I'll go with the mapleleafs.com PS2 perdictions and say 6-2 Leafs

Nolan (3), Domi, Renberg, Mogilny
(Sundin 3 assists)

McCauley (2)

Sharks 3
Leafs 2
Goals by Marleau, Thornton, and Cheechoo
Leafs goals by Nolan and Kaberle

Laffs 3 Sharks 1
Toronto goals:
Mogilny(2), Stajan

San Jose goals:
Marleau

Davison will catch Tucker with his head down and take him out of the game.
Buster will receive a rousing cheer when he steps on the ice. Belfour will still be booed.

Leafs 3 Sharks 2.
I'm thinking that Nolan actually does score a goal. Nolan plays better when he's geared up.

Hello there! My prediction is 4-3 Leafs. It would be great to see them win on my birthday weekend(birthday's tomorrow).

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!! :handclap:

2-2 tie.

Goals from Nolan and Mogilny for the Leafs. Goals for the Sharks will come from Cheechoo and Sturm.

:cry:

I have to go to work early tonight. no game for me. Therefore, i'm going out on a limb..

sharks 4 - leafs 2

sharks - Sturm, Thorton, Damphousse, and Korky

leafs - Nolan, Mogliny

Anyone know if my boy is playing?

Sharks win 6-1. MCauley 4 points, Nolan none.

Buster will receive a rousing cheer when he steps on the ice. Belfour will still be booed.
If Quinn has any courage, he'll start both Mush and Buster. Both should be cheered by me, if nobody else.

I'll go with 4-1 Laffs. Nolan (2), Stajan, and Gavey (is he still playing?) for the Leafs, and only Cheech for SJ. Shots will end up 43-18 for the Leafs. :p

~Crazed.

Patrick should play tonight. Smith is now on the IR.

idea stealer. :P

I'll be pissed if Quinn doesn't start both of them. They deserve to hear the cheers for their years in San Jose. Something that, unfortunately, we never got a chance to give Suter or Graves.

In a physical game, I think the Sharks will prevail tonight. I still think the Leafs D is suspect, and Belfour will be Belfour.

The third line with Reech/Cheech and Thorny will come up big and post a couple goals with Sturm and Dampousse also picking up markers for the home side. McCauley with an empty netter to seal it as the sharks take home their first home win of the year 5-3.

Patrick should play tonight. Smith is now on the IR.

Thanks :D

Mage, you knew that I thought it when you said it. How's your cough, by the way? ;)

~Crazed.

I won't get to watch the game tonight :( at my dads house. Your right Mage I forgot about Torontos defense. Sharks could really pull one out of here. No doubt. I hope to see Sturm continue his play, Stuart played a bad one Thursday, McLaren played very very well. I hope to see Boyes up here soon :) Ahhh if only Michalek was still here.

Damn I wish I could see this game!!! AHHHH !

Cough? Hopefully it'll be better right about 10pm when that Stealth/Storm game starts. ;)

Well, I'm really glad Patrick played on Thursday, then LOL....and by the way, I hope to see Boyes up there soon, too ;)

4-3 Sharks... Thornton, McCauley, Sturm, Marleau
Owen with two for the leafs

Does anyone know San Jose's lineup?

I think we are going to see a penalty filled game. Lotta power plays....4-3 Sharks

I'll go with 4-1 Laffs. Nolan (2), Stajan, and Gavey (is he still playing?) for the Leafs, and only Cheech for SJ. Shots will end up 43-18 for the Leafs. :p

As far as I know Gavey's still on The Rock, though Hal Druken has been called up. Not that it should make any difference. :dunno: Better than Belak I guess.

I think Gavey is the captain of St.John's. Druken is not playing tonight

Wow. That was a beauty by Mogilny. He managed to spin around and not fall down unlike last night against the Kings.

well whaddaya know...OT again

Tie....who would have guessed.... :cry:

Tonights winnah...

Goalie Boy!!!
2-2 tie.

Goals from Nolan and Mogilny for the Leafs. Goals for the Sharks will come from Cheechoo and Sturm.

Eh, got one goal scorer right :D

i think i'll just predict ties from now on. that should win me some SNOGs.

Tellqvist was amazing. Absolutely amazing. He should start instead of Belflop. He was just...amazing is the only word I can think of.

SJ played good team D other than on the PP, and stuffed Nolan just short a few times. It was a good night for Los Tiburones. In the end, I kissed my sister. (On the cheek, boys. On the cheek. It was before the $1 beers started flowing at the Tank...boy were those lines long, or what?)

~Crazed.

They were damn long, I stuck around for the whole thing, the lacrosse game didn't let out till 12:45 a.m. but it was well worth it, Fights, checking, bench clearing, goal scoring, man, I never knew I'd like lacrosse so much!

Oh yeah, and as for the hockey game, RATHJE SUCKS, the guy has no idea what hes doing out there! Nice comeback again for the minnows, but sheesh, can we find a way to win a game at home?

..shakes head...Rat was very good last night...typical Rat basher.

..shakes head...Rat was very good last night...typical Rat basher.

I agree... I've been critical of Rat's play a lot this year, but he was outstanding last night, including helping set up the tieing goal.

It was very nice to see Ehrhoff back, by the way. I'm glad Fahey's going back to the AHL, because Christian (in my mind) is definitely the better player right now. Christian played the body well last night too.

The only major mistake I saw was no the mogilny shorty, but Stuart didn't close into the middle on mogilny either.

Overall game? Im not necessarily a Rat basher, but I wasn't watching his defensive game per say. Defensively he played well, but the guy couldn't pass if his life was on the line, multiple times he was too slow to make a decision. When he carries the puck behind his net he has no idea what hes gonna do, and almost every single time, the forechecker is on him before the puck has left. A couple times he almost lost the puck to those forecheckers. He then began to speed up his timing, causing a couple consecutive icing calls, when there was no need for one. Many may think icings are fine, but not when we can't win defensive draws. He's really the only d-man w/ absolutely no passing ability this year. I know the guy can pass, but lately he's putting every pass into his teammates skates.

And in Wilson's system, the rush is everything. Rathje singlehandedly slows the rush to a complete halt almost everytime he takes the ice. Watch that aspect of his game next time, and then tell me how great of a game he's playing!

Check my posts, that's what I'm always critical of for Rat.
