That makes me happy in ways that words can't really describe...

Percy I can see...he played ok..but he didn't have to clear waivers and I think RC was told NO MORE 7D

Gardiner hasn't looked good at all, he's probably a good fit for the PP but it seems the worse he plays the more RC plays him.

MAybe RC wants to get fired.

Fancy Stats ! Get in the game!

My bad, I guess pulling up your skirt and avoiding a hit doesn't show in these FANCY STATS

MAybe RC wants to get fired.
- Yeti1181

exactly what I was thinking...doesn't want to miss that fishing trip he had planned during the summer ( when he thought he was getting canned )

he's a lazy player who will start slowing down if he doesnt start taking working out seriously

i honestly would nt be shocked to see him barely getting 20 goals by the end of his contract if he doesnt change
- Dozzer

Isn't he continuously one of the highest scoring in the physical testing though?

@reporterchris: Brad Mills of the Binghamton Senators has been suspended 20 games by the AHL after testing positive for a banned substance.

Dumbass

So if he doesn't get a point it means he didn't do anything?
- Yeti1181

pretty much yes

he's horrid on the back check (as in he barely does it), he cant shadow a guy, he loses his man routinely, basically when it comes to D.. he sucks the D.

offensively he's becoming predictable.. he's still (frank)ing dangerous.. but opposition Ds are figuring out how to (frank) with him more and more.

and he doesnt wear a letter because he isnt a leader

he's a marian hossa type .. not a Jonathan Teows type.

Wtf? Does the other person know anything about hockey?
- Yeti1181

He must be taking points from you Mr. 0 - 2 ( I'm for sure going to lose this week now )

Being hunched over after every shift has me concerned for upcoming years on his contract, he shouldn't be getting that tired out.

- Yeti1181

yes but his face looks chubby.

Just at that having to convince the other guy stage?
- Woderwick

Actually.... it was his idea.

Just needs him to confirm.

that so?

where are the results?

i have never seen them published.. you are going off of whatever the coaching staff says.. and i guaran (frank)ing tee you they are coached on what to say about the leafs marquee players

Depends, does Smoak hit lefties and suck against righties? If that's the case, then this could be a hell of a platoon.

@SportsnetTicker: #BlueJays claim Justin Smoak off waivers

2013-2014 vs Lefties

Lind: .171/.219/.264, 137 PA
Smoak: .205/.275/.303, 280 PA

Now THAT is a weird comparison.

Hossa is actually very solid defensively....

could it be the beans?

I'm killing it in my main pool and that's all that counts, plus two of my top forwards have been out for most of the season so far.

Richard Panik, Carter Ashton and Matt Frattin.

these 3 guys. what are the chances they develop into anything worth a damn?

One of the most underrated players in the league, especially defensively.

I changed the wording I knew someone would answer with this, lol.

one single look at his face and you can tell he's out of shape

there's round faces and then there is fat faces..i just lost about 40 pounds myself so i know what to look for.. kessel is easily 10 or 15 pounds overweight.. and 20-25 from optimum

slim, slimmer and none, in no particular order.

lol, sorry

"in all of the club's losses" was the quote, which is five games.

8 points in the three wins, 0 points in the five losses.
- mikeinbuffalo

So the Toronto Maple Leafs = Phil Kessel? Where's the rest of the team?

Guys like Crosby, Malkin, Tavares, Giroux and Kane all have similar
PPG and arn't plus players currently yet Kessel is the only one-dimensional
Player in the league.

Tavares for Selke!

Now THAT is a weird comparison.

Hossa is actually very solid defensively....
- Scabeh

he is now,

my point was he is a star player who isnt a core piece

that so?

where are the results?

- Dozzer

No I was going off Phil saying it, when he told the reporters to go look at the results and then come back to him.
