Calling all Leafs fans

[Juan Albion]

Your boys took one hell of a beating!


Ha! 8-0 at home!

 

[BendyThumbs]

Ouch....don't even get me started. I think i will try to hide until the next game....one of the most embarassing in a very long time.

I just watched clips from my playoff tape collection to make myself feel better if you know what i mean

 

[Long Saulty Seagull]

I take it you're a Senators fan then Juan.?

 

[B.M.F]

We have been very slow starting this season and do not know why. We have a better team than the last season played but are not cutting it on the ice yet. 8-0 is a bit of a whipping

 

[B.M.F]

I take it you're a Senators fan then Juan.?

Yeah he is but was quiet when we beat them in the play off's during the last season.

 

[perth seagull]

I thought you lived in Toronto, Juan?

 

[Bwian]

I take it you're a Senators fan then Juan.?

Yep-he's the one...

 

[BendyThumbs]

Juan you live in Toronto, but are a Senators fan?

That is a sin, i remember the one Senator fan at my school...it would have been much easier if he remained in the closet with the rest.

 

[Juan Albion]

I don't live in Toronto. Never have.

I'm a fan of the Sens because they treated a good friend of mine very well when he had terminal cancer. He was their assistant coach - although near the end he was head coach again for a game against the Leafs, which the Sens won, of course.

He also coached the Leafs but I expect that was just job experience before getting a 'real job.'

Would that be the ex-Leafs Head Coach with a street named after him in Peterborough?

Actually I thought the Leafs have had a better start than expected. They even won 4 straight at one point I think.

And they may have a 'better team' for the 'old' NHL, but they are poorly equipped for the faster, more skillful NHL, which is why they got stonked by the Sens last night, who skated past them as if they didn't exist.

Indeed it would. Most wonderful guy you could ever meet. With the most amazing basement in his home full of toys for the boys.

 

[Gully]

Ice hockey is a mental game, amazingly quick and hard to play (particularly if you don't know how to skate when you take it up), all this had me wondering what the chances are that Brighton might get an ice hockey team as I believe they are building a new rink at the marina.

We used to have one if memory serves me right. Think they were calssed as one of the roughest around. Tigers I think but may be well off the mark.

 

[Gully]

They were called the Tigers, there was an old Canadian bloke (now sadly departed) who ran the Anchor Inn in Storrington who had played for them in the 50's. It would be amazing if we could have a team again, surely they would have to be called the Tigers...

For some reason, that sentence makes me concerned?

 

[Juan Albion]

Hmm, yes I can see why that might.

 

[BendyThumbs]

I believe your friend is Roger Nielsen? RIP he was truly loved by all who loved the game. Nice to see him inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I have been playing hockey all my life, and love it (but not as much as football . I have a couple friends who played hockey in the UK, one for the Cardiff Devils, and they said all the fans were respectful and great. Hopefully Brighton will get a team if they have an arena.

Where do you live Juan? Maybe another Albion fan close to me?

 

[Juan Albion]

And now 8-2 in Ottawa.

That's 16-2 in two games.

 

[B.M.F]

Had a feeling you would be first to congratulate us Juan
