You talk like you're the only person who watches hockey. You're not the only person who thinks Bozak is good because you're smarter than everyone in here.

Part of being a first line center is putting up first line center numbers.


You're bringing up stats which prove Bozak is nothing more than a 3rd line guy.


Thanks for proving us right.

Why? Her response would be "Who is this guy? Did he go to school? Why isnt he smart?"

Bozak has only ever been Toronto's 1st line center for balance purposes. His skillset is nowhere near what is needed for a true 1st line center.

There weren't any 1st line centers available in the summer so they re-signed him, whatever. The length of that contract is insane though. It will haunt them.

If Kessel is happy with him, and Phil produces at a PPG pace with him as his centre, why would you disturb Phil just to shoe horn in a true number one centre?

With Clarkson and Lupul on the 2nd line with Kadri, they've obviously decided to spend some money to balance out two scoring lines instead.

There are more ways to win in this league than loading up on a number 1 C. Heck, Pittsburgh has doubled down with two of them, yet they reeked against the Bruins.

Balance the lines and sign clarkson for 5+ into
His mid 30s that's funny!!!

Not at all. The coach and GM point it out every year so I watch a little closer at why.

Yet he's still first line center and signed for a few $$ for a few years. Someone is a lot brighter than you I guess.

Do they play with Kessel? How about faceoff wins? Think they contribute to offense?

And these are just little stats you can read. How about watching a game and seeing body position. These are things real hockey people look at.

Body position....

Gardiner is still on the team and plays in the NHL.

Looks like someone is a lot brighter than you I guess.



Toskala was our starting goalie.

Komisarek was signed to that contract.

Same with Liles.


Stajan and Blake were on our top line with Kessel.

Looks like someone isnt that smart....

Body position....

You know something Glen Healy or burn would no nothing about.

Like i said. Grasping at straws.


Tho, I think his "Good body position" comment was about his Bozak posters on his wall.

What did you think of Gomez making 7+m and having 2 goals?

Answer the question.


What did you think of Gomez making 7m and only having 2 goals?


You obviously cant think his contract was good.

But surely, a gm did. A GM who knows more than you.

But yet, it still doesnt mean its a good contract.





Ala Bozak. Just because a GM who knows more than someone does something, doesnt mean it's a good move.

For now.

So Bozak plays and is 1C because he deserves it, but Gardiner is only on the team "for now"???

smart girl

- honesthockey

How come the coach is so smart for putting Bozak out so much, but that rule doesn't apply elsewhere??

Curious?

$4+mil for body position (he's not very good at) is freighting.

Dont forget.

Lack of offense
Faceoffs
