Although it happened a while ago, the Toskala/Niedermayer for Tucker/Joseph trade is still brought fairly regularly when members of the Let’s Be Friends Forever league gather for hockey and drink. There is often talk about how the Poop Faces made a horrible mistake and should be dragged out back and beat up.
Well, let’s look at last week’s stats:
Toskala: a 3.00 GAA with a .889 save %. That’s down right pukey.
Niedermayer: 1 assist. He got 10 penalty minutes, though. Helpful.
Darcy Tucker: 3 goals, 3 assists. 4 of those points were on the PP. And 7 PIM.
In this period, Darcy is tied for 2nd in overall points. Who’s first? Another fine Poop Face: Martin St. Louis.
The Poop Faces have recently dragged themselves out of the gutter and are starting to look more competitive. Good work, team.
UPDATE:
Way to break my balls, team. Nice work.
The hate can continue.

What a horrible night for the Poop Faces! I knew I should never have trumpeted our good fortunes on the blog. I’m going to go cry in a corner.

You’ve taught me a valuable lesson. No one will hear of the great play so far this night of the Tigercats. Hossa with 4 pts, Straka and Nylander making it happen, Tanguay and Smyth adding some singles…you won’t hear it from me.

Maybe if I repost your comment as a comment on your own blog, horrible things will happen to YOUR team! Let’s try it.

You wouldn’t!! You know that could sink me!
I guess I should have re-watched that McCabe fall. Much more of the ankle hurting than the wrist.
I guess some teams have longer views than one week. Those teams are not the Poop Faces.
Scotty N (D-man): 21 pts; Toskala: 11-2-0, .925 SAV%, 2.13 GAA, 1 SO.
Darcy T (W-man): 25 pts; Joseph: 6-11-0, .885 SAV%, 3.41 GAA, 0 SO.
Just saying.
Perhaps we’ll soon be talking about the McCabe trade. Having just watched him fall down and seemingly injure his wrist, he may be out for a while. Didn’t the Leafs’ slide last season occur when McCabe was out?
But really, we just jazz you because you’re so handsome.
