Detroit 5th, Washington 6th, Leafs 7th, Philly 8th, Rangers 9th.

Easy big fella, Phaneuf has you too angry.

yes. You could trade Phaneuf to acquire a decent defensive dman.
Dion is a good defenseman...but he's not far and away better than others. He is marginally.
move on.

Who on the Leafs is even close to Phaneuf?

that means nothing.

nothing at all. not when it comes to the post season.

especially in a city where the players are treated like rockstars

wish it was like football in this aspect.. where a team can release a player.. no guaranteed contracts
- Dozzer

I wanted that for a long time, people say well players get huge bonus money to sign, if the team has the money and can afford to give out that bonus, I don't care, the term and cap hit is what matters, they don't perform, they lose the term and salary.

You're right. The standings have nothing to do with the playoffs. At all.

A team in the playoff race has nothing to do with the post season. Nothing at all.


Im sorry you were wrong about the standings...Geez. Calm down.

or at least on a year to year basis a team can jettison contracts ... that way a player's career isnt ended.. and they can hit free agency without being rusty.

you do realize the leafs hold the 8th playoff spot right? not the 7th?

phili is actually ranked ahead of them because of the divisions.

Leafs are still 7th. The standings don't change. What you're saying makes no sense. The divisions only means that 3 teams from the division get in. It doesnt make Philly jump over us... Philly has less points than us, which is why we're 7th and they're 8th.

You do realize this, don't you?

But the Leafs will have 2 more points after tonight.

Book it.

Hey if I was to ban someone disagreeing with me, Glucky would be perma-banned.

So am I. If you're saying Toronto is 8th then you are wrong. Toronto is 7th. They have more points than Philly, so how does Philly jump ahead of us. We can talk playoff spots all day long, but it doesnt change the fact we're in 7th.

Kiss of death.

If acquire a quality Defensive dman, Franson could play those mins in the interim.
Its a step back....but only short term....its not a 7 year headache.
This would provide time and mins for our young prospects and d players to develop....which is what they need.

seabrook.. doughty, subban, piterangelo, keith,

thats five in about 2 seconds.. want me to go on?
- Dozzer

Only 25 more to go.

That speaks to the weakness of the D corps, not to the strength of Dion. Having said that, he's having a solid year.

Kiss of death.

Meh, they were never gonna win tonight anyway.

Franson is terrible in his own end.

Horrible plan.

Brucey need one of these today ? Phaneuf got you down ?

And...

The format is different now. Its the top 3 teams in each division and two wild cards. The thing is though, if the Rangers get more points than the Flyers then they replace the Flyers. They don't replace us. We're in 7th. We have a 1 team cushion between us and being on the outside. The Rangers and Devils are 9th and 10th. They can make the playoffs by gaining more points than the Flyers. Its not us that gets booted until they have more points than us.
