This is the Leafs thread, where we want to keep trolling out of it, if you rather post in another thread, go for it.

Here is my honest opinion of the leafs, reimer is solid and I think he's should be number 1. The leafs don't need to trade for a number one. The defence is average, Gardner will be a gem and dion is way over rated. The rest are average. The forwards have a few bright spots, ex grabovski, frattin, and even kadri looks good. Kessel is not a leader and I really don't think he's the future in Toronto. My honest opinion for a guy who can't stand the leafs. Not that my opinion matters but a outsiders view

Pittsburgh did a great job of it, the lottery came about because of some teams tanking intentionally.

In this case, it is the fans that say it, to me it is disgraceful, my opinion.

See, that is fine, join the discussion and have your say, that is all we ask. All other team posters are welcomed here as long as they join the convo and have something to contribute.

i agree, i also find in olympics you sometimes see someone on purposely losing so they dont have to play vs their own country (ping pong) good example of that korean team that got disqualified.

anyone who plays a sport to on purposely lose is pathetic!

well at least you got it right that gbov, frattin and the dream are all gamers.

and yes, dion cant hit the net or lay a big hit yet. he's irritating me.

Schenn's gonna knock Kessel out of the lineup for the remainder of the season. He will finish with 0 goals on the year.
- Feeling Glucky?

At this rate, Kessel just might knock Schenn out for the year. And Philly just might thank him for it.

I don't think I've ever seen Kessel do so many different things just a half dozen games into the year.

Enforcer next?

What Pittsburgh did was a disgrace if only because it almost cost their city (a good hockey city) their franchise.

Teams might lack the talent to win. But no team ever goes out and throws games like you saw those idiots do at the Olympics.

That song by Tom Cochrane, "Big Leagues", took on a whole new meaning with the birth of my son just over a year ago. I bet all dads feel the same way

damn right, and if i saw that id lose my poop, it was so pathetic!

worst i've ever seen... once saw NJD play a backup in a game that the leafs needed them to win, (last game of the season)..brodeur getting the start and W would have set a NHL record and they sat him and clemmenson played...they lost in OT (shootout i think) and we were elminated from the playoffs.

never been so pissed in my life! i get it they didnt start marty cause playoffs aroudn the corner, but i swear they wanted to lose so the leafs wouldnt be in - we were RED hot at the end of that year...FML

Ive only heard the song on the radio, never paid that close attention to the lyrics but the chorus. Well poop...

They were never, ever going to leave Pittsburgh.

Morning, my Leafy friends.

In the history of hockey, was there ever a game as boring as Saturday night's Leafs game?

Thank God they sell beer at those games.

He's definitely gotten a lot tougher this year Guy's throwing hits and battling it out in the corner like never before. Definitely buying into Carlyle's system.


IF ONLY HE'D (frank)ING SCORE.
