Game 5 - Senators vs. Maple Leafs - 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[scubadoo]

I think they should change it from CBC to TBC (Toronto Broadcasting Corporation). Harry Neale's obvious favourtism towards Toronto is apparent. Thank god atleast I get to watch the Sens home game live without listening to Neale's drivel!

 

[n_v]

Yeah both Neale and Cole should pack it in. Age is setting in on both, and their obvious concentration on useles tidbits on the Leafs is nausiating.

 

[n_v]

Damn Domi. Lucky fark that he is. In any event Ottawa failed to score in what was pretty much a boring game from a hockey fan standpoint. But kudos for the Leafs for slowing the game down and limiting the Sens chances.

 

[tboy]

yup, our Joey and Eddy and the ever tenacious Domi......

Gotta love it!

BTW I bet we don't hear from Pansey again for the rest of the season...

 

[RemyMartin]

Damn it, why did I mention Domi?

Damn it, why did I mention Domi?

No shit Remy. Lucky bounce. But then the LEafs seem to be getting a few of those in this series. Oh well on to the next one.

Pansey has LEFT the building!!

 

[tboy]

is that weeping I hear in the distance? sssssh let's listen in......

 

[n_v]

Can we keep the flaming to other threads and stick to real hockey talk in this one. God knows you are ribbing Pansey in like 10 others threads..... Just a thought

 

[MojoRisin']

good to see n_v has turned over a new LEAF...you were once right in on the flaming...has it ceased now? good to hear. Although lucky bounces come to those that work hard...that would be the Leafs....Sens have great talent but seem to be missing that intangible to get them over the hump....they can blow out a team but in the close hard fought games...things dont go their way....strange but true

PS...re:ripping Pansey? ahhhhh poor baby

 

[n_v]

Well it seems like if the Senators score they win the game. Time to get that powerplay going guys!!!!!

 

[scubadoo]

We could banter back and forth about this game but really only one thing counts and that is the final score.

This had to be the worse hockey game I had watched over the past two years during the first two periods as both teams just seemed to be floating around and waiting for something to happen. Kudos to Toronto for the pressure they put on my beloved Sens in the third period that resulted in the 2 goals.

 

[tboy]

Mojo, you're bang on what you said about the sens, they seem to have more speed and accuracy (especially with their passing) but they just can't seem to "get it on" with the leafs.

I don't know if its because they are more a cerebral team or what. They tried to play the leaf's rough and rugged type game but couldn't keep it up when the leaf players just shook it off and kept coming.

 

[blitz]

WooooooooHooooooooo!

Finally a game without an insane amount of penalties, we actually got to see the rare 5 of 5 hockey that used to exist before this series.

Leafs had a couple of guys play like they've never played before...Berg, Reichel, nice game boys.

See ya'll on Sunday night.

Go Leafs!

Am I the only one who thought the Leafs played a pretty smart game? Okay, the Sens really coughed up a hairball, but the Leafs played a pretty tight checking game for the most part. It seems to me, if you could play for a near scoreless tie and let the goalies play an even BIGGER factor, the Leafs would be pretty smart to do so. Isn't that what happened?

Okay, I'd much rather the Leafs played a bit more uptempo, but I didn't think that game was a yawner. It was a tightly contested affair, with lots of intensity and loads of tight checking. An "ugly" win? Far from it. Maybe an ugly LOSS for the Sens .......

Let's just say I'd take that result again in Game Six.
