I don't think you get it, he went all in for that cup. He has never been the same since. As much as he's a diver or whatever else, I kind of respect him for going all in trying to win the cup.

Kesler is a very good player... and I agree with you, he obviously got hurt way more than expected during that cup run.

Joe Thornton firing back at Doug Wilson....problems in paradise.

Would you be willing to trade for an aging Thornton?

That guy prolly having the best time on the ice...

Because he has zero shot at playing with him

which is ridiculously stupid. He already has proven chemistry with Kadri. I don't know why people find that so hard to understand. He also played with Kadri in the scrimmage games. Don't get why people are so negative. That's like saying, Santo & Booth shouldn't be playing together.

Probably not, for what it would cost. If we were closer, then yes. But we are the worst team in the East (or thereabouts)

Absolutely. McDavid will go to a franchise to help them sell tix, but Eichel may be a legitimate lottery?

Not really. I think they know (when they do it in the format they currently do) that we know. There's not much fans can do about it.

Not this again....

extrapolating both players' numbers over 82 games last year:

JVR: 31-31-62
Bobby Ryan: 27-29-56

so even though you have decided that playing 45 games with a sports hernia is no different than playing with a few bumps and bruises late in the season, those numbers are still pretty close. so i fail to see how comparing Ryan to JVR indicates that he's overrated. or that he's so far beneath JVR.

Injuries aren't good excuses.

Unless the injured players aren't Leafs. Then they're fantastic excuses.

It's because everyone talks about Ryan like he's some kind of Superstar, or an elite player, when, in fact he truly isn't. He isn't even reaching the levels of a certain James Van Riemsdyk, who, other than from Leafs fans, never get's any praise thrown his way. Ryan is most certainly a decent player. But he is not in the upper echelon's on NHL players. And soon he's going to be making 7 mil +. He is vastly overrated.
