I hear ya.  But I've been impressed with how such a shy guy has handled the media spot light, especially given some of the things that happened (the allstar game in Raleigh (?) for example).  It seems to me Phil has evolved a bit, grown up and become a bit more comfortable under the microscope...

And I think that's a fair response.  I thought about that while I was drafting my comment.  That's why I wrote "some idea what he was walking in to".  We've heard other players from other teams in the past comment about the media storm that comes with the Leafs and how they wouldn't want to play...

I hear/see a lot of people stating they wouldn't be surprised if Kessel wanted out so let's trade him.  Lots of comments about how he doesn't like the spot like in Toronto and probably wants out because of it and because of how poor the team has been.  Nothing Phil has said ever has given me the...

Hahaha....that's quite the visual.  It certainly reflects my opinion of Gillis and Vancouver sports media in general as well.

Wow Wow Wow Did not believe it when told by a co-worker.  Until I know why (if we will ever truly know), I'm not thrilled to hear this.

lol... aahhh, Potvin29, you're awesome.

This.  I'm not falling apart without the NHL or the Leafs.  And it allows for more time to follow hockey outside of the NHL.  But yeah, I miss watching the NHL, supporting my team.

Very interesting article.  It seems like D'Amigo has done a lot of maturing.  Very happy to hear he is back on track.

You're likely correct.  Still, this is possibly good opportunity for him to make his way back.  :D 

So it's apparently a 2-way deal.  Good for him.  Second chances.  :)

Tyler with another two goals today in an overtime loss to Finland. 

Jays take the second game against the Tigers, Alvarrez with a solid outing going 7 innings, Happ closing it out, Snider with a great catch in left field early in the game to prevent runs from coming in, Rasmus, Escobar and EE all with HR's.  Good game.  :)

I agree with your entire post.  I could be mistaken, but hasn't Burke mentioned in the past that he learned a lot from Pat Quinn?

I didn't see a thread for the upcoming All Star game, so this is just as good a place to post this, I guess.... Joffrey Lupul has been named Alternate Captain to Chara's team for the All Star game.  Good for him.  What a season he's having. :)

Heading out in a few hours to the game.  So excited!

That's if you feel Burke is a blowhard.  Not everybody does.

Yup, gotta go with Kessel, HM to Scrivens.  (although I could easily switch them up).  (Shout out to Franson as well.)

Wellwood and Antropov both appear to be fitting in well with the Jets (I know it's not really a new team for seems Nik but it like it because of the relocation).  Very glad for them both.

The day I was born.....lol  yikes.  I really am the reason the Leafs have not won the cup....  :o      :'(      8)

I don't think he's playing badly right now, just a little less dynamically than he was.
