Firstly - just because a team has similar statistics doesn't mean they're the same team. That's ridiculous. Secondly - Giguere is a former cup, vezina, and conn smythe winner. Horrible? Seriously? That said, he had a bad year, sure. The whole point of that trade was to get rid of Toskala who was undeniably worse.

That doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. And what exactly do you mean by "picking washed up anaheim players"?

Lol ellen page is still hot. Idc if she looks like Justin Beiber.

Same old what? Building? Logo? Everything else is different.

Oh, I'll be the first to admit the leafs have made mistakes in the past, many of them. But this is a completely different team and administration now, it's unfair to hold them to the failures of past players/gms.

Of course, but Boston doesn't need picks more than any other team. I don't remember hearing Kessel was supposed to completely revolutionize their team. He was supposed to provide elite scoring, which he has done consistently since his arrival. Also, stop with this "7th straight year" bs. The team was completely different seven years ago. Say three or two years if you have any interest in being objective.

Boston is a playoff contender this year. They have no need for draft picks whatsoever. Do you honestly think that if toronto didn't make that trade that they'd be in a playoff spot this year?

Are you serious? A ton of teams tried to get him. BB was competing with 5+, and to this day i've talked to many bruins fans who are pissed boston let him go. If you were to argue three pick may be better than Kessel, I'd agree. But waiting and seeing is the only logical step, and the fact is, Kessel helped toronto this year far more than three picks ever could.

Your probability makes absolutely no sense. How many picks end up scoring 30+ goals a season? Well this season there were 8. You think, that out of the 250 picks in a season, Boston will get three 30 goal scorers? That's ridiculous. Not mentioning, of course, that these picks are across multiple seasons. There's no 100% chance of another team beating another team. Probability can't predict it either. I understand your argument completely, but it's asinine. If kessel played for any other team you'd think he was great, but you're so determined to hate toronto that you make these ridiculous arguments and try to defend them with made up probabilities.

So +/- is determined only by chance and probability? That's ridiculous. +/- is not some be all and end all statistic that is a perfect indication of a player's ability. Oh and I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Three players are always worth one, right? Excellent, I'll let BB know to contact Pittsburgh offering Giguere, Lebda and Komisarek for Crosby. That would be a phenomenal deal for pittsburgh by your logic. Here are some more statistics for you. 40% of first round draft picks pan out as nhl players. 40%. Of first round draft picks. As you go down, there is less and less likelyhood draft picks will play in the nhl.

This. Whoever played luna is also very attractive. Not a big fan of ginny though.

Both should work fine, but make sure it's the actual image you're trying to insert and not a page with the image on it.

Moved to Questionnaires, as it's a more appropriate forum.

Well, it's nice to see Jagex actually putting some effort into catering to clans at least.

Censor evasion is posting a word that is ordinarily censored in a manner that causes it to not be censored. Standard procedure is to remove posts with this in it. It should be entirely possible to post without evading the censor.

What happened was posts that evaded the censor were removed. It states quite clearly in our rules that if you evade the censor that is cause for post deletion.

Same. Hence why I said it was terribly annoying.

If I recall correctly that fix was implemented much more recently then your last ban. Clearing all cookies from forum.tip.it will log you out.

Good idea. I'll join. EDIT: Wow, that was the most awful registration system I've ever used.

But I thought not making the playoffs for a few years was just part of the rebuilding process and that we're guaranteed a cup in a few years? :rolleyes:

But don't worry, they'll be saved by all the people happy with the good decisions burke has made.

Face->desk. I'm NOT trying to prove the leafs are doing well. I'm NOT trying to say Kessel is worth more than three picks ever possibly could be. I'm saying YOU DON'T KNOW. What the leafs needed was a goal scorer for this year and next. They got one. He did what they wanted.

Nobody said the post removed wasn't in some way useful. It was removed because it was flamy and disrespectful. Find a way to state your opinion without insults and it will stay. Also, as I've said many times, you aren't reading my posts. Show me where I'm trying to prove the leafs are doing the near-impossible in any way, shape, or form.

Yeah curious to see how Neimi plays. Gotta give the edge to Bryz though. Also, MTL wouldn't be talking playoffs without price. Why I've got Boston to win. The question for tampa is goaltending - if Roloson can come through, tampa will win. But it is an if. New predictions: VAN vs. CHI - VAN in 7 SJS vs. LAK - SJS in 6 DET vs. PHX - PHX in 7 ANA vs. NSH - ANA in 7 PHI vs. BUF - BUF in 6 BOS vs. MTL - BOS in 7 PIT vs. TBL - TBL in 7 WSH vs. NYR - WSH in 5

Yeah, BOS MTL and VAN CHI are the series' to watch this round, and not even just because they're Canadian teams.
