Hanson held pointless in NHL Debut

Ok, I'll get to the game in a minute but I wanted to share this amazing video with all of you. I don't know if you know what " Base Jumping " is. It is basically jumping off of cliffs with either a parachute or a wing suit and flying around. This is a bunch of guys in Norway, learning some things about it. I have no plans to try this, but it is sure as heck fun to watch!

Ok, the Flyers embarrassed the Leafs tonight, handing them an 8-5 loss.

Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson, who will also coach the U.S Olympic team, had some harsh word for his squad.

“We had some guys who basically mailed it in tonight and didn’t want to compete,” Leafs coach Ron Wilson said. “We knew that they would come hard.”

Jeff Carter scored his first career hat-trick and added an assist for a four point night. Mikhail Grabovski continued his late season tare with 19th goal of the season to go along with 27 assists.

New comer Christian Hanson played a little over seventeen and a half minutes and had 1 shot on goal although he just missed a glorious opportunity for his first NHL goal when he failed to get his stick down on a pass from Jason Blake in the second.
His father sat in the stands and drew loud applause when he was introduced in the third period.



The Leafs next action comes Saturday at home against the Canadiens, and as always, tyou can hear all of the action live right here on Bench Brawl!
