I hope they try for Josh Manson. We need some toughness on our d.
- Matthews_Auston

Yes, yes and yes. He'd be the perfect partner for Rielly

You must be under 60.
- BlueBallz

My inside sources tell me the Leafs have a game time surprise for game 4 that is sure to sink the Caps. Thats right, we've been waiting for this moment for sometime, but it's finally here. Lupul will make his long awaited comeback and re-unite with Bozak and JVR. Marner will play with Willy and Matthews. Series over people...

But seriously, Kadri had one heck of a game last night!
- Hockey_Reverend

Seriously. Kadri turned the tide of that game by blowing up Orpik TWICE in one shift. Then Uncle Leo did a good job staying in their heads. He was the only one giving it back to Ovechkin for being a lumberjack.

Not even trying to be a a dbag...you have a kapanen jersey??? Why?

Why not, hes clutchhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I just answered my own question...he's Finnish

CLASS WAR!!! Makers vs Takers (that's you)

If you think that your balls are blue now, wait until I call my buddy from prep school who now owns the power company... enjoy having no heat, you underprivileged swine!

- Matthews_Auston

Not a huge point getter...but I havent really watched him play much. Is he a shut down dman?

Why not, hes clutchhhhhhhhhhhhh.
- Bigzby

I have a bunch of blanks + a Reimer and Gardiner. All free so I can't complain. It's like the Brett Lowry jersey I got for free. I feel weird wearing it but don't want to buy one.

Yes, yes and yes. He'd be the perfect partner for Rielly
- lumlums

Marilyn can be our 4th line centre.

Shattenkirk wasn't very good. He's not the answer this offseason.
- mykokes

That's funny because I was thinking last night that he has been their best defenseman so far, and thus wondering how bad and slow that defense must have been before he got there?

Although I agree that the Leafs should ideally target someone else in the off-season.

Meh, a two year 2-3 million per will not hurt us at all.
- Fakepartofme

I agree.
Keep Boyle for another 3 years at 2.75mln, and you'll have one thing less to worry about.

1. Matthews
2. Marner
3. Nylander
4. Kadri
5. Bozak
6. Brown
7. Komarov
8. Boyle
9. Hyman

9 guys that are most certainly there to stay for next 2-3 years.

Then you have Martin, Kapanen, Rychel, Soshnikov, Leivo, Leipsic to fill out the team on forward (or to be traded). + some other younger guys still coming up in a few years.

JVR seems to be the odd man out UNLESS he has a very incredible playoff series or Leafs can't get a decent return on him.

At this point though, it seems that a trade of JVR going to Anaheim for a defenseman like Manson (+additional parts) could be a logical move for the Leafs.

.HOHO, let the mods and the admins handle it, we have discussed this. So let's drop it and move on.

- RickJames77

And a Kap jersey probably has a bit more lifetime than a Komarov jersey

Probably. Do you want to wait for him, or shall I just tell you to go and frank yourself now and save you some time...?
- lumlums

I'll wait....thanks.

- Fakepartofme

Big and very tough to play against. He plays with an edge like his dad.

He's very overrated if you ask me.

I wouldn't spend the 6M+ he's going to ask for this summer.

There are probably better, cheaper options elsewhere.

Curious to see what Alzner gets for example.
- Scabeh

Alzner gets what Lou tells him he's going to get

That's bullpoop. Holtby's been great too. This isn't "Anderson is stealing the series" and it's not a "Caps haven't shown up series". Both teams are playing hard and the Leafs have outplayed the Caps by an inch or two.
- The Law

Umm...Andersen stole game two...no question imo.

But I agree with the above.

Big and very tough to play against. He plays with an edge like his dad.
- Matthews_Auston

but is he good defensively? Can he move the puck? Hockey smarts?

Kadri had a great game.

Nylander is going beast mode. Who was the twit who always wanted to trade him

I finally watched a game at Real Sports.

Holy frank, what a great place to watch the game, although they put on franking house music in the intermisson, instead of letting us listen to Coach's Corner.

And the menu is franking horrendous.
- Atomic Wedgie

Uggh ...food is awful there. A little better at Eleven (on the corner). But ya, the atmosphere is great.

Kadri had a great game.

Nylander is going beast mode. Who was the twit who always wanted to trade him
- senstroll

Someone wanted to trade Nylander?

Who replaces JVR? I know Kap has played well...but I dont see him top 6 replacing JVR consistently and on a full time basis.
