This was a test to see if the Caps were for real or if they were simply beating up on their weak division; they are definitely legit and have gotten hot at a great time. Boston seems flat and beatable most nights...plus it's a different Leafs team than the one that was so embarassed last yr...

If the Leafs can pick up 2 points on the Habs before that game, they have a good chance at winning the tiebreaker between the two and passing the Habs to get home ice in the first round - if they also win that final game. A couple of fairly large IFs but given the way the Habs and Leafs have...

Every team has some bad contracts on them. Grabo, sadly, looks to be that way-- however, I think he could be a solid playoff performer and should be given another yr. We are still in need of solid C and I don't see Colborne fulfilling that 2nd/3rd line C role next yr. The ONLY reason I could...

I have no idea why the Leafs need another goalie. Reimer and Scrivens have a good relationship, support each other, and have done fine this yr. Yes Kipper WAS an elite goalie, but he doesn't seem to be quite the same goalie after his injury. He surely hasn't played better than either of our...

My merits exactly. They have many D but no one else that can compete against top lines every shift.

Bozak does remind me of Stajan too.  Not a first liner, probably not a very good second either.  People say a good 3rd liner but I disagree as I would prefer a 3rd liner that has a little more size and grit.  So I really don't see where his niche would be on a good team.  He has proved to be...

Phaneuf definitely doesn't fit the role of that 4th guy on the rush...too slow. Gardiner is like the Flash out there, his speed gets him anywhere on the ice quickly, which allows him the luxury of going on the offense as it's not so much a liability.

I'm happy with Holzer's play overall, but Gardiner is a game changer. If it's the only option I figure the Leafs will send Holzer down to make room.

This conversation has become redundant. Phaneuf is overpaid. He makes dumb mistakes sometimes. But he is still by far the best guy we have on defense for the PP, is our most physical presence on the back end, and he plays as hard as he can 30 min/night against the opposing best lines every...

I really felt last night like some of the d-men were gassed. Phaneuf reminded me of a player in videogame whose endurance is on red and stumbles around on the ice. 3rd game in 4 nights, use the depth man and spread the minutes more. Of course Phaneuf and Holzer will look bad at times playing as...

Scrivens needs to improve his decision making when playing the puck no doubt, but losing after 2 is far from his fault...the team can't keep the puck in CAR zone at all and their giveaways have been shocking. If anything Scrivens has made good saves to keep the game somewhat in reach. This game...

Carlyle will definitely play the guys who most stick to his system and play the best positionally with fewest mistakes. Hockey has evolved to what most teams left are doing, which is boring but effective. schenn has a fresh start with a new coach and will hopefully bring his game back to being...

I guess you haven't seen any of the hbo 24/7 series with Floyd mayweather. If the leafs are playing poorly when filming commences or if they go on a losing streak during, this could add an element of stress that may further hurt their game. If they are winning at a decent %, doesn't add any...

I would be elated if Rogers put the games thru a stream on their website. I'd tune in for sure.

Had no idea that he would be top 3 in the league for community involvement, no reason to in a new city other than he felt it. He played so solidly before getting concussed, and even signed a fair contract early in the season without any threat of going to FA. The leafs could sure use liles at...

At first I was adamantly opposed to Lou coming to Toronto, but after mulling over what we have to look forward to over the next 3-4 years, I say why not get him if it actually costs nothing. The Leafs can eat $13.7 mil in salary (not against the cap) in 5 years time or $7 mil in 6 years. They...

Not to mention Lou also stated that Schneider will "dominate the league for yrs to come"- I doubt anybody in the org has told Lou VanCity's plans but he can see the writing on the wall. I don't see how people can't agree that Lou is at least top 10 at his position, hence has a bit of value. I...

It's certainly worth a thought, but I think unless they have a specific guy in mind they should draft as high as possible. Sure someone could be a bust, but the odds show it's less likely. Burke talked trash about trading down (potentially all the way to Tavares) in the '09 draft, but he had to...

He doesn't have a choice with the way the market played out- teams held on tight to their good young players by signing them to long contracts before they became UFAs. FA is weak and they don't have the assets to get a few big strong players this way, particularly a couple in the top 6/one top...

Phily will surely not part with Hartnell, especially after a career yr...TB might not mind alleviating some cap space and trade Malone, but Malone has a no movement clause until the end of 2013, and a limited NTC after. Clowe is a more attractive possibility, but I struggle to see what of value...
