Leafs Central... at Lunch!

Things are pretty even in the big city as the Leafs go 1-1-1. They win their first overtime game, lose their first overtime game and then finally lose their first game in regulation. That puts them at 4-1-1 so far this season. This week we talk suspensions to both Doan and Rypien. The NHL overeacts to Rypien and suspends him for 6 games. So taking someones head off is only 2 games, but grabbing a fans shirt is 6 games? Let's face it, that fan was probably a smug douche anyway and deserved it. We know one thing, whatever he said to Rypien, he wouldn't have said to him if he bumped into him in a bar. Then we discuss if we would be proud or ashamed if we made an ass of ourselves and pissed of a hockey player that much to make him attack us. We also talk about the A.C.C turning into a silent tomb. Finally we talk about the Leafs games of the week and wrap it up with Wayne's Word. From the fan punchers at Leafs Central... at Lunch!

The Leafs start of the season a perfect 3-0 and the fans are bloody excited! Manage expectations everyone, they can't keep winning every game. This week we talk about the prior Leaf games, the demotion of Jeff Finger and the many suspensions that kick off the first week in the NHL. Most interesting of all being the suspension to James Wisniewski for his penis in the mouth oral sex mimicking to none other than Sean Avery. Speaking of short things, how about the short bench the Devils played with? (it's a stretch of a segue, I know) We talk about the Leafs destroying the rival Sens and hanging on against the Pens. Is this team fast or what? We end it off as usual by giving Wayne a call and testing his ability to spell Wisniewski. Stay tuned for some exciting guest in the coming weeks.

We're back! Yes, it's been 7 months since a show! (boo) Actually we did a show before the Olympics and never posted it. so if you've been having Leafs talk withdrawals, we've got the tonic. This week we quickly review the summers activities and preview some of the things coming up this fall. We talk of the new speedy Leafs and try in vain to predict this coming spring. We try to introduce a new segment called stupid Leaf fans where we read dumb Leaf fan comments. We also briefly discuss the opening game versus the hated Habs. As always we do a rousing game of Wayne's Word. Listen and subscribe through itunes. From the Leafs Lovers at Leafs Central... at Lunch!

A perfect start to Gigueres reign of terror! Last week Burke made many significant trades and the Leafs beat the Devils 3-0. Lou Lamoriello said that whatever Burke could do he could do better so he went out and got the star of Atlanta, Kovalchuk! In your face Brian Burke! So the boys talk that and the Oli Jokinen trade. Who said there were no trades in the post lockout era? Chris speculates that next year Ilya is K.H.L bound next year, if that's the case, we don't want you in our N.H.L Ilya, get the hell out of here! We also discuss the firing of Ken Hitchcocky. Speaking of cocky we also talk about Phaneuf's attitude in the dressing room and the new greatest line on the Leafs...Kulemin, Sjostrom and everyone's favourite Leaf, Wallin. Mike Komisarek is out for the rest of the season with shoulder surgery. Finally we end the show with a solid solution to the problems in Haiti and the sad news that Wayne got Wayne's Word right and the Leafs blew a 3-1 lead in the last minute of the game vs. the Devils. Booooooo! Make sure you listen to the bonus audio clip at the end of the show! From the Canadian Haitians at Leafs Central... at Lunch!

The Leafs lose a 3 nothing lead to the Canucks om Saturday and then they lose Stajan, Hagman, White, Mayers, Toskala and Blake to the trading block guillotine. That's right, Brian Burke went ballistic and sold the farm. Depending on how you look at it whether you think these trades or for the better. In return the new boys in blue are Keith Aulie, Fredrik Sjostrom and J.S Giguere. Oh, and also Dion Phaneuf! This week the guys discuss these monumental trades, good or bad. They also talk about how Burke will manage the cap next year with very few forwards on contract and over 26 million devoted to defence. As always we wrap up with a rousing rendition of Wayne's Word! Don't be disturbed by Wayne's maniacal demented laughter... From the Trade Mad G.M's at Leafs Central... at Lunch!

W, L, L, W, OTL, L, OTL, W, L, L, W, L, L, L, L, W, L. So that wraps up the recap of the Leafs games since our last episode. If you're keeping track that's a 5-10-2 record over the last 17 games. We had an episode 8 that was unfortunately lost to a computer crash. So this is take 2! On this episode we discuss how terrible the Leafs have been lately. Is there a way to fix this team. Only Dave and Chris have the answer! Why do the Leafs managers always pay too much in trades. Hell if we know. We talk Brodeur as the best goalie of all time, Cujo`s retirement, Bozak call up, and of coarse the newly minted Olympic team. We close out the show with a discussion of the top events of the past decade in hockey and a quick Wayne`s Word. From the Olympic Mega-Men at Leafs Central... at Lunch!

In this short episode Dave and Chris jump back on the bandwagon as the Leafs go 7-3-1 since our last episode. We talk briefly about the wins of the 3 weeks we didn't have a show and get into the recent resurgence in Vesa Toskala's game. He seems to be winning back the fans. His only recent losses are to the well oiled Boston Bruins and the once Leafs prospect Tuuku Rask. Wayner calls in and gives us his picks for the renaming of NHL trophies. He was right on the ball with some of them, but not to worry he was out to lunch on the Jack Adams. Have a listen and see who Wayne thinks the Jack Adams should be re-named after. The Wayne's Word was a disappointment this week but fear not, we'll zing him next time. From the Band Wagon Jumpers at Leafs Central... at Lunch!

It's the Dave and Chris show, and until Brian finishes all his remodeling of his new place it's gonna stay that way. This week we talk about the Leafs inconsistency in play. The week of point streaks followed by 4 losses in a row and an awful lose to the Hurricanes. You can hear the dispair in their voices as they grasp for something, anything positive to say about the Leafs latest performances. It's a rough go of a show that not even Wayne's Word can cheer up. If the show seems to be as inconsistent as the Leafs play, be encouraged to know that we will soon be back in the swing of things now that all the moving is done, (almost).

This week Chris, Dave and Dan discuss the Leafs first win of the season and the dismal chance of them reaching the .500 winning percentage. We talk Toskala, head shots and other stuff that I can't remember because this show was recorded a month ago and is just being posted thanks to the lack of a computer and the incompetence of Future Shop. Episode 6 will be posted also which was recorded 3 weeks ago... We also jam a Wayne's Word in there somewhere. I wouldn't blame you if you don't listen to this one, it's too old to bother.
