Mind boggling for sure. But everyone has their opinions man, that's just how the world works.

I think it was the puck that crushed his head in.
its understandable you are not the same

Touche, I don't fault the guy for not being up to snuff. However, NHL can be a cutthroat business and wins matter more than hurt feelings. If you have better personnel, you gotta play them

No it's a great play to make. But he seriously even (franks) that up.

People who hate Dion are the people who love Ranger.

guy saw an opening and exploited it. if that hole isn't there, he passes or shoots somewhere else. not absolving Bernier but it's a 2-on-1.

I don't think Fraser played it well

The better team is the one that wins.

Goalies are part of the team, as are the defensemen that make sure guys don't get second and 3rd chances, or that limit the shooting options, to give the goalies an easier job.

Our defensemen, at some point, stopped limiting good shots, and started screening the goalie.

I disagree, I think the D just got out of the way and let Carter have a free good shot

here is the thing
I think the leafs were the better team, just like in most of their wins I think the other team was the better team

hope that clears things up

- senstroll


a loss is a loss, and still stings, but at least the game wasn't infuriating to watch.

I know it was 1 game, but I was skeptical on how Franson would handle the extra time/better opponents, and was pleasantly surprised. The biggest difference I noticed, was that Franson does not have hands of stone and actually looks around for an open man, and can complete a play under pressure.

I have liked the changes to Phaneuf's games this season, but he still can't make a clean play under pressure, and that is never going to change. So please trade him at the deadline, and keep that cap space for other options.

He just gets beat way to much for me. And then a lot of times will have to take an I can't skate penalty. It's just frustrating.

I know, I'm just poking the bear.

I do think that there are 6 Dmen better than both Ranger and Fraser when Phaneuf is in the lineup, yet one of them is always in. Randy doesn't seem to agree with me though

Part of me wishes we had a longer stretch to evaluate the Leafs without Dion

Seriously...... Fraser is by far the worst defenseman on the team.

He NEEDS TO GO!!!!

Truth be told........ the Leafs played a really good game last night.

Best game in over a month for sure.

We lost, but they keep playing as they did last night, and they will win the majority of their games.

Said it last night. Quicker than they have been in a while a s really moved the puck well.
