Really? Burny? We are hockey FANS, not hockey PLAYERS... we do not need to add "y" to our names.

OMFG Stastny? Really? And we don't wanna pay Phaneuf but are ok with a $6.6 million dollar player who since signing the deal has steadily gone down hill in production? Jesus what a (frank)ed up group.
- honesthockey


Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
Stastny to Toronto is not an upgrade - as a matter of fact, while Bozak's numbers have been getting improving the last few years, as you mentioned, Stastny's numbers have been declining. Replacing Stastny for Bozak next year might actually make this team worst.

If anything, they should be trying to trade for Duchene...but a big NO to Stastny

Hi

Yes to Statsny, no to his contract.

If he gets bought out, then have at it

- lumlums



what would make you think he would get bought out? The Avs wont buy him out. Theyre miles under the cap with a near full roster, and their most pressing need, D, is getting a boost with Seth Jones this summer.

The big thing for me in this is that we KNOW Bozak works with Kessel. How can we ever be sure a player like Stastny would?

You are right about 17 and Carlyle had no one to tap on the shoulder and say "stop him now".
- honesthockey



Carlyle admitted his mistake :

"we should have kept skating".

The leafs are a speed team, and were skating circles around Boston throughout the series. When they were using their speed they couldn't handle them.

I don't think one guy (clarkson) changes the outcome of game 7. The only way to change it is continue what got them in that position in the first place. They stopped doing it, and got burned.

Its hard to tell if this is a serious question. How can anyone think that Stastny is better than Bozak? How could anyone think trading Phaneuf - a guy who I now for a fact got Norris trophy votes - should be traded? This is all insane.

Do not under any circumstances aquire P. Stastny.

It was as plain as the nose on your face that Lucic got pissed turned his game up a notch and we couldn't handle him. Exactly what happened in game 7. And Carlyle had no one to tap to fix it.

Every time the Leafs got the puck in the defensive zone they turned to the boards and tried to pin it there. They stopped skating. Lucic was able to do what he does because the Leafs stood there and let him. they got into the position by outskating the Bruins, and they let the bruins back into it by stopping skating.

The leafs never tried to make a play in the last 10 mins.

You think clarkson can stop lucic when he's on a rampage?? If he was here he'd have been doing the same thing..... trying to pin against the wall, trying to slow down the game (which plays right into the bruins hands), trying to run out the clock.

The leafs best asset is speed and skill. Their worst is defensive zone coverage, zone clearance, strength down low (especially against lucic types). The problem is they used their best asset for 50mins and built a 4-1 lead, and then turned to their worst asset to close out the last 10mins.
