The first time our club will get to hear the boos.

Every Canada team versus US team match up, especially in Canada, now testifies to how easily a single idiot can create a divisiveness between people that never needed to exist.

Exactly. No matter where one stands politically, talk of annexing a sovereign nation or crippling it economically is pretty dumb.

If the game were here, maybe. But I can't imagine they will be booed in Seattle

Oh. I figured since it feels like we’ve been at home for a month that this one was away.

Oh course, if Washington state would like to become Canada's eleventh province, I'm sure we could rustle up some booers on short notice.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Roxy, Cassie, and Blake, I guess.

Sportsnet isn't carrying the game tonight. As my two year old grandson has been saying since Christmas, "bah, humbug." Go Kraken. Win by five goals.

Crisis averted. It's on my other sports outlet, TSN.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Good call there.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

As a goalie, there's nothing I love more than having a teammate penalty an opposing forward on top of me.

 

[kihei]

That was a pretty good power play for a change. But still, no joy.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Dang. This power play is legit scary.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Couple of times Daccord was on an island, but we killed it off somehow.

 

[kihei]

We kill a dangerous power play. The Leafs first power play had five forwards on it; all-your-eggs-in-one-basket approach but pretty scary.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Well that's unfortunate.

 

[kihei]

Joes just plain missed that one, to Myers of all people who I didn't even realize was in the league.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Well that's unfortunate.

Story of the season.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Joes just plain missed that one, to Myers of all people who I didn't even realize was in the league.

It hit Matty about twenty feet out.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Now that''s more like what I expect from Myers.

 

[Toomany7pins]

Seems like Seattle can never score first, always chasing.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Holy wow.

 

[kihei]

Another power play and so far, man, do we look like amateurs.

 

[kihei]

Joey really needs to hold the fort here. We're collectively not playing well; if the Leafs get a two-goal lead we may not recover.

 

[kihei]

This period has been a collection of ultra-sloppy miscues and misguided plays. It's almost like they never have met the coaches, let alone follow a strategy.

....and now we have to kill a four-minute penalty.
