On a bright note....I can depend on burn and the rest of the rw axemen to come out and blame him for tonight's upcoming loss....completely ignoring how poop gus is.

Winnipeg is tied too. Bet they get at least a point if not the win. Too late to hop om the Jets bandwagon?

Actually, that's the second. Clarkson's was pretty soft too.

sorry, good point, i should of said

"at least one a game"

Ah, yes, there's the Gus we know and love.

3 goals on 21 shots. One softie. One so-so. One legit.
- Leeman4Gilmour

But it's not the 30-shot mark yet.

What do you guys think of Poni, excluding the goal?

I know he was said to disappear, but we haven't seen much of that yet. He's really just playing the grind-it-out go-to-net game on the third line, so maybe that's a change over top six minutes?

After he got hit, he like moved up for some odd reason as if he wanted to look over Franson's stick and Poni shot it high five-hole. Watch the replay. Its hard to fault him on that one. It wasn't on the ice.

Clarkson's goal was a smart play by Clarkie getting behind the d-man creating a screen. He shot it quick too, so it surprised Gus and it went five-hole. Try being a goalie, it's not as easy as you think in that situation, you really have to hope it hits you.

You're asking Leaf fans what we think of Poni? Let's just say that he would've had his choice of car and driver should he have needed a lift to Pearson Airport when he was traded.

thing is, as an allaire butterfly goalie he should defalt to his set position, if the stick is there.. it doesnt go in

and i have played goalie

Which means he can make the next 18 saves. Time for a period of 5-forward units.

Soft, yes, but certainly not as easy as it seems.

i am allowed to female dog dammit!

Well, the man with the only weapon makes the rules, its just how it goes.

Of course, and I wanted to see if his play today was different than what TO fans were saying about him.

he's playing great for you guys.. its good to see.. i guess my biggest complaint of him as a leaf fan was he didnt really ever use his size properly.

Price.

Price and Kaberle for Reimer, Schenn, Kuli and 1st

He's worse!

In Philly, put him back on a poop team, and he will stand on his head again.

Montreal already has a goalie?

I can't fault him in NJ. Maybe not hard hitting, but uses his body to protect the puck.

Seems like he likes it here. Playing with Zubrus and Bernier, both are almost identical kind of players. They all just grind it out and go to the net, turning into DeBoer's go-to line.

Holy crap would Montreal ever suck if they made that deal.

he seems to be thriving in deboer's system and its good to see.. think the devils look to ink him again in the offseason? suppose it would depend on asking price.

It takes the right situation to get the most out of some guys. Maybe the same thing could happen with penner?
