Hockey thread 2013 2014 season

[jedimaster]

I say good on him for getting what he did. I would have rather signed him long because I believe in two years he is going to cost far more. Let the puck drop.

[Jds63]

Lmao... Last season isn't an accurate way to judge any team/player.

He has a decent 1/2 season and he demands $7million. Then again for being one of the most arrogant guys in the league, not shocked.

 

thats gotta be one of the most ridiculous Leaf posts

He's a "dead things" fan and now has Bozo playing for his team... are you really surprised? LOL

Hodgson signs for 6 years at 4.5 per. More risk than Kadri's but in the long run might save Sabres some cash.

Wow not bad for a guy with 35 career goals.

How so?

I said it isnt an accurate way to judge any team/player. Which is true because it wasn't a full season, and it was a modified schedule by only playing half the teams.

I think Kadri beat up Stoty when they were kids, lol.

[Stoty]

haha

[jbailey]

He was holding out for too much not really having played enough games... although I will say atleast watching Kadri can be interesting, not like the pylon Phaneuf who couldn't hit the net if his life depended on it and turn down potential momentum shifting fights... or Kessel stepping over the blueline and taking a wrister from the top of the circle... ugggh

[Richie Razor]

Although Kadri didn't get what he wanted, I bet he'll play with a chip on his shoulder all season, which will be good for the leafs.

This kid plays like Dougie G.

I'm not sure who you are watching but Phaneuf is a top 10 defenseman in the league with points and goals. Kessel has been the most consistent point producer on the team. I don't understand why they are constantly being thrown under the bus.

Umm, not sure what stats you're looking at but he's only been in the top 10 for 1 of the past 5 seasons....which just so happened to be the shortened/modified season....

Pretty sure thats in the top 10.....

Shortened season or not. I think he is a good player. Hopefully Franson gets signed soon. It should be a fun year for hockey with a full season and a lot of new signings. Oct 1 cant come soon enough.

Oct 1st.

First pre-season game on CBC is tomorrow night!!!

[jimmer]

This is a Leafs thread right? Why is there so much talk of the enemy or from the enemy's side.

Go Leafs Go! Love the new alignment.

I acknowledged him making the top 10 last season

"he's only been in the top 10 for 1 of the past 5 seasons...."

but having one decent (half) season... doesnt mean your a "top 10" guy in the league.

Great game tonight..Clarkson , wow this guy plays with heart..Jake looked awesome and Kessel played the tough guy role..lol 8 min in the box tonight..Cant wait for the next set of cuts..

[Stoty]

Clarkson is a STUD. Can score goals and isnt afraid to mix it up!

Phil, is a SALLY. Two hands a guy three times and cross checks three times, but runs away when confronted.

[kickingfrog]

And that ^ is coming from a dead things fan. Page #1 of their play book.

[Stoty]

I don't see Datsyuk going around causing crap then running away.

I get the whole "he isnt a fighter" thing, but if you're gonna intentionally try and injure someone by giving them three two hands plus three cross checks then you better be ready to defend yourself and not just run away.

[Stoty]

Considering the success that Det has had..... maybe the Leafs should be taking more "plays" from their "playbook".

Just sayin'....

[kickingfrog]

I guess some people don't like behind the play cheap shots (page #2 of dead things play book) from plugs in preseason.
