No, but we have loads of average prospects!

jays season is around the corner.

will you hide in your appartment til the end of the season to come out and bash them for not making the playoffs too?

The Leafs need to sign Vokoun during the offseason, with him alone, we'd instantly win 20-30 more games.

Haha. I really find it weird that you guys aren't more pissed about the TML epic fail. It's kind of like, yeah, "hit me again while I'm down, wouldja, I like it!"

Flyers did it in about 30 seconds last season....

kinda easy when you already have a few all star pieces in place first lol



and in fairness post lockout the first couple years were rough ones for you guys

I lie on the ground,
and stare into space,
the stars start to move,
into the shape of a leaf.

I see you there now,
looking down at me,
with that cute little smile,
that I like to see.

You say "close your eyes",
"tell me what you see",
I see only a mediocre team
and no playoffs

We're walking the shoreline,
with our feet getting wet,
the horizon turns pink,
as the sun starts to set.

We make love through the night,
on that white sandy shore,
then I hold you while thinking,
I could want nothing more, except a decent team

Oh I wish you could be
in that one special place,
as I lie on the ground,
and I stare into space...
Only to hope for better days yet to come

Go Leafs Go.

Ya its only pre-season..... But, things look promising

If the Jays contend that is a good omen for the Leafs.

Last time the Leafs were this bad was in the 80's, the Blue Jays then became perennial contenders, and the Leafs soon followed suit

man.. i dont know how old you are but do you remember the 80s leafs?

makes these guys look golden

there is nothing happening now that can even compare to the ballard years.. nothing.. not even two firsts and a second

- ThePresident

Thats what the Caps thought this year - bubble team with Vokoun in net
And WSH is a perceived better team than the Leafs - not sure Vokoun is the answer

Im in charge of developing players. I want to

a) Leave my prospect to play with a winning/successful team while developing his own game and getting stronger
b) Pull him up in the NHL on a losing team when hes not fully ready and expose him to the crazy media and losing streak that was the Leafs.

But youre right...the "Leafs" needed him right away....made no sense to let him develop some more on a winning team....we needed him really bad to try and make the playoffs.....?

I hear ya, but Kadri was drafted 3 YEARS AGO!!! At some point you need to bring these players (1st round picks) in to see if they can hang with "the big boys" for an extended period of time.

How does giving Kadri 2 or 3 games at a time with the Leafs help?

How does playing with practically CAREER AHLer's like Zigomanis, Dupuis and Finger and a bunch of other guys who will NEVER even get a shot help?

The fact that Dupuis has played 30 games versus Kadri's 21 games is a fu
ckin' disgrace!

They also drafted or acquired those pieces, it was built not handed over to them.

I loved Ballard's seats - only if his cane could have reached down onto to they ice and knocked around Miroslav Frycer et al

Kari scored on that shootout...... caused us a point.

That is in direct violation of the current plan......... demotion was inevitable

I do remember, actually. Was trying to repress that down inside actually. Thanks for bringing that up again. It was FUGLY, wasn't it. A little Freddy Boimstruck action on the D, a little Stew Gavin forecheck up front, got yer Jiri Cihra between the pipes. Good times!

Brett Lawrie BEAST!!!!

what are you talking about?

their only first round pick (that they themselves drafted) in their lineup is JVR

and he's hardly the difference maker on the team

Touche. Tank Nation NEEDS to happen!

Perhaps Kadri, Colborne and maybe even Hamilton AKA "FRESH BLOOD" should have been brought in in mid February when it was painfully obvious that the Leafs were starting to slide can could have used a spark from a couple of the younger guys.
