I completely agree

Doubt? There is no doubt whatsoever. This was not even a minor penalty. It was nothing. This is why the NHL is a bush league: this type of unfounded call, a phantom penalty gets called while other more serious violations do not and then in the playoffs, manslaughter won't draw a minor...

Subject to OHL approval. This means Bracco will be in the Memorial Cup since Windsor has a bye as the host city. It also means Bracco likely will not be available to the Marlies.

Thank God the Matthews slump is over. That was long 3 period stretch.

Damn! Matthews is in a slump!

If ifs and buts were candies and nuts,... well you know the rest. What you see as "a couple of bad breaks" I see as a disappointing continuation of this team's habit from last year of giving up an early goal. We did it against Montreal the other night with Andersen in net and he's back in...

So you trade for a goalie from a team in California and sign him to a multi-year contract extension. Repeat. As I have said before, we could lose for a lot less money with Bernier.

Unfortunately we still seem to be giving up the early goal. I hope this is an aberration and not a sign of that trend continuing from last year.

In one respect you did answer it but you did not direct an answer to the meaning of the more recent question, namely, if broadening the pool under discussion is important enough to include regular NHL players merely because there are under age 25 (e.g. Morgan Reilly who is by no definition a...

Aside from the fact that neither team has announced it as such and going with the prevailing supposition, it is still a gift. At the very least we should have gotten something (normally I would say more but really I means anything) in return. As announced, the Andersen deal was within the...

Forget about who is on the list and who is off it. I am more concerned whether they can find 100 decent players and with the demographics, i.e., while I can personally recall the four Stanley Cups in the 1960's, I rather expect that I am decidedly in the minority in this regard ---  and how...

Calling this a trade is really a case of putting lipstick on a pig. I would expect they must have tried waivers first and got no takers. This is nothing more than giving Bernier away so I can only conclude they were desperate to do so. This is the coda to the "let's trade for a goalie"...

They have to sign him first. In the meantime, let's just hope it really is "Matthews or bust" and not a case of "Matthews and bust"

I agree. I feel the trade for Andersen was premature at this point in the rebuild. What we are is a young team in the first full season of the next generation of players. As such we cannot expect to make the playoffs no matter who we have in goal. As has been pointed out, the numbers for...

As am I. I hope we go after nobody tomorrow.

I would agree with you in most cases however here the "agent" is the player's father so I fail to see any difference between a player request and one made by his agent.

Well, I guess it depends on the size of the bust and who it's attached to. ;)

I concur completely. I remember the Wednesday night road games in the 60's when the Leafs wore those jerseys and there were simply the best. If anyone knows where I can get one, please advise, either here or by pm. Thanks.

You were not alone in hoping for Rychel when he was drafted. As best I can recall, there are rumours that the Leaf management of the day had some interest in Rychel. I have no idea what has transpired in his career to make him available but I see it as appositive move. Harrington was going...
