Chara looked pretty terrible out there. This is why I'm not overly worried about the tough, hard-hitting D in the Atlantic - most of them are really not very mobile, so Matthews, Nylander and Marner will be able to walk around them fairly easily

Are you trying to tell me that he's too good for skates?

Did you have a point to make?

Frank vatrano >>>>> marner, nylander, mathews combined

Didn't even have to read the blog to figure out that it says matthews, marner and nylander will be the three calder finalists this season. Leafs must be the only NHL team that has good rookies...

Don't forget about Subban.

He's a top 5 young NHL goalie.

Leafs fans/bloggers tend to miss the fact that other teams have prospects just as good as theirs, and are blind to any player not wearing blue and white

Nailed it!

you think James Tanner's head finally exploded?

I think, at this point, there is enough evidence that we should be putting to bed Corsi and Fenwick.

You don't understand.

Thanks for the solid argument there Tanner

Obviously, the fact that we have good prospects clearly means that nobody else does.

he won't, he will ride this for as long as EK will let him. Hockeybuzz is his full time job

he didn't even mention Zaitsev could win it.

yeah, uh, don't know where you get that from.

and I hope you aren't including Boston. I know Jimmy Vesey was a big acquisition for the Bru

wait, what?!

Ah, yes. Wanna post a music video and upgrade it???

That's what surprised me most about this blog. Not that Vesey, Laine, Bjorkstrand, etc. weren't mentioned as potential Calder finalists, but that Zaitsev was left off as the potential winner.

I guess maybe because he will be a Norris finalist right?

It is a Leafs blog, is it not.. Why would Lucas write about other teams players in a Leaf Blog ??

Is this too much common sense for you ?

You know what's funny about Tanner?

Once you realize that he really doesn't believe a lot of what he types, and there is no sense arguing with him because he has no interest in the facts and really is trolling,

then he actually becomes an entertaining blogger.

Team North American has a 59.7% Corsi tonight, only one player below 50%, and that's Auston Matthews at 38.46%

thoughts?
- Symba007

How is it possible that one player can be at least 12% lower than the next lowest - did he play with different linemates every shift?

It's a Leafs blog talking about Leafs prospects, and the fact that we have some good young players who have the ability to challenge for the top three in Calder voting. At no point does it say that that means that nobody else has quality players who will also be challenging.


It's a shame, because I hear that Georgetown does a great job in teaching the concept of mutually exclusive events.

I get the feeling Bruiniak is a little upset by the state of the Boston prospect cupboard.

Very true.


I do admit that I enjoy seeing the reactions to him. He really reels in some of the poor saps every single time...
