That helps

I hear Bobby Ryan is in a big slump with only 1 assist and 7 shots.. He has lost it.

the guy's got two first names for christ sake...how he gets about his daily life alone is inspirational!!

I have seen kessel in real life. Kid is 5'8 tops.
- clark_griswold

wow, 5'8", 200+ lbs and skates like the wind.

something is not passing the sniff test here.

He's actually improving every game. Expectations were so high that people are ready to jump on him IMO. I ve noticed he when he screws he does everything he can to fix it. He's basically a rookie again difference is he will improve faster because he's already been there.

I saw this as well. What I really noticed is that he also does a lot of things right. But they're the simple plays that guys like Gunnar do that go virtually unnoticed. He makes a glaring mistake and 5 things exactly right but people only notice the bad plays. Such is the life of a defensive defenseman. I bed if he scored those 3 posts he's hit, people would have a different tune as well.

i think so too.. wait til he gets more into mid season form.. by the time Clarkson is back he'll of smoothed out the kinks in his game

Many fans hope so, because he could be a big help for the Leafs to make and or do well in the playoffs.

They will come around, fans jumped on bandwagons so quick before now they are going the opposite direction earlier.

So you're saying John Scott went after a guy who is 5 8

Still think the Leafs will move (an) offensive dman...

Dumba has 8 more games before the Wild have to decide to send him back to Red Deer or start him on his entry level contract.

It's true, just like how Kadri has 3 points in 3 games but all anyone is talking about is how he keeps getting swapped with Bolland.

i've always found stay at home guys typically take 10-12 games or so to really find their groove.

well.. the non all star ones

Saw him in exhibition game in Winnipeg a few weeks back. He and Coyle really stood out.
