Looks like you too.

Obviously Babcock thinks Smith is in the top 4 C positions for the time being.
- Garnie

So? Doesn't mean he should be. He's terrible

I'm sure you'd rather Nylander or Matthews blocking PP 1 timers from the point?

I think Babs trusts him for some reason....I know you don't like him...I've read it about 1000,000,000 times.

I'm not his biggest fan either...but nor do I care as I trust Babs for now...too early to turn on him.

he is one of 2 guys on the roster wining faceoffs above 50%

he's doing exactly what he was brought here to do actually.
- Dozzer

He was brought here to be more Than a mediocre faceoff guy with nothing else to offer.

Yeah a faceoff is really just the first puck battle of a shift. It just happens in open ice.

Important to win puck battles, but you gotta be able to actually do something with it once you've won to be of any value.

- BINGO!

Agreed. The stats and my eyes both say that he get buried shift after shift

I think he's more of a pk specialist myself....blocks shots and hopefully can win the draw. I don't think Bab's has all of a sudden lost his mind and just inserts this kid that couldn't make the local bantam rep team.

Justin. Pogge.
- BINGO!

Canada's Goalie

The 4th line has good games and bad games....last game he was CF50% while Nylander / Kadri were like 42 / 37.

The game previous he was CF72%

So....not sure where he got buried in those last 2 games.

Just enjoy our team...it's not the finished product by any means.

Canada's Goalie

Guy's been pretty good in Europe. Carved out a nice little, albeit odd, career for himself.

What's going on with Leivo?

Is he still practicing with the team?

He's. Pk specialist who is brutal defensively and not good on the pk.

Wonderful

he was brought here t be a right handed guy in the faceoff circle

If all you do is win faceoff at a mediocre rate you're not very good. You need to be better at other things as well, let alone be better at that specific skill.

Leafs are 7th in the league on the PK.



Plus again, he's not here forever.

That guy could score 3 goals 2 assists have a CF% of 100 and Burn will still find something to female dog about....I hope 1 of you're kids never get on your bad side Burn.

That's why he's there...he's doing his job I see.

- bryant

Robidas Isle maybe

Head to head this week Max.
- Garnie

I was wondering whether anyone was still paying attention to the yahoo leagues..
I had sent a trade offer but no response ... no talks on the boards there either..

That's why he's there...he's doing his job I see.

He blows.

Great, he's doing a pretty good job killing penalties, but 25 games into the season he has one point.

Jordan Staal, Joakim Nordstrom, Viktor Stalberg, Elias Lindholm, Victor Rask and Brock McGinn all kill penalties too.

Guess how many of them outscore McClement?

All of them but McGinn, who has played all of 9 games.

He was playing pretty well before getting injured.
