November 5, 201015 yr I thought he was injured? "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 6, 201015 yr Yea, Miller is injured, which sucks for Buffalo. They're doing pretty bad right now, and same with the devils (they're usually consistent and good) Anyway, last year there were long streaks of games where Wilson played Mitchell on the top line, and I'm just :wall: :wall: Maybe he's not THAT bad, but idk, they have better players in their systems than Mitchell. I wonder how long the Flames losing streak will go to, they're such a mess right now, and Jerome has scored 2 goals, that's less than Taylor Hall :razz:
November 6, 201015 yr I don't see how they have better players than mitchell? Bear in mind they need better centres, not just better players... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 6, 201015 yr Didn't hear about the Miller injury. That's good. And Mitchell is one of our better centers, though not nearly a top line player.
November 7, 201015 yr canucks vs wings was such a good game. almost like watching a playoff match. leafs vs sabres, not so much. giguere got outplayed by a rookie :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 7, 201015 yr I didn't see the game, but I heard the pens won after all. I don't know what the leafs need to get back in things.... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 8, 201015 yr i don't think leafs are doing enough. 1 win in 9? games and they barely changed the roster because wilson refuses to do any moves so early in the season, yeah because these games dont matter at all? went from division leaders to under hurricanes (lol) how's halak though huh. i remember when some dip[cabbage] on my facebook kept calling him a one trick pony :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 9, 201015 yr I didn't see the game, but I heard the pens won after all. I don't know what the leafs need to get back in things.... Right now, alot of Leafs are underachieving. People like Versteeg (who you gave up stalberg for) and Armstrong (granted he can't do much while injured) are all 20 goal scorers. Grabovski needs to start scoring too. Shake up the lines maybe. OR FIRE WILSON, lol.
November 9, 201015 yr I don't understand this "fire wilson" attitude. Ron Wilson's a damn good coach, but there's only so much he can do with a ton of underachieving players. When you say moves, do you mean trades, or line shuffles? There's precious little trading to be had, and they have been doing line shuffles. Doesn't grabo have 9 points now? "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti

When you say moves, do you mean trades, or line shuffles? There's precious little trading to be had, and they have been doing line shuffles. Doesn't grabo have 9 points now? Even if Wilson is a good coach, imo that's debatable, things just haven't been working under his reign. I'm sure that we can agree on. Maybe it takes a new coach to energize the players, give some new hope into the team, and turn things around. There's no guarantee it'll work, but maybe it's worth a shot. Knowing Burke though, he and Wilson are tight, I doubt he'll fire him. Grabs does have 9 points but only 1 goal, imo that's underachieving. And a 7-1 loss by the Oilers, ouch :boohoo:
November 10, 201015 yr I don't see it. I seriously think Scotty bowman could come out of retirement to coach the leafs and after a season people would be calling for him to be fired.. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 10, 201015 yr they don't have any star players. they need to grab a good centre and stop overpaying average players like phaneuf :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 10, 201015 yr they don't have any star players. they need to grab a good centre and stop overpaying average players like phaneufI agree. Well almost..Kessel is still developing, I'd call him a star; but he needs good teammates which he doesn't have. How much does Phaneuf make a year? "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 10, 201015 yr 6.5-7 mil i think. that much money for a defenceman that wasn't even good enough to play for canada in the olympics :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 10, 201015 yr Yeah that seems a bit high...considering Kaberle makes barely 4 if I remember correctly. Then again, as far as offensive defensemen go, Kaberle's a real bargain. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 11, 201015 yr how's halak though huh. i remember when some dip[cabbage] on my facebook kept calling him a one trick ponyi still can't [bleep]ing get over how Montreal traded him when he carried the team to the Eastern finals. Whoever is recruiting these star goalies must be a really angry dude since the habs always send them off once they hit their prime (for a low, low price!)
November 11, 201015 yr lol well im sure the avalanche are still grateful for you letting go of patrick roy i don't know, but price has been good for you also. that shutout is a nice slap in the face to the canucks :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 11, 201015 yr 3 mins left in TO vs FL...4-1. Perhaps we'll have better luck against NJ :lol: "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 13, 201015 yr Kaberle makes 4.25M, I believe. And that is a very good deal. Phaneuf, when playing his best, is well worth the 6.5M he makes. And Wilson is a good coach, but not the right coach for the Leafs.
November 13, 201015 yr Who would be the "right" coach for the leafs? I've also never seen Phaneuf as better than Kaberle, but that's not including his supposed "motivaion" as a captain. Ps. They brought up Khadri...should be interesting. Doubt it'll help much. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
November 13, 201015 yr I don't have any suggestions for a better-suited coach, but Wilson isn't the best fit, I'm sure. And Phaneuf isn't better than Kaberle, but Kaberle is underpaid. Kadri, though, won't help much and isn't a very good move, in my opinion. They should have given him a full year in the AHL.
November 14, 201015 yr Leafs played good tonight though. Tough for JSG to let in a weak one like that, but at least they're scoring.

Kadri, though, won't help much and isn't a very good move, in my opinion. They should have given him a full year in the AHL.I agree in that the AHL could teach him a lot, but talent-wise he's certainly a lot better than several current players. Game last night was decent, that 4th goal was brutal though. Luongo's game though really, after Grabovski's goal he just decided to take over.
