the guy who did the game thread must be a fan of the 80s looking at his all-star sens lineup.

he was suppose to go first overall that year at the start of the season.  He slide after the world juniors and at the draft itself.

lol. You handled that stupid remark in the best way sir ;-)

Typical Nik to argue what your arguing about.

Thats why kessel only was suspended preseason games for swinging his stick like a baseball bat.

Actually it is the truth, though with your bourgeois arguing you may find it hard to see the truth.  If boston liked phil they would have resigned him and traded away someone else.  Why else would you trade a young 30 goal scorer?  It is because there are other issues that make him undesirable. ...

Klinkhammer has a good name.

Phil was suppose to go first in his draft class but fell due to personality concerns.  What a surprise now his 2nd team is looking to get rid of him due to personality concerns.

The most important point there is bolded.  Corsi can be useful as an additional stat.  Similar in value to the old giveaways/takeaways stat.  However you cannot just look at corsi and say a player or a team is doing well.  They you get the erroneous conclusion that the leafs were doing poorly...

I did hate wilson and think he is by far the worse coach the leafs have had since the 80s.  Your right some players will like you and some will not.  You don't want to have issues with your best player in kessel and your player of the future in kadri.  You better have a good relationship with...

Yes he was tall and thin when he was drafted.  This goes back to conditioning.

when he got to new york.  He bounce between teams and was even on waivers once.  So the leafs could have got him back.

The bigger issue with wilson is how he lasted so long as the coach if he had issues with many of his players.

doesn't surprise me wilson and kadri had difficulties.  First of all, wilson had the terrible idea of playing him at the wing and then there was how kadri spoke of randy.  He had nothing but good things to say about randy.  Truth be told randy gave kadri a much better chance to succeed then wilson.

when is his contract up?  I hope not long.

Does your graph show all the defensive mistakes, giveaways, bad zone coverage that leads to goals?  Because he always seems to be the guy that makes the mistake.  If your graph doesn't show that, then it doesn't show the important stuff.

Let me get this straight your talking in positive tones about a business that has never made a profit? 

should be easy loss for the leafs and a step closer to high draft city.

we also have drafted horrible outside of the first round since burke took over.

but he has a good corsi; how can that be? ;-)
