Maybe take the C off him and take some pressure off, Just seems over welming for him in this market and dealing with the press is not easy

That would be a heck of a start,and I think not one person would debate that move.That could be all that's needed.They should do it soon!!!!!!!!!

They've dropped his minutes quite a bit this year, I think that has helped. Although if you do take the 'C' I think he'll want out of Toronto. Now you've gotta replace him and to line D men are slim pickings right now.

Not wagon jumping Bill LOL

 

I like what Im hearing. Remove the C. He is not a leader. Even you ole mighty wise one said it yourself. LMAO

 

As for all the minutes he plays against top lines, well, he,s getting passed by way to much now to be playing that roll.

[misfish]

So he,s only playing cause he,s a captain ? Now that's a joke. You play because you love the game.

I don't think removing the 'C' is a bad move, but if you do, he's gotta be traded and you'll need someone to fill that role. No way he'll wanna stick around Toronto if the 'C' is removed, I know I wouldn't..

 

This was thw worst game he's had in a while, he's actually been playing pretty good this season so far. Should we talk about Reims and the swiss cheese pads he was wearing lastnight? He was awful.

[xxgoaler]

and how many did Dion stand there and do nothing 4 times ?

[manitoubass2]

yeah its easy to say lets trade straight up for #5 on calgary lol.

 

bill is right, even if a trade were to come up its slim picking right now and remember phanuefs contract lol

 

i woud like to see the c on komarov but that c is not coming off until phanuef has a flight booked to another city

[BillM]

It's one game man, who cares? If he's doing this night in and night out, then you should start to worry. but the fact is, he isn't. His numbers prove that.

Yup. I think with each season and the cap increases, his contract won't be such a big deal... Maybe another team will take it on? Only time will tell. But as of now, he's playing good in my books I wouldn't change a thing.

[xxgoaler]

The fact is that he is consistently bad

This is the best season he's had so far, he's a +8, playing way better hockey. You sound like the type of guy that will hate on him no matter what he does.

[Acountdeleted]

I agree with Bill. Phaneuf played bad but you can't hang that game on him. I think you can legit hang that one on Reims. He was letting in a lot of point shots where there was no tip or screen. The one through the legs was real real bad. I know it's easy to start up the 'what if' train, but I think we would have had that one if Bernier was healthy.

Thats just wrong. Im not sure what your watching???

 

Ive watched almost every leafs game this year and last night and last weeks philly game were dions only bad game IMO

[xxgoaler]

Riemer has been improving with his rebound control and directing the puck to the corners, but last night was not one of them.

[xxgoaler]

for Dion's years of experience there is no way he should be making the mistakes that he does. Like bad pinches or bad reads and letting guys skate around you. If you know your to slow take a different angle, don't do the same thing over and over. Those are rookie mistakes and even they pay the price and get benched.

[manitoubass2]

Hes not Datsick, hes not perfect.

 

and what you just posted, lots of that would apply to Reimer as well.

 

ok so since it seems most want rid of Phaneuf, lets get a list of who would be available

Anyone???,I'm easy lol.

[xxgoaler]

A bag of pucks or even an old mouth piece , or cup. Dion is the capain , Riemer is the back up goalie making a third of what Dion is making

[manitoubass2]

uggh you guys suck as gm, about as productive as you portray Dion to be.

[xxgoaler]

Bring up Stuart Percy, he's been the odd man out

[xxgoaler]

or Korbinion Holzer, he has been solid when up

[manitoubass2]

I like that call. How old is he now 25-26?

[Raf]

Dion's been getting beat around the outside fairly consistently the last few weeks. I like the guy and think he's an asset but maybe he's playing hurt and should rest up. I did not notice him being beat like that, at least not on such a regular basis, earlier this year.
