By Greg Wyshynski

The Green Men of Vancouver, those body-suited jesters of the opponents' penalty box at GM Place, struck again on Saturday night as the Vancouver Canucks hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs. If you thought their manic mime routine against the Nashville Predators or impressive upside-down taunting of Jack Johnson(notes) of the Los Angeles Kings was hilarious, then you haven't seen their Eggos.

Please recall the recent peculiarity in Toronto, as a 27-year-old construction worker threw waffles on the ice after the Leafs' loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, protesting the team's lackluster play this season (and, well, every season).
