Yep. Great deal. Still luv Whitey though. Great to see him doing so well

Okay, I'm sorry I don't mean to be a homer or anything like that but I have had it with this trend. Why do people always say that about Dion? I understand people making this comment last year when he wasn't scoring much at the beginning and his shots would always seem to sail high. But this year I am actually impressed at his ability to get the puck on net. It's like he'll get 6 in a row on net, he'll miss one then everyone will say "OH CLASSIC DION, MISSING THE NET". I just checked, he is FOURTH amongst all Dmen for shots....so does he need to be in the top 3 for you to stop saying he has trouble hitting the net?

I'm simply conparing his shots to a guy like Franson, who has the same power, but seems to place the puck on net better than Dion.

Of course Dion's going to have a lot of shots. He QBs the PP, he gets his chances now that everyone's concerned with Phil the net and Joff Loop.

One thing I will say is that I've noticed Liles' abscence on the point. Esp. PP. He really connects the wingers on the half boards with the other point man

@Jeffler EXCLUSIVE: Nazem Kadri, Luke Schenn, and a 1st have been traded to Miami for Lebron James #bigtop6forward #leafs #tmltalk

made me lol

Gotta be trade.

Jay Freaking Rosehill is playing for Kadri.

probably has more to do with the fact this game is gonna be a rough one

MORE TRADE CLAUSE!

Lidstroms fault

u call him Whitey?

Smells like a trade is all but done. It seems that Kadri would be a natural, with his uptempo game, against the Senators. Schenn also, is a head scratcher, because he usually has better games against Ottawa. Something is happening. Why Gardiner in, since he hasn't played an NHL game for a while? Probably some cap issues with whoever we are dealing with. Possibly the need to play another game or two, to balance the cap hit.

Gardiner is in cause the last 2 games Leafs couldn't get the puck past center ice, and the PP has been terrible. They need a puck mover.

He was sent down and called up in the span of what? 32 hours?

I can't argue with Yost on that assessment.

He's actually one of the better bloggers on this site. And he ripped Damien Cox a new one in a recent Yost Post.

If whitey was 5 inches taller he would be amazing, as it is now I would still take him back on the leafs anytime.

Yeah, what do you guys call him?

Guy I worked with played hockey growing up with Neil. Got into a fight with him one time on the ice. Neil kicked his ass

spinning a guy off balance while he hits you in the face more than you hit him is not kicking someone's ass

At least we'll have an easier time playing the Bruins

Nahh, we already have someone around 7 feet tall on the team.

He was sent down and called up in the span of what? 32 hours?
- AngryWhiteMale

He was sent down specifically to play in 1 game with the Marlies, than called back up to most likely play tonight.

He hadn't played in a couple games, so Burke wanted to get him into a game on the weekend so sent him down so he could play Sunday's game.

Yes, he is over paid. And last year he was atrocious. This year, while still making more than he should, he has been one of the Leafs best defenders. He makes too much for a shut-down guy, I won't argue that. But he's still been much better than most of our other d-men this season.

Do you actually watch hockey?

Yeah, what do you guys call him?

..but it is entertaining......domi ruled the spin cycle.

He played with the Marlies on Sunday, got a game in. Marlies are off till Saturday, and LEafs need his puck moving ability

I knew you were just like all the other devils.

Lol, I don't know anything about the fight. It was back when they were in junior or something. My buddy though says that he got his ass kicked by Neil lol, and I'll take his word for it.

I can't argue with Yost on that assessment.

still speculation

kadri has been reverting back to a bit of hot dogging (i dont think he should be sat but whatever) and the sens have a couple guys the leafs need to match up physically too.. hence rosehill

schenn is getting sat (if true) because out of the 6 guys who have been playing, he's been the most inconsistent
