grabovski i admit hasnt looked as great this year, BUT, thats not a horrible thing...it means he is hungry to get it going and will work hard at it *he is that type of player.

i think part of it is his line mates, kulemin and komarov, sure both good 2 way players, but lack offense.

Lupul returning will add some top 6 depth and u can either keep JVR with phil and bozak or you toss lupul back up there and JVR grabovski kulemin will be much more dangers offensively...back when lupul was playing on line 1. grabovski and JVR showed they can work together.

frattin back soon, lupul 2-3 weeks, gardiner is ready, reimer skating again..

looking good.

A lot of players that played in the K, while the lockout was on, are off to a slow start.. many of them.. hmmmm

My major concern is his giveaways at the blue line and up the middle in his own zone, I can accept the little offence until he gets going only if he was being responsible in his own end of the ice, which he is not lately.
- LeafMan

agreed hes gotta pick up his socks.

yep, ive noticed that too.

Reimer in Feb 2012.
- LeafMan

actually it was march 10th/11th last season.

wait, no, we were shut out in those games

When was the last time the Leafs had back to bac shutouts????
- bixll

Didn't Gus do this last year when Reimer went down?

Got used to the big ice is my bet.

Too many passes by defencemen up the middle last night.

I know the commentators were all over Grabbo for his gaffe in the 1st period, but it was a terrrible pass - never should have happened.
- Atomic Wedgie

the pass from Franson - agreed, bad pass, but yeah, gbov is struggling.

Thanks for cursing it.

Jerk-face.

Really, back to back, I didn't think he had that on his resume...so, what the frank do we need Lou for.?
- bixll

To help out the Canucks.

Got used to the big ice is my bet.
- Feeling Glucky?

Laid back style, big ice...safe planes, has to be something ...

actually it was march 10th/11th last season.
- Feeling Glucky?

I didn't look it up, I remembered he had back to back shutouts around this time last season.

edit: February 1 and February 4, 2012

Trade for Hiller

Gunnar had some pretty awful plays. First playing time in awhile though.

Even Steve Simmons is being hot on the Leafs with positive talk... is the world ending or something...


He should be eating the most CROW over this Goalie Tandem..
- DoctorNHL

Steve Simmons....yeah the guy that yelled Fire Burke, Fire Burke constantly.
I'm fed up with the media it's like they think we forget all the idiotic things they've said since Burke arrived.
Kadri - Many wrote him off as a bust and was included in every trade rumor out of Toronto.
Bozak- Turned out alright.
Phaneuf- for Stajan, White, Mayer an effin steal
Kessel - Hell of a player and when we have the parts to go with him he'll be dynamite, an the loss of Seguin and Hamilton will hurt less.
James Van Riemsdyk - The only 2nd overall pick Unholy Goalie doesn't like.
Gardiner -
Lupul...
Macarthur
Orr
All these wieners in the media called for his head daily after losses piled up. Not to mention they all talked about building from within but when it took more than 75 games to rebuild well the Superfan in the media types went apepoop...
Trade Kadri he's 22 and not going to pan out, get a goalie Reimer could be flash in the pan and so on and so on....
Remind these loser's in the media how they cover a 27th place hockey team with such intensity. It's because their superfans and they can't control there emotions. It's a shame the Greatest Hockey City has some of the dumbest beat writer's in the history of professional sports. Not only horrible writers but create controversies and run with stupid stories constantly.
Damian "closet homo" Cox wonders why nobody want to sign in Toronto...

Your words are music to my ears!

I can't wait to leave work and set up shop at home. Plan is, build a pyramid of beer bottles and make sure by the end of the game whether we lose or not, rebuild the pyramid with empties.

Frank Them...

Lunch time..

I didn't look it up, I remembered he had back to back shutouts around this time last season.
- LeafMan

Yea, no, those were Leafs being shut out in back-to-back games that I posted


You were right, Feb 1st and 4th vs Pittsburgh and Ottawa

And I'll say this again, for no other reason that people here seem to be reminded of it:

Phaneuf continues to be the best Leafs defenceman out there.

In fact, it's not even close.

Cut down in minutes and Holzer playing really well with him.

He's turned it on the last week and a half, and look what happens. The team starts winning.

Trade for Hiller

Cut down it minutes and Holzer playing really well with him.

- big_dion

He looks good to, complete 180 from his first few games. Puck isn't a hand grenade for him anymore.
