It feels like even though CAR has been pretty bad the last couple of yrs the Leafs really struggle against them. I don't think it will be an easy game.

Pretty amazing that the Leafs have obvious spots that they need to work on, yet have won 6 of 7 games. I think corsi and stats like puck possession/SOG statistically do make sense for the most part, but the Leafs buck that trend as the team can snipe, they have great special teams, and their...

Bodie looked great as a 4th line option guy. He tries hard, always is in good position, and isn't one of the worst skaters in the league (Orr). Having 1-2 guys that play under 5 minutes/night is a waste and can wear down the players - case in point the series against Boston when the top 2 lines...

Reimer will get another chance to start next game. I would be surprised if he doesn't get 3 starts in a row this year - when he is on he's a great goalie. In the end, though, Bernier will probably play 50-55 games with Reimer playing 30-35. Bernier is so composed vs Reimer (while good) is sort...

Ranger has a great skillset: good shot, big strong body which he uses, decent speed. His decision making is very concerning through 4 games; he's given the other teams too many chances. Chasing after the man with the puck and leaving the front of the net open on COL second goal was a novice...

Already missing clarkson from our top 9, Kulemin is a tough loss. Hopefully these guys get back before we lose someone else.

Fans paid big bucks to get disappointed - they played really well for half a game too. The Flyers had a rough yr, Laviolette I believe is a strong favourite to be 1st coach fired. Great to spoil a party in Mtl as well - When I moved there the Habs were my #2 fav team but then I grew to cheer...

Leafs are showing great depth at Centre: #4 Centre McClement had the most ice time with 18:40; half of that short-handed. He gets it done and is a huge reason why they are better SH. Great call by Carlyle to bump up Bolland to the 2nd line - he showed that not only is he all-around reliable...

He was very stable and solid the whole game. He looked out of place on the Leafs defense.

Gardiner ain't chillin and feeling good after that game. Eller is strong but Gardiner could've dove at him and took away space. Reimer wasn't confident about Gardiner cutting Eller off.

I don't understand why Carlyle put Kessel on the ice to line up against Scott right after that happened. Bad decision.

This happens all the time at my work: someone does a good job, but others are still brought into the organization that push and compete with them for promotions. It's normal business practice, and we don't make millions. I hope that it turns out to be a fantastic trade, but that is impossible...

Bergeron and Krecji make $5 mil and $5.2 mil each per yr...it does seem a little disappointing to give Grabovski and Bozak an equal amount.

Ribeiro was making $5 mil/yr on his last contract; I think it's reasonable to expect that he gets $4.5-5 mil on a new contract depending on length. I would take status quo with Bozak he would cost the same amount. If, for whatever reason, we are unable to keep Bozak, we would be incredibly...

No doubt he is the highest paid coach in the AHL. But I agree, when he is ready to be a head coach, he will jump at the opportunity. I think he signed for 3 yrs with the Marlies last June not only b/c his family lives here and it's comfortable, but also b/c there was also a chance Toronto would...

Kessel is definitely the most important skater on this team. He improved his backcheck immensely to compliment his offensive game. He will make $7 mil and deserve it. Hopefully Bozak signs for $5 mil or less, and we can roll two dangerous top lines with Kessel-Bozak-JVR and...

Oh man I can't handle how much the Bruins got away with there. You got Jagr running Reimer twice, Marchand slewfooting Reim behind the net, the nasty elbow, Lupul getting crosschecked into Rask than blockered and punched in the face, than later on circled and jabbed at by 3 Bruins while the ref...

I don't think that there is a team out there that would pay Bozak $5 mil/yr with the salary cap going down. I think this situation reaches July 1st and he signs for $4.5 with TML, which I feel is very generous for TML.

The Bruins ain't so bad. Hey, I'm not afraid anymore. I said, I'm not afraid anymore! Do you hear me? I'm not afraid more!

This is a great opportunity to slay the dragon. Boston has lost 7 of 9 and have looked very beatable. Yes we are a big 'dawg but we can steal a game in BOS to make this interesting.
