this is by far the most horse blinder argument i have heard on these boards.

sorry, anyone who thinks kessel's production is because of bozak is not paying attention.

at all.

horse blinder?

Kessel works well with Bozak. I am not suggesting Bozak is the key to Kessel's success.

sure lets trade a promising 23 year old

Kessel could play with Bozak or Grabovski...he would still get his top 10pts, wouldn't matter.

I can't believe people still talking about the Bozak vs. Grabovski thing.....I guess Grabs getting 5pts in 3 games has something to do with it.
Who cares, as long as the Leafs keep win, who cares!!!???

actually someone broke it down.. most of kessel's points came with bozak off the ice last year.

cant remember who posted the breakdown

yes like missing an open net

it's all about offense with you guys. Awesome. You really understand all the aspects of hockey. Let's go out and sign semin, vanek, etc. Who needs defense right? Just amazing.

actually i've been pissed about since they signed bozak and dropped grabo to do so

I think Bozak is alot like Gunner, in that they do so many little things that arent flashy, which doesnt get easily noticed. Might be construed as boring players, but when players dont get noticed, it usually means they are doing their jobs correctly. I think Bozak is a very steady forward, in that we always know what to expect from him. He plays the same game everyday and plays responsibly in his role. He never gets moved up and down the lineup for poor play, ala Kadri. Which probably means he is doing his job. Hes also a pick pocket magician and a shootout guru!

Your my new pal, love the post. Probably one of the most intelligent postings I've seen in quite some time. Makes sense why Bozak never gets demoted off the Kessel line. And u know RC won't hesitate to take a player off any line if he aint pulling his weight. Last year only Bozak scored on the SO (3 goals).

It's people who look at talent alone. DOn't understand that teams gel together and certain players are individuals. But they're right surely....Nonis and other GMS just don't see it. Oh an Randy Carlyle just 'likes' bozak better than grabo. That's why he gets all the minutes.

I agree i cheer for my team and the players who happen to be on it. I wouldnt care if Mike (frank)ing Danton was on the team, i would still cheer for him if he was a Leaf! Whatever happened to that toolbag anyways?

No way in hell we trade Gardiner. Realistically what type of deals could we harness if we were to trade him? Unless its like a Ryan Strome, forget about it

in a skills competition grabo wins. In actual hockey, you know what the leafs are involved in, bozak is better. Don't understand how this is a hard concept.

Bozak for Vanek done

We don't need the jekyl & hyde drama that comes with Grabbo. Id rather have the consistent nightly effort of Bozak.

nope.. however some interesting IP matches

Well, imagine a Leafs team with Grabovski and without Bozak.
Now also imagine that team without Kessel either.....

I'll take Bozak and Kessel over Grabovski and no Bozak/Kessel.

Not saying it would come down to this but it was definitely possible and I am happier knowing Kessel is locked up for 8yrs with Bozak rather then the unknown with Grabovski.

He was winning University Championships, I think he has visa issues, not sure why

agree to disagree i guess

i mean seriously, this guy has softer hands than bozak

so far so good

Truthfully he played well on Saturday. Moved the puck, took the body. and he is better than Brookbanks. He will play Quite a bit here if he does that. It give Rozival rest. We need Drago for the playoffs.

Bozak for Vanek done
- senstroll

then lets do phaneuf for mike green, bolland for sam gagner. Clarkson for semin, bernier for jeff skinner and our team would be 'sick'

honestly.. if bozak was signed for that kind of money just to keep kessel around the leafs have made a HUGE mistake

thats the kind of moves that got us into the muskoka five era

so far so good

Been able to watch the Leaf games. Bolland looks good. If he stays healthy, you guys are gonna love him.
