Nice win, now please show up tomorrow. If they look like they did vs. Vancouver tomorrow I'm gonna be depressed.

That was some of the softest defense I've ever seen on the Kessel goal.

 

On another note, this team better improve in terms of puck possession and puck support, because neither are existent right now.

[havok24]

Still though, that was a heck of an individual effort by Kessel. That quick acceleration and stride.

[TheHurl]

I have to say I've always had theories on teams that constantly win ugly ending up playing good consistently. I really hope I'm wrong

[GD]

So is everybody really satisfied with David Clarkson through 16 games?

 

Unsurprisingly, not particularly.

[havok24]

Why is Mark Fraser playing over Morgan Rielly? I don't care if Morgan Rielly is 19 years old, he is still miles better than Fraser. I don't care if Fraser hits people, he still sucks.

[GD]

Our puck possession is horrible but who cares that stuff is for nerds we can totally win while we go 2 mins between touching the puck.

[Abomination]

I have no words.....

 

You seem to have at least 4 ...

[havok24]

This team isn't very good. That 11-5 record is very deceiving alright. Consistently outplayed, outshot, and outpossessed every game.

[havok24]

Oh and Mark Fraser f***ing sucks. Who cares though, because he is GRITTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

[havok24]

They need to win draws, if you can't do that, you're always defending.

 

That too. I just want to watch a game where they have more posession of the puck than the other team. Is that too much to ask?

[havok24]

Wow best period of the season. Complete and utter domination by the Leafs. Too bad about that penalty at the end though.

[GD]

My Bruin filled fantasy team likes this.

 

My Leafs fan soul does not.

[The Cats Ass]

f*** Phaneuf.

[havok24]

$5.25 million 3rd line grinder David Clarkson goes yet another game without a goal.

 

Meanwhile in Washington, Grabovski has 14pts in 16 games lol.

[havok24]

Although the Leafs lost, that was one of there better games in awhile, besides the first of course. Godammit!!

 

Another game and another outstanding performance from James Reimer. He just keeps on getting better and better. Not sure if I watched the same game as some Leaf fans, but Gardiner looked great out there. Had like 6 or 7 SOG. Not sure why people are hating on him?

People are hating on him? Even my dumbest Leaf fan friend said he looked pretty good out there.

 

Franson looked real good on D tonight.

[GD]

tvb

 

tbh he's dumb enough that I can't really say friend without being ashamed

[havok24]

Oh god that was hard to watch. That looks serious enough to be a season ending injury.

[Abomination]

Horrible to see that happen, but it'll sure help me in my matchup against Cat's Asses this week.

[The Cats Ass]

f***. Looks bad. It'll hurt the Olympic Team too.

[Frag]

In other news, Dave Nonis is dumn:

 

"One of the things we look for is does a player have character?... You're not going to find one HOFer that didn't have character."

 

Also, Nonis on stats:

 

"As of right now, very few of them are worth anything to us."

[Frag]

 

nonis doing a presentation on advanced stats today

 

moar:

 

"we've had teams in the past where we were outshooting teams on a nightly basis. Our so-called corsi stat was probably pretty good."

 

l.o.l.

[Frag]

Stamkos broken tibia. Requires surgery

 

Thought that would be the case. That really sucks.

[G-Snarls]

Real bummer re Stamkos

[havok24]

moar:

 

 

 

l.o.l.

 

How the f*** is this guy a GM of a pro sports team? Then again, he isn't the only moron who is in charge of day to day operations of a pro sports club.

[Abomination]

God damnit..that s***** ass league that I have talked about a few times doesn't have any IR spots. What the hell am I supposed to do with Stamkos?

 

Try to trade him before they realize he's injured lol

[GD]

Someone offered me Derek Roy for Stamkos today

 

They walked away fist pumping lol

 

that's brutal

[havok24]

Grabo 17 points in 19 games: 6G 11A .

 

Both Carlyle and Nonis can just f*** off. That Grabovski buyout was the biggest piss off ever. I'm still not over it. I really hope he scores against the Leafs and proceeds to flip off that f***ing idiot Carlyle.

[havok24]

On the bright side, the Leafs have 3rd line superstars Tyler Bozak and David Clarkson locked in long-term.

 

You're being too generous. I really don't think Bozak is anything more than a fringe NHLer. He is just terrible at hockey.
