Like kill someone? Or end Matthews' career?
- BestRapperAlive

he also butt-ended Andersen in the head last night when battling Plekanec in front of the Leafs net..

I hope he doesn't do something as drastic as take a run at Matthews..

EK is saying that JVR is staying.

If the Leafs can get him signed to a reasonable deal then keep him, whatevs. Just make sure he isn't claused so we can trade him for stuff instead of losing him for nothing when he hits free agency.

Leafs need an upgrade over JVR - apart from 1 goal, he's been awful in three playoff games (and if i remember well, last year in playoffs virtually invisible as well).

I think he has 2, both powerplay goals.
He did seem to try and hustle last night, couple of good hits also.

Anyone here get the feeling that the upcoming World Cup in Russia is going to be a giant, violent poopshow?

If i'm Leaf management I'm all in for Taveras first.

I'd welcome an upgrade over JVR.

Outside of Kovalchuk and Kane I really don't see any other options at LW though.

I see you agreed with the dumb ass part...

Taveras would upgrade Jonsson and Kapenan.

I hope he gets seriously frustrated in game 4, and that it carries over into the game 5 pre-game, where he kills Rene Rancourt.

I see the discussion more around JVR or Tavares.
That way, don't have to move Willie to C.

Seems like quite an easy choice.

Don't you have a hat to entertain?

I think the definition of upgrade is making a position better. So Tavares would be an upgrade on Boozak I guess

If Exhibit A is used to label a piece of evidence that Marchand is a turd, then I think we're up to three letter designations by this point

Fair enough, let's just label it; Exhibit XYZ

yes i agree, but he would also make those players better.
which would be upgrading them.
I'm just assuming that's who he would play with.
