meh.

as long as freddy doesn't get injured, we'll finish with 100 points and get boston in the first round.

i am more curious now to see how keef does against florida later in january & Feb as well as NYR, AZ and Dallas in Feb.

looks like he's teams are adjusting (other than poopty det and buffalo) to keefe on the 2nd go around.

he seems like he's open to trying new things. i expect him to do better in the above games

Thats the only way this plays out, we know this.

I Think the Leafs take the series this time. The part that worries me is Boston has 2 good goalies and Rask is well rested for the playoffs

gardiner - Carlson
Slavin - gardiner

Leafs can trade Bracco for Yakov Trenin and Chara can do his newly found dance step.

we need to beat them.

keep their 1st line to 1 goal / game and we'll have a good chance.

No passport needed, sign him up for the US Military. He's excellent at tossing grenades.

Eventually, the leafs have to win.....they cant lose all the time to the bruins. The bruins are getting older, so it has to happen eventually.

Has to.

You're right, I forgot Jack Johnson

and Jake Gardiner

Exactly right? It's why we beat them almost half the time..

The year is 2025. After Auston Matthews goes to the Coyotes in Free Agency. The Leafs squeak into the playoffs on the backs of an aging Tavares and a plucky Mitch Marner. 47 year old Zdeno Chara crosschecks Marner in game one while playing 24 minutes of hockey and the Bruins go on to sweep the Leafs in the first round for the 7th straight season.

Hopefully it happens before Bergeron and Chara are in a wheelchair

Does Boston keep Krejci or Krug?

Interesting; You see Chara slowing down at 47?

He will retire after this season.

Why risk more injuries and not be able to enjoy retirement to it's full abilities.

as long as he can spin in a circle with his stick sticking out he'll have value

okay - i'm revisiting this trade:

Calgary: In 4th, out Frolik
Buffalo: In Frolik, out Scandella
Habs: In Scandella, out Fourth


1. lol @ habs for thinking playoffs.
2. wtf is buffalo doing??? how is a 20 point overpaid forward worth a 4th? how the (frank) is a dman playing 17 minutes a night only worth a 4th? couldn't they at least get a 2nd + b-prospect for him at the tdl?
3. good on calgary.

I think Montreal got the better of the deal(s).. Scandella is a decent defenseman and only cost a 4th rd pick

Buffalo needed to trade a defenseman. They had too many and every other team knew it. It must've depressed their value.

yup. they'll probably get a 2nd for him.

but if you were right for wrong reason, does that make you a chiarelli?
