Why does he want phanuef gone anyhow. He does so much for our team. They see him do something stupid once or twice a game and assume hes garbage. They seem to forget the other 24 minutes of shutting down the other teams top lines while contributing offensively.

He sucks,we will give you Porter for him and just to make it fair we will add Fistric

Periods to separate the simple sentences, and a comma in the compound-complex sentence. Did you prefer me to make the entire thing a run-on sentence for you?

Um...I was supporting your comment, not criticizing it. Remind me not to hop in a foxhole with you if it ever comes to it.

What's your excuse for not making the playoffs?
- 6Karlsson5

No excuses, but here's the reason the Oilers missed the playoffs:

The team isn't good at all in transition, either with the puck or without it. Goaltending was good, but not inordinately timely. We had a bit of bad "puck luck" early in the season, with Hall, Eberle and Nuge simultaneously suffering poor on ice shooting percentages.

Mostly though, we were simply inexperienced. At the three quarter mark, we were one of the hottest teams in hockey and sitting in a playoff spot. Look at the way the leafs went out in game 7: on a larger scale, that's how the last quarter of our season went. Not enough experience.

We didn't make the playoffs because the team didn't deserve to make the playoffs by the way they played.

re-sign him or watch us poach him as a UFA. I'm dead serious, I would call Nonis day one if I were MacT, he's a perfect fit for us.
- Morris

I would literally cry if we lost him for nothing. Who cares if he will never sniff 30 goals again? Hes good for 15 while playing some of the hardest minutes in the league. Shutdown winger thats physical and can chip in. My ideal third line winger. Wish he had a clone for the other wing

I couldn't believe the "keep MacArthur, trade Kulemin" crowd. bonkers.

I bring you leaf nation

Kessel is a 50 goal scorer

Edit: 60 goal scorer

I want to see correct usage of semi-colons and nothing less!!!

And because we still have Hemsky and Horcoff..(okay I'm waiting to get bombarded by Horcoff lovers)

I just wanted to see what the one guy would say because he us acting like the sens suck because Pittsburgh beat them

what's up buddy

Your not my buddy until you say gardiner is worth more than gagner

People seem to think the Oilers need another superstar in the top 6 and they are dead wrong. All we need is a reasonable facsimile of Mikhail Renberg at 2-3 M per year.

You sir, are a big tall glass of alright;;;

Ya that jake24242 douche Leaf fan is stalking me now cuz I stomped on his Phanuef for Gagner and the 7th overall proposal.

(frank) me....
- Iggysbff

Didn't see that proposal but if true, obviously a ridiculous trade offer.

Yeah,well, if you wanna match wits with the 14 year old,go ahead.

fair enough. No matter what ended up happening with Boston, you have to be a pretty damn good team to hang in with Pittsburgh

He sucks,we will give you Porter for him and just to make it fair we will add Fistric

My point to him was why would we give up a young 2C and a top draft choice for a guy that is UFA in a year? People just don't seem to understand asset management these days...

You sir, are a big tall glass of alright;;;
- ruttager17

That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me since September 26th 2009....


In other news, September 27th will be my fourth wedding anniversary!

I'm trolling?

Youre the one coming up with the absolutely ridiculous trade scenarios...

Except your wrong by alot read a book sometime

Though you have to admit the leafs would have crushed them because we took bruins to 7..

this blog is gonna set leafs nation a flame
- TheNugeIsHuge

You gotta admit, Cloutier has lost his mind with this one. His thoughts here are even more ridiculous than usual.

I think theyre both good young players. But your hate for gardiner (or Leaf fans perception of Gardiner) is really annoying.
Gardiner was a top 4 D, (3rd in D minutes) in his rookie season, and handled it very well. This past year he was in the AHL during the lockout and to get up to speed after a concussion. Also, there was no rush to bring him up as Tor had a bunch of D doing decently and would have to clear waivers to get sent back down.
I think Gardiner is similar to schultz at this point, young top 4 PMD with the potential to be a top 2. Mind you, to inexperienced top 4 PMD. Simple as that.

#3 on the team that had the 2nd most GA

Whatever, he seems to know so much
- 6Karlsson5

He's allright. Just a kid, but he can be sorta funny here and there, and overall is only semi retarded. Trust me. We have much worse regulars on here. Or didn't you here that Edmonton has a better D than Boston?
