Hope the Leafs pluck Jokinen, but something tells me he'll be swiped up by another team lower in the standings....surprised Carolina couldn't land anything for him.

Ribero?

Maybe his contract is a problem. I don't know just speculating.

I half expected a slapper from him.

Is there such a thing as a Shoot Out Specialist?

1. It is too random.
2. Who has a hot hand.
3. Aren't All These Guys Supposed To Be Shootout Specialists?

Too many pundits think this is like the DH is baseball when it fact, it is just dumb luck combined with existing skill.

3 million per until 2013-2014 isn't that bad...

He'd be the highest paid player on the Islanders then by 1.5 Million...so he won't go there.




Just kidding.

Antropov's stick and puck was at the face off circle but his body was still at the blueline.

Pretty sure with Antro his body was still at center ice.. he didnt take many strides before he shot it.. right into the center of the logo.

Someone call for a shootout specialist?

I like the idea of Jokinen McClement Komarov being our checking line.

Gives us some depth to package a couple roster players together for a better piece.

Also he has a 53% success rate on penalty shots.

Watching the Leafs this year my biggest concern is how much chasing we do in our own end.
