Noename is drunk again.

Flirting with everyone.

Excellent.

Oh btw, unless you're REALLY immune to spicy stuff, DO NOT get the Dorito 1st Degree Burn chips. I got a small 90g pack today and I ate half the bag and in the process needed 3/4 of a 2l container of chocolate milk. The sad thing is that there are 2 degrees spicier And I LOVE spicy chips.

Andrew Gluck, F, age 23

Can skate pretty fast, and doesn't stop unless he hits someone(or something, or trips on his laces)... combined with his size has the makings of a good checker. Thick skull provides great protection in fights. Can bring baklava to the room. Knows some guys who can get you stuff.

YES!

Per twitter...

FAKS-ALCHENYUK *Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap*

Me and Huds cam to an agreement, he and I will be happy if the Leafs draft Galy. He and I will also be happy if The Leafs draft Faksa. His Faksa influence on me is quite large...

- PTVinnyMac


I've seen he's very in favour of Faksa. I don't know much other than we need a good center and I say Faksa or Galy, or Grigs would all be decent choices.

I wouldn't do it... Luongo isn't reliable in the playoffs, and we still haven't seen what Kadri can do... take out the 2nd, and I still wouldn't do it.

I'm not even that opposed to trading Kadri, because he doesn't seem like a guy who'd thrive with Carlyle... but I'd rather trade him for a forward, or a first.

- Feeling Glucky?

Ya not reliable at all....only got his team to the finals with two shut outs in the finals.....not reliable!

He won't thrive under Carlyle, and we have seen what he can do. The guy's missed the opportunity to make the team and earn a solid position on numerous occasions, and this is a team that isn't bursting with competition for top 6 spots.

Kadri won't make it happen here. As for Luongo, Luongo came within one win of the cup. The fact is that the team in front of him basically shat the bed.

- AngryWhiteMale

He's never really been given the opportunity. He's an offense-first player and has rarely seen any time on the big team in a role that would let him show his skill... getting paired with 3rd liners more often than not, and asked to play defence.

The guy's still filling out, he can't play his chippy style in the NHL yet, and hasn't been given much opportunity to show his offensive instincts... but on the occasions he has, he's put up points.


As for Luongo... how that team made the finals really is a mystery. I think they just got plain lucky to get that far... between his choking ways, and the general softness of the guys infront of him they were not a team built to go past the 2nd round, if even that far. He's got the skill, but under high-pressure situations he chokes harder than Sasha Grey... even his olympic gold was won in spite of his last-minute heroics for team USA... and Toronto isn't exactly a low-pressure organization.

I'll take him at low cost... Kadri, however, is not low-cost.


Also, Nonis's interview from yesterday suggests that Kadri and Schenn are here to stay...said that "Some players" may not have developed as quickly as they thought, but confident they'll still help the team long term.

- Fakepartofme

2 shut outs... and 18 goals in what, 4 games?

Why do people only ever look at one side of things?


So yea, on one hand he can do really well at shutting teams down, and other times he'll be a complete sieve.

That's the definition of not being reliable.

Coming from you, really?

Look at the defense in front of him...they hung him out to dry.
They were horrible.

Yea...Luongo...what a terrible goalie.



I wish people didnt judge him solely based on his ten year contract.

- noename09

I don't base him on that at all, I base it on his tendency to choke, his age, and the pressure of the market in Toronto...


And our defense hasn't exactly been solid either... we hope it will be under Carlyle, but there are no guarantees.

If Luongo comes cheap, he's worth the risk... if we have to give up anything of value, he's not.

I hit people. And whack at ankles. People don't like to play against me. I'm also slow, dirty and I will make momma jokes on the ice.
