Anybody else think the only difference between tonight and last night was Gustavsson? I didn’t see much from the defensive play that impressed me. But Gus played a great game and deserved the shutout.

I think last night a couple of bad bounces deflated the team and the sabres had Ryan Miller. Tonight the Bruins looked pretty listless as well.

What a downward spiral they’re going. Apparently, there are some major locker room factions there, which is not surprising when Chris Pronger is such a prominent personality there.

He was miscast as an offensive star, so Kulie suffered as a result. They finally found a role and let him stick with it. He was always known as a tenacious checker and Wilson noticed that, too.

Kudos to wilson for that. We finally have a legitimate third line.

Two players on their third line are free agents. Do you re-sign them?

id keep Primeau for the right price, he is an excellent 4th line center who can fill in the 3rd line
no stemp though, the leafs have kids that can fill that spot

Why not, Stempniak is one of the few forwards who hits. If hes cheap, id sign him in an instant.

Yep
Stempniak, I like how he plays and he’s been very solid, but I think he’s redundant on this team. Primeau, I’m not sure. Toronto is going to be a young team next year (I hope), but they still need veteran players.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Primeau is someone I would look to as an Alternate Captain if not a Captain – solid leader type doesn’t seem to be a prima dona or high maintenance

indeed, he is a tireless worker, excellent on the draw and great at both ends of the ice. the only thing his brother had over him was the offensive end of the game.
he would be a good player for the Nothing line the leafs need

yep. i was thinking tonight what a great game he was playing, and also how i can’t remember the last time he played a bad one. he’s awesome on the 3rd line, maybe his offensive game gets going in a couple of years and he becomes a good 2nd line guy.
he has jersey potential.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
he has jersey potential.
Oh, definitely. I’ve been contemplating him and Beauchemin all year.

good game guys
Here’s what really sung about this game for me: the character of it.
Stajan coming back, Blake works hard, Grabbo was great on the draw tonight and he skates hard, Mike Komisarek getting tough with Chara despite him being huge.
But I save the best for last: no one has mentioned it here yet but for me the greatest thing (well the win was nice) about this game was at the very end when Jonas was following Toskala back into the locker-rooms after he congratulated, he gave him a little tap with the stick. Cause you know that the fans were on Toskala and so he gives him a little tap like don’t worry about it. He didn’t need to.
We have a character team. It was nice game.

Blake always works hard man, i like his tenacity. Thats not the problem, Its his perimeter shots and huge contract that pains us.

by JaredFromLondon on Dec 19, 2009 10:22 PM EST up reply actions
even at $3m a year he’s reasonable.
i really don’t think his contract is the disaster everyone makes it out to be. it’s not one of the 10 worst in the league, maybe not even one of the 20 worst.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
no, but he is over paid, and it hand cuffs the Leafs a bit for signing UFAs and what not

agreed
my beef with Blake has always been the price tag.
He has the occasional game where he’s floating around the perimeter, shooting low-percentage shots into the goalie’s chest.
But for something in the range of $2 or even $3M with that speed and some creativity, he’d be fine.
I no longer hate Blake. He shows up. He works. I can’t fault him. He gets demoted to the fourth line tonight and still hustles like a mad man

I know we always expect players to accept any role, but I find this to be underreported character trait of Blake. He could have easily been sulking, complaining and bringing the whole team down. Blake didn’t do that and he worked his butt off. That’s big to me.
