Hold me Ken

Dion Phaneuf was dreadful and does not deserve that C on his chest
- vancity787

He would be great as a #2 or #3 playing about 20 minutes a night and not being captain.

He is a disaster as a captain, playing 25+ minutes, 3 games in 4 nights.

I wish it was just a bad dream.

Holy (frank). Lucic took total control of that game and people would rather a Booth or Horton over a Clarkson? Jesus.
- honesthockey

I totally agree. I have to say that of all the Bruins, Lucic impressed me the most. He's straight ahead, honest player, and not a dirty little POS like Marchant. When his shot hit Fraser in the face, he acted like a sportsman and quickly went over to see how he was. The rest of the dirt little poope Bruins can shampoo my crotch.

Uh no.

First time in playoff, GAME 7 history, blowing a 3 goal lead in the 3rd period.

I'm glad somebody else sees this.
- weirdoh

I agree, as well. He is Burke's captain. I think, given Randy Carlyle's comments last night, at the very least, the C will be removed from Dion this off season.

Agreed I think a good #2

Or it would work with another guy like him to share the load

Leafs were without a doubt the quicker team. they were in control, but they stopped skating. they let boston back into the game. they stopped playing to their strength, and just gave it away.

they were tired too, great game, great series, can't ever let up.

I missed what was said.

Whoa, that brightens my day.

Carlyle essentially said that in evaluating the players, the playoffs revealed that some players elevated their game and showed the coaching staff something extra, while others revealed that they were essentially what the coaches thought they were.

Cal dump Lupul for captain?

What have we come to?

Not sure I agree with you there, Freaky. Game 7 pressure exposes your flaws. The Leafs struggled all year playing with leads - in fact, they have repeatedly stopped playing all season when they get 2 goal leads. It happened again last night with a 3 goal lead. The lack of consistency in their game that was there all year was their fatal flaw.

I kept saying "ice that b*tch", but no one heard me...

Booth over clarkson .... No

Horton or clarkson would be nice
- The_Vark

Horton over clarkson??

Horton over clarkson??

You couldn't go wrong with either of those guys...$$$ should be the deciding factor...

- 77emac77

No they weren't. They stopped skating. Gave it to Boston......They stopped skating, that is how they "tried" to defend 3rd period leads all year.

They handed it away.

The repeated icings were part of the problem. The Leafs had no answer in the faceoff circle last night. Bruins won 70% of the faceoffs last night, and all of them in the last 2 minutes. Recipie for disaster.

I'm talking about that last minute when they couldn't even touch the damn puck...

His 42% in the playoffs was sorely missed.


EDIT: they played the first 2 1/2 periods starting without the puck, if they played their game they would have been fine. You cannot stop skating, and still be in it.

They had the momentum and allowed Boston back in it by letting off the gas pedal.

Horton over clarkson??

WTF?

Clarkson is gonna get overpaid, but there is no much, if anyone, available who would make a bigger impact.

Horton > Clarkson ?? Good Lord

(frank)! He's gonna get Crosby-like money now because of that.
