Nice goal by Kappy, he's really only got one move, but when he's sprung into the clear he can do it

The Loafs put in a Shame Game every once in awhile when they are feeling the heat, who knew ?

Evidence of nothing against the backdrop of their general gutlessness going nowhere in terms of contending

I'd rather they keep spiraling down so Dubas will be forced to get something for Tyson Barrie at the deadline

Apparently Vancouver is interested, there's a sucker born every minute

The Loafs didn't really play better, Pittsburgh just didn't show up this time

They play five playoff teams in a row coming up, that will make or break them

The problem with the Loafs is not that they can never play a Shame Game

The problem is they have to play Shame Games at all, having embarrassed themselves for several games prior to

Freddie kept a clean sheet and the Leafs controlled the game.

The Loafs were playing the same nervous brand of hockey, knowing full well that they can collapse in a moment

They were fine in Buffalo, tied 2-2 in the third, then boom, 3 goals against in 90 seconds

Which sent them into a tizzy which lasted through the next game and was still in effect at the start of this game

The difference was the Pens didn't pounce on them tonight

We know the Loafs can prance around getting easy goals when the other team comes out flat

We also know the Loafs fold as soon as any team applies a bit of pressure, including bottom feeders like Buffalo.

I've been following the pipeline thread on the MLW, it's not being covered on the news here.
Made me curious about the Oka crisis. Is this film worth watching?

Well, it's made entirely from the Mohawks point of view, so it's laced with a lot of propaganda, but it does give a flavor of what the crisis was all about, at least from the very front line at Oka, the operation actually spanned from Quebec into Ontario, there were actually two operations going on at once, Op Salon in Quebec and Op Feather in Ontario, but Op Salon was the main event so that's where the media concentrated.

Is there a more balanced documentary?
