Why dors my damn samsung lag so much when I type, piece of trash.....

Make sure you use a good browser. Samsung stock browser lags heavily on hfboards.com. I'd recommend the latest version of Crome. Lightning fast for me.

Coach is in a tricky spot. Do you force Draisaitl to second line and risk that he flounders, or load up one line and pray for secondary scoring? Is D a problem? Goaltending? Not easy to win if you have that many problems at once.

The coach is creating his own problems by stacking one line while watching the other three lines struggle to score. Depth will always trump one good line.

Wow. Shut out.

What happened to McJesus' 100 goal season?

If anyone actually thought he'd score 100 goals, then they were crazy.

Only way that would happen is if the NHL changed the schedule so that the Oilers played the Flames all 82 games.

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

Which is about as realistic as nylander being as good as draisaitl

Or Matthews being generational.

I think any reasonable person would concede that Toronto is in a much better spot than Edmonton. Both for this season and in the future

And what happpens to your forward depth when you can't afford JVR and Bozak?

They promote Kapanen and Leivo?

lmao no defence or goaltending sure makes that believable.

lol! good one

The Leafs already have young NHL ready players in Kapanen and Leivo, etc. to replace those guys if needed.

I did say any reasonable person. I know you believe in your team but you tend to be pretty partial

Leafs D = Oilers D
Leafs G = Oilers G
Leafs F >> Oilers F

Pretty easy math

 

[McNuge]

You mean Leivo who will most likely end up as a UFA at the end of the season and Kappanen who has done nothing at the NHL level are going to replace consistent 45-50 and 50-60 point players?

I wish Kapanen and Leivo could replace them already to be honest

 

[GetFocht]

How many more lottery drafts do they need to finally be a good team.

This is perhaps the worst rebuild I have ever witnessed, they had 4 first overalls which included one generational player yet they still suck this much?

 

[topcheezy]

they're really bad, and i don't see where their improvement is gonna come from. almost every move their gm makes only makes them worse, and they have very few prospects, all of them questionable. they need depth bad and i don't see where they're gonna get it from.

 

[IPS]

I think it's looking like a real possibility that Edmonton misses the playoffs this year. Just insane how much luck they had last year, that Draisaitl contract will destroy them for years.

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

Leafs D = Oilers D
Leafs G = Oilers G
Leafs F >> Oilers F

Pretty easy math

Leafs G < Oilers G
Leafs F = Oilers F
Leafs D << Oilers D

Pretty easy math I agree.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Leafs G < Oilers G
Leafs F = Oilers F
Leafs D p>

Pretty easy math I agree.

oh man the comedy from you never ends

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

oh man the comedy from you never ends

Same to you, bud.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Leafs F = Oilers F

lol I know you have your shtick as the big homer guy but this is next level stuff.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Same to you, bud.

Leafs have nearly twice as many goals scored but somehow their offense is equal to Edmonton's. classic

 

[Jozay]

chiarelli is an awful GM.

They need to get rid of him ASAP so they dont waste the years they have McDavid.

Get a gm in there with a proper vision and plan to make a team that can win a cup in 2017.

Leafs have tons more goals allowed but somehow their defence and goaltending is equal to Edmontons? classic
