meh, I don't see anything all that special about him.
- LeafMan

You should watch him more. He is excellent.

Anyhoo, loss on 2nd of btb. Wouldnt worry too much.

Oilers are so bi-polar I dont know what to think anymore.

1 note from last nights game.

Tampa Bay has poop ice.

I understand the role he is in, but he just doesn't seem to have any snarl in his game.
Obviously they are not generating any offense, but doesn't have the same bite and competitive edge as the past couple seasons.
- Barx

He's getting older.. So yeah, I can see the mellowing in him as well.

Not something that concerns me too much tho, so long as he embraces a more cerebral role. He's got the talent to be a top notch shut down forward, tho he seems to be on a slow learning curve admittedly. Once he figures it out tho I think we will all be pleasantly surprised.

That's awesome, because that's not what was being talked about.
- burn

Actually it was...

A team playing poorly wouldn't give you that sense of security...

I disagree with you. Keeping shots to the outside and not taking stupid chances offensively.

They're finally playing good hockey actually. Last night was just a matter of a well rested team vs a tired one.
- Dozzer

Leafs looked tired and off their game in their own end. Phaneuf had trouble clearing the puck and JVR and Kessel were very soft on the boards during breakouts. Hope they do better on Thursday against the Sabres.

Hedman makes me green with envy of Tampa. Hes becoming so good.
- sanfordnson

I hope the Leafs can trade Kadri for MPS- the next Forsberg!

How many 18 year olds can put up 29 points in a men's league!?!?!??!!??????!!??!

grabovski need a legit top 6 winger, hes been playing with mac and kule for years and they are 2nd / 3rd line tweeners, i think we can all agree with that.

i saw a few shifts when it was grabovski and kadri together, itw as deadly dangerous..

this is why lupul needs to come back. frattin too to round out the third line.

CMON BoYS HEAl Up
- big_dion

It's hard to tell right now if it's Grabovski dragging Kulemin down or vice versa.
They both seem to be going through the motions without a lot of the tenacity they both possess.

i hope thats a joke, this guy is a block head.

hes putting up poitns because tampa is full blown run and gun with incredible forwards.

hedman is 230 pounds and kadri showed him who's boss...lol the muslim missle through a flurry of cluster bombs!

the dream!!!
- big_dion

I like Kadris little bulldog style but, showed him whod boss? Cmon. Loss aside and being objective about his all round game, the guy is excellent.

Gonna stop now cause Im starting to feel lime Pierre Maguire.

and im not just saying this because im bitter from the loss!

Not that different than the ACC.

- Feeling Glucky?

Laugh if you will. Watched much of MPS this year? Numbers still slower in coming but hes looked great.

No beer last night on a Zamboni nor the roof bar. I am a Florida snowbird so everyday is a warm weather vacation.

What type of surgery scar is your avatar? Huge scar so not ACL or ankle.
- Leafsandbolts

Just had some sun damaged skin (basal-cell carcinoma) removed from my shoulder.

It was fun sending the picture around, but I'm getting tired of explaining to people that it really is nothing - they just froze the skin, cut it out and sewed it back up (a good 18-20 stitches).

I initially didn't care that I might have a scar, but now I'm worried that for the rest of my life, people are going to be expecting a good bear attack or reconstructive surgery after roller derby accident story - and I'm going to have to say, "No, nothing like that - just make sure you put Coppertone on when you go to the beach."

It may be time to change the old avatar again...

kadri weighs 185
hedmen weighs 230

kadri landed a few solid punches in that scrum, hedman sat there like a goof and looked stunned.

i give kadri props to that big time, showed he was pissed they were losing and wanted to spark the team, i like it...a lot.

That's not what was said.

Last night? Carolina?
- burn

we were talking about fla and ott

TRADE IDEA

DET
N.Kulemin

TOR
Gustav Nyquist

Thoughts?

- Leafsandbolts

You and I see thugs the same.

The leafs looked bagged. Bet we see a team with far more jump Thursday.

Ask big dion.. Texted him last night saying the same thing.. No jump at all

Did you see the Panthers game?

The ice even looked terrible. It looked grey.

- Barx

have you seen kule rush the puck in and drive the net once and actually get a good shot off?

not once! its mind blowing...

he is so solid and he has 0 intensity in his game, if i had his body i would be a wild animal, look at Komarov!!! kulemin needs to be hog tied and watch footage of tucker, frattin and Komarov and learn how to play like a canadian. cause thats how those guys play! canadian or not! Komarov i love this guy, maybe not getting a lot of output but he does a lot of other thigns great. his two way play and forecheck are top notch.

Me too. I like Kadri this year. Swedes arent exactly known for mixing it up outside of some like Kronwall. Looked like Hedman was surprised it was happening at all and was deciding whether to squash him or not.

yep totally true, and i agree'd - leafs had some jump in the first then just slowly got worse and worse...

meh, I don't see anything all that special about him.

Trying to think of the last player drafted out of the SEL that wasn't disappointing.

Johansen and Gunnarson is what I can think of.

Not a great league to draft from.

yeah florida ice in general sucks IMO.

Maybe he gets really good, all I saw was an average player.
