keep telling yourself that if it feels better, but I'm afraid wishing won't make it so.

Im not into social networking crap. i use twitter for the sports news and updates. Nice way of giselle to throw the receivers under the bus. drops are part of the game. the pats should know that considering they got there cause of evans not securing the ball and a missed chip shot. also, that wes welker one wasn't a good throw either. not the easiest catch to make. guess she forgot when brady threw an int and intentional grounding in the endzone that ended up costing them 9 points. you win and lose as a team. giselle should keep her mouth shut and stick to modelling
- bonzo11


a paragraph from bonzo

i agree with what ya said, and brady seemed off for most of the game, other than that drive before halftime and after, its like since his last sb he has gotten cocky and expects the win now

his wife is just sore......in many ways

This is a rumour (Cdn) / rumor (U.S.) site, is it not?

Why are you holding back on the names Ek?

All at the exact same time too I take it? Good thing you know how to sensationalize...can I try;

Reimer
Armstrong
Conolly
Liles
Bozak
Maccarthur
Brown
Orr
Gunnar missed a couple I think
Lombardi missed a couple too

See I can name players that missed a couple games too. Maybe Buff should fire Ruff AND their conditioning staff...

- PrairieLeafFan


Reimer - good player
Armstrong - who cares
Connolly - who cares he is your 3rd line center
Bozak - Good player
MacCarther - decent player, nothing special
Brown - garbage
Orr - garbage
Gunnar - missed 1 game
Lombardi - missed 17 games so far - he would be what.. a 4th line center??

who is going to knock them out of a spot? i would be a little more concerned about the sabres than the leafs...

concerned Pegula might get desperate and make Darcy trade their potential lottery pick?

Washington and TB both could knock them out...

washington is a VERY talented team with a good goalie they just aren't playing inspired right now like Buffalo isn't either..

TB is another very talented team that has no goaltending right now.. If they come up with a goalie at the trade deadline.. they could be dangerous they were in the Eastern Finals last year...

Dude you listed Leino, Boyes, and Hecht in yours. not to mention Ellis, Ennis and Gaustad.

Just look at all that elite talent out of your lineup

Nothing Special would be 2nd on your team on goals. Only 2 behind the 7 million dollar man Vanek

TB is also what 8pts out and they have a very tough schedule the next 5 or so games, and they have no D

the got to the ECF due to pitts missing malkin and crosby, and took them to 7, and well the caps dont know how to play in the playoffs

yea... you know Boyes.. the guy who has had a better career year than anyone on the entire Maple Leafs roster... 7 more goals and 8 more points than Kessel has every gotten.

Dude Tampa is only 1 pt ahead of the Sabres. Not a chance in hell they make the playoffs...

Washington will likely knock out Ottawa. Winnipeg is playing themselves out of it lately. Win by the Leafs tonight could put them down for good.

I'm just sick of reading all this crap about welker dropping the ball. without him, they wouldn't have had the chance to play in the game. he is one of the most reliable receivers in the game. dude caught over 100 passes this past year. Imagine how he must have felt after dropping that pass. Defense still had an opportunity to get a stop and they had another shot with the ball. Both failed.

giselle probably didn't know what football was before tom brady. Brady was outplayed as well

Seems legit... nothing the Jets couldn't make up in the remaining 30 games of the season... 60 total points is not enough to make it up..

oh burn. you got me. And if he had scored even close to 40 goals COMBINED in the last 3 seasons, this might be relevant...

Good thing you're paying him $4M a year though if he finishes strong, he might end up with 7

I don't like their defense either. TB needs to make up 11 points on Toronto right now. very tough to do at this point of the season. 3 point games etc. Washington will make it, but they still have a shot at the division. i like the leafs over the senators and panthers at this point imo

LMAO Your list is the same;

And when Miller was out..

Gerbe (that troll doll is much too small, who cares)
Ennis (decent, nothing special),
Gaustad (who cares...hes only in the top 6 due to lack of choice),
Regehr (decent, nothing special),
Erhoff (dont know enough about him so I will say decent, nothing special)
Myers (covered this, he is playing dismal this year)
Leino (you really want to discuss his impact?)
Boyes (decent, on par with Maccarthur),
and Hecht (who?! LOL JK decent, but not worthy of saying he impacted the teams misfortunes)...


Out of all those names, only one or two really could be considered impact players and the only reason some of the players are even in the top 6 forwards is because of the system Buff employs and lack of organization depth. Most other teams, almost all the players would be tweeners playing on 3rd lines and sometimes making it to the 2nd line as a injury replacement.

yup.

(frank)ing Komisarek had a beauty one of those last week. Weak pass up the middle got picked off, and he changed

Franson took exactly 2 strides : goal, -1

- Big_Lightnin

Gotta at least be a 10 sec on the ice rule man, cause you could just send er up the middle and skate to the bench like that, man that gotta suck for the other dude.

They can have a tough schedule but I would never count guys out with the names of Stamkos, St. Louis, and Lecavelier.

Toronto has 4 games in hand on TB as well.. Say TB wins those 4 games.. they are seperated by 4 points... its a lot closer than you think buddy

ya should be. Not like they can't look at it for accuracy...

Bowan even made fun of Komi for that one. "Great veteran move there avoiding the minus by Komisarek"
