Damn you Marty!

Bouillon is -10 on a team with a plus-15 goal differential in 25 games?
that is ghastly, regardless of what you think of the stat.
and i don't see why Parros would draw in against the Leafs at this point.
- DoubleDown

Like I said, easier argument to make to keep him out.
I wouldn't change anything about that fourth line.

But I do wonder, if you're not going to play Parros against the Leafs, when are you going to play him.

I'll bet he plays.

Yes. Him and Malkyn. AND KADRI!
- Pecafan Fan

Son's of female doges....all of them!

they're gonna get another lottery pick too. ridiculous.
- DoubleDown

Think they'll pick another forward?

marty = stee basically

you take a look at the way they're messing Grigorenko up and yeah I tend to agree maybe he just needs to get out of Buffalo to a team where someone can just reset him.

not sure how a franchise that keeps screwing up young players is going to go about the rebuild.

it'll be pretty fun to watch though.

Buffalo isn't really a great environnment to develop young players especially since they traded away pretty much all their experienced vets. In Grigorenko's case though, you have to say that the kid is a lazy bum. He is so effortless...

I don't know. I haven't seen him play much since he never really plays but he's got KHL written all over him.

No.....Marty leaves and never comes back....several times a year.

5) Say what you will about Douglas Murray. I gather most of it will be insulting. I promise you his teammates appreciate what he does bring. Not because he got cut open by John Scott's monstrous reach, but because he didn't hesitate for a second after Scott took a swipe at Brian Gionta.

That took a lot of balls Eric.

Good on him for that.

NHL is the bestest hockey league in the world...yet, guys like Scott plays in it.

Plus he makes the rest of the team look super quick.

he's on the 4th line with John Scott, I dunno how that's motivational

No...but I could see Kadri for Kane.
Two skilled idiots.

Indeed.

Gotta say, I love what Murray brings to the team.

He's slow as hell but I've rarely seen anyone as strong and solid on his skates as he is.

Still better than Gallagher's.

if this was last year, yeah, play him. but i don't think Orr and Mclaren are playing much of a role in Toronto these days and they're a bit of a mess right now while things are working for Montreal with a 4th line that doesn't scare the crap out of us. i'd maintain the status quo and just play hockey.
as for when Parros draws back in... when things head south and the team needs a shakeup.

Indeed.

He's so solid on his skates that he can't move!

Love to have him in a habs jersey for a game against Boston.

No...but I could see Kadri for Kane.

With Buff leaving soon, they'll need a guy with the potential to eat minutes. Plus, Grigorenko still has a SHOT at becoming a star...

You'd think Buffalo would be an ideal place for kids to develop what with the lack of party atmosphere. They should be able to focus on hockey. Regier was just so bad, nothing was going to work right...
