Bolland's injury was hugely significant imo. Centre was already thin with him in there, and his hustle influenced the whole team imo. Strange to say a third line centre can be a game changer but I think that applies to Bolland.

Amen, brutha.

nobody on these boards is going to the classic?
hell is wrong with u leafers.

Bolland is that guy.
- Atomic Wedgie

Maybe on a part-time basis. I think because of Bozak's signing and the chemistry he has with Kes, we'll never truly have a #1 guy, just a bunch of 2s and 3s.

Bolland has always struggled when he's been asked to be more than a 3C. I also wouldn't expect much from him coming back from that injury.

You think he should probably just retire?

It's because nobody in Detroit has a job.

Detroit to China, in exchange for $1.3 trillion in U.S treasury bonds.

Attention career Leafs trolls on HB: your opinions and comments have zero credibility, so why bother?

Lime or blueberry?

Free donair sauce for you.

No, just takes time to get back to form.

I think you're making a sick joke there.... I will ask Yeti for confirmation on this...

You're right, Bolland is the best.

Hmmmmmmm....

Six hour drive. Lines at border.

New Year's Eve in a motel in Ann Arbor.

Pay $$$ to sit in a freezing cold stadium to "watch" a game that will be so far away you won't be able to see the puck.

Another night in a motel.

Six hour drive home. Long lines at border.

I'll pass.

You're right, Bolland is the best.
- golfingsince

May not be the best. But he sure as (frank) was missed as soon as he went down. If he was in the line up I don't think the Leafs would be as poop as they are now.

The Chinese would like the Red Wings too, especially the color scheme.

I'll go with lime.

So your favourite Haterade flavour is lime.

Noted.

I know how good Bolland is bro, just saying that he has struggled whenever he's been asked to be more than a 3C and that's with some pretty outstanding linemates in Chicago.

Also, that injury is a really tough one to come back from. I've seen KB struggle with it twice, and then there was Karlsson last season.

Eight points in their last five games.

We obviously need to cut Kadri and start over.
