Noooo

when playing vs a team with a goon, dress 1 of them.

i dont see much point in having 2 fighters on the ice, and Lupul has faught as much as Orr this year, so yeah..
- big_dion

In fact one might argue we have been labelled as a penalty team so we get the short end of the stick on the calls..... that has definitely contributed to this slump....

Brought in Raymond. Playing Rielly and Gardiner (Who didnt play a full season)


And yet, coaches still say we're one of the fastest teams in the league,
- jbold

They are plenty fast. It's just the puck that is missing while they are doing this skating.

yep, so thats 2 players - 1 being new to the team.

this team simply doesnt have a lot of carlyle type players, which is exactly why this team is not doing well in a Carlyle type system..

we lost a TON of speed from last year.

Frattin
Grabo
Macarthur
Komarov
- big_dion

But holy (frank) do I miss Komarov and his bullpoop antics

Komarov was a good piece for us.
- Yeti1181

Komarov and Frattin weren't gone because of Carlyle. Nonis knew he needed a solid goalie incase something happened to Reimer.


Raymond>>MacArthur (Similar production, Raymond is a hell of a lot fast and smarter imo)

Nope but I still miss him him hopefully comes back next year.

JVR-Kadri-Kessel
Lupul-Holland-Raymond
Kulemin-Bolland-Clarkson
Komarov-McClement-Lapierre.



I want that

But holy (frank) do I miss Komarov and his bullpoop antics
- jbold

I would love to see the following lineup next year

kessel bozak jvr
lupul kadri clarkson (lupul can cycle)
kulemin bolland leivo
komarov mclement another cheap grinder(not goon)


Mclaren

we were better, but the goaltending was the key factor in almost every win.
- big_dion

Goaltending is a key factor in every team's wins.

JVR-Kadri-Kessel
Lupul-Holland-Raymond
Kulemin-Bolland-Clarkson
Komarov-McClement-Lapierre.



I want that


- jbold

No lapierre please.

- LeafMan

Leafs players with +50% Corsi = 0
Kings players with +50% Corsi = 21
Chicago players with +50% Corsi =23
SJ players with +50% Corsi =20

Its definatly a no Corsi zone in here

Pretty sure Carlyle's got a winning record since joining the Leafs.
Hard to justify why he should be the guy paying for the leafs slump.
- Pecafan Fan

Need someone to hang for it.

I also remember most of you saying how we needed Orr and McLaren in the lineup so we dont get pushed around..


Seems like opinions have changed
- jbold

because Orr and McLaren aren't doing the job they did last year.

No lapierre please.
- Yeti1181

Brown would look good on that 4th line......

No lapierre please.
- Yeti1181

What? Him and komarov would piss the other team off so bad.


K. How bout this.


JVR-Kadri-Kessel
Lupul-Holland-Clarkson
Ott-Bolland-Kulemin
Komarov-McClement-Winnik

When you consider the cap hit yes..but at the same price I take Mac

because Orr and McLaren aren't doing the job they did last year.
- Feeling Glucky?

Were not getting pushed around though... at least not physically..... were just chasing around.... the puck while we sit in the penalty box

Brown would look good on that 4th line......
- jribout

- senstroll

Players like Raymond and MacArthur are dime a dozen.

Types of players who get moved at the deadline for a 2nd rounder.

There's at least 5 of those players in free agency every year

What? Him and komarov would piss the other team off so bad.


K. How bout this.


JVR-Kadri-Kessel
Lupul-Holland-Clarkson
Ott-Bolland-Kulemin
Komarov-McClement-Winnik





- jbold

Looks good.

Also. Where are those people who had a hard on for Ranger this season? Saying how he's looked decent and he just needs "time"?

wether we like him or not Bozak is in the lineup and probably on the first line

So maybe


JVR bozak Kessel
Lupul Kadri Clarkson
Mclemen Bolland Kulemin
Komarov Holland (Insert cheap agitating free agent)

Kadri, Clarkson, Ott, Bolland and Komarov will piss every team off

- jbold

I do not remember anyone thinking Ranger would be a top pairing guy.... I hoped he would be top 4 and he probably is right now on the leafs. In reality he is probably a solid top 6. i will take that any day for a million

No lapierre please.
