I was thinking the same thing. Actually I dont think the Buds played too badly. They just got unlucky. If Kostka doesn't screen Reimer on the first goal and the JVR shot hits the post and goes in the Leafs are up 2-0 going in to the 2nd and BOS and the TD centre are quiet and in panic mode. 

thats exactly the type of trade i was hoping we'd make. solid stay at home type to clear the front of the net. now kostka sits hopefully. Final pairing should be Liles and O'Byrne

yeah I agree for the most part. As of right now, they're pretty equal. Reimer is a year and a half younger and plays the puck much better (even though Reimer still needs a lot of work on the subject). I prefer Reimer but I can see a case being made for either goalie going forward.

Jonas Siegel ‏@jonasTSN1050 Scrivens does indeed start tonight versus Lightning.

Nutman wants Semen? Maybe its the psych in me but i think theres an underlying message here......

id much rather kulemin on the wing than MacArthur

As you know, usually a player's best years are 26-30, specifically 27-29, where his physical skills are still intact and not deteriorating, yet he's learnt enough about the game to play smarter and more efficient. Bozak is 26 and Roy is 29, Bozak has yet to reach his peak and Roy is just about...

Of course not. Overall Roy is the best player, but he's not a clear level above, they are comparable. I'm just countering the argument that Madferret made when he stated that these type of players [Bozak, MacA & Blacker] are numerous and widely available for free in the UFA market.

Yeah I agree for the most part. I do think that the need that Gunnarsson serves makes him more valuable to the leafs than he would be to a team trying to obtain him. Lombardi and Connolly have minimal value right now. they would not land anything substantial. I dont know what UFA's Madferret...

Well the problem with that scenario is that Franson's value is low right now. He was a healthy scratch numerous times last year after having  great season with NSH the year before. Blacker isnt ready to step into the NHL either, he's at least a year away and needs top 4 time in the AHL...

After a quick look at the roster, and having listened to Poulin and Burke interviewed saying that we will improve this team via trade & also stating that there are alot of big names being thrown around; I think those three assets are the most likely and viable to be moved. There arent many...

any news on Frattin? has he had his surgery? will he be ready for camp?

My Guess is that he's a Chelsea supporter. Newcastle finished 6th i think. Where spurs finished top 4 and were robbed from their CL spot by Chelsea winning the title and therefore having an automatic birth into the tourney next year. Because of this, Modric will prob leave spurs and go to UTD...

I like the trade. JVR played really well two seasons ago becoming a fan favorite and an emerging force. Lets all hope he's healthy. In my opinion Philly paid a premium to unite the brothers. JVR: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?id=6041 Age: 23 DOB: 1989/05/04 POB: Middletown, NJ...

hey man, i didnt meant to insult you, sorry you took it that way. I was speaking in general terms. 'you' meant anyone that shared the draft for need instead of BPA viewpoint, and im not saying that you [Bman] share that viewpoint. we're all Leafs fans here and we all want the team to win, Im...

Well, the problems before have all stemmed from taking short cuts to a championship, and drafting for need instead of BPA fits squarely into shortcut country. What does not makking the playoffs have to do with who we draft?? Can you please do me a favor and show me who the leafs should have...

lol awesome. Sums it up nicely. everyone knows we shouldve drafted the cant miss No1 Centre we need. It's not like he can miss, because he was labelled "Can't miss!" did burke not read the reports?!?

Yes, thanks for your opinion. Especially SINCE YOUVE ACTUALLY SEEN HIM PLAY. This is absurdist theatre at its best, there have already been a few pages of posts about this pick in this thread and others and yet there are only a couple opinions posted by people that have actually seen Reilly...

TSN Scout Craig Button: Matthew is not going to show up in highlight videos on any type of a regular basis. It's not in his game to be flashy but it is his game to be incredibly effective. That effectiveness translates into every area of the game and all of its situations. Simply put, he is a...

I agree. No thanks, at least not that high. but if he's still available at Pick 35?? definately. I know Button ranks him high but ive seen his value all over the map.
