I just saw an interview with him last week. He is coaching his kids hockey now. He admitted he was a terrible goalie, and rode the success of the Sharks system.

He said " I was terrible. I was never a NHL caliber goaltender. Let's put it this way, I was the Bozak of goalies."
- IRON.MAIDEN

In fairness, Bozak is a good player and an NHL calibre player. He is just miscast in what should be his rightful role.

Tell me more about this line one invisibility? I love the part where JVR disobeys the rules and goes visible to score 2 goals last game and goes back to invisible just in time before the parents find out.

I was just about to jump on that...

Bozak rubbed his crotch on JVR's stick before that game.

Gardiner is the only Leaf I criticize. But I'm the bad guy.

No one thinks youre the bad guy.

We just think youre the guy who acts like a know it all, and always flares up the room.

It's nothing personal. I don't agree with anything you say, but I don't think you're a bad guy.








I DO think you like playing the villain though.

Nope. I don't want him to be the best. I want him off the team.

I only want Phaneuf, Gunnar, Gards, Franson, Reilly, and Fraser.
- IRON.MAIDEN

I must be the only guy who wants Gunnar off this team...

Kypreos "Ranger reminds me of Al Iafrate"

My favourite Phaneuf-hater logic:

The guy sucks because when the coach plays him 28-30 minutes, he is tired at the end of the game.

Trade him!!!!!
- Atomic Wedgie

Bruins poster couple weeks ago was using that as reasoning that Phaneuf must be out of shape... cause you see him on TV breathing hard a lot.

Don't get me wrong, I am no Gunnar fan, but I'd take hi over Ranger Sunday through Saturday.

I dislike Gunnar enough that Ranger, Liles, Brennan and Gunnar would be a toss up for me if I had to pick the Leafs 6/7th Dman. We all have that player(s) that we just dislike, for whatever reason, and won't change our minds on.

Nope, I've wanted him off for a couple years now. Liked him in his first year, but downhill since then.

lucky for him he's #2 then

Brennan, sucks we sent him down over danger ranger. That guy is either a bust or boom player by the looks of it.

Everyone always says, Gunnar is great because you never notice him, but I do! He's always on his knees and always coughing up the puck.

I've never understood the Phaneuf hate. The guy is a beast.


Ranger only gets hated so hard because he was the talk of the media in training camp, and how he was a top 4 D.
Gards gets banged on, because HH just likes to annoy everyone else.
And Blozak gets chewed because we are stuck with him as a 1st C
- IRON.MAIDEN

Bozak never asked to be a 1C that is the leafs issue not his. And he isn't paid like one either. Not sure how that means he deserves to be the whipping boy.

Ranger has pretty good numbers for a D making an even million. He is only going to get better as his timing comes back.

Awesome how many points for his linemates? Teams leading point getter? 5 on 5?

I like Gunnar - I feel shame

- D.Lemieux

Totally disagree.
As a nhl player, if you dont have it after 15 games, and 10 preseason games, then you dont have it.

Ranger is at maximum strength. You've seen the best he has to offer.

You should punch the wall and pretend it's my face. Go on, do it...

I guess that's better than what Bozak is coughing up....

I like Gunnar - I feel shame
- BlowMonkey

you should not, for you know more than the others...

seriously though, he's a rock defensively (comparatively anyway).
watch when a player goes 1 on 1 with him. not getting by. (possible exception for Tavares )

Nah just makes me laugh that players that get the most heat don't watch the over all effect. I've been saying Bozak works on line one. Not once have I said he's a big name 1c yet the world falls apart when I say it. Same with pointing out ALL of Gardiners flaws.
