moxie Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 ESPN, lol. The Fox News of the sports world. They rated Pheonix number one! Didn't the league have to take over the team due to bankruptcy? Not much credibility if that is who they rank as number one. Hehehe. Silly leaf fans. Credibility? Bell and Rogers owning sports teams with no idea how to run them. Also, what credibility would be afforded a fan of a team that embarrasses itself year after year and makes them pay through the A$$ from key chains to tickets to blindly follow a dog that will never learn to hunt?
moxie Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 Centre of the Hockey Universe? See only a black hole that sucks all life from its surroundings. That would include leaf fans.
BillM Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 You sure do waste a lot of time posting about a team you hate Another MuskyMatt in disguise?
tb4me Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Posted September 23, 2014 Good entertaining game tonight.. Naz is the man tonight..Granberg looks solid..Hockey again tomorrow night at the ACC. Did I mention how happy i am that hockey is back! lol Go Leafs Go!
misfish Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 Just watched the highlights. Nazi looks good. Sucked on the shoot out.LOL
blaque Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 Nazi looks good. Theres a nickname ya dont see everyday.
AKRISONER Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) never been much a kadri fan TBH Although maybe the leafs have finally handled one of the prospects properly and forced him to develop his game to a level of his full capability. The guy always had the skill to be a point a player game, but he completely lacked the work ethic, drive and grit it takes to be that kind of player in the NHL. Theres a lot of guys that cry and cry about how kadri has been held back, i personally think he has been handled very well. Now in the final year of his entry level contract he has his opportunity to become a top line centre. The kid is only 23 years old, he is just coming into himself now. If he can prove that he is a bonafied top line guy scoring a point a game this season, then he will get the money he deserves. Next season you have 15 million to sign franson bernier and kadri. They should be able to work it out. Kadri needs to learn how to win a faceoff though if he wants to be a #1 Edited September 23, 2014 by AKRISONER

blaque Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 I pronounce it nazzzzzie. LOL dont ever get his jersey with just his nickname printed on the back .......that'd make for a long night at the rink
Steve Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 i just hope kadri stops being a dirty beyotch and gains some respect among the NHL's best. he is often embarrassing.
muskymatt Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 i just hope kadri stops being a dirty beyotch and gains some respect among the NHL's best. he is often embarrassing. More embarrassing than the rest of the team and the organization?
Steve Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 Leo looks very strong. Making me proud!
BillM Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 So happy to see Leo out there, hasn't missed a step yet!
leaf4 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 Leo is looking good for sure! lots of good hits and driving the play with physicality
glen Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 I like what I'm seeing. Playoffs here we come. Lol.
leaf4 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 wow Nylander just got robbed by the post!
Roy Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 I like what I'm seeing. Playoffs here we come. Lol. Here we go again...get the folding chairs out.
lookinforwalleye Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 Yes I agree they will win the miniature cup this year!!!
tb4me Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Posted September 24, 2014 Im happy with what I watched tonight. Nylander with 2 beauty steals in front of the net one leading to a goal and a post..We are in for a treat with him, maybe not this year but soon...Real soon. As for Leo the lion, You dont need to watch to know when he on the ice , you can hear him..I heard the commentators say "someone forgot to tell Komorov its a preseason game" he hits hard and often..Remember he was a huge part of forcing Boston to game 7, 2 years ago.. So many positives coming from tonight's game..Happy Leafer here..
muskymatt Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 Laffers are always happy until the wheels fall off the bus.....which should happen....wait for it......right....about......now! bahahahaha
AKRISONER Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 This is exactly why i have such a hard time with pre season games. It makes the "good" players seem so much better because they are playing another team's AHL squad. Kadri wont have that much time with the puck, and everyone else will move as fast as komarov when the real season starts. Hopefully Clarkson and Kadri will be able to at least get off to a head start due to their off season training regiments so that the leafs can get some points early. Because after a month everyone else always catches up and gets back on pace. The good news is that the leafs at least made some adjustments to the front end and hopefully this will assist on the forecheck so that they arent playing the entire game in their own end anymore. The D still really worries me though.
jimmer Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 You always know what you're going to get from Komarov and Bernier. It's the rest of the team that you never know what you're going to get night in night out. Kadri needs the consistency to make me a believer. I'm ready for the parade! LOL
