MAPLE LEAFS | RAPTORS | |
VENUE | Air Canada Centre | Air Canada Centre |
VERDICT | Depends whether you like your sports straight up or on the rocks. | |
ITALIAN CONNECTION | Bates Battaglia and Carlo Colaiacovo | Andrea Bargnani |
VERDICT | 1,231 games, 523 goals, 720 assists and no Big C (as in Cup) for the Leafs? Big C,. versus 295 games, 18.2 points and nine rebounds per game and no NBA title for CB4. Give this one to CB4, cuz Mats can?t dunk. | |
TEAM LEADER | Mats Sundin | Chris Bosh |
VERDICT | 1,231 games, 523 goals, 720 assists and no Big C (as in Cup) for the Leafs? Big C,. versus 295 games, 18.2 points and nine rebounds per game and no NBA title for CB4. Give this one to CB4, cuz Mats can?t dunk. | |
GOALTENDING | Andrew Raycroft | None |
VERDICT | When you?ve got 7-0 Bargnani protecting the basket blockers, catch gloves just feel like cheating. | |
FANS | No Cup in 40 years, yet the arena?s jammed every game. | Fans in the nosebleeds know how to cheer a great play even if they only see it on the jumbotron. |
VERDICT | Call ?em diehards, call ?em delusional, but Leafs fans are impossible to dissuade. | |
LOGO | Hello? A maple leaf. | The ?roid-raging cousin of Barney, courtesy of a Spielberg blockbuster. |
VERDICT | As cool as kids think dinosaurs are, they are extinct, while leaves keep flourishing. We hope. | |
BETWEEN-PERIOD ENTERTAINMENT | Dude on the Zamboni | Raptors Dance Pack |
VERDICT | Even the dude on the Zamboni would stop to watch the Dance Pack shake their thang. |
