Ex Maple Leaf Pavel Kubina was featured on the program.
|
|

Warm ups begin and Hedberg is like, "Dude, did you step in dog poo?"
|
|

Pavelec is ready for action.
|
|

Ignore the puck rolling along the ice back there. The real action is happening just in front of his glove. Sweet camera work, I must say. ;)
|
|

Moose warms up a bit.
|
| |

Marty looks perplexed.
|
|

Bogo handles the puck.
|
|

Pavelec continues to be ready for action.
|
|

Kubina parks along the boards.
|
|

Johan Hedberg chats with Jonas Gustavsson. Fellow Swedes. Neat.
|
| |

Boulton is just about to shoot.
|
|

Slater watches the action.
|
|

Bogosian gets ready for the pass.
|
|

Time for some Pavelec spotlight action.
|
|

This is what we saw on our left side during the first period. $70 a seat for this.
|
| |

Kovy is set up for the face-off.
|
|

Our two minutes of fame begins! Virginia kindly captured some footage for us.
|
|

About thirty seconds in... Still tied at 2.
|
|

More of the action, from Michelle's vantage point.
|
|

And lastly, the view from Kerry's camera. Gotta love the support!
|
| |

Army and Exelby shoved each other around a bit.
|
|

A little shoving on the other end.
|
|

You gotta keep 'em separated.
|
|

Dramatic save! I knew I liked this picture the instant I took it.
|
|

Further examination of said photo shows that the puck smacked him upside the head.
|
| |

Kubina drops down on one knee to block the passing lane.
|
|

Pavs works on his breakdancing.
|
|

Then he squishes his 6'2" self into a tiny ball.
|
|

More action involving Exelby on this end. He would have a big hit on Kozlov later. Now, what was that all about, Ex? You guys used to be friends!
|
|

The boys lined up on the bench.
|
| |

Third period starts and the boys are welcomed like rock stars.
|
|

Goooaaalll!!
|
|

We'll call this one "invisible puck," cause I don't have a clue where it is.
|
|

Vesa Toskala tries to impress the ladies.
|
|

Mmm. Yes, I think I'm starting to feel thirsty too.
|
| |

Umm... Slater?
|
|

After knocking his helmet off, Beauchemin incurs the stare down from Antropov.
|
|

Tensions rise and Thorburn steps over to investigate. A fight would insue, but I wasn't able to get good pics because of the angle it was at. Too close to the boards on our side.
|
|

Pavelec glides over to the bench.
|
|

"And stay down!"
|
| |

Hmm. Methinks this guy is at the wrong convention.
|
|

Ack! Pavs lost his stick! Chaos insues! But we managed to fight them off. It's all good.
|
|

Hainsey pulls his usual "delay of game" stunt and is ushered to the sin bin. Gee, thanks.
|
|

"I've got 10:15. Is that what you've got?"
|
|

Toskala skates over for an extra skater. It was a 6 on 4 for the last minute! Oh noz!
|
| |

But we kept the Leafs at bay! Bogosian literally jumped into Pavelec's arms to celebrate. Too bad I didn't catch that - it was adorable!
|
|

I did, however, catch the "Kozlov Punch." He always gives the goalies a right hook on the chin when they win.
|
|

Pavelec: "Wait up, Moose. What the hell is that on Valabik's neck?"
Valabik: "Huh?"
|
|

Pavs was third star!
|
|

Yay!
|
| |

Kovy was first star with two goals! Hey, that's the same camera man we had for the Two Minute Drill!
|
|

He signed a stick for a long time season ticket holder. I'm guessing it was really the dude in the back.
|
|

The final score.
|
|

On to the Taco Mac Post Game Show. Totally diggin' this guy's shirt!
|
|

And the back!
|
| |

In spite of my hardest wishes for Ondrej Pavelec, our guest of the night was Evander Kane.
|
|

Checking out the action on TV.
|
|

He scored on a wrap around. Darren gave him some friendly ribbing for trying it so often.
|
|

*cheesy grin*
|
|

Oh yeah, the wound on his face was recently placed there by a puck. Ouch. Well, see you later, Kaner!
