muddler Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 UHHHH, you mean 3-3 tie right? 5-3. Gotta love a team that wants to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddler Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Your above statement is contradictory... You don't get to the NHL without working hard Yup, I agree, but you're supposed to KEEP working once you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Yup, I agree, but you're supposed to KEEP working once you get there. Can't argue that one. I can't figure out why in October I'm in better shape then Philly and my career isn't dependant on it. Edited March 22, 2015 by jeremy84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlybri Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 5-3. Gotta love a team that wants to win. I guess the sens lost the memo that they need to win games at the beginning of the season and not just the end. They are doing the opposite of as the Leafs or as you call them Laffs. Leafs start strong and loose a bunch of people jumping ship. The Sens start weak and pick it up just to fall short of their goal, but what else would you expect from the Nation's capital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaf4 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Phil gets a bad rap for his appearance of health, but who won the fastest skater comp at the all star game? You don't get to that level without dedicated training. He's probably got horse legs like Marty st louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get to that level without dedicated training. He's probably got horse legs like Marty st louis Phil doesn't work at anything, it's all given to him according to a few in this thread. What I'd love to see is all the guys slinging crap in this thread on the ice with him (Or can you guys even skate? lol) I'm sure your tune would change. His season totals over the past 5 years prove he's an elite player, why do people ignore simple black and white things like stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.mech Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Phil Kessel last 5 seasons +/-: -20, -10, -3, -4, -35. Not too may elite players can compete with these numbers. Only two players in the top 20 in points in the league are minus players and only 4 in the top 30. Jamie Benn is -4, Tyler Seguin is -1, Joe Thornton is -1, Johansen is -11, Zetterberg is -3, Eberle is -17, Spezza is -4 and wait for it...........Kessel is -35. It is kinda hard to ignore the black and white isn't it? Of course Phil blames it on bad bounces and empty net goals on Friday....that's some pretty crappy luck.

Phil can skate circles around me and make me look stupid because he has that natural talent. But I'd challenge him to a Marathon any day, give him a year to train and I'd still whip him. Sadly I can see him retiring at 32 if we are lucky. Marty will be like Jagr and playing until he is 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Phil needs to take leadership when things are as bad as they are,as well as others.They get paid one heck of a salary and just don't try or even care. He needs to be benched a couple games and see if that may wake him up?????????????. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Nice to see some feistiness in the game tonight. Not like the old battle of Ontario, but not a bad game. I think this Hamburgular guy is gonna fall from his high horse soon. Then the rest of the team will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaf4 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Look at the success of the leafs compared to all those other players teams in terms of regular season success... I see a trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Phil has been blessed with great genetics as an athlete. He skates like the wind mostly because of great fast twitch muscles provided by those genetics. I'm not sure how hard he worked or didn't work to get to the NHL. Read Brett Hull's book, he didn't work at all to reach the NHL; he did after he made the big show. The Mechanics stats say it all and yes he won't have a long career in the NHL IMO.

Acountdeleted Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 www.letsgoleafs.com/2015/03/22/leafs-announce-signing-of-college-star/ I feel like signing these guys is kinda like buying a lotto ticket. A lot of the time you end up with nothing. But if you don't play, you don't win. At least they are doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddler Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Although I hate to say it, the Leafs actually played a pretty good game last night. It was even "entertaining" Now how about those SENs, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb4me Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Im interested in the new Leafs signings..Casey Bailey should join the leafs this week some time.

Congrats to them, now lets see if they can hold on 10 more games..Shall be interesting..If and if they do, ill be cheering for them for the playoffs, after all they will have deserved it..

Would be nice to meet the Habs if we make it. We seem to have their number! As for the leafs, yes, 3/4 of them or more should go. And the management as well. Start fresh and lets rekindle the battle of Ontario! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think Nonis will be gone at the end of this year, Shanny is running the show. Let's hope this is a good playoff season! We need some teams in the east to stick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
