We are too small. Not truculent enough..LOL

He didn't actually use the word truculent again, did he?

I could have lifted the puck over his pad.. It has nothing to do with me being a scientist and everything to do with playing the game.

You are so bad...what kind of game did you have my friend?

You know how you guys that love Ranger are always saying if the Leafs can find someone better at that price to fill his role then you're all for it and wouldn't care?

Well when the Leafs can find a #1 dman better than Dion at his price then we're all for it too... It's the same thing... only difference is, most of us see that our D corps minus Dion makes this team significantly easier to play against... anyone stating otherwise is blindly hating (same thing you accuse non Ranger fans of)... so, like I said... when you can find us a #1 dman better than Dion that's available, we'll all gladly take him... until then...

And... If by some miracle they find a Dman better than Phaneuf, they'd be far better off pairing him with Dion than replacing him.

I would gladly take two good d-men for example Orpik and Giradi and or Matt Greene for 9 to 10 mill over one Phaneuf at 7 mil. Would not think twice about it.

- SofaKingBored

Yep.

they have that one kid i like.. but he is a couple years off yet.. guance... thats it.. also.. as a londoner i can tell you horvat has the potential to be a good one.
- Dozzer

Neither are top level prospects. They're good. Not great.

Not that I think its a great reference, but neither ranked in the top 50 in HF.

apparently, even if Phaneuf played for free, we shouldn't re-sign him.

Lazy bottom pairing ECHL d-man that he is.

Or 2 quality guys, instead of one over priced guy.

He's gone out of his way not to

- LeafMan

What would be better is one of those guys WITH Phaneuf, at 10-12M

We have the money.
We have the technology.

He just did, I am watching it.

I would very happily live with that.

(frank), I think I'd even drive Dion to the airport at that point...

Finally.

I've said this like 10 times since last season

I'd gladly take Lidstrom and Chelios in their prime... hell, give me Doughty Pietrangelo too...

He just did, I am watching it.

Me too... Didn't hear it

- Feeling Glucky?

No thanks, I can't stand to watch the lackadaisical play for another 5 plus years. Gives up too much on plays, that is not a 7 plus mil player.

And... If by some miracle they find a Dman better than Phaneuf, they'd be far better off pairing him with Dion than replacing him.


- Big_Lightnin

Well yeah, definitely... but the truth is, if there was a better dman available, they'd sign and/or trade for him... but there's not... so people can say they'd rather so and so but that's a pipe dream...

Sure you could have.

That's why you're in the NHL, and Kulemin is a stoner with a shawarma addiction posting on hockeybuzz.

Man I miss those days living in Ottawa...

Right after he said" we are too small, and we play too soft. I like truculence, there I said it. You guys have been waiting for me to say it."

You are so bad...what kind of game did you have my friend?

NHL 91 sega genesis.

Ok well, you run along and get those guys, for that money, without gutting the team.

Then train the monkeys that fly out if your butt to work the stereo in the dressing room
