Also, Dallas' goal is pretty squarely on Matthews. Needs to cover the slot there.

He better be careful or he will end up on the 4th line centering Martin and.... Hyman... obviously.

He was actually covering Benn. You can see it on the reply, him looking over his right shoulder to where Benn was. Hainsey left Seguin open to go to Radulov after Gardiner pulled a Gardiner.



Edit: I don’t regret this post!

Drafted by the expos is the future MLB expansion (e5)

He's wearing a angel hat?

You must know him personally...

My reasoning is this.

Cole > Polak

But both play the same kind of game, only on opposite sides.

Babcock wants a "Polak" out there.

Babcock doesn't seem to like Moore nor Leivo. Both are cheap and the Penguins need a 4th line centre that is above AHL level.


Rielly-Hainsey
Gards-Zaitsev
Cole-Carrick

is better in my opinion than a Borgman-Polak bottom pairing that really gets caught with their lack of speed and overaggressiveness.

Let Cole walk next year just like Moore would walk and Leivo lost to waivers or something. Bring back Borgman who should be improved with some serious minutes on the Marlies.

He's old and he's only played 8 games this year. I don't know why Babcock runs Andersen into the ground and refuses to play McElhinney more often but it's probably because he knows he can't really be trusted to play more than he is right now. The Leafs do need an upgrade at back-up because Andersen playing 70 games a year isn't a good habit to get into. The Leafs have two guys playing great for the Marlies, one of which has proven he can play in the NHL before and both are younger with more potential going forward.

MakeASavey has better GAA and SV% than Andersen.

He was franking awesome last night. He’s been terrific for a guy with such low volume of work.

“Hot in the AHL” means jack-poop for goalies.

Do you even watch the games?

Say hi to Tanner for me.

If he's so awesome, why is the volume of work so low?

I could ask the same question of your weiner.

The marlins would never have traded Yelich straight up for Bo...they would have wanted other pieces/prospects.
No clue who.
But it wouldnt just be Bo.
- Fakepartofme

ok..yes I agree

He's wearing a angel hat?

Yeah, he is.

Might not be great to go 70 games a season but lou and company got Brodeur to play basically 70+ games for 13 seasons and that seemed to work out ok. Few vezinas and stanley cups in the mix. Not saying anderson is brodeur now but it's been proven it can work. Plus Brodeur also had Niedermayer and Stevens in front of him and played a defensive trap system which at the end of the day certainly made his numbers better then they would have been with any other team.

If he comes cheap, and has the ability to be moved between the A and the Leafs...

- Chardcore709

Brodeur played 70 games and you named the defenders yourself that had him play games where he faced as few as 6 shots in a game. Andersen faces the most shots in the league because the defense allows it and because he has started more games than any other goalie. If they had a more capable back-up, maybe that wouldn't be the case.

Both are nowhere as fun as strongmen competitions.

To enter or watch?

Just had a look at Pittsburg D stats.
The first question that comes into my mind is.. What the (frank) has happened so far this season

They have very decent possession numbers... but the goal results are total poop
Letang 54.92 CF% and goals for/against 25-46

They are in a playoff spot at the moment with some extreme terrible luck it looks like.
So put some sheckles on them winning a lot down the stretch

- bixll

To watch, I'm guessing the firemen exercice would be less extreme to enter.

(I would still suck at both)

I do have decent experience chopping wood tough.

I swear to goodness: going to a darts competition is high on my bucket list.

Kinda looks like you can get pissed drunk and just shout poop.

Still can't believe they won the cup without Letang last year.

They'll always be dangerous as long as Crosby and Malking are there.

Meh, Cole is like a slightly younger Polak.. The player to target from Pittsburgh is Frankie Corrado.

Nobody has played more hockey than the Penguins the past two years. They're tired of the grind. Hard to stay motivated when you've already won two Cups in a row. Also had some injuries, Murray hasn't been the best, no Fleury to fall back on.

Dude, 100% agree.

I went to Ireland 5 years ago and they held the darts world championship there at the same time.

Every pub was going crazy every single day for a week. It was awesome.

Hes still playing great...no matter what age.
playing great in the ahl.....doesnt mean much in the NHL.
Mcbackup is cheap and has bee really good.
he'll be back next season...unless traded

Still can't believe they won the cup without Letang last year.

you didnt even mention their leading scorer
