On the Internet, I'm an Olympic weight lifter who was drafted by an NHL team and played some college football years ago. I'm also rich and know MMA.

Therefore, people should just defer to my judgment.

Whatever man.. This battle is getting ridiculous. I just hope when they trade him so you'll shut up about him.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Oh. I'll shut up for sure. I'll then talk about how we dont have a number 1 Dman, and talk about our top 5 draft pick.

Should I start attacking the Leafs and the fans so you can all gang up on me instead of fighting with each other?

I have nothing against the Leafs or you guys, but if it'll build camaraderie, I will.

Nothing I said had anything to do with corsi.

Leafs skated faster than they have in weeks. They moved the puck better. They had more quality scoring chances than they were able to manufacture recently.

None of that is reflective of corsi.

You literally missed the point..

He's blaming Dion for our team giving up 50 shots against a night

When in fact, Those 3 are giving up the same number of shots, in limited ice time, against bottom 6 players.


Do you need me make a (frank)ing pop up book for you too understand?

- jbold

No... I'm saying that they didn't give up 50 tonight. And a defender who is your captain allows 50 shots 3 times in one season and has 2 goals doesn't deserve 7 mil.

Phaneuf plays the most minutes on our defense, our defense sucks when he is playing, therefore he needs to be held accountable. Phaneuf is not worth 8 million dollars.

Nothing. Leafs outshot the Kings. They're fine. Who cares that they lost, they're fine.

LMZAOZZZ Leafs got out shot and won AGAIN. Take that stupid Corsi! Its wins, not shots that matter!

Huh? What?

- systemtool

The general thought behind the anti-corsi movement is that shot attempts alone don't necessarily reflect how a game actually went. Tonight I think Toronto out-chanced and out-played LA quite clearly, something they have not done to any team in a long time though.

As a whole the Leafs have truly earned their poor corsi rating of late. I think you'd get quite a few of us corsi skeptics to agree with that.

[edit] LA got corsi-breaking goaltending tonight too btw lol. Corsi loves to ignore the impact goaltending can have on a game.

Holy (frank) man.. You just pick and choose which comments you want to read eh? I just clearly stated in plain English that i just don't want the leafs paying him 7mil.. That's it. Everyone was calling for a royal poop kicking tonight without Dion and that didn't happen.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

You said that while I was typing.

And we've had this argument many times. You rant about Phaneuf constantly and the majority of what you say is blatantly untrue.

Nobody wants to sign hi that long, but they hVe to, unless they cN somehow trade him for better return.

Everybody stepped up tonight cause they were without their captain. Teams do that. That level of play isn't sustainable. It was adrenaline.

Good logic there.

Plays the most minutes, against the toughest competition.

But yet, the players who play half the minutes some nights, still have the same number of shots against?

Yeah.. Dion is the true reason our defense suck. Not the guys who play against bottom 6 players but allow the same number of SA as Dion (Who is going up against top lines).


Seriously. You literally just dont get it.

I liked how they played tonight... Specifically compared to recent games. Nothing to do with shots for or against.


I said nothing that remotely correlates to corsi.

I do, Phaneuf played less minutes tonight, 0. The defense was better.
