misfish Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Tie domi won against other leafs if I'm not mistaken Tie was the heart of the leafs when he played for them. Gilmore the same. Funny how small guys have hearts of a giant.
grimsbylander Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Proof like winning the fastest skater competition? Riiiiiiggghhhttttt Hardly a measure of the athleticism required for a 60 minute hockey game. Someone start a speed skating thread.
misfish Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 And it seems another small giant has called it quits. Might mouse. Martin ST.Louis. Now theres a leader on any team.
leaf4 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Hardly a measure of the athleticism required for a 60 minute hockey game. Someone start a speed skating thread. I agree with that, but also watch how many times he explodes up the wing with insane speed every game, not everyone can do it that fast that often. I'm giddy to watch him play in Pittsburgh, will be my #2 team now just because I know they will be an exciting team to watch play
lookinforwalleye Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Bill and the fact that NOBODY was offering more speaks volumes as too the value of Phil Kessell...my team is desperate for scoring and even they didn`t want him!!!
lookinforwalleye Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 I figured there might be a problem with the chemistry when he told his captain to FO when lining up for a faceoff..... ....but that's just me!!!
manitoubass2 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 And it seems another small giant has called it quits. Might mouse. Martin ST.Louis. Now theres a leader on any team. NO! Really he retired???? Frig Marty was up there with Messier and Yzerman IMO. If he did retire thats a loss for hockey.
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Sad but true. http://www.tsn.ca/st-louis-leaves-nhl-a-legend-1.324003
manitoubass2 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 What a bummer. To me, Marty was like the late 80's early 90's style of player. You dont see that much anymore. Full of class, chock full of talent and that guy nobody speaks ill of.
BillM Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Hardly a measure of the athleticism required for a 60 minute hockey game. Someone start a speed skating thread. Yeah skating has nothing to do with hockey.. It's barely even a requirement! lol
Acountdeleted Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Then I wonder why no one has signed Jeremy Weatherspoon to an entry level deal eh?
grimsbylander Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Yeah skating has nothing to do with hockey.. It's barely even a requirement! lol If you try hard enough I guess you can miss the point.
grimsbylander Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Then I wonder why no one has signed Jeremy Weatherspoon to an entry level deal eh? Not a bad idea...he could backcheck on Kessels's line.
manitoubass2 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Leafs might be without Komarov for abit too. Seems he's got himself in a little trouble in Finland
BillM Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) If you try hard enough I guess you can miss the point. I think you're the one trying too hard here Just read the info about Komarov, I bet he gets a slap on the wrist. Edited July 3, 2015 by BillM
Steve Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Leo's the man! He'll pay the fine and be done with it...although Finnish police don't screw around....Leo is a star in Finland.
misfish Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Sad but true. http://www.tsn.ca/st-louis-leaves-nhl-a-legend-1.324003 HOLY, Think he can survive on this? He went on to earn nearly $70 million in his career.
grimsbylander Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 I think you're the one trying too hard here Just read the info about Komarov, I bet he gets a slap on the wrist. You're right.
glen Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 They didn't get enough for kessel. Bad trade. They will be boring without him. He will win a cup.
leaf4 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 They didn't get enough for kessel. Bad trade. They will be boring without him. He will win a cup. Yup, should've held on till the trade deadline or at least make them sweat to sweeten the deal. Hypothetically if you're a team and are having issues scoring heading into the trade deadline would you not think hey maybe I could pick up kessel and give us a boost to follow through into the post season
Acountdeleted Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 Kessel was clearly a dump. They didn't get full value for him, they didn't hold out until he was of peak value and they agreed to pay part of his salary. Sadly 'that's so Maple Leafs'
fish_fishburn Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Id Shanny would of thrown in a skate sharpener and a bag of pucks it would of been a fair trade.
lookinforwalleye Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 The Leafs received exactly what Kessel was worth in the open market....a whopping 2 teams were bidding for his services!!!
BillM Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 You guys really need to put your feelings aside and look at his point production over say the last 3-4 years, then sit here and tell us the Leafs didn't get a bad deal, lol. Hate the guy all you want, but the numbers he puts up don't lie.
