When you say you are from Milwaukee I'm the one who is supposed to laugh!
- B-Leaf

I guarantee you have never been to Milwaukee.. which is why I have not bashed the city of Toronto because I have never been there..

You should really try not to be a shallow dipsh.it

No... Buffalo really probably won't.. We won't make it this year barring a miracle.. but I bet they will make it 2 times in the next 3 years..

In all seriousness, out of the current teams in 1-10th place, keeping in mind prospect depth, who do you realistically think you're going to usurp? I'm not challenging here, I'd just like to know your answer/your reasoning.

Not that it matters, but how many of the American greats were born of American parents?

Reminds me of a Don Cherry coaches' corner back in the day. He was going on about what a warrior Darius Kasparitis was, and Ron says, "Hey, Don, he's a Russian, you know!" and Cherry answers, "Well, you know a lot of those German soldiers were pretty busy during their leave time on the Eastern Front" and then sort makes a wink nudge kinda look at Maclean, who just rolled his eyes and changed the subject.

Wouldn't it be way cooler if you posted what IS likely to happen Ek?....not what isn't.
- iLive4theLeafs

Uhh, just assume everything you read isn't going to happen and this is the best site on the internets.

And this trade was always stupid from the Leafs perspective, it was never going to happen, and I bet Burke was never considering it. Twitter invention.

the pot calling the kettle black...
- MillerTime1130

Hahaha you picked one guy out of the 13 I listed as being a bad example...

I showed that both of the major points of your post were inaccurate...

It sure does....for Philly.


Giroux for Komisarek a 2nd and Lombardi. That seems fair to me.
- Juice

SOLD! no takesy backsies

So was the offer you mentioned.

Was just my way of expressing it.
- Juice

Ok, JVR for Scenn and Kadri?

SOLD! no takesy backsies

TB - no goaltenders
WPG - too shaky to maintain
TOR - shaky goaltenders AT TIMES.. have not sustained a winning season
FLA - I don't think they will be able to maintain this kind of play for numerous seasons.
NJ - Will be in shambles when Brodeur retires in a year or two
OTT - for how young they are they will not maintain their level of play - There best players are older than 35

gotta earn the paycheque somehow.

Last resort?
- Juice

If all else fails, start throwing fists. Scott Gomez, The Mexican Madman, The Alaskan Assasin, whatever.

it wasn't MY post.. it was the Florida Panthers fan's post.. way to actually know who you are trying to troll

Yeah I think Vantel is losing it.
- whipper334

You missed Eks second blog when the Canuck fans were here last night saying they would not do the trade either.

Why would I? People don't go to Milwaukee...they pass through Milwaukee...

Ok.

TB. Sure.
WPG. Sure.
TOR. No. Our depth and prospect pool is much better. You're currently correct about goaltending though.
FLA. No. They have the deepest and best prospect pool in the entire NHL. They're overplaying themselves this year, but they'll likely be a force.
NJ. Parise leaves. Sure. He stays. Maybe.
OTT, No. I hate them but they have a very strong core of young guys coming up.

So i guess realistically you could. It will be a fight though.

Eklund: Luke Schenn for JVR "not likely" according to source..for now at least
- Eklund

any habs "buy" rumours?

We would know multiple times over the last decade.. how about Toronto?
- MillerTime1130

Dude seriously, you guys have been in the league since when..1970?? 3 years removed from Torontos last cup.. And your team, the Sabres haven't won squat.. so enough rippin Toronto already.. We will win before you guys do.. You had your chance in 99 and lost..

Why would I? People don't go to Milwaukee...they pass through Milwaukee...
- B-Leaf

*facepalm*

I can see as listed as your "location" that you have the maturity level of an eggplant.. being that you are probably 17 years old you would not appreciate the fact that Milwaukee is an amazing spot for Beer, German food, and Italian food.

it wasn't MY post.. it was the Florida Panthers fan's post.. way to actually know who you are trying to troll
- MillerTime1130

The point stands. One was nit-picking, one was pointing out clearly contradicting statements.

Ok, JVR for Scenn and Kadri?
- SPIDEROCKSTAR

No dice.

I'd rather add another roster player and a 1st and get a proven 1st line centre.

- SPIDEROCKSTAR

Forget about JVR.....
Maybe all we need is to add a few cheap veterans for the playoff run and keep our prospects.

We waited a long time to fill the cupboard with youth....let's not blow it up now...

- nascarguy

Sabres were indeed created in 1970.. you have done some homework..
Maple Leafs last championship was in '67 as well...
Since the Sabres inaugural season we have lost in the Finals twice...
Maple Leafs haven't even been back to the finals!

- rob121

Yes. Scan the team lists of the entire league for any player with an even vaguely sounding French name, but who doesn't speak a word of French. Those are your targets. Actually, Spanish-y sounding names work, too.

No dice.

2nd place is just first place in a long line of losers.......... nobody remembers or cares who lost in the finals.
