I could definitely see more interest in Polak than a lot of the Leaf forwards, simply because defence is a tough position for an inexperienced AHL fill-in in higher-stakes playoff games. I wonder, if GMs around the league are as willing to deal anything approaching significant picks for...

Yeah, it doesn't look so far that any of the rentals are going to move the needle much. Was hoping for a Raymond type resurrection to get a /Santorelli/Franson/Winnik/ version 1 payday for at least one of the guys they picked up.

Phaneuf, HM Bernier

Twas tongue in cheek. They're 6-3-1 in their last ten, I believe, and have least a couple of games due to abysmal goaltending. Wherever they end up, they end up, but I was expecting a far less competitive team so far this season, despite their overall standing.

If they want matthews, they're going to have to consider start moving some bodies well before the deadline. This team just isn't playing like a basement dweller.

I changed the filter to Fenwick, and it turns into a much less complimentary picture. I had assumed that over a long time period, there should be closer correlation?

Heh, no doubt, Rogers has made a complete hash of it. But on the plus side, in the intermissions, I basically just check to see how pointy Strombo's shoes are, and then watch half of a homeland episode.

I think there's more to it than that. The late game on HNIC generally draws carryover viewership from the previous game, and Shoalts goes into specifics on the other markets (McDavid injury, etc). I really doubt that average fans are "genuinely excited" to the point where revenues haven't been...

Back for another 1000! Prepare ignore lists accordingly. Some other sites out there really suck. Took a long time to get to 1k.  Regarding Komorov, I was waiting for this thread to come up. Clearly, if they can move him for a "return" (quoted for ambiguity) it has to be done. The problem with...

https://twitter.com/mirtle/status/551789105521381376 "NHL players who have been outshot the most since Dec. 1: 1. Phil Kessel 2. JVR 3. Nikita Zadorov 4. Phaneuf 5. Bozak" That's the top differential in the entire league. Wow. Pretty much says it all. And from Feschuk in the Star today, Kessel...

Well that would be ridiculous. It would get in the way of a convenient Clarkson bashing session.

There has to be a shooting equivalent of Barb Underhill that we could sent Reilly to so that he can expand his repertoire of weak wrist shots from the point.

Nice pass Ashton. Geez.

I think it should be player's choice on the kevlar socks (I hated them when I tried them) - and there's nothing life threatening there - but the neck guard should be mandatory imo.

Uh, nice hit, but Panik was nowhere near the puck??

I was going to ask - is there a reason Jets fans don't like Phaneuf to prompt the specific booing? Or is it boo-urns?

They look tired. A shame my final 7 posts on the forum will come on a lacklustre GDT.

I'm not exactly sure why Smith is even on the team.

Oh, I agree, the whole Hrudey/hipster/Kyreos thing is a train wreck. The only way to get through it is to try to remember that one of the three knows very little about hockey, one has been punched in the head a number of times, and one is out of his element.  - and try to fill in the logic as...
