So.... Anisimov piles through Reimer and no call...???
- lumlums

If I'm Reimer I'm going in to that room and saying "So, uh, fella's, anyone going to stop these other guys from running in to me and knocking me down and whatnot?.. Cause I , uh, golly, would really like it if ONE OF YOU DID YOUR (frank)ING JOB TONIGHT, TOO!! LOOKING AT YOU DION!."

Or something to that effect.

So, goaltender interference isn't being called. If this team had any guts, we'd police that poop ourselves, then start giving it back the other way.

What the hell happened between last year and this?

If Orr or Mclaren were in the lineup someone pays for the runnings... I know it seems like a waste of a roster spot in the new euro NHL, but this is what happens...

Just Dion?

olympic break couldn't have come at a worse time, eesh.

Meh, it was barely goalie interference.
Last year was simply a one off in most cases

And the captain would say......"ya what reimer said"

I love that he takes up 7 million dollars of our cap

I was told this will be a steal in 3 years. Are you daring to say otherwise?

No it's next year when the cap goes up 35%

7 million a year for 7 years for captain pylon, enjoy it leafs fans. pathetic.

I don't think anyone is enjoying it

God forbid if somebody says otherwise.

Clarkson doesn't get ripped on as much as Phaneuf does by leaf fans.

Don't worry, after Boilland gets 5 x 8 and we lose Kulemin, Reimer, and a couple more defensemen the team will be awesome with 6 rookies and a crappy backup.

I think ripping CLarkson should really be ripping No-ness.

Seriously. Do they hate Reimer? Why is nobody doing anything?

Last year, this team had a completely different attitude and style.

That's not a one off thing. That's a deliberate change. There's a difference between the results being a "fluke" (or whatever bull crap people are calling it) and the attitude being a fluke.

Last year, at least we seemed to win AND lose with some dignity and fight. This year, when we lose, we fold.

Ah boo hoo!

Am I alone in thinking Franson is terrible. What a freakin pylon. Idiot should have signed an extension when given the chance.

True. But I thought we were paying Clarkson for his toughness and intangibles. (Certainly arent paying him to score).

I dont like to constantly rip on Phaneuf like some here, but even I have to admit that this is the type of scenario that you look to your captain.

It's the main reason for so many shots and bad d, they simply don't get sustained pressure from any line accept the top one, and even that is usually only for a little while. Great rush team and they make nice plays but no long drawn out forecheck...
- aminnes

Absolutely ….and add in that they (the fwds) don't help out defensively. The Lupul Kadri Clarkson line is (frank)ed. Raymond McLement Kulemin just isn't good enough. And Smith and Bodie? WTF is that ….The D can be better but really this is a group of forwards that can't get their poop together.

Meh it was a short season after a long layoff, it was one off. Now they realize they have to do that over 82 games and they can't.
Welcome to another 5 years if this

7 million a year for 7 years for captain pylon, enjoy it leafs fans. pathetic.
- LeafMan

+21 and far away leading the team in ice time. Best penalty killer on defense by far. Easily the only guy capable of playing this role.

You can hate it if you want, but where do you honestly see this team without him? Competing for the division?

Come on.
