Haha, yeah what's that about. I hate Tennis. Anywho, something about Nonis left with 6 mins left (hasn't done that all year) and was talking to MG. Prolly just needed a poop

I did not say run him out of town, i just want to see luu come here and see us have a strong tandem of luu and reimer
- Mapleleafs_91

As I've said before, if Luongo comes in, Reimer is heading out.

You get Luongo for the next 7 years, at a minimum (and hope to God he doesn't regress too badly as he ages), then you get nailed with the penalties if he retires early.

God help you if he decides to keep playing into his 40's as a $5.3 million back-up.

Is TSN good enough?

i thought you meant on 8th seeded teams winning the cup..

that link works against you.. doesn't it? 1/4 of president trophy teams win cups? 5 in 20 years?

i don't know the numbers.. but i imagine that smashes 8th seeded teams out of the park.

the playoffs are not a wild card.. they just might be for the best 4-6 teams... but not for all 16

city......
I guess Boston has a poor reputation for racism. I honestly did not know that.

Really? Ever watch the Celtics in the 80s-90's?

Oh, (frank) me i'm slow

by the end of next season.. vancouver fans are going to be a fun bunch to hang around with.

imagine that, leafs.. young.. getting better.

vancouver. (frank)ed on the cap. no future.. nothing.

Their prospect pool is absolutely abysmal. It's depressing. How they can manage to ignore the writing on the wall is beyond me. The worst part is, it's not even like they have small window of dominance anymore, that ship has sailed. The balance of power is starting to shift in the west and they're on the wrong end.

so you're suggesting there's a problem with simply signing another 4M$+ left handed shot defensemen each summer and doing nothing else?

perhaps Gillis will acquire Bouwmeester now as well... he's a bit more expensive but he's a left handed shot, and at a push he could die his hair red ...

would seem a natural fit.

The point was that the best regular season teams don't win the cup a lot... the playoffs are wide open...

I am not going to do all the leg work for you...

what do you mean? They were all so nice to Larry Bird........

Why in the world would Nonis want Luongo, Reims is playing great aside from break aways and penalty shots. Two things Luongo also is terrible at

especially when those 4.5 mil defenceman are overpaid at 3.

trading your brightest young forward for a flat footed goon and trying to label him a power forward is a good move?

yeah.. canucks are (frank)ed. and i love every minute of it.

Just read that article by Cox. He mentions that the Leafs have other options, like taking a run at Kiprusoff.

Yes, Kiprusoff, the guy who will retire if he gets traded. Cox is an ass-hat.

as in "no gillis, i do not want any girl guide cookies, (frank) off"

2 games vs rangers, 2 vs devils coming up in the next 5. 4 game winning steak would be nice eh?

Dreger also referred to Kipper as trade bait tonight for the flames..... wtf. Does nobody believe kipper?

ya I do not want to see it. Ride the young guys. get them playoff experience and increase their value and further asses what you've got. We're not beating Pittsburgh anyway.

upgrade in summer if need be, or stick with them if they prove they've got some mettle. so far, they're better than anybody thought they'd be

Actually they have back tracked since Kipper made those comments... Kypper said an extension might change his mind...

i honestly don't care enough to consider this being leg work.. i think this whole argument is foolish.

the better teams usually win the cup. you do understand that 25% is a fairly good chunk when it comes to a playoff contingent of 16 teams annually.. right?

find a site for this. i'm willing to bet that the top 4-6 teams out of the 16 in the playoffs typically win the stanley cup before the bottom 12-16 teams do. go ahead, look it up.. it's logic.

we do not play in a league where bottom seed teams win the cup every year.. the playoffs are not a crapshoot. the better talented teams typically play for the cup.

Cox alludes to fact that concerns about health of wife and child have abated in last few days...

so maybe he's open to it, especially with Iggy leaving

Don't they play Ottawa and then Philly after that?

nonis didn't tell him to fist himself and then die in a fire.. so they considered talks resuming again..

(frank)ing luongo? kipper? why?

They're terrified that they're all going to be staring blankly at tv cameras with nothing to say on deadline day.

Hopefully it changes the Leafs mind too..

hmm..

my only issue then is that he's been terrible this year. He literally has not played a single game over .900 this year. just aweful stuff.

Mabye the lockout screwed his whole preparation regime and then the premi-baby (frank)ed with his head. I don't know, but he's been terrible.
