I couldn't care what he makes. It started with the Bozak is poop talk and then I pointed out that Carlyle has him on the ice more then any other forward and for some reason morons on here seem to read that I said he's awesome.

Bozak is poop on offense.

He's a third line center. I do think he could play that role half-decently if we had that option.

But he shouldn't see the ice on the power play and isn't a top sixer, except by default right now.

Would you agree with any of that?

Where did I say that?
- honesthockey



And again always the justifications. So why is he on the ice more then any other forward?
- honesthockey



So he's better than Kessel???

How does his icetime say anything about his skill?
- honesthockey


Ok I go slow for you ok?

Bozak, 1c, default, plays responsible with two run and gun line mates, whiffs

Grabovski, 2c, shutdown/still provides offence threat (bozak not do this so well)

Kadri, 3c, secondary scoring/insulation (bozak not do this so well)

You must have to be a schizo to stay a fan. Frank they look horrible - zero depth I mean phaneuf is our #1 and he's horrendous same as Reimer - ride Scrivens not that he's any better - with so much to upgrade its almost like we are a new franchise. Maybe if we cry like the Habs back in the day we can get some special treatment.

We are saying we are deep @ D???? Kostka? Holtzer? Phaneuf? Fraser? I could probably keep going but I'm tired of typing on the Ipad

Wow, if the Leafs are that bad, the entire NHL must really, really suck right now.
- Zezel

Taped last night game and just finished watching - maybe it's to soon but man they stunk and no we are falling down the standings and not climbing. We need to be getting better as the year goes on...not stay the same as other teams actually start to gel - looks like last year - play well teams get their crap together - leafs plummet.

I don't get it. Are you still a fan or not?

Why aren't you totally apathetic to all this, then?

Bozak is poop at scoring points. Agreed.

I like a true shutdown guy at 3 and think McClemment would be great there. Disagree.

Bozak on the PP. Meh whatever and yeah he's suited most for a top six role. Disagree.

So I agree with the first point in a sense.

So Why hasn't anyone taken the job or in 3 seasons of the same talk hasn't it been fixed?

To Dave Nonis & Randy Carlyle:


Please send Holzer & Koztka to the Marlies, bring up Gardiner & dress Liles. Liles is not that bad. What did he do so bad to get permanently benched?

I disagree ...at least not on my team. He's a top 6 centre .....on a bad team.

He's poop on defense too, save for the draw. That might be enough though. I think at the end of the day, we still need that number 1 center. With a legit, big bodied center, everything falls into place and we move some unneeded pieces at the deadline (MacArthur, Bozak, maybe even Grabovski), build a proper 3rd checking line with McClement and somebody else dynamite on the draw with Kulemin on the wing as a tweener filling in top 6.

Or maybe we move Kessel and our leftover pieces for a legit #1 center and move Lupul to his natural wing and keep JVR on the left.

I believe it. I'm just shocked that Sherman Hemlsey who was very successful as a tv actor would have very little left in his estate.

He gets minutes because he's on the top line.

He's on the top line because there isn't a piece that fits in there better right now, unfortunately.
