He then went on to be one of Schenns biggest critics.


So now, he's on twitter trying to pick up underage chicks with hockey players as their pictures


What a (frank)ing loser.

Interesting fact, the picks we traded up to get Biggs.....I believe ended up being used to select John Gibson (team USA's jr goalie who played freakin amazing).
Now which American would you want? A 3rd liner or a pretty darn good goalie prospects?

- Fakepartofme

Doesn't matter which American we would want.

What makes you think we would of selected Gibson?

Besides, Jack Campbell was also a pretty good American goalie prospect... Look what happened to him.. He sucks.

I always get a chuckle when the Leafs trade a draft pick that fans think the Leafs would have picked the exact player as the team they traded it to.

Don't you just love that? The players that are picked with our picks by oher teams would automatically be the exact same players had we picked them.

The Americans seem to play as a team more than we have. They have also seemed to rise to the occassion more often than not.

The Candians are always favored, so it nver appears that we rise to an occassion, because we are expected to do so.

I hear ya but rather than trading pick the Leafs could have used it to take a goaltender...

For a team thats had goaltender troubles like forever they sure ignored it at the draft...

Hell JFJ drafted what??..3 goaltenders..Burke drafted one in the 7th round 2 yrs ago..

I sure hope that Nonis thinks goaltender in future drafts..

If Leafs were gonna trade Rielly or Gardiner, a guy like Benn is who it should be for...

Funny thing, that 7th rounder is outperforming a lot of goalies taken, Sparks is having a great year, goalies are hard to read for the most part, Subban crapped the bed in the WJC.

Nothing is guaranteed.
But, what are we in need of, goalie prospects or 3rd/4th liners?
Just food for thought.

actually this would have been better. if we didnt make that trade, could have still taken Percy (I really like his game, very steady dman, great vision, he is leading the Steelheads right now, not in points, but just can turn it on whenever the game is on the line, ex. vs sudbury, they were down by 4 and he put up a goal and 2 assists to bring them within 1 goal), then with the 30th pick take Boone Jenner, and the 39th pick, Brandon Saad.

Exactly. It's why I laugh when people say "WE TRADE GIBBONS FOR TAYLOR BIGGS!!!!.. FIRE BOURKE... FIRE NOUNIS!!!"


Uh. no. We traded a draft pick.

Owuya, Rynnas, Scrivens and Sparks.


What are we in need of? A goalie prospect, or size and grit who will most likely make the Leafs?


Like I said, what makes you think Gibbons would be a Leafs prospect right now if we didnt trade up?

Its like Sunday afternoon golf. You can be a stud all week, until Sunday afternoon rolls around, the men are quickly separated from teh boys.

Same in hockey, when the pressure is on, who stands tall. Hard to scout for, as well. Can't wait for Saturday night.

No we have not won a cup.

But in the last 5 years we have won 240 games. Leafs have one 170.

We have won 27 playoff games, the leafs 0.

No cup, but a lot more fun to be a Nucks fan.

Oh and we did pick in the first round the last 2 years.

- caighil


Canucks won so many more games...too bad nothing to show for it...
The only thing that matters: 13-0

Liar. You wanted them to draft some bum who fell to the 5th round.
