People just dont seem to get that.

I think James is the answer long term.

I long for the days of Phaneuf bashing and defending...

Both Reimer and Bernier are average at best goalies.

I'm glad that Reimer is getting a bit of a groove going here, but neither one of these goalies is the answer long-term, and neither one is better than the other career-wise, so why are we even debating between the two?
- gravyface

I don't know that there was ever much defending in the Phaneuf bashing wars - 99% bashing.

I've been really impressed with Kadri to be honest (sounds weird with 1 goal). Everything about his game (except points) seems to have improved massively.

Now, it may have to do all the other forwards we have on the team, but when Kadri (and JVR to a lesser extent, just) step on the ice, they actually look threatening and carry the play constantly in the favour of the Leafs. It may just be an optical illusion, as after them we get to see PAP, Spalling, Winnik etc.

No optical illusion: Kadri's stronger on the puck this year, waaaay better on the dot, and still carries the play well and as always, elusive, so yeah, if his shooting percentage was even career average, he'd have around 6-7 goals this year.

I think James is the answer long term.

I love #2's


Especially in the morning.

I still think Kadri should be kept. he's good enough and young enough to be the answer as a solid #2 centre.

Just like guys with abnormally high will see their numbers drop, Kadri's will rise. That fluke low number will not continue.

I love 'em in the 2-3 range -- cuts down on the paperwork required.

I just read on a different blog site that Reimer and Price have played the same number of games and Reimer has a better 5v5 save pct. Take that habs fans.

Welcome to HB and Leafs nation.
Selective stats and facts.
Im sure Sid will turn it around as well.

But man OV can score...about to take over as the Leading Russian goal scorer of all time in half as many games
- Fakepartofme

I liked when he scored his 2nd on the leafs to take the rusian lead, puts his finger in the air, like only a russian hotdoger can do, only to have the goal disallowed on goalie interference. Since then he's been shooting every time he gets the puck, hence 15 shots in 1 game.

They are actually playing pretty darn well!

Number 7 is a fun change of pace I find.

Hes kinda poop. But no issues with the 4th line role.

Condon is the new Halak

Depending on the price tag....why not.

and his most recent goal to take the lead or tie it was also called back last night.

I heard Duchene could be shopped (AM590). Not sure if its true or not.....BUT.


Leafs go get him!

yeah, literally JUST read that.. Heard Avs/Sens are talking, but talks are obviously premature .. read that the Avs would want Zibanejad & Chabot in return for Duchene..

edit: who are the Leafs version of Zibanejad/Chabot? I know Mika, but not familiar with Chabot..
