We can also look at who is not buying in to this better style of hockey before the end of the season or even the trade deadline.

Lost 5 of 6 since the hot streak...the 18 wheeler powered up the hill by opportune scoring and Bernier has broken through the guard rails and is heading for the edge.

What a terrible effort by Bozak there how many times goes Gardiner have to sit for the vets on this team to get the message?

Yes he has defensive and mobility downsides, but he's leading the D corps in points for the 3rd season in a row.  Nobody else back there seems to get shots through to the net the way he does.  That snapshot of his is world-class IMO and I think many teams would pay quite a bit to have that in...

Indeed I really hope he doesn't make too many more long term commitments before he's out. I look at the Phaneuf and Clarkson contracts as handi-capping (pun semi-intentional) the Leafs for at least 6 more years and hope he can't do too much more damage...those signings happened before Shanahan...

Aw man Leafs offense exploded in the 2nd and I missed it. When I checked the thread after the first it was all doom and gloom fire everyone so I didn't rush home for the 2nd.

It's lame even when you're on the other side of it (the gushing).  He's good we get it.

I guess we're beating this horse to a pulp so...imagine how good Kessel could be if he got in shape?

Nice!!!  That was an EA NHL style stop and cut across the front of the net hah..usually doesn't work in the real NHL What's the deal with Colorado?  Their fancy new coach smell wear off?

Yeah that's probably what the note says and the guy just interpreted it wrong LUPUL oh man so nice to see him hot again

Avs announcer just said Kessel has not missed a game for the Leafs since coming from Boston...only true if you don't count the first 12 he missed with shoulder injury I think it was

Bernier's 5-hole was cavernous on that first goal he looks really rusty

PERIOD MTL TOR 1st 6 11 2nd 13 7 3rd 13 9 Total 32 27 Maybe they just need time to settle in with all the changes...but yeah looking like same ol' team.  Are they too out of shape to skate with other teams for 60 minutes or something? I still dislike Carlyle enough that I wonder if a bad...

I'm thinking you know what might make a team play soft by those metrics?  Rolling only 3 lines and always being more fatigued than the opposing top 3 lines the end of the game.  Hard to see how Leafs top 9 guys are supposed to find consistency in outdoing the opposition at shot blocking, corner...

It's not that the Komarov deal alone is that bad or going to sink this thing, 3M is not that much money compared to 5.25M for water bottle patrol.  Hell if I was still optimistic I might just look forward to seeing what he can do for us (ie. Komisarek and Armstrong signings, although there's two...

Well now they've signed Komarov...for almost 3M for a 4th liner. Between that and other moves (mainly keeping Carlyle and moving Gunnarsson) I have very very low expectations for the team for the next few years.  Not even sure I will watch next year, going to be ugly I think.

You had me until this part.  Leafs GMs all the way back to Ferguson (or even Quinn, Fletcher) have been under pressure to produce results in the short term and I don't see it changing the next rotation of this merry-go-round.  Even if any of those guys (or the next guy) wanted to provide the...

Unbelievable.  Loser organization rewards losing. How is next year's draft looking?  I don't think it will be long before we're flipping the standings upside down and looking at them that way.

If he's staying, not sure I'll watch until he gets fired. That's not to say there are better options right now or that Shanny should even do it (as others are saying why bring in his guys while the team is still so suspect talent-wise) but I just have zero confidence that Carlyle can turn the...

As someone who got caught up in the Burke hype there's no way I'm getting optimistic about anything. The sad part about that whole adventure was we still don't know for sure if Burke was progressing towards a winner or not since Nonis made alot of questionable moves since taking over (that when...
