He was our 1st round pick in 2013, urghh. Was that a Brian Burke pick??? I really enjoy listening to him on Sportsnet panel.......?
chris.brock Posted December 19, 2018 Report Posted December 19, 2018 I found this interesting. 2 long time team mates get into a spirited fight. I'm thinking the ottawa dressing room wasn't (and probably still isn't) all sunshine and apple pie. Meanwhile, senators owner Melnyk and business partner file lawsuits against each other for hundreds of millions of $$$. The whole franchise seems like a circus.
LostAnotherOne Posted December 19, 2018 Report Posted December 19, 2018 3 points for Brown. I knew he was a true 4th liner haha

jimmer Posted December 19, 2018 Report Posted December 19, 2018 That was a better game from the leafs scorers! Not sure what's up with Jersey (maybe goal tending), they looked pretty good earlier.
Acountdeleted Posted December 19, 2018 Report Posted December 19, 2018 I’ll stir the pot. 7 goals and not a single point by Nylander. Thoughts?

I think he looks pretty sharp, even on his first game back, he's gotten a lot of attention with his hold out and contract etc, but realistically he is only a 20 goal scorer and a one way player

One the ice everyday by himself for 3 months and not practicing with the team makes a huge difference. He's not out of shape, he's out of form. The only thing that fixes that is game play...

Should of been on the ice everyday staying in shape while he was sitting out. Agreed with B. He was playing in Sweden. Maybe if he was holding out for more money he should have made them say ‘we made the right decision’ when he came back. Auston Matthews always seems to be better when he comes back from an off season or an injury.

Headhunter Posted December 19, 2018 Report Posted December 19, 2018 To me, he looks like he's in his "playoff form"... out to lunch! HH 1
grimsbylander Posted December 19, 2018 Report Posted December 19, 2018 This is fantastic. Maybe guys that know hockey know how long it takes to get back into the game at the NHL level.
Acountdeleted Posted December 19, 2018 Report Posted December 19, 2018 He decided he was going to play ‘big dog’ and hold out all of this time. Then the team even back payed him this season for the games he didn’t play. So now we are saying ‘let’s give him a few PAID games to get into shape’? Lets pay all the players for training camp and pre-season then. I honestly don’t care when he is supposed to be ready or how many games he supposedly needs. I’m happy to have him back but when he acts like his you know what don’t stink and he was worth holding out for 2 months, i’m Holding him to a higher standard because that’s what he essentially promised us by holding out. 1
Jds63 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Well the Leafs have 12 years before their name gets removed from the bottom ring of the Stanley cup ... as they add more rings to the top , the bottom rings get removed and displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame, so in 2030 the Leafs last winning team from 1967 wont be on the cup anymore.... I am a glass half full guy so hope all the stars align and the Leafs can get to the big show before i forget what Hockey is all about ...LOL Having said that we know how hard it is to win a cup even when you have a talented team on paper .... add another wrinkle to this dream ... SIMMONS: Marleau's contract now a boondoggle for Leafs https://canoe.com/sports/hockey/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/simmons-patrick-marleaus-contract-has-become-a-boondoggle-for-maple-leafs/wcm/f06a3a7f-2693-4973-a087-33005caac9c9 "This is how the math works here: If Marleau agrees to a move, the Leafs can probably afford to sign Gardiner. If he doesn’t agree, they can’t possibly pay Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Freddy Andersen, Nazem Kadri, Morgan Rielly, Marleau and Gardiner somewhere in the neighbourhood of $67 million. That would leave just $16 million for 14 players. In other words: Impossible." Edited December 21, 2018 by Jds63
chris.brock Posted December 21, 2018 Report Posted December 21, 2018 the article says- Kapanen is likely to come in at around $3-to-$4 million next season That doesn't sound right compared to Nylander's $7mil Kyle's got his work cut out for him. In Dubas We Trust!
BillM Posted December 21, 2018 Report Posted December 21, 2018 Yeah, Kap is going to get paid who is anyone kidding.
AKRISONER Posted December 21, 2018 Report Posted December 21, 2018 lmao kap is gonna make 6 million next year and its not gonna be with the leafs unfortunately.
LostAnotherOne Posted December 21, 2018 Report Posted December 21, 2018 I've pretty much given up on Toronto passing Tampa in the standings. Calgary was up 3-1 after first before I went to bed. Thought to myself 2 points closer to taking over. Woke up and go figures. Absolute bologna.
LostAnotherOne Posted December 22, 2018 Report Posted December 22, 2018 Looks like Bob Cole is calling the game tonight. Good stuff

chris.brock Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) I'm not big on Bob Cole and his anti Leaf sentiment, I'm not happy I wish Bowen was back on TV edit- through 2 periods, Cole has just sucked the life out of my Saturday night Leaf game, he's such a bummer, he's so disconnected from what's actually happening in the game, I'm having flashbacks from the Ballard years, I hope to christ he's not doing tomorrow's game Edited December 23, 2018 by chris.brock
