Maybe some realize that even a player who can score like Kessel end up minus players because hitting, checking, defence, etcetera are actually valuable contributions? 

'Depends' - are you talking about the Leafs or your dad?

I started reading an article and got through two sentences and couldn't finish it.  I can't stomach the Leafs.

I think Phaneuf's contract makes his trade value about equal to what I'd want for Matt Stajan.

I've never understood why Leafs have to be so open to the media.  No good comes from it.  The Kessel video really gets to me.  Can you imagine Clark saying that?  Kessel is not tough enough to play for Toronto.

Joakim Lindstrom seems like the perfect player for a proper tank.

I still have a Marois jersey.  A fringe player who had some chemistry with Damphousse.  Think the real difference was back then, I was cheering for the underdog, and now it seems all I can see is over-paid players.  David Clarkson gets hated by everyone for his contract.  If that money wasn't...

I think the Leaf players have gotten away with too much for too long.  Defence can be sacrificing.  You sometimes have to make a safe, smart play over a risky play.  To ask for such out of Kessel seems to have killed him. 

The Sens don't exist if they're not winning.  Never made fun of a Sen's fan team when they're doing poorly.  They disappear.

Ottawa has won 5 in a row for a slim chance of catching a wildcard.  Rather be in the Leaf's position.

I wasn't going to mention the draft lottery.  Didn't want to curse it.  Now Leafs will be one point shy of making the playoffs.

I have a couple of way over-paid guys at work.  It demoralizes the rest of us.  Leafs probably feel pretty good right about now.

The secret to success will be for Komarov and Sill to annoy the Flyers and make them draw penalties so that we can get Clarkson out there on the power-play.

Sill and Komarov on the same line?

His value is offset by his contract.  Although GMs seem more willing to spend money then I would be.

It was Saturday and the thought the Leafs play didn't even cross my mind.  Walking Dead is on tonight.

All I'm saying is, if your team is right in the middle of the standings, you better figure out what direction you want to go.  If you're looking at a bunch of ho-hums, don't go sign an UFA that will improve your team to 20th in the standings.  You know you'll never find a #1 center for nothing...

You're never getting rid of Clarkson.  Bye bye Phaneuf and Kessel.
