I wore my leafs jersey out, after this game, an old dude, who happened to be a wings fan, came up to me, and said "hahah, you're jersey sucks" I replied, "OH, WHO WON? ...yeah, that's right" he walked away. (:
the leafs record is only as bad as it is because we started the year with toskala, who has never really proved himself to be starting goalie material at any point in his career. i love tosky but he'll make for a good backup. ontop of that we were without one of the better forwards you can find in the league. those missed points in the first 10 or so games may come back to haunt us, but at the same time with the team we have now we are only a few wins from being back in the mix. Not so bad
No...the leafs start was due to shitty defense and pk. They played horrible in front of Toskala. Then got yelled at and played well in front of a rookie. Which is what Gustavsson is...a rookie. Toskala has put up #1 goalie numbers, and has way more nhl experience, he is still the leafs best goalie and with the team playing ok, they need to get him back in there. The rookie wont be able to carry the load. Toskala can.
Toskala has never "put up #1 goalie numbers"....he played well for 2 weeks w/ the Sharks and has had 0 consistency since he came to Toronto. He has never been able to make the big save at the crucial time in a game, and his glove hand is...well, non-existent.
The Leafs season and any possible success they may have rests solely on Gustavsson...he is now our #1 goalie....you should accept this.
I'm pretty sure the Leafs are 27th, not sure. Haha, getting better. I just LOVED that standing ovation at the end. TSN put it perfectly, Kessel and Gustavsson are giving this team some swagger.
Fun fact: With the win, the Leafs broke the tie in their all-time record vs. Detroit.
Your videos are funnier when the Leafs lose.. Therefore, I'm going to be pulling against them from now on. Nothing personal; I just need my entertainment.
I have to say, as I Red Wings fan who was at the game. Gustavsson should not have been the player of the game. Chris Osgood was clearly the Leafs best player. Ugh, its going to be a long season for us Wings fans, Toskala available?
lol yeah as a Leafs fan i have to say the Wings are an excellent team but when Osgood is in net the game can go either way, mostly the oppositions way
I'd prefer to keep Cleary but how about we give you Todd 'Slower then hell' Bertuzzi AND Chris 'Ishould have retired three years ago' Osgood. C'mon, you can't lose.
Well I can tell by the start of you're argument you clearly must be of the high intelligence section of hockey fans. I love Ozzy but even when we won the Cup in '08 he had to do very little. I could of played goalie and they still would have won a cup with a defense like they had then. Detroit gave up the least amount of shots per game in the NHL so its not like he had to do very much. Even the quality of shots was below average. If we had the Monster in net this year our record would be better
I am happy with the way the team is playing now and it's a good sign that we're coming out of this but we still have a lot of work to do to get at the level we should have expected by now. Toskala has had to battle back from surgery and a knee injury to go along with the pressure to perform with the way Gustavsson has played in net for the Leafs. Schenn hasn't played well this year but last night he played really well.
ye 2 wins in a row leafs looked amaazing last night since komisarek is out whos gonna take his spot on tuesday?? theres KAberle,beauchimin,shenn,finger,white oh yaa exelby.. GO LEAFS GO!! GUSTAVSSON IS THE MAN
Hmm. I live in Brandon, where Brayden Schenn plays, and I get to as many Wheat Kings games as I can before he heads over to play with LA. So far this season he's played 17 games, has 24 points and has a +/- of 11.
Don't get me wrong, Luke is a gem for this team, but I think Brayden is going to have a more .. I don't know if successful is the right word to use, but a more 'successful' career.
Uh, wow. I enjoyed that game a whole lot. Still, seems to me that the Leafs aren't done improving if they want to be taken seriously. It's absurd to think the leafs are going to get anywhere near the playoffs by riding the back of a few individuals (maybe five) all season long. Stajan needs to play better for one, Schenn seems to finally be coming to life, and Johnny Mitchell seems to have turned things around. You know who's playing good this year and we all forget it? Jason Blake. Just sayin'.
