Are any of the Maple Leafs on last year's roster in the new Mike Myers' film, The Love Guru? Do they speak?

Question

I live in T.O. (Weston/Finch) and I also admit that I bleed blue and white.

I am a sucker for punishment.........like all Leaf fans.

Maybe Wilson will have the kind of impact that Burns and Quinn had in their first year of coaching? We can only hope.....If man can walk on the moon, then they should be able to put together the right pieces to bring a cup to Toronto before I die. I would even consider becoming religious if such an event would happen in my life-time. I love Mike Myers and all things Toronto. Go Leafs Go!

Answer 1

I think the actors playing hockey players in the movie could probably give the Leafs a run for their money!

Answer 2

Maybe Darcy Tucker. He's got a big mouth.

Answer 3

Howdy Neighbours,

   I grew up at Weston Road and Albion. We used to call it Mason's Corners. Went to Downsview Collegiate a million years ago.

   Anyway isn't it wonderful what selective memory can give you. Maybe NIPS can explain what the Red Wings were doing between 1955 and 1996 probably eating up the league like the true champions they were.

Also maybe he should a little closer at what Babcock was doing before the lockout and how come he was available in 2005. The investment owners of the Toronto Maple Leafs are not the problem. The Leafs had a sole owner for most of the last 41 years the Teachers fund is an improvement.

We'll see how well Detroit stands up when their players start to demand the money they're worth. After all this is the team that paid Gordie Howe $45,000 when he was the top player in the league and Bobby Baun $95,000 when he was a washed up old defenseman.

As far as Wilson is concerned. He will move some of the weaker links and instill a work ethic in the team that seems to have been missing in the last years team.

An interesting point of reference, the Leafs record with McCabe and Toskala in the lineup was better than Rangers, Senators, Flyers, and Bruins as well as all those teams that didn't make the playoffs. But that doesn't matter they sucked and will still suck.

Answer 4

On the other side of the 400, the general concesus is that it's going to take while to turn this ship around. Wilson is a good start.

Not sure why Nips seems to think ownership must change before we can win. Management must change and they are doing that. The owners hire the guys (management) who are in charge of the players. Who owns it is irrelevant except when it is time to decide who the management team is. They are in a very slow process of figuring that out. They also need to realize the marketing advantages of putting a winner on the ice. If they think they're making money now, wait and see what happens if this team actually does something.

It's not as difficult as it sounds to make the necessary change, look what Brian Colangelo did for the Raptors. While they still aren't great, they have direction and a brighter future. As was the case with Colangelo, they have to wait for their guy to become available.

At least that's how it looks from Keele & Finch.

Answer 5

nope i doubt it hence Justin Timberlake play LA Kings Goalie in that movie.

i was calling for Patrick Roy to come back to retirement and whip a singer acting as goalie ; )

Answer 6

No one really answered you question, I don't like comedies, but I would like to see this movie, I thought I saw Gary Roberts in the background, but the clip was shown too fast I could be wrong, I am a Leaf fan no matter what, everyone likes to pick on the Leafs no one ever mentions other teams that haven't been winning any cups like Chicago who only has 3 cups and hasn't won since 1961, and boston with 5 cups, the last win was 1972,

Go Leafs Go!!!

Answer 7

Probably not. The Leaf players are all on Standby to see if they are fired, bought out and/or taken to jail! They have no time for movies.

Answer 8

I see from the TV commercials that the goalie can't stop a flying midget so yeah maybe.

Answer 9

After Mark Cuban buys the Cubbies this year, I think he should fly straight to Toronto and try to buy the Leafs from the Canadian Teachers Pension Group or whoever the fudge owns them.  The Leafs are nearly an exact mirror of the Detroit Lions.  They have passive ownership who doesn't address the real problem, the front office.  It doesn't matter how many stars you bring in to play on the ice or what big names you hire to coach from the bench, your team will always falter without good leadership in the front office.

You know why the Wings are successful? They have one of the greatest GMs in sports with Ken Holland.  The guy knows what to look for in players, coaches, h**l I think he even has a say on the guys who carry Beer and stuff down the aisles (don't want idiots spilling beer on your payng customers). The Wings are a great orginization from the ownership down, the Leafs are trying to build in the opposite direction and it simply isn't working.

Wilson is going to have 0 impact if the front office binds him up like they have been doing in the past.  I would love to see the Leafs succeed in the near future, but it isn't going to happen until there are sweeping changes made to the top of the orginization.

Hey Noah, Love Guru is bound to be funny in at least 4 spots.  That might be worth paying $15 for a ticket :(

Answer 10

In the comedy "The Love Guru," Pitka (Mike Myers in his first original character since Austin Powers) is an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus. He moves back to the U.S. to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality. His unorthodox methods are put to the test when he must settle a rift between Toronto Maple Leafs star hockey player Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) and his estranged wife. After the split, Roanoke's wife starts dating L.A. Kings star Jacques Grande (Justin Timberlake) out of revenge, sending her husband into a major professional skid - to the horror of the teams' owner Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba) and Coach Cherkov (Verne Troyer). Pitka must return the couple to marital nirvana and get Roanoke back on his game so the team can break the 40-year-old "Bullard Curse" and win the Stanley Cup.

Answer 11
