Seriously! I keep waiting for volcano Therrien to erupt any day now. The closest I saw came after the SO loss in Buffalo when they let a 2-goal lead slip away late in the third. Other than that, he's looked very calm and collected, even funny at times. Of course, going 8-0-3 in his last 11 helps. I still say he blows his stack at least once before the end of the season and once more in the playoffs.
Price got down on himself after letting in a couple of softies and when that happens, he starts brooding, plays too low or goes down on his knees too fast and gets beaten easily by high shots. For an example, look at the OT winner.
Sorry I missed the point. I kinda did that on purpose. I like reminding Leafs fans of that deal, especially now that we know who the Bruins selected with those high picks they got from dumping Kessel on you. The Irked One might have left the building, the impact of his worst trade remains.
Force of habit? Possible. With Phil, you never know.
In a normal season, late February/early March sounds a tad early, even for the Leafs. Though not by much. The late start and end this year probably means they'll go on life-support after Easter.
Seriously, don't you wish you had Hamilton and Seguin in your lineup right now? Phil going -6 in his last two games puts him at -1 overall. Sounds like he went back to working on his golf game again.
And forget that line about getting Prust from Montreal, especially for that cream puff.
Too bad the Irked One hasn't landed a new GM job yet. The Leafs could trade Kessel and his bloated contract to him for two firsts and a second.

Regardless, the only fact that matters this morning:
Montreal 4
Boston 3
And we get to do it again March 27 in Boston.
Apparently talentless people have some appeal to a certain crowd, one none of us can identify with or truly understand.
You heard of that tradition, haven't you? Engraving the names of the winners on the Cup? Sure you have.
