Aaaannnddd finally we have the product of a weak network agreement. Toronto/Boston kicked over to NHL Network. I have NHLN so I have no problem with it, but what of the people without it? OITGDNHL would they promise 'Every Game, Every Night' and not come through. How about you make use of MSNBC?

[IceCap]

Ahhhh! CBC.

In the network's defense of short-changing the TV schedules:

"Because it's the Cup!"

The Bruins and Leafs are going back and forth. Each has had a couple good chances.

Really, since when is going to the Super Bowl four straight years considered choking?

It's not.

Losing in four straight is.

Except in only the first of those four games were they on level terms with their opponent.

The Redskins and Cowboys teams were better than the Bills. And it's not choking to lose to a superior opponent.

Ahhhh! CBC.

Is it just me or are there fewer commercial breaks on CBC telecasts?

Nope, it's still the standard under 14-10-6 timeouts.

Interesting that the Leafs chose their thirds opposed to their regular blues.

Also, the ACC looks like a 20,000 strong bar mitzvah with those scarves.

Was Don Cherry seriously just blaming the Leafs' dark blue jerseys for Reimer not being able to pick up the puck on that shot?

Do we care about anything Don Cherry says at this point? (Or did we ever? If so, why?!)

Ouch.

That's about as tasteful as this:

As if we needed another reason for home whites, eh?

I didn't have a reason to not like Leafs fans, but now...

Yes, let's judge one of the largest and most diverse fandoms in hockey by the actions of one idiot.

Jeez, and I thought Pierre McGuire always looked like a clown when he was between the glass at the Joe.

Edzo's chest area alone covers the span. Can't even see his arms.

I mean, I get what that one fan wanted to display, "we're one-upping the Bruins in fan loyalty." But trying to cash in on a message intended on healing from real-life calamities is just poor in taste.

And I don't get how no one else in the stands points this sign out.

That's actually an outdoor plaza at the ACC, it would appear.
