The Worst Hangover Ever...

by blurr1974 on Nov 16, 2009 5:00 AM EST in From The Branches Comment 38 comments

That's how this season is starting to feel like for me. The funny thing about hangovers though. No matter how bad they are, you invariably find yourself in the same position again at some point.

Bloge Salming's new video says...well, I really have no idea what it says.
Ever the glass-half-full kind of guy, eyebleaf still holds out hope that the Leafs can turn it around. Failing that, the head of Ron Wilson.
Jared gives you two game recaps in one link. What a guy!
Dr. Steve takes a quick look at some of the impressive draft day work of JFJ, and breaks down the Flames game as well.
Hungry Leafs Fan had a close encounter with the XLBeast and the Monster.
TSM is curious about what Brian Burke's next move should be. There is also the news that this week brings at least two must wins and with three games on the docket, the Leafs to the quarter mark of the season.
Vintage Leafs posts more sweet shots from years gone by, including another one of Rick Vaive. Giggity.
Taking the long view, Kavel goes back a whole 7 days to recap the week that was.
MLHS recaps the Leafs and Flames game. Result, another moral victory.
Norman James is not having fun this season. Moral victories or not.
TML Fan Fury wonders if there's really anything at all to lose by trying Mikhail Grabovski and Phil Kessel on a line together.
Toronto Mike is begging the Leafs to leave the 80s be.
TML Central is a little worried that all these losses might impede the Leafs playoff hopes.
Leaf and Lion has a theory about curses
Kohma takes apart the Leafs, player by player.

Grabs + Kessel = mistake

And Gunnarsson looked sharp on Saturday night. He needs to stay up with the team.

that was painful to watch

The question I ask myself is, what the hell can Burke do to try and salvage this season….. it sure seems like we’re fucked until next year again. Hopefully a UFA or two, combined with Hanson, Stalberg, Bozak and Kadri can turn this team around. I cant wait until the dead weight is off this roster, Wilson had better improve this teams defensive numbers as well.

depends on your definition of "salvage"

I hope everyone gets over their Savard delusions because it looks like he’s go to re-sign in Boston soon.

Yeah

Same with Kovalchuk. Those kinds of guys aren’t hitting the open market.

even if Kovalchuck hits the open market, he wont be a Leaf, someone is going to offer him too much money for too many years and Burke wont bite on that. Same with Frolov.
Marleau though!

My late submission...

For anyone wanting a longer read. Kevin McGran put up a similar piece, but I had mine up first. McG also insinuates that the captaincy is Komisarek’s for the taking. I sincerely hope not.

great blog and as much as I love Kessel, i totally agree. I am scared that Burke has messed up big time and we are heading into even darker days, especially is the big name UFA’s all resign before July 1st. Next year could be just as bad… I hope im wrong, please please please let me be wrong

if all the big names resign then there will be plenty of room for the kids to get their shot

Yea, Its hard to invision next years squad without Kadri, Stalberg, Hansona nd Bozak all playing a full time role on the club. Should be exciting, but it could mean just as bad of a season…
