1.) The Leafs needed to win that game to make the playoffs. If they tied, the Hawks were in. So the goal didn't actually cost the Leafs anything other than another minute or two of overtime to try to score the winning goal. Gill took a risk, but in that situation you kind of have to. 2.) Gill was actually playing wing in that game. So next time you see the highlight, ask yourself "Where the hell were the two defencemen?" A little puck support would have been nice.

Leafs I loved:
- Wendel Clark. I am naming my first-born son after Wendel Clark. I am not joking about this. - Bill Berg. For reasons outlined a few posts above. Also my wife's all-time favorite player - Todd Gill. He got a bad rap. - Mike Foligno. Jump, Mikey, jump! - Allan Bester. Of course. - Tim Bernhardt, Rick St. Croix, Mark LaForrest. Any crappy Leafs goalie of the 1980s, actually. - Ken Baumgartner. Smartest goon of all time. - Tie Domi. Respect where it's due. - Brad Smith. Motor City Smitty! - Peter Zezel. Best defensive center the Leafs ever had. - Ed Olczyck. Don't know why, but he really grew on me after he left. - Bob Rouse + Sylvain Lefvebre. Thanks for 1993, boys. Leafs I hated: - Garth Butcher. What a bum - Sergio Momesso. Worse than Butcher. Just terrible as a Leaf. Plus I never forgave him for his OT goal in 1989 - Robert Reichel. Although he's trying hard to win me over this year. - Kevin McLelland, Kevin Maguire, Nick Kypreos. Come on, it's Toronto, we deserve real tough guys! - Trevor Kidd. Sieve. - Larry Murphy. What a bum. Completely quit on the Leafs. I'm glad they ran him out of town.

He scored a goal in an early-round series against St. Louis one year. It was early in the series (either game one or three), and early in the first period (in other words, a largely meaningless goal), but I remember him streaking down the wing after a loose puck and just ripping a slapshot past whoever the Blues goalie was... I have not seen MLG or the ACC erupt like that after a Leaf goal before or since. Great stuff. Last edited by Simms : 04-30-2004 at 07:31 PM. Reason: typos |

I thought this was a Leaf thread.... Very solid game by the Leafs....Sundin came out to play.....Belak wasn't as noticeable....but the other so called scrubs (Wilm, Kilger) played very smart....Mogilny seems to have this look in his eyes like he is ready to take his game to the next level....not that that means scoring more....... GO LEAFS GO!!!!! |

Ville deserves it. It was a bonehead play that makes a depleted lineup have to insert yet another AHLer.
I know injuries are part of the game but it's amazing the Flames are still in it with 6 regulars out. It's more amazing that they beat the Wings playing 5 defencemen in Game 3. I like the Leafs makeup except for Antropov, Ponikorovsky and Reichel. Why those stiffs are on the team is beyond me. |

Well, yeah. It's all speculation at this point....he made an impromptu appearance on the afternoon drive sports radio show yesterday. He sounded very much like a guy who didn't really want to leave, but if he does, he's perfectly fine with that. Swore CBC hasn't actually said anything to him, so he couldn't elaborate on the story, but conventional wisdom would suggest even CBC isn't so stupid as to get rid of their mealticket (which he is, whether they ever admit it or not). The entire country went apeshit a couple of years ago when CBC tried to play hardball with Ron McLean....can't imagine what the firestorm would be like after Don.

Jeff Brubaker... nice one. Good times. Even though he was mentioned elsewhere, I can't believe I left Steve Thomas off my list. Stumpy! Good games by the Leafs tonight, but not a good effort for the Flyers. I have a bad feeling this series is shaping into another one of those "home team wins every game" affairs, similar to TOR/NYI in 2002.

Thx for the linky Simms...good stuff...i'd be interested in seeing the rest of your hockey resources also....as i have none of my own
Are we to suffer through another Saturday night with no HNIC game ??? I am starting to get a bit upset with this catering to ABC who draws flies for their telecasts.

It had to be done. It was too blatant and stupid. Given the timing of the hit, the five minute major, the misconduct, it was written in stone. The Flames have played amazingly well despite the injuries. If the Wings survive this series, they could be in a world of trouble with San Jose and/or Colorado. The Wings are getting adequate, but not dominating goaltending, and many of their "big guns" (see, Shanahan, Hull, Zetterberg, Datsyuk) aren't firing all that well, if at all. |

Another great name: Bill Derlago. As a kid, I just thought it was cool that we had a player named "Builder Lego". Another guy I loved: Rob Pearson. I don't know why. He was slow, had no hands and couldn't fight anywhere near as well as he thought he could. But I just liked having a guy around who was ready to snap at any time. More guys I hate: Mike Craig: What a bum. I can't believe we traded Zezel and Grant Marshall for him. Jamie Baker. What a bum. I can't believe we traded Gill for him. Baker's only positive was that he lead to one of the all-time great hockey one-liners. The leafs acquired him shortly after they picked up Garth Butcher, and one sportswriter quipped "Somebody stop Fletcher before he goes out and trades for a candlestick-maker."

Another black eye for hockey during an AHL playoff game between Hamilton and Cleveland. Alexander Perezhogin swung his stick like a baseball bat and caught Garrett Stafford square in the face. Absolutely sickening. You have been warned...

ML....Was'nt Craig not a FA signing....and the compensation was Zezel and Marshall?
The Leafs offered another player...i can't recall who.....and the stars countered with those 2....i believe the arbitor can only choose between the 2 deals offered. None the less...Craig was an all world POS when he got here.
