Actually steals the puck so well, starts many plays that way. Very nifty with his stick.

well yeah..

somehow the NHL managed to make the game quicker but still aren't scoring more goals.. I think a lot of players from the "dead puck" era are some of the best of all time..

Sid should be top 5 all time when hes done.

Totally agree. And, they are all so humble, they would say the other 4 are better..

Crazy skills he uses, through the legs, behind his back off the boards to his stick. Love the way he plays. Marner is a beast too, but OMG am I glad to have a big #1 center finally.

and like Babs said they can both drive a line offensively, tougher for teams to matchup against. The team is just a joy to watch this season, if they make playoffs I will be ecstatic and if not, bummer but the skill is there, solid foundation for the next few years.

Just stick to the plan. In management I trust.

They also have a secret weapon.. They can put them on a line together if they need to.

I wonder if Kap or Bracco will improve the offense even more next year.. if thats even possible.

Poor Reimer ..was a good goalie for the Leafs...but an average old backup is better to some fans
- senstroll


It wasn't anything to do with Reimers play. Just his chaotic, battle for the puck playstyle.

- senstroll


He's actually blocking more shots than he ever has. Boucher expects more defense.

He made them all answer questions after the last loss to the media

The Atlantic is unraveling.. Leafs need to take full advantage.

Bracco will probably be AHL bound. He hasn't been as good or very good since going to Windsor. Kap should make the team though.

I have met him, he was exactly as you would expect Sid to be. Humble, cordial, polite. Spent about 1.5 hours with him, we were buying clothes. Me a suit, he bought 16 pairs of pants.

They start with a size 38 for him and tailor them into a 33 inch waist.

I'd add him for the right price.

Reilly, Zaitsev, Barrie, Gardiner, Nielsen, Dermott looks fine to me.

Thats pretty cool man...

The only NHLer's i get to hang around are the ones who have a cottage near my aunts island in Muskoka... Lindros, Clarke (never met him but see him seadooing), Tucker etc... Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel also live nearby...

The first player i met was Mike Johnson haha... It was just afrer his rookie year and he was in Port Carling at the G&CC.. i was so shy.. i could hardly speak.

I remember saying how I would love to get burns on the leafs if he made it to FA.
Some people freaked saying he was overrated.

WOW what a season so far.
