The Leafs are catching up to us. If we can beat Ottawa it'll really give us a boost in the standings and also make us closer to the sens (not that we'll catch them). This is the one team that I can accept a loss against but with the Leafs closing in on us we need atleast 1 point. And we NEED both points against Buffalo. They should never have beaten us.

All this discussion of the leafs and the refs reminds me of something I saw in the November 11th game with the leafs at Buffalo.

In the third period the leafs took a delayed penalty and one of the sabres (I forget which) walked in alone on Belfour. He took a wrist shot and beat Belfour. On the play Belfour got a piece of the puck with his stick but the puck just deflected a little bit off its course and went into the leaf net. The sabres were celebrating when the ref waived off the goal.

Why? Because there was a delayed penalty and when Belfour touched the puck with his stick the ref ruled the play was over.

I loved the expression on Lindsay Ruff's face as the ref was explaining his decision.

Sounds like an idiotic call. If Belfour touching the puck barely changes it's course then it shouldn't be called. I've seen it before. He has to have control of the puck to call it. Even if it hit him and bounced right off his chest I don't think it counts.

By the way, I love the way Theodore put this one. And his bravery since he was the only habs who wasn't scared to get a fine by complaining about the reffing.

Ok.. how about?

The Markov Mob

The Markov Melee

The Markov Massacre

The Markov Manslaughter

The Russian Riot

The Russian Rumble

The Russian Revolution

The Andrei Armageddon

The Andrei Apolcalypse

If those all fail, we can always resort to "Punch-A-Leafs Fan" Day! Oh, I wish it came more than once a year...

Much, much better. We have a bunch of good names - we can now officially riot over this. :ghg: :lol:
