

 

[L K]

Kostka...the Leafs best powerplay killer.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Lucky me, I'm working tomorrow night and will miss the Washington game. Somebody be sure to make beary comments for me?

Like, "this team is un-BEAR-able"? 

 

[Bill_Berg]

Wait, don't worry, Kessel is doing all the right things, and when he starts scoring, they'll come in bunches.
