I had the strangest dream last night.

I was visited by the Ghost of Hockeybuzz past - Unholy_Goalie.

He showed me the error of my ways.

I swear, from now on, I'm going to be much more rude and nasty to posters.

God bless us, everyone!

I have a weird feeling that we need to get used to it.

Vegas looks like a fun team, wanna jump on the wagon with me?

I agree, I strongly disagree with the mins he's been given. But he does a lot of good things well defensively. A good bottom 6 forward. But the 19 mins a game has to stop
- Santo_44



He plays on the top checking line and full PK....I doubt his mins go down much.

It is what it is.

Did you ever try Beer and Clamato?

My guess is no.

Carrick is young and inconsistent but I think he has the tools to be a decent bottom pairing d-man in the league. He doesn't shy away from physical like some other d-men on the team.
- TheMussel



he doesn't really play a physical game tho, he does put his glove in the face of the opposing player after the whistle blows, but I am not sure if that is considered "physical". Carrick is way too inconsistent and loses puck battles easily

Agreed.. It would be asking too much of Andersen to perform at a .950 Save % for the rest of the season.

So I only managed to watch the 3rd period last night, but not much to complain about in that loss (at least from what I saw).

Yes, Minny was playing kitty-bar-the-door, but good gracious, we had a lot of good chances.

Their goalie was jerked around by the Leafs two years ago - it was a revenge game for him.

On to Detroit!

Can't agree with much of this post. Plenty to complain about. An game against a substantially weaker team that should have been a win. 12 measly shots on net the first two periods. Scoring zero goals never something to be satisfied with - especially this team.

Who cares what style they play - I understand Leafs have difficulty with Western teams, particularly when rough stuff arises. Want to win - compete

Who cares about revenge? Has nothing to do with what the Leafs produced - a stinky effort at best. Almost scoring is like almost getting laid. (frank) that.

Well, I did preface it by saying I only saw the third.

And I question your statement that Minny isa substantially weaker team:

Toronto: 33 games played, 41 points
Minny: 31 games played, 37 points

At least in the third period, I thought they did compete. Can't win them all.

Does that mean the Leafs can still get a point in the shower after the game?
