is the game over ? , no they could just score 4 on us in the 2nd we got lucky that's about it ..

Baby steps Gizmo....baby steps.

Just like the season goes one game at a time, a game goes one period at a time. If our D was that bad, they would have put up at least 1.

It's not great, I'll give you that. But it's currently doing it's job.

Johnson seems to be reading the play well and getting himself into the shooting lanes.
- sskkoo1

Agree.
I am pleasantly surprised thus far with the whole teams play not just Johnson's.

The way your brain works really is fascinating sometimes. We just held the highest scoring team from last year to 0 goals and have the backup goalie in.

And held arguably the best goal scorer in the league to zero shots on goal

Love how Eichel couldn't stop laughing at Legwand's avatar.

put it on tv more, that grows the sport


olympics come around, people are interested, then nbc may show an afternoon game

instead of showing 2-4 games a month, nbc should be showing 10 a month


the nbc sports network should be showing 15 games a week


and as for the music, it does bother a lot of people in the 40-60 year old price range, the ones buying the higher cost tickets


when I ran a retail business, the music had to be a selection that would not offend anyone, you'd be surprised to find out how many people walk out of businesses that play that music




and there is nothing wrong with the sabre dance

- homiedclown



Yeah, good luck finding music that doesn't offend anyone. And as an aside people need to lighten the (frank) up. Just in general.


I agree there needs to be more games on, Just do a "Hockey Night in America" on Saturday nights on NBC/NBC Sports, it's not like they show anything worthwhile from 7-10 on NBC anyway. Then flip over to NBC sports for the late game, and then have a matinee on Sundays. And make sure to not just play Pens/Caps, or Rangers Flyers every other game. Mix in some small market teams like Columbus, Dallas isn't really a "small" market but for hockey they are, Buffalo, and Nashville and throw in the Habs, Sens, Leafs for good measure. Although I would watch Flames Canucks every weekend for the late game. It's always an entertaining game.

I was definitely smiling and laughing right along with them during that. Some of the guys were really good at it. Pysyk and Foligno were pretty spot on.

I be willing to let the kid go for a top 4 defensemen only because we have such depth at center. But, I still think is value hasn't been reached yet. I bet the whole fan base and the league will be taking notice of him by the end of the season. We should hold onto him for a bit.

Currently you'd have to give up a lot more than just Larsson to get a top 4 guy. He's much more valuable on the roster right now than he would be as the main piece of a trade.

if you want a quick fix for the D for the next 4 years, get Dion Phaneuf

I agree we would have to add to the trade, but I'm saying if we hold onto him for the season, and he keep progressing like he is, then I don't think a decent 3-4 defensemen for him is out of the question. Larsson looks like his ceiling will be as a solid 3C that can sometimes fill in as a 2c.

Meant to say NOT out of the question for him.

His contract is so awful. And I honestly feel like he's very overrated.

If they score, the fans would make noise to the barney song


true story

- homiedclown


No, this is not a true story. The song creates a better atmosphere. You can either learn to like it or be miserable about it the rest of the season.

(Not directed at you just general for the fanbase)

contract IMO would not be an issue for the next few years

can run a pp

can clear the front of the net

decent passer

and when you think the contact is bad
he has 6 years at 7 per, petry just got 5.5 for 6 years

it's workable as long as expectations are he is a 2/3 d man not the number 1

His contract is terrible and I don't think he is a top 2 on a good team (on this team probably)

Larsson and a 2nd is most I would do and I would still try to have Toronto eat celery
