October 29, 201015 yr Same. I wish I'd been able to watch him play with his russian line: Him, sergei federov, and Pavel Bure. How badass is that?! "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
October 30, 201015 yr That would be awesome to see. Also, I'm getting sick of seeing New York in the opponent's name.
October 30, 201015 yr Yeah I don't know why they're playing NY so much. I could understand if they were at least in the same division.... Versteeg is back for tonight, which is good at least. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
October 31, 201015 yr Not good enough. Shut out again, 2-0 again. 36 shots and not 1 found the back of the net.
October 31, 201015 yr Yup. They need to put people in the front of the net more (but once again that goes back to them having no big centres.) Even if they called up Khadri, he's not a big guy... I found NY didn't really play a good game, both of their goals came off lucky breaks and the leafs dominated offensively...but they just can't finish. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
October 31, 201015 yr leafs really need better forwards. getting shut out like that two in a row is insane. yeah tim thomas is a good goalie but not scoring against the rangers is a joke :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
October 31, 201015 yr I didn't see this game, either, but we haven't had anybody who would really go to the front consistently in years.
November 1, 201015 yr At least somebody like Sundin could hold his own in front of the net if he wanted to...I like bozak but he's too small. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 1, 201015 yr imagine if leafs picked up byfuglien instead of versteeg :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 1, 201015 yr Yeah, I like versteeg but byfuglien would have been better. In late June I heard a rumour they almost got Patrick Sharp but that never materialized. The thrashers put byfuglien on defence eh? "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 2, 201015 yr He could, but he preferred behind the net, along the boards. As for Byfuglien vs Versteeg, I would have loved to get Byfuglien more than Versteeg. More than Sharp, too.
November 2, 201015 yr Leafs already back down to 9th where they belong :thumbsup:sadface Apparently they brought Caputi up and put him first line just so he could stand in front of the net... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 2, 201015 yr I guess MacArthur took a Schenn slapper in the gut. He was down for a while. Poor guy... but at least it wasn't Phaneuf. As for Caputi, we'll see how good he is at it.
November 2, 201015 yr I'm curious to see what happens once boston and jersey get over their injury troubles, they basically both have to make a trade... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 3, 201015 yr They'd want draft picks probably. They couldn't afford kaberle. Game tonight was lame (didn't see much though). Phaneuf got booed as he left the ice injured, toronto fans are such [bleep]s sometimes. It's unreasonable to expect them to come from nowhere and be a cup team. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti

Burke's trades haven't been very helpful. It's hard for the fans (I'm not one btw) to see Burke trade away draft picks for players when they're trying to rebuild, so I guess it's misleading. Also, Oilers just scored 3 straight to tie with the Canucks :thumbsup:

Also, Oilers just scored 3 straight to tie with the Canucks :thumbsup:I don't understand this attitude at all. He traded a pick for kessel. That pick ended up being a player with some promise who may score 20 goals this year. Kessel is 40 goal scorer practically guaranteed, and I beleive if he has the right line-mates he can push 50. It's not like he's trading draft picks for 35 year old veterans. The entire team is very young and won't be competitive for another year or two, yet already we've seen a significant improvement over last year (even if the past few games haven't been great).

Tell that to the rest of the fans :razz:, btw, tonights game on TSN was pretty good. Leafs almost won it, but a phantom crosschecking call on Lebda ruined it. One thing I don't get about Ron Wilson is why would he play John Mitchell, he sucks balls. Too bad leafs lost, i thought they deserved to win.
November 4, 201015 yr John Mitchell sucks balls? He was crucial to Kaberle's goal with great maneuvering in the OZ. He's better than Zygomanis at any rate... But yeah, leafs played well. I had a feeling we wouldn't do well in the shootout though, but at least we got a good amount of goals from some not so regular producers.

November 4, 201015 yr that penalty shot in the stars pens game was so sexy :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 4, 201015 yr There was a cross check, so it wasn't really a phantom call. But it was pretty weak. And yeah... once I saw it was going to the shootout, I knew we lost. And Mitchell is actually a pretty good player. Not for top two lines, but a good third liner.
November 5, 201015 yr Well, if we beat buffalo on Saturday (definitely doable) we'll be back around the playoff line.. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
