Refreshing to look at the box score and see that no player played under 10 min. When has that ever happened?

Something Toronto can offer is guaranteed $$$ over multiple years. We could pay Hitchcock twice as much as what St. Louis can if we want. For Hitchcock, maybe he's sick of having great seasons then running into the defending stanley cup champion. Maybe it's time for a new challenge (a big one...

MacArthur could be on that list. He had a certain compete level. I've been frustrated with the coaching as randy has really sucked, and wish he was fired after their mid season slump. Something is off. But, I'm now very concerned with the personnel of the team. Long term contracts that look...

Hasn't that been the recipe since the lockout? Other then last yr, when we drafted kadri, and when we traded picks to Bos that actually turned out to be very high, it feels like we've finished 9th or 10th every yr. I wouldn't be surprised if we lead in 9th/10th place finishes

When Bozak wasn't able to play game 7 last year, it was a huge blow, as he was the only centre that I felt could compete against the strong core of Bruin centres...that is when I knew he actually had value. His contract is great for what he brings, and is there another player on the team that...

Nice graph. I'm not too worried about the Rags, anticipate (especially with their easy schedule) that they will be locked in the top 3 in the metro division. 2 of the Leafs/Habs/Lightning/Wings will get a top 3 spot in the Atlantic...huge as they will avoid the Bruins/Pens in the 1st round...

That was some of the worst defensive coverage I have seen. The leafs look so silly chasing around the puck, leaving habs players so blatantly open all other the ice. It ain't working, randy.

The game against the Canucks is a perfect example of this - Burrows highsticked Kessel and dropped his gloves trying to entice him into a fight. Did McClaren being on the bench for all but 1 min 32 sec scare him? Not at all.

Good thing he will have mclaren to keep him company for 57 min tonite. Side note: last game paul Maclean played everybody at least 10 min on the sens. My guess is they plan on rolling 4 lines and try to grind down the leafs top 2 lines. Probably every team's plan vs the buds.

Ironic - A loss to the Leafs essentially ended Carlyle's run in Anaheim. They won the next game vs the Habs but his fate was sealed. After Anaheim?s seventh straight defeat last Sunday night, a dispassionate 5-2 loss to Toronto, Carlyle lamented that his players sometimes seemed to be ?dead...

It starting to hurt watching Dion make so many mistakes with his fat contract looming.. Seeing him on 24/7 picking out a suit and going out of his luxury house with his luxury car with his hollywood wife - just made him look like a prima donna. Maybe there is a reason he is so disliked in the...

It's hockey 101. Pretty easy to cover players when they aren't moving. The puck seemed so slippery around the Leafs players in the first 2 periods it felt like a joke. It hurt watching Clarkson. Terrible puck management overall.

I was at the Panthers game on Monday  and some things I noticed that may or may not have been evident on tv: - The players were VERY quiet. No communication on the bench at all, no communication on the ice. It was strange as even my beer league team pump each other up on the bench and talk...
