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.

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 think the pressure in Vancouver to win is pretty close to here, people that live there can probably answer to what degree of pressure better than I.

NHL Blue Jackets ‏@BlueJacketsNHL
#CBJ finalize trade to acquire G Sergei Bobrovsky from Flyers for 45th & 117th picks in 2012 Draft & 4th rd pick (from PHX) in 2013 Draft.
- bobbyisno1

So, the Jackets essentially traded Ottawa's 2nd round pick, Vancouver's 4th round pick this year, and PHX 4th round pick next year. All while keeping their own picks.

haha

I sing Beatle songs to myself while I am waiting for the play to enter my zone. It keeps me sharp.

I think thats the consensus so far....but there will likely be some sort of asset going the other way, dont kid yourselves. I have a feeling Burke WILL move an asset, but like Dreger said, only with a salary dump as well.

Could be Howson's best move in a while! But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, there's still plenty of time for good ol' Scotty Boy to (frank) up today!

Salary dump would have to be Komisarek IMO - the other potentials for a dump only have one year remaining - Komi has two

Yes I know. But we'll count it. Cause it makes me giggle thinking of a goalie or defenseman singing a song about love and tolerance.

Then why not "All you need is love"

- LeafMan

I completely disagree though....Vancouver is looking to make the playoffs and win the cup now. They wont accept anything less from their team right now. Most of us are happy with just making the playoffs, some actually even want us to lose and tank...the pressure here is wishy washy...

Lightning fast. Can't stop. Makes excellent passes to himself against the boards. Selfish puck-holder, and self proclaimed super-star at the local rink.

Too bad the Leafs already have a trash-talking superstar in Komarov.

Oh, wait - Uggie's been banned.

No point in going into my Komarov tirade again.

Darn.

... Canucks fans over there are saying that the Bobrovsky trade has increased Luongo's value YET AGAIN because there's "one less goalie on the market!"

What does the Bobrovsky trade mean to Toronto, Vancouver and Luongo?

To Vancouver: One less potential trading partner/option in Columbus

To Toronto: WHO CARES?!?! Bobrovsky was never on the Leafs radar!!!

Result: Luongo's value decreases.
