Did we get a new referee or something?

It seems weird that we don't have our regular trolls out today.

I got the same impression that he was a selfish player from the Juniors and his time in Edmonton, as well. But he really was the puck carrier, and I think that's bound to create that type of impression. That said . . . he was traded for Adam Larsson straight up. I don't like Peter Chiarelli at all, but that deal has "getting rid of Taylor Hall" written all over it. He and his entire management team couldn't possibly have mis-evaluated Larsson that poorly.

When I compare him with Phil - I loved Phil. He had game breaking ability. He didn't necessarily make others around him better, and he sure didn't know who the team's goalie was - but he could change a game on a dime. What I like about Hall's game is that there is pretty much non-stop effort, even if a lot of is misdirected. I used to be certain he was in for a career ending injury the way he would tear towards the boards at top speed leading with his face, or falling skates first into them.

This big time. I honestly had never seen anyone as reckless as he was, especially at his top end speed which was more than exceptional. Even then, I thought “WTF are you doing?” He scared me, and I’m not BS’ing. Chiarelli avoiding a liability issue. Lol.

This talk of Kessel is making me miss him a little bit.

Do you think he would ever consider coming back to the after this contract ends?

It would make us all appreciate Nylander's defensive game more.

I loved Kessel. If he had been a gym rat he would go into the HOF. If he had Crosby's work ethic.

I have been reliably informed (against my own recollection) that Kessel is a "battler" and cares more than Nylander.

Anyway, probably a terrible idea.

Eichel likes to play the Leafs. Meaningful games on a big stage vs a likely adversary in AM. Gave him some motivation. He sure was excited when he scored against the Leafs. If TriEichel wasn’t so butt ugly and didn’t wear dresses, I’d say he’d be a pretty decent Leaf. Of course he can only dream.

His lack of training gave him the energy during games. He's playing 4D chess and will beat Marleau for most games played when all is said and done.

He was a gym rat.

The notion that the guy was out of shape was complete B.S.

Even Damien Cox admitted it. He always tested at the top of the fitness tests at training camps.

I love the idea, because every single time the Leafs have brought back a fan favourite to close out his career, it's worked out really, really well.

That’s what I read...we just didn’t see any proof because he was a bit of an introvert. The warm-down stationary bike was all we had, and that was glorious.

He had great cardio.
People said he was out of shape because he round in face and belly...he wasnt like Seguin or slim etc.
So people said he was out of shape.

I'm gonna ignore the sarcasm and pretend you actually love the idea.
