Stajan
scores the game-winning goal last night for Calgary. Good for him. Mayers assist on the opening goal.
by general borschevsky on Feb 4, 2010 8:20 AM EST reply actions
Mayers assist is a phantom assist. I never saw him touch the puck or influence the play at all.

phantom assists happen, just like phantom belief that Mayers might actually be useful.

He never came close to scoring a goal like that for us.

It’s a nice goal. Makes a nice play to control it with his skate and kick it up to his stick.

Stajan had lots of nice goals for us. He’s a really good player. A very solid 2nd line centre. I think he’ll face the same problems trying to be a #1 guy in Calgary that he had here though. I hope I’m wrong and they do well. For some reason I find Flames fans to be just about the only Canadian fanbase that isn’t utterly detestible.

The Nucks are grating on me this year way more than ever before. I live and work in Calgary and am immersed in the anti-Toronto rhetoric so consistently now that I’m actually pretty numb to it. Sometimes it grates on me though.

Komi
I would like to rise above petty resentments and offer my best wishes to poor Mike Komisarek.
Leaves the Habs hoping to play for Boston (to stop getting pwn3d by the Looch). They don’t want him.
He goes to the Rangers, his home town team: they don’t want him either.
How about Philly? Cup contenders apparently. No dice.
OK, he thinks, I’ll go play for Brian Burke. At least I’ll get to go to the Olympics.
Poor Komi.
heh you so funny
Actually his home town team would be long island, who offered him a deal which he turned down. He also turned down the Habs offer, which iirc, was only .5 million less than the Leafs.
Good attempt tho, really, vallant effor. I guess you can say, you came up a little short.

He votes in his favorite players to the all star game, convinced his team has what it takes to win it all, only to see them crap the bed and go home early after a spectacular fall from the top of the league. Then his GM blows the whole thing up (well, down, technically) and decides he’d rather ice a midget team. Price continues to regress, and the team looks even worse without the guy they wanted to be captain in Komisarek…

Kovalchuk
Rumours floating that Waddell wants a top 6 forward, top 4 D and a top prospect/pick; AND that Ilya wants more than 10 yrs, $100MM. At those asks (or anything close to them), let’s pray one of our Eastern Conference rivals lands him—either of those packages could cripple a franchise, let alone both.
The list of forwards arguably worth $10MM is Ovechkin, Malkin, Crosby… and that’s it. And none of them is making that much.
Kovalchuk’s a great player, no doubt, but to me if you’re paying someone more than $6MM they need to have more than one dimension, no matter how awesome they are in that one dimension.
For 30% stake? That valuation is insane!

he’s not even a consistent 50 goal scorer. Somebody is going to pay him big bucks to average 44 goals a season. Not worth it.
Let’s hope it’s the Rangers, Bruins or Devils (all of whom are in the running according to McKenzie)!

It will be interesting if the GMs collectively come to their senses and Kovalchuk has to settle in the offseason for significantly less than what Atlanta was offering. From what I’ve heard even Russian uber-billionaires aren’t as flush as they once were.

Steve Simmons on twitter:
Komisarek gone still doesn’t put Schenn in Top Four D on Leafs – he’s behind Gunnarsson, Beauchemin, Kaberle and Dion
1. I don’t think he’s behiind Gunnarsson, who’s played some quiet D over his 18 career games
2. Should a second year, 20 year old d-man be in your top 4?
3. That tweet may be a neutral observation on Simmons’ part, but it sounds so judgemental
4. Maybe Schenn, unlike Domi, isn’t offering a direct pipeline of behind-the-scenes info to Simmons
That is all.

Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
I think Simmons misinterprets the fact that Gunnar gets ice time on the PP as meaning he’s ahead of Schenn. Schenn has turned the corner from a really rough first few months into a tolerable sophomore campaign. He needs to step it up, but with the guys in front, he’s blessed with time to learn how.

Most exciting thing I saw during the Devils game was the quick shot of Schenn and Phaneuf sitting next to each other on the bench, talking with one another and getting on the same page with one another. Schenn had this huge grin on his face. It was awesome.

All good points. Why Simmons feels the need to bash the kid is beyond me. Schenn certainly did struggle mightily earlier this season but he’s played much better the last few weeks. He’s young, talented and can develop better behind the other established D on the team now. He’ll be fine.

"In Toronto" (to the tune of "In the Ghetto")
As the losses pile
On a cold and grey Ontario morn’
Another puck on net and the goal horn,
In Toronto
And the fans all cry
‘Cause if there’s one thing that we don’t need
It’s another useless goalie
In Toronto
GM, don’t you understand
This team needs a helping hand
Or one day they’ll look more pathetic than the sens
Take a good look at this goalie
Is he too blind to see
One more shot at his glove hand
Is one more goal against…
As the seasons rolls
This scrappy Leafs team with a pissed off coach
Plays their game but the losses grow
In Toronto
And the GM burns
So he starts to call the teams for trades
And he makes a huge steal
In a trade one day
In Toronto
Flying out of Anaheim
A goalie does appear
He steps in net, stops the puck
Suddenly, the Leafs might not suck…
And the fans all cry
As we finally have a good goalie
And not some chump focused on his hair bleach
In Toronto
And the GM sighs
On a cold and grey Ontario morn’
He faces the media and he gives them scorn
In Toronto…

He has also been credited with performing some of the earliest arthroscopies.2 Some of the most common procedures performed by Andrews are Tommy John Surgery and the repair of knee damage, and generally he is considered a top specialist in repairing damaged ligaments.

I had a putti-platt procedure after ripping up my shoulder for the millionth time and basically destroying my glenoid labrum. Recovery was not fun, but I was back on the ice in about six months and I still manage to play hockey just as badly as I ever did.

There’s a huge variation in flex in composite sticks. For gym hockey I play with a 75, which is like a wet noodle. On the ice I like an 85 or so, which is medium stiffness. A guy on my team plays with a 120 and to me it feels like a solid metal rod.
There’s also the “lie” of the stick, which is hard to explain – basically how the blade of the stick lies along the ice – technically I think it’s the angle between the shaft and blade.

It’s the domino effect.. the big piece falls leaving everyone else to scramble to catch up.
I hope it’s Chicago, just to see what San Jose, Vancouver et al throw together to try and improve their teams.

That's great!

I mean he is perfect for the defense first philos..
Erm, he will be allowed to float at the opposition blue line and wait for a stretch pass… well, I guess not.

he’s refusing 10-yr, $100-million contracts apparently. clearly he wants out. might as well get something for him.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
You lose him for a whole 25 games
and you get a decent hockey player, a good young player, someone I don’t know anything about and a first rounder… pretty good to me.

Great player but
The money he wants would cripple every team. I’m under the impression he demanded that money to get out of Atlanta, so maybe Lou can get him for check. Any team that signs him to 10mil as season dooms themselves out of cup competition.
In Lou we trust is going crazy…
well, crazy for like half a dozen guys posting… but I try not to pick…

My guess is the long road trip they will give both goalies games, it’s quite a trip. Also, it was probably do to his play against the Leafs in relief of Luongo
