The Leafs has two new Finnish players, goalie Vesa Toskala and forward Tony Salmelainen. They'll help the Leafs to success!;) Or I hope so.... Good luck, Leafs!

What's next, I thinks it's Penguins time to get my support! What's you favourite team on this years play offs? Or do you shout "yes" to the team Raptors of NBA playoffs? Here in Finland my favourite local team Kärpät are figting the championship of Finnish Hockey league and leading now 1-0 against Jokerit, Helsinki. So two wins yet and then: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

They Didn't Suck Tonight

AllanO' — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 04:41:05 GMT

... but Raycroft had to shine to pull a win out for them against the Flyers. Was at the game at ACC. Was a really fun one, but a nail-biter for the most part. Leafs prevailed 4-1, with some really nice goals from Battaglia, and Ponakarovsky. The kind of game Leafs would lose in other years -- against a struggling team in their division. Maybe a nice omen that they won this one.

They Sucked Last Night

AllanO' — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 12:45:19 GMT

I was at the Air Canada Centre last night to see Leafs play Ottawa. and they sucked! Lost 6 - 2. No finish on offence; totally useless on defense.

I get to go to one or two games a year, and, I swear, I hex them when I show up -- they always seem to lose when I'm there.

At least we get to square things up on Thursday in Ottawa.

Euuunnnnhhhhhh.....!

An Excellent Dilemma

AllanO' — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 14:23:18 GMT

Paul Morrice has a dilemma that Leafs haven't had in a while: too many good goalies. Raycroft will be number 1, without question, however, Telqvist and Aubain have shown so well in pre-season games that the choice of who to keep as back-up is problematic. And complicated by the fact that neither can be sent to the Marlies without having to clear waivers -- and be lost to another team for sure.

A happy problem.

Wisdom is that they will keep all three on the big club and look later, maybe, for a deal, or wait till everyone else is committed to their goaltending, then chance clearing waivers with either of the two.

Good-bye Tie Domi it's been a slice !

ta2jOyNt — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 00:28:48 GMT

It's time for Tie to say bye

Tue, June 20, 2006

By MIKE ULMER, SUN MEDIA

You can look all you want at Tie Domi and it doesn't really made sense.

The fireplug head is mounted on a body that came out of the box three sizes too small. The unmistakable swagger somehow jibes with a softhearted touch with kids.

At five-foot-10, he had no business fighting heavyweights. But he did, with regularity and usually good results. Every fight was a miracle.

Domi was a fourth-liner who openly spoke about himself as one of the Toronto Maple Leafs leaders, a 20-point-a-year guy who falsely saw himself as a difference maker.

His biggest impact on a series came in 2001, when he elbowed the New Jersey Devils' Scott Niedermayer and changed the course of a playoff the Leafs were on the edge of winning.

His mistake came when he was playing the best hockey of his career. That's the way it was with Tie.

Teams can begin buying out players within 48 hours of last night's awarding of the Stanley Cup. The Leafs have not made their intentions clear on Domi.

They need to tell one of their most memorable players goodbye.

He doesn't fight much anymore. After years of fighting super-heavyweights -- his most memorable bout this year was a pounding inflicted by Ottawa's Brian McGrattan -- he seems to have lost his stomach for it. Or maybe there just isn't anyone to fight anymore.

The goon is gone, forever.

Carolina didn't bother carrying a tough guy. Nor did a number of high achievers, Buffalo, Calgary, Detroit and San Jose among them.

What little knuckle work still exists could be soaked up by Wade Belak or Ben Ondrus, who racked up 104 penalty minutes and 12 goals in 53 games with the Toronto Marlies.

It wouldn't be smart, but there are other free-agent options, Georges Laraque in Edmonton, Donald Brashear in Philly or Ryan VandenBussche, his knuckles rusting away in Pittsburgh. With a gaping hole in net and wafer-thin depth at forward, the last thing Leafs GM John Ferguson Jr. should be occupying himself with is replacing Tie Domi, but it's his team.

Ditching Domi is complicated. His obvious courage and ferocity endeared him to fans. His political instincts have always been top drawer. He's tight with Leafs chairperson Larry Tanenbaum.

Domi's friends have ranged from Teemu Selanne in Winnipeg to Mark Messier in New York. Captain Mats Sundin, still the heartbeat of the franchise, is a supporter.

That's the thing about fighters. They command inordinate gratitude and respect from the game's royalty because on countless nights in countless rinks, their presence guarantees a safe night at work.

It's true thousands of sick kids have had a bedside visit from Domi. His philanthropy is quiet and heartfelt. But the NHL operates with a salary cap and Domi's $1.2 million over this year and next is too much for a tired fighter who turns 37 in November.

That Sundin considers him a friend means little. Sundin managed nicely after other friends moved on. His job is to lead, not to decide who to lead.

The Leafs desperately need fresh voices and a turnover at forward. They need John Pohl or Alexander Suglobov or even Jeremy Williams or some combination of the above to infuse youth into a lineup.

They don't need a veteran with ties to ownership whose presence could fragment the dressing room. And they don't need a seven-minute-a-night leader.

There's never really been anyone like Tie Domi, but he still has to go.

Toronto Court Ruling

AllanO' — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 13:15:47 GMT

Toronto,Canada (AP) -A seven year old boy was at the center of a Toronto courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Toronto Maple Leafs, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

:O)))

Greetings from Finland!

esa — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 14:30:07 GMT

Hello and greetings from Finland! My name is Esa and I live on the northern part of Finland in a little town. The nearest bigger city is Oulu. Do you know Oulu and what's your thoughts or images about us?

My story of being a Leafs or the "Buds" fan is quite short.... It began when the Leafs visited Helsinki 2003 and they won Jokerit 5-3. They show the whole game on Finnish television.

Last year when the famous lockout was on I used to watch the AHL results and of course St. John's Maple Leafs! Nowadays when the team moved back to Toronto and they changed the name to Marlies I still watch the events!

Ok, thanks for inviting me to the tribe of the Leafs and let's hope we'll have a chance to celebrate Stanley cup soon!
