kessel was kinda like nylander when he was here. 50% liked him, 50% hated him

edit: probably more like 70/30 to be honest
- daeth

Kinda but not really.

Kessel cost a lot (not his fault).

Nylander was free.

Just that cap hit per goal/point ratio that sucks right now.

you know it's bad when you don't no hit the jays
- daeth

So in summary, it seems like (at least looking at the stats instead of watching the games, otherwise known as Tannering) there was only one really brutal game in Boston, refereeing-wise.
- Atomic Wedgie

Now the most important part, the actual penalties themselves.

Halak in the playoffs eh?


- Scabeh

If only it was 2010 again

I remember a lot of people calling him too soft and couldn’t win a cup with him.

Kinda like Willie
- Santo_44

I dont recall anyone saying you cant win a cup with willie.

Outside of maybe aa....who clearly dislikes him.

Ohh don't worry, I've had to remind ALOT of people about how they would have kept Halak over Price back then.

As someone who always believed in Price... it was very, very sweet to do.
- Scabeh

I was always on the trade Price train. Because I didn't want the Habs to keep Price because he's Carey (frank)ing Price.

1- Gallagher (most punchable face in existence and his douchey actions of always running goalies fits his stupid face perfectly)

2- Marchand (don't care how good he is a the hockeying part, he's a goof)

3- Roussel ((frank)ing clown shoes)
- GreatGigInTheSky

Running goaltenders? Gallagher is just the best at standing right in the front of the goalie and driving defensemen completely mad because he won't back down.. He's a warrior.

I have never seen him do anything dangerous to a goaltender in his career. At best, he'd slightly bump into one.

I do understand how you could hate his face though, he looks like quite the irritating guy to play against.

(frank)ing love him.

Last playoff, Kadri and Bozak led the team in PiM's.


This year, we've upgraded on Bozak and hopefully, Kadri doesn't do anything stupid again

I honestly don't think I'd be able hold stop myself from slapping him when he squints his beady little eyes.

It’s a different team right now, the leafs are much better than they were in the past.

I take “you don’t need Willie to win” in the same context.

Willie is a 1st line player, he helps any team win a cup.

I think this is the year we beat em.

And convincingly.

As long as Friddie plays like Friddie.

I think we see Halak in game 3. I think Rask will struggle against the Leafs offence.
- Santo_44

Ive been saying leafs in 6.
I don't believe it will be convincingly (if it is, awesome) it will be a battle.
But its time to slay the dragon

We finally agree on something...

Leafs in 6.

Please tell me you hate all Habs players.

I don't want to give you hope.

Nah, those arent the same context...specially for this team.
Im hoping willie can be a big part of a bunch of playoff victories

Just like Lucic.
- RickJames77

(frank) Lucic.

The only reason I don't hate him anymore is because of how irrelevant he is now.

What a (frank)ing bullet we dodged when he decided to go to Edmonton instead of Montreal in his UFA year.

- Fakepartofme

I believe it is.

One team was horrible, one team is very good.

Both situations we have fans not wanting them on the team with winning a cup as the goal.

And I believe he will. The Leafs will need him to be good...he’s an elite player there is no reason for him to not be for the next 6 years.

Edmonton wishes he was irrelevant.

He's very relevant.

Sadly, horribly, immovably relevant.

It’s not on the same level, but it reminds me of what fans are doing to Nylander right now.

Last season there were a bunch of people who legitimately believed Nylander could be better than Marner. It’s (frank)ing nuts what a bad 20-30 games can do to a fans opionion on an elite talent.
- Santo_44

So what you're saying is Nylander > Price

Nick Kypreos?
- Atomic Wedgie

For the sake of my Habs joke, I won't allow it.

I believe it is.

One team was horrible, one team is very good.

- Santo_44

We have a lot of fans that are just never gonna be happy, no matter what happens.

Leafs could win the Cup, and some people will still say: "Yeah, but Nylander was a -2 in that game"

Edmonton wishes he was irrelevant.

He's very relevant.

He's like a giant intestinal blockage
