I love that the Leafs have banned Waffle Guy from games and the police have charged him with mischief.

And they call Vancouver a no fun city....

Mr Waffleman crossed the line when he threw them during an in process play

HE'S...THROWING...

WAFFLES

How can anyone take that as anything but a joke? He's not throwing garbage or plastic beer cups.

...WAFFLES!

The Leafs would've done themselves a favor if they just ROFLed about it and moved on. Instead, they've made it all serious. Hey, the product you put on the ice isn't any fun to watch...now that a fan has done something hilarious they shit all over it.

Interfering with the play is auto-ban. I thought that would be common knowledge.

So, someone can throw waffles whenever the other team gets a good scoring chance? You wanna throw something, wait for the whistle. You might get tossed, but I doubt you'd get a lifetime ban.

Yeah, if he threw 'em during a stoppage, he wouldn't get in that much crap. Much less effective though...

This may turn into the new Detroit octopus.

Remember when some guy threw a sweater in 2004 that actually helped lead to matt cooke's buzzer beating goal against the flames?


Anyways that guys prob Sooo regretting it. Was that worth never seeing a hockey game at air Canada centre again??? Nope

It would nice if the NHL had a few marquee games on Christmas similar to what the NBA does on Christmas.

During the playoffs?? In-play?? I could be wrong, but I don't recall any sweater...
That would be very serious if it had affected a play during the playoffs.


I'm sure lifetime ban is a good thing. It'll relieve any temptation of wasting his money watching his team lose.
He can save his money and do that at home on TV instead. :troll:

It would have been the same whether he threw garbage or plastic beer cups, fact of the matter is, he interrupted the game with what he did. They're not banning him because the object he threw were waffles.

If you ask me, disrupting the play isn't a joke.

NHL players are more family orientated so time together over holidays is important. NBA players have paternity tests.

Commentator goes "Somebody could have slipped on that" in a condescending tone. :haha:

Oh noes, those professional athletes may have seriously injured themselves by slipping on a waffle.

I know a Canuck who injured his back on a piece of cracker :D

He was picking up a cracker from the ground.

interfere play during breakaway?

:troll:

I think the ban wasn't so much to do with endangering players or messing with the live game as it was that it was completely embarrassing the organization and they had to make a point to stop any more waffles lol

Yes it was during playoffs and IN-GAME.

Haven't seen Wild Pacific Salmon thrown on ice for quite some time in Vancouver. Then again, we haven't made it past round two in a long time, LOL.

looks like parise wants out of new jersey for sure.
not rushing himself to help the team, hello hometown minnisota wild ?

Dont forget whos running the front office in Toronto, we have the best american german and swedish born player on our team right now anyways...

Meaningless. He could've just suffered a setback in his injury. Rushing back is what leads to careers ended.

Not that I don't think Parise wants to go, though. I don't think the Devils can afford to have him and Kovalchuk on the payroll...it's just too much money tied up in two guys that aren't Crosby and Malkin or Ovechkin and Backstrom.

Plus NJ has LW out the ass that don't want to play on the RW.

craziest game ive ever been to by far

lucky! i went to game 2 of that series which wasnt quite as good

i still remember sitting in the pub with 2 buddies and 3 random brawds and losing my shit when cookiemonster scorred. loved Jovo jumping around like a monkey in the box too!


also, notice naslund? he used to do what it takes to get the job done. what a shame.

Im sure its more the team telling him not to rush to come back to the last place team and if its not the team telling him its the doctor, only a month later then when he was expected to start skating so for a knee injury really its not that surprising. Also hes a rfa and the devils have enough cap coming off the team next year not to worry especially if they send zubrus to minors.

wow, I only remembered the goal itself, and Jovo's reaction in the box.
If I wasn't a Canuck fan, I would have been raging all over on that play.

Shirt landed on the ice after Iginla released his empty net attempt...
but regardless, I would have expected a stoppage in play, and maybe faceoff on the right circle.
Stick chopped out of hands? Are you allowed to do that?
