Right, that's why they made the playoffs last year ahead of those team. Slick.

You weren't last year...do you think you can lose 2 of your 3 highest scorers and actually be better? Do you honestly think Clowe or Jagr can replace Kovi and Clarkson? Your best player is 36, and your goalie is 40.
- djamon

Clarkson is overated enjoy him. He can not pass for anything and just stands in front of the net and talks poop all game. I'm confident we can replace him and someone will take his spot over easily. Ryder is a much better player and your crazy to think otherwise. Kovy's a loss but it allowed us to add more depth and become a more well rounded team which has always been our organizational strength.

Thin air. They could be less I guess. I think the $6 includes a Bud Lime and an armed escort to your car.

your confusing the devils with the panthers

Haha tell me how you really feel.

You know Jagr scored more goals last year than either Clarkson or Kovy did right?
- bobert836

I know...amazing. I'm sure he'll do the same this year...play hard so he can be traded to a contender.

schneirder is 40?

clowe can replace clarkson and surpass him

clarkson isnt as big a loss as many people believe when you see who "replaced" him

he had 1 big season due to elias and a fast start but after 12 or so games he is invisible, oh and his career year was 46pts

Clarkson + Bozak =

Clowe > Clarkson.

- djamon

Clowe can replace Clarkson, who had 5 goals and 8 points in the last 30 games of the season. Jagr and Ryder replace kovy? Maybe. Our goalie and best player is 27.

Oh (frank) sakes.

Sens injuries> NJD injuries and they didn't miss a beat.

Leafs had a lot of injuries... and made it.
- burn

Neither team had Hedberg in net for 11 games in a row and we wont either if the same thing where to happen again. So I dont really see you're point ? I never said we had the most injuries but we had some pretty key ones.

Clearly better than teams in a 48 game season. I don't think the leafs are a lock for the playoffs either. In fact I probably see them as missing just like Todd. =

Nor do I......


and that's fine, you're opinion, it doesn't mean anything. Some intelligent people/publications have picked the Leafs to make it.

The panthers made the playoffs two years ago and lost to the eventual cup losers in the first round. What happned to them last year?

You made the playoffs once therefore your not clearly better than anyone. Get the (frank) over it your teams not good enough to be considered locks either is mine. Your a bubble team accept it.

Scrivens played more games than Hedberg last year.

Who gives a poop about that either? Those are always wildly wrong to. I don't know why you keep bringing this up when those mean as much as mine, yours, todds, or anyone else's opinion.

Scrivens played more games than Hedberg last year.

And Scrivens was much better than Hedberg last year. Hedberg also played more minutes...

Probably has nothing to do with the team in front of him.

- SameOld

Are you trying to say Scrivens is better then Hedberg? and if so this is certainly a change of heart from last year when he played for the Leafs. Now tell me did he also play these games in a row ?

Scrivens played more games than Hedberg last year.
- SameOld

Is he 40 years old?

Probably has nothing to do with the team in front of him.
- SameOld

Well considering we were on top of our division when Marty went down I think it might have been hedberg. What I watched last year confirms this.

- NickA

Aww, it must hurt having one of your staples leave.

First Parise, then Clarkson, then Kovy. Yikes.

So did a lot of teams.
- burn

And a lot of teams missed who usually make it but it is you few who dont usually make it and did that put so much stock in the demise of all these other teams based on 48 games but hold a whole other standard to you're Leafs in that same 48 game span.
