Judging by comments on the power play especially the 5 on 3 against Winnipeg what Leafs need on the power play is a quarterback for the powerplay. The solution Jake Gardiner.

When are some of you going to see that Phaneuf plays against the oppositions top ofensive players. That is going to effect his plus minus. He is probably the leafs top all round defenceman. He has also demonstrated great leadership as captain. Not everybody is going to be a Scott Stevens or...

Part of the reason that leafs cannot sign top flight free agents are their over critical fans. Given what and who Phaneuf plays against and the huge ice time he logs, that all plays into his performance and his plus minus. Did not Don Cherry make comments about this. Fans need to stop throwing...

Flames reportedly signed him to an offer sheet. Leafs out of running now.

I do not think I would deal Kadri for OReilly but say Graboski and Gunnerson.

I still think if they penalize careless  errant sticks that this should be subject to penalty as well. That kind of injury could be career ending.

Watching replay Cooke was coming in to check. Why was his foot up. In any case it was a careless act much as it would be with an errant stick. If an errant stick put a player out for the season that offending player would be suspended. Cook has a bad reputation anyways. With any suspension a...

On Phaneuf. He is playing always against the top lines and playing too many minutes. Neither Phaneuf nor Reimer can be blamed for last night.  Leafs need a number one center and more offense. Reduce Phaneufs ice time by trusting second unit more and then the first line defence can be more...

Problem is offense. Was Mediocre  with Lupal at best now it is weak. Need that # 1 center.

Scrivens looked shakey in the first two games. I think Reimer can and will step up. Leafs would be foolish to pay for Luongo when they can get him for nothing this summer. It would be different if he was the player to put them over the top, but he is not.

Could Gillis be running scared that nobody really wants Luongo at his price. Given tha it is only the leafs who are interested now. He knows he will have to but Luongo out in the summer. If I were the leafs I would wait. If Reimer rebounds like I think he will great. If leafs struggle they could...

No way do you buy out Phaneuf. He is too valuable. You buy out contracts you cannot move and they are not contibuting value wise. Komiserik and Connoly for example.

Whats the holdup. Settle now. Does the variance make that much difference if the length is 6 or 7 years, it is still averaged. They ciould even have any player whose contract varied 25% less that cap hit average of the contract upon retirement the  actual value of said contract shall be applied...

I hope the counter offer is not another ploy like one Fehr pulled a couple of weeks back. If it is anything more that a minor tweak with a yes or no on those the owners just might say season done, bye. The players need to remember what the owners forgot in the last lockout. That is there will be...

If the season is lost as it appears headed that way what is lost? In my opinion the league loses 6 teams and puts several more in jeopordy. They lose a share of the sports market dollars and credability they will never regain. They players will lose 150 uion players jobs, plus.  I think they...

First I think he sold players on the notion to vote as they did would have owners giving in or get a better deal. I am afraid the season is lost and probably the NHL as we know it. It will have fewer teams and not near the market share , at least in US.

Part of the issue in my mind was Bettmans dictation take it or leave it tactic created a big part of the problem early on and I think Fehrs trying to change the offer of acouple of weeks ago was a bad mistake. But things seemed to be going fine until Fehr anf Bettman got involved. What does that...

It is kind of frustrating the players got what they wanted and owners what they wanted. Granted both wanted more but in reality a middle ground was acheived then enter Fehr and Bettman. Fehr seeks to push the envelop and it implodes. You are where you realistically could make it work. Settle...

Time for the moderates to step forward and settle things before Fehr gets his legacy to retire with. ie destroying the NHL.

Fire Fehr. The players are about to make a move that I think was part of leagues plan all along. Deceritfy and then they can contract 6 teams. Players in the end will lose a fifth of their members jobs. By taking last offer they win but giving in.
