Putting this out there:

I saw Batman V Superman last night and I didn't think it was half as horrible as I was expecting. I actually kind of liked it *braces for impending ridicule*

No idea how that happened.

Anyway, (I've had a couple, but let this sink in) the Leafs traded Luke Schenn (LUKE SCHENN) for JVR

Will constructive critisism be tolerated?
- Scabeh


Constructive Criticism evokes negative feelings. Instead put a positive spin on it and use the term Constructive Feedback.

Agreed. It's make believe guys with make believe super powers fighting in a make believe city. If you're not going in expecting The Godfather you'll be fine.

I missed seeing a lot of the big blockbusters over the last while. Looks like I have some heavy torrenting to do!

If you wrote a blog on why Komarov sucks, I'd read it.

better idea... write a blog about how the Leafs are scouting Vesey and will sign him come August 15th...

even though the fan base really doesn't care.

So it should be settled before Aug 2nd so they know their cap space and whether they have to explore other buyout options.

- mykokes

I know that many of you wanted me to write a blog about Komarov, because quite frankly I'm smarter than all of you, and that includes all the GMs and other NHL executives who make money doing hockey stuff while I sweep the spilled sprinkles off the floor at Menchies.

Basically, I'm a genius. But I'm so smart, nobody else can fully comprehend how smart I am.

Lucky for you, I'm going to let you in on my geniousness.

Komarov sucks. No, it's true. I'm going to lay it out for you, but I couldn't possibly think you will understand it.

1. Look at his Robertson scatter-plot adjusted zone poke-check differentials:



Obviously we aren't going to heavily weight his efforts on Tuesdays in away buildings, because stuff. If you adjust for some sort of bias I can't really describe, it's obvious Komaraov is a God.



2. Komarov gets a lot of offensive zone starts with Gardiner, so obviously his Harrington zippity-blippity benchmark T-quadrant indicators are off. I mean, just take a look:



I look forward to calling you all idiots in response to your posts.

Oh, and I've never actually watched an NHL game live.

Thanks for reading!

- BorjeFan4Ever

Not saying our prospect pool is insanely good (yet), but would Vesey get in over Marner, Brown, Nylander (should be a centre), Soshnikov, Hyman?

I don't know, but I don't see a spot for him. Mike loves players like Hyman and Soshnikov to go with the skilled guys.

I just don't see a fit for Vesey
