Well yeah, that's why I'm saying now we can be competitive with the Bruins. Year before last we didn't have a chance against them.
- Zezel

The year before last was a one year blip.

No kidding...judging by our .939% it's obviously not working.

The simple fact that Kessel produces at a PPG in the playoffs makes it easy tp get over. We'll be fine.

I will take 34 saves and 1 softy vs 2 goals and no softies any day of the week
- jribout

He was hardly tested, and that's 2 joke goals in 11 games for the guy. Are we still assuming he's gonna win the starting job? Mistake, IMO.

You don't care that we're getting great goaltending under the current system? What exactly are your goals for this team?
- djamon

We'd be getting great goaltending the suggested way as well, its the same goaltenders...what are you talking about? I'm saying to start each for a string of games to see what they can do over the course of a few games put together. Same stats, we get it, want to see if we have starters or backups. Starters can string a few great games together, backups can play a few good games in relief.

Hate Best Buy. Haven't been in a Best Buy in 2 years & will never go again. I bought a movie from them & it didn't work. I returned it, got another copy, same sh*t, it didn't work. I refused to exchange it for another copy for the 3rd time.
The bastards gave me such a hard time. Wouldn't give me a refund, or even store credit. After having it out with the idiot manager, eventually I got a store credit. I vowed never to step in that store again. I mean if their going to be such a-holes over a fricken DVD, forget about it.
- GCHonda

Since you wont go back can I have your store credit please

If only you would apply this work ethic for the good of society.
- djamon

So instead of me being on HB 24/7, seven days a week including holidays, well except when I am at work, and sitting here broke, I could be putting my time to better use? Like using my untapped creativity to FINALLY make my life long dream come true & write a book & becoming a well paid author & having my books sold in book stores all across the North America & mabie the world?

Is that what your saying????????


Yeah but I love u guys too much, I'd miss u guys.

You have no idea we'd be getting the same great goaltending if one guy got to play 10 in a row. None.

As long as both are playing great in the current system nothing should change.

Since you wont go back can I have your street credit please
- jribout

I've never used it. I know it's still good. Iit's buried somewhere in the house. I aint gonna look for it at this time, but if I ever find it, you can have it.

That is exactly my point, lets see what we have.

We have two starters, period.

- djamon

I am not assuming anything.... Both are playing well play them both.... just tired of us looking for everything negative when overall some players have been pretty good....

.936 and 2.17 for a team in which its fans keep female doging about how bad our D is.... again I will take the 2 soft goals

We have two starters, period.
- A_Tree

I believe we do as well, but I would like to see them tested as starters.

The year before last was a one year blip.
- djamon

Well we had one year blips of being not competitive eight years in a row

Sure now that I dumped Giroux off my HBSL team he scores his 1st today

Essentially it boils down to who strings a couple of lousy games together first. I hope we don't see that.

No matter what anyone says you just got UG on everyone's ass. Your credibility is very low, and things you say stand no ground. You act like you are the righteous one seeing everything that others don't.

Well, they were playing the poopty Oilers, after all. Remember the team we're all jealous of and would trade our team for. Yea, those Oilers.

I agree with you. Rolling on and off isn't a good thing when it comes to playoffs but it's working for now. I'm guessing within the next couple months he will be testing your theory.

That was then, this is now.

- Zezel

But not against Boston. The year before that we won the season series.

Yes indeed. The Edmonton Underachiever Oilers. Where highly touted can't miss future NHL franchise players go to poop the bed.

Not what, but whom.

He who must not be named.


Shhhhhhh......

But not against Boston. The year before that we won the season series.
- djamon

Sure, but Boston was still a better team that year, by far. My point is the Leafs can possibly compete with them in the standings and in the playoffs now, which is progress.
