Week 3 Pylon Goes To...Everyone! (Almost)

Well with the voting numbers in the hundreds (not really) I was surprised to see a 5-way tie for week 3 "pylon of the Week" so here they are as chosen by you...
McCabe, Stajan, Toskala, Gill and Kubina...which all but one (and you can guess) had me a little surprised...this group has an impressive +15 with 7 goals and 19 assists...but Take McCabe out and the line changes slightly...mostly in the +/-. +21 with 5 goals and 17 assists...so really who misses Bryan (other than Darcy Tucker)...Tucker had his PR to speak on behalf of him and she had the following to say:

LEAVE BRYAN ALONE!!!

Anyways, we'll see everyone in beautiful New Jersey tomorrow night...a few things to look forward to: 1) Bell's last game to serve in his suspension 2) McCabe is still out 3) Newly constructed Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey...Let's see some road wins (I'm not going to hold my breath though) And this weeks pylon voting has started so get your votes in...because unlike an American vote...these all get counted.

Game 13: Washington 7 vs Toronto Holy Shit You Suck...

Funny story...so yesterday I had Indian buffet for lunch and after work I had roughly 4 beers before the game...I got home took the dirtiest shit imaginable and guess what came out?...The Leafs defence...

Last night Toronto got romped 7-1 by the Capitals in a game that saw 5 Capital players score their first goals of the season and one Capital score his first career goal in the NHL (Toronto seems to be good at making those dreams come true for opposing players) and Alexander Ovechkin threw two in to add insult to injury. The Leafs have now allowed 51 goals this season...That's the most in the NHL for those of you who were wondering...

Wha Happen? Toronto put together 2 great games on the road last week and seemed to have gotten over the hurdle that is defence. But then they show back up at the ACC and it's like they took nothing away from the two road wins...I just don't understand.

"Hey Kubina, You're having enough problems playing defence as it is...let's not put too much on our plates and try to play forward too". Pavel Kubina was jumping into every single rush last night and he was getting caught deep in the offensive zone quite often. You piss me off Pavel...you have my pylon vote this week...I dont care if you scored in New York

Halloween costume of the evening goes to Andrew Raycroft for looking exactly like Vesa Toskala and sneaking in net to let in the first 4 goals of the game (it's the only way he's going to get any playing time) And runner up for second best costume goes to Vesa Toskala for looking (and playing) exactly Like Raycroft and letting in the final 3 goals...good job guys!

Thankfully for Leafs fans the Blue and White are on the road for the next 4 games. Hopefully they'll leave this play here at the ACC and pick up the play they had in Pittsburgh and New York again. If anyone is happy about Toronto's bed shitting extravaganza last night it would be Tucker and McCabe...I bet they were starting to get worried that they might of been healthy scratches when they got back...I'm relieved knowing that that wont happen (sarcasm). Toronto's next opponent is the Devils at their flashy new building "The Prudential Center" Hopefully New Jersey starts their back up against the Leafs and we start someone who can actually stop a puck...maybe I'm wishing for too much.
