Claude 'bout to go HAM tonight

So it's fair to judge a player's play even if the team is awful from top to bottom? I'm sorry but Ottawa is ten times the team Toronto is and I'll judge the player after he's out of such a poisonous situation. They made him Captain day one. Based on what experiences?

Kessel's on pace for a lower output than any season in Toronto though

Morganti just said he chose Read for his standout star because he looked at his Corsi and zone entries.



Best part. Boruk asks what Corsi is. Morganti says he doesn't have enough time to get into it. That's why I prefer Panotch. He doesn't beat around the bush: gives you the hit numbers, the TOI, combined +/-. Short, simple. Easy peasy.

Are you agreeing with my point or disagreeing??

He's a good western Canadian with grits?

That was on Brian Burke/Ron Wilson anyway. New regime is trying to undo all the poop JFJ/Burke/Nonis left in their wake.

But the Pens aren't ten times the team Toronto is tho... they aren't exactly the Sens.

Were these magic grits?

Wow. Season ticket holder from the get go. That's awesome

No trade or no movement clauses have zip to do with what any team gets in return. If memory serves, Richards' clause kicked in on July 1st prior to being dealt. Holmgren made a fantastic deal. ESPN is reporting the move was made to create space for Steven Stamkos. This only alludes to my post of trading minor league players we don't talk about or care about to get JvR back. Toronto is a stupid organization and Stamkos would be committing career suicide by going there.

not being a Richard, but i just cant simply see the logic here.

wont disagree that toronto has been pretty stupid, and that i would not go there if im stammer. but as to that first part. i just cant get on board.

solid coverage in front

Never ends

nice useless hooking penalty, g. put your team down a man.

9:30 in, 1 shot on goal. 1 bad penalty. 1-0 score. let's see if they can tie this game. they're so good at protecting leads, ya' know. i'm sure there just as good at coming back.
