There is no problem, other 8th seeds who were suppose to be 8th seeds have made good runs in the playoffs....forget about the kings.
Run over?
Last I checked the Leafs and rangers were 2 -2 this past season.
Hardly ran over.
So give me a break.

Reimer vs. Lundqvist........stop it already.

I enjoyed posting here this past season when UG was banned. Now every time I come to the site to check the leaf blog I come in wondering what idiotic argument UG is in for 20 pages. They're usually the same thing, Kessel, Doughty, Napolean, Faksa, Phaneuf, or Burke.

He was perma banned and his name or picture didnt show up. He found a way past it.


no idea why they brought him back.

But whatever, I guess lol

I've always wondered why Burke didn't trade Lombardi for a 1st rounder at the deadline...

Morning, everyone.

cause it was only the 4th overall, he was holding out for a first overall

Contract terms on Leafs' Leo Komarov: entry level deal, one year, $1.2-million cap hit. $350,000 of that is bonuses.

Why are they paying him more than he got in the K? He won't even make the team.

Uggie seems to think he's already done enough to earn a spot on the Leafs' roster next year.

No really, I'm not kidding.

I also like how they list him as 5'11"

Three weeks ago, he was 5'10"

My prediction? He sits out the entire 2012-13 season when they find out he has a pituitary gland problem, which is causing growth spurts at the age of 25.

Quit lying. You are not.

For real! I'm done with him...

He wouldn't tell me who on the current leafs roster can play Nashville, NJ, or Pheonix hockey...

Until I get an answer to that question...him and I are broken up.

Something tells me he will, I wonder if this is a if he doesn't make the team, he goes back type of deal.

He is going to play defense, They figure he will be a cheaper tougher alternative to Komi.

No mention on the press release if it is a 1-way or 2-way deal.

I'm wondering (and I'd love Frenchie to chime in here) if the golden age of the KHL is coming to a close. If Russians and other Euros are starting to think that it isn't a viable alternative to the NHL (and paying your dues in the AHL).

Yeah, the money may be better for some, but the ridiculous travel, sub-par arenas, etc. might be taking its toll on a lot of guys.

Don;t forget the sketchyness of some teams over there.

Putting drugs in your bag so you can get kicked off the team without pay or something like that.

I normally leave him be... but the other week I got talk about what kind of money Staal would get on the open market... he called me foolish for thinking he could get as much as 7 mill, but he was sure he would take a 'discount' to stay in Pitt for 6 mill.

He just loves to argue.

cause he'll make a sweet linemate of Marcel Muller in the Marlies

I think you guys are really misunderestimating* his trash-talking abilities.

He speaks four languages, you know...




*Yeah, don't. Just don't.
