I think he's just practicing up for the hab thread

Was listening to TSN1200 here in Ottawa today.

The guys there still don't see Toronto as a legitimate threat in the atlantic.

Keep talking about how Phil Kessel is a one-dimensional goal-scorer despite tallying more assists than goals last year for the second year in a row.

Now I don't doubt his physical fitness will become an issue when he leaves his 20's, that said, we have another 4-5 good years from him.

Nobody on the radio mentioned how good Jake Gardiner was...

...and a lot of them discount JVR and his potential to be dynamtie(esp for 4.2m per)
I honestly think JVR is the breakout guy this year.

well what do you mean by threat? threat to win the division or make the playoffs? because you really can't fault them for not thinking the Leafs are a threat to win the division.

looked stellar in pre-season!

Thats why I snagged him in fantasy. I feel as though he will have a great season as well.

We have 2 captains and you dont! So take that!

edmonton has 6 or 9 Assistant Captain... cant remember which, but both numbers are ridiculous

More and more teams are using them. But I guess they are all idiots the don't have a clue.

The fact the leafs were outshot almost every game, combined to the fact they had a weak possession % and a ridiculously high shooting % isn't rocket science.

Scoring once on every 5 shots is a fluke.
- Pecafan Fan

Saying they will score less becuase their sh% will go down is Norris minded.

They are a peice of the puzzle, but not he whole story. Those that are i favor of corsi think its the be all and end all, it's not.

I think it was referring to physical threats of violence. They used to have a guy who bites and a guy who lumberjacks.

Now they only have the lumberjack, hence, not a threat.

The guys on the radio still consider them to be a bubble team. If they're healthy and get good goaltending I think they're a good threat to win the divvy.

The only real weakness I see if perhaps the lack of a true shutdown Dman, yet with good enough goaltending and PK prowess I think they'll survive.

Habs forwards look awful on paper. Pacioretty the only legit scoring threat right now.

I dont know. Lack of a true leader. I hate it. I think they didnt give it to Vanek outright because it would have been another year of your captain gets moved/is gone at the end of the season.

According to your mom.

Galchenyuk? Gallagher? Plekanec? Desharnais (bounceback)? Eller (keep improving).
I won't bring up Bourque, Gionta, Briere, because although they have scored in the past, they are obviously not to be counted on.

I dont know. Lack of a true leader. I hate it. I think they didnt give it to Vanek outright because it would have been another year of your captain gets moved/is gone at the end of the season.

strange.. if myers could find his game again I bet he would make a good one.. but for right now you dont really wanna stress the kid out anymore than he probably already is.
