A fan just scored 4 times from 4 spots on the ice and won the entire crowd a free slice of pizza... The Leafs need to sign this guy NOW

Sure, they'll now have to ask them to take more frozen pizza out to warm up in the microwave

No doubt about that. Just would've been nice to see him play since I don't see much of the Phantoms and only caught a few of his WJC games. But dropping him into the lineup against the Pens with a Phantoms game on Wednesday would've been weird.

I actually think Hagg is better than Lauridson. It's just more difficult for an offensive player to make the jump from the AHL to the NHL. Lauridson will just be told to keep things simple and chip pucks out if nothing is there right away.

Hagg's last few games have been encouraging though. He's shown a bit more assertiveness. His shot is already NHL caliber. Streit may be the only one with a heavier, more accurate shot.

What if it had been Jake and/or Simmer in the deal instead?
- Tomahawk


thats a obvious no-deal for me and anyone else here. im just speculating since one of the possible deals was schenn/coots +. in hindsight i would have done it. back when it was being entertained, im with everyone in that it's a hard deal to pull the trigger since we dont know how players will pan out.

basically what im saying is that my argument is total bull**** and 100% in hindsight would have been a good deal and that everything im saying means nothing now and im a loser.

If the Flyers get McDavid, what will you do?

Praise high heaven that we have a 90 point second line center in Claude Giroux!

Agreed. Plus, at least Lauridsen has a few games of NHL experience. That's great to hear about Hagg though. I've only really been following his season stats wise and have always noticed the amount of shots he puts up. He only has two less shots than Cousins in 5 less games. Manning's got a whopping 107. Kind of wish there were Corsi/Fenwick sites for AHL players.

Did anyone catch the post game interview with Giroux? He seemed clearly upset and had sniffles. At one part there was even a shine of liquid below his eye. Idk if it was sweat or not but he really seemed down. Rightfully so. As for McDavid, I know he's going to be great but he's a C, so say if we get him, who do we move to make room for him? Schenn? Or even trade McDavid for a top defensemen right away. Perhaps a package for Weber (just for whatever sake since Weber is being discussed a bunch)

Extraskater did Juniors I think. I wish they had a site that did Juniors, AHL and NCAA.

I remember seeing BSH use Extraskater when they were doing prospect reports on Sanheim, Fazleev, and AK which makes it suck even more that it's no longer there. But man, a site with AHL, NCAA, and juniors would be awesome.

If we think Philadelphia can be a challenging environment, I'll tell you what: what I saw tonight is about the most negative environment I have seen in quite some time

Nastiness up in the Big Smoke: Dion Phaneuf had drilled Jordan Staal earlier, Eric Staal fought Phaneuf because of it, lost.

At the end of the game, with an empty net, Eric Staal fired a slap shot from the circles to score, with a Toronto player not expecting a bullet. Cody Franson was so pissed, he smashed his stick on the cage add got a 10-minute misconduct