WHY!?!? Because Kessel & Ian white bring that fire power to the ice and Ian white has been on top of his game every fucking night . Kessell is inputting w.e he was brought here for. As Kaberle's case, hes a veteran player, he can be the locker room motivation . Just my opinion let me know :D
The Wings have been doing this for the past 3 seasons. They see a struggling team on their schedule, think the "W" will magically fall into their record without providing effort, and they lose the game. Osgood has been letting by some weak ones this season...
I, unlike many leaf fans was never a fan of Luke Schenn i just couldn't get excited about a defender that only scored 15 points in a season, I know he is a shut down guy but even there he isn't that great, he dosen't have a great shot and this year his shut down skills have got worse, and he has been sloppy with the penalties i do honestly hope he can turn it around but if he dosen't there is gonna be alot of disappointment.
while i dont agree that he will, it would really have made a trade for a top 3 pick this year [2009] look like a good idea in hindsight if schenn does flop.
it wouldn't have been tavares and i don't care much for hedman, but i think matt duchene would look quite spiffy in a blue and white jersey
the big problem with the Leafs D is you have 4 guys that thrive on big minutes (schenn, Komi, bosh and Kabbi) Only Kabby is better with less time. through in the fact white deserves more ice time. and you have guys trying to do to much with the time they get.
Gustavson is the main reason we keep winning and getting points in consecutive games, whereas with Toskalol you need to score 20 goals just to win in overtime, Gustavson DEVOURS THE SOULS OF FORWARDS and provides monster (pun fully intended) goaltending. btw, White for Captain
The Leafs 2 game win streak is nice... but would anyone think I am crazy to say that this was no FLUKE!!!!
This team is playing better systems, and when they falter, Gustavson is there to bail them out. Jonas even said it himself, it takes time to get used to playing with his Dmen, and even the Dmen have to get used to playing on a new team. (i.e. Bauchemin and Komasarik).
In the case of the Dmen, more IS LESS. They need to look after their own end, and stop getting caught up the ice.
Burke and Wilson are right that it is an honour to be asked to be the captain of TML.I dont think it belongs to a newcomer, who hasn't put years into the team.I think it should be Kaberle without a doubt. Hes got the credentials:
-All Star D-man, one of the best puck movers
-Hes only ever been a Leaf, for 10 or 11 years now
-He has been wearing the "A" for a long time, since the playoff days.
I think he doesn't have it now because he is too valuable of a chip to trade if we suck all year.
Holy shit your funny!!! Williams, i think ended up breaking his ankle (thats what i heard on tv). Schenn is getting off to a rocky start but he is slowly getting better. Hopefullt he gets his butt in gear soon.
Good video as always steve, did your mom throw the jersey in your face? Anyways solid effort from the Leafs last night, I think that they have confidence in Gustavson, and thats something they havent had in Toskala in some time. So now the leafs realize they can be competitive against any team. Its still early to talk playoffs. the leafs really dug themselves a hole with the start they had. However they keep scraping wins together and playing like a team and I see them the post season.
Well it also helped the Leafs that Osgood can't save a shot to save his life, I am really shocked you beat the Wings (my fav team) I thought it was going to be a beatdown but Osgood once again proved me wrong and Gustavsson was amazing.
They all had to learn how to play as a TEAM.....I think they got that down now. They seem to have a buddy system exhibiting positive controll over the game. And, they'll keep holding on to that.
i think both teams looked bad last night, leafs had so many give aways and the wins looked tired. If the goaltenders where switched it would have been a different result, but that could have been said for every leafs game. So ya good vid
Nice video as always Steve. Loved the beginning. However, it was the wrong Williams. I think you meant Jason....lol. Everyone makes that mistake though. Entertaining as always.
just thought i'd say this ;

1) Luke and Brayden were drafted in differnet years so why would you want one over the other ?
2) One is a defenceman the other is a forward cant really compare the 2
3) Brayden has admitted that Luke is way more powerful then him strength wise so ha
4) Kadri is the guy we drafted instead of Brayden and he has way more offensive upside which is what this team lacks especially in their prospects.

Brayden Schenn was drafted before Kadri though...and Burke wanted Schenn...so really you have no argument.
