i guess your right

concussions are not injuries either, right?

How many games did he miss due to a concussion?

I think his actions should be what we judge him by. Not what he "Says"... No he didn't make a move at the deadline to make the team better, you're right...

You know what else he didn't do at the deadline? He didn't trade draft picks or prospects in a panic...

Vesa Toskala? Raycroft? Owen Nolan?

Those deals, those types of deals have been what has set this organization as far back as it is. I wish I was talking playoffs and Leafs right now, but I'm not. But I'm damn happy I'm not talking about deals Burke made that would have given us a playoffs orgasm this year and set us back another two years...

Next year is next year, at this moment in time, this is how I feel. But I've said it before. IMO BB should get the term he was offered and signed for....

Not to mention losing Roberts, Newi, Sundin, Tucker, McCabe, Leetch all for nothing and drafting like crap.

- big_dion

Youre wrong. Just deal with it.

Oh... That's right, you're in his head and you know he won't re-sign right? That's right, I forgot for a minute how hockeybuzz works...
- PTVinnyMac

You think he's gonna want to stay around if the team misses the playoffs every year he's there?

Maybe he will.... I dunno.

I get the impression he doesnt like the spotlight much though, and Toronto is a rather big one.

if they were i'd be disabled

Whats it matter if Kessel scores 50 goals a year and the Leafs are still a lotto team.

He'll be gone by the time they turn it around.
- robin_steele264

Kessel is 24 or so... I think he will be fine for 6-8 years... if we are a lotto team for the next 8 years...we will be Edm oilers x2 version 2.0 superlottoteam

Alright whatever, I guess its Brian Burke appreciation day in here.


enough from me about it.

Hey Cheeseman.

How many games did he miss due to a concussion?
- robin_steele264

tim connolly has played more games in his last 2 seasons.

need i say more?

ok i will. here is a brief snyposis of a player who is injury prone because of the way he plays the game, did i say he sucks? no, did i say he gets injured a decent amount...yes.

The second-year player, taken first overall in the 2010 draft, has had a history of injuries in his first two seasons.

A little more than a year ago, he had a season-ending ankle injury after a fight with the Columbus Blue Jackets' Derek Dorsett.

This season, he missed time with a shoulder injury and also fell in warmups and was cut in the face by a teammate's skate.

This cold almost defeated me couldn't shake it, stayed away from the girls for a while not to give it to them, just really tired now, lost a lot of sleep.

Still really busy, huh? What section/area are you working n?

Alright whatever, I guess its Brian Burke appreciation day in here.

- robin_steele264

Dude, it's not BB appreciation day, it's talk about finally viewing the Leafs built properly. Name me a GM who could do better, or would have done better than BB the last 4 years....

Is this big_dion always like this? This is great entertainment.

Back from a meeting boys....what I miss!?
