He’s not incorrect at all either.

I still maintain he won’t be the coach when the Leafs become a true contender, but he didn’t win so many games for no reason.

$20M

and like 10 roster spots. Yes, you can pencil in some for cheap kids and bargain vets. But they need more top level scoring forwards, which isn’t going to leave much money for handing out hard-earned raises to guys like White.

If White stays, someone making a lot of cash on D has to go.

by pevans on Dec 9, 2009 11:44 PM EST up reply actions  

there are no “top level scoring forwards” who would fit into the Leafs future mold available this summer.

this gives room for the kids to get more playing time in the big leagues, and lets you pay for quality players. No one really has to go anywhere, unless people think next year the Leafs will be Cup contenders. I for one don’t think so. Maybe in the bottom 8, maybe on the outside looking in again, but one year closer and one year further along in developing Gustavsson, Bozak, Hanson, Stalberg, Gunnarsson, Schenn, Kadri etc.

I have nothing interesting to say.

True

He is doing exactly what a player on a contract season should be doing. Will probably get a serious raise.

Which worries me, as we’ll be paying like 70% of our cap towards our defenders.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not crazy about Kessel on the PP.

Anyone want to run rates/advanced stats to see how he’s doing? My gut says I can understand why Boston wasn’t giving him price PP time.

by mf37 on Dec 9, 2009 10:08 PM EST reply actions  

It’s not Kessel that’s the problem, it’s that the PP is focused around him. Teams can close in on him and take away his space quickly. They need to change it up to open up a lane for Kessel to get some good shots off.

They’ve also gone away from using Hagman’s disgusting wrist shot on the right wing as a primary weapon on the PP.

It’s hard for Kesse to get a shot from that deep on the side boards. He’s got three options – point, throw it behind the net or force it through the midde. Two of those options are likely going to lead to turnovers…

And 2 of them frequently do. The forward on his side doesn’t get sucked up high enough because Kaberle doesn’t shoot.

It’s a noted (and lazy) trait of all Eastern European players. Mogilny, Fedorov, Bure all were known as enigmatic. What changed for them (maybe except Bure) was that they learned English and spoke it well. Enigmatic is pretty much on par with “gritty” as an all encompassing term.

for the first time in history, youTube comments are accurate.

for example, youTube user philfargo says:

At first I thought, "not enough flying debris not enough explosions Then I realized. This is a high-end production. This is about class, subtlety, and realism. It’s about pushing 3-D graphics to new, unprecedented heights.

I saw my true self in this video, and I realized Im a fraud. A pretender. We have all been beaten. Shamed. I watched it again. Then I wept.

Got DRUNK on white wine on a 1st date tonight...

And only got to watch the 3rd period just now on replay on TSN2.

The following players stood out in a positive way:

- Kulemin for pushing the tempo and great backchecking, Komisarek for being an even-strength rock, Toskala for some above average stops in a big spot, Kaberle for moving the puck out of our end, Grabovski and the relentles forecheck, Primeau for winning draws and grinding it out on about 3 different line combinations.

And of course it was great to see Blake stick it to his old team.
