I'm going on record that no GM will give him 3m or more. Doesn't matter whether he is unwilling
to take a cut. If no one offers it he has no choice. Would you give him 3m or more?

I'd love a gif of Kessel fumbling the puck right at the end when he had a golden opportunity to tie the game. Poor guy looks so, soooo horrible in Boston.

How about their Captain?? First gets burned by Segs on the Bergy goal, then takes himself out of position for Seguin`s goal by completely over committing going after Marchand, then in the dying seconds, shoots the puck directly into the skates of one of our boys. That Poser is, IMO, one of the most questionable Captains out there
Not enthralled with the B`s game but I think alot of that has to do with my mindset and our recent history about the Leafs.
They are much improved, they are far heavier now than in the past two years, they have a coach with an actual system and they have a lineup full of no names who had previously been unemployable in the NHL who now have their shot and, so far, making the most of it.
I was a bit guilty of the "we should crush em tonight" mindset. Bad idea, they are a tough team, still massive question marks with their quality of defense though.
A much healthier 3rd period, I think the Leafs went without a shot the first 10 mins (4 mins of PK time though). But after they scored that late goal, the B`s hunkered down and did what they had to do.

A leaf fan was trying to tell me how having played more games is an advantage, their points are in the bucket while the other team still has to earn theirs. Delusional doesn't even begin to describe it, but yes there are some leaf fans in that frame of mind.

wicked overrated
Why would a team that has the 2nd most amount of points in the conference emulate the strategy of a team that is tied for the 2nd fewest amount of points in the conference? It'd be one thing if TB was dominating by playing its elite players so much, but they're not - they're losing more than winning.
And, in the "Julien era" they've consistently finished with fewer points than Boston (I think they tied the year that they met in the ECF) ... I don't see any reason why Julien should do what Tampa does; in fact, I think that Tampa would be better off if they iced a more balanced team.

You hear Bob Mackenzie`s little "jab" in between periods when talking about one of the goals mentioning that intially it was a play by Hamilton that helped lead to it too regardless if he didn`t pick up a pt on the play

Removing Horton would help... trade him and Boychuk for a 1st pairing defenseman and call up Spooner.
Lucic-Krejci-Soderberg
Spooner-Peverley-Kelly
Chara-???
Chara needs help to move the puck.

Saw this on the train last night coming home from the game.
DKH, I know I've never met you, but I always pictured you to be older than a teenager, what with all of the talk about having a kid.
I think we drank near other one time (before a game and I was headed over to you but got derailed; to bad you would have gotten a free beer or two
..no my kid as a ten or twelve year old became a big fan of his going to Providence and he was always really good to her whenever he saw her over the years (two years ago the Blues were in town and playing soccer in the lobby outside of Legends and we were walking by, and Vladdy jumped out of the game and came running over to her with a big smile and hug and all that crap) so it is her who really likes him....but I'm not far behind. as for a teenager- I'm certainly older but maturity maybe a little younger

Aw that's a fun story!
I asked the kid (wasn't really a kid, probably early 20s) why he had that jersey since they are rare....he was not interested in a conversation, and his girlfriend did not appear to be amused that I would have the audacity to speak to her boyfriend about a hockey related matter on the way home from a hockey game.
I now believe that you owe me a beer. My mind is a steel trap when it comes to free booze.

Not a bad game by Boston, but definitely a good win after those two losses. They took their foot off the gas a few times, and we paid for it, but to win a game where the team isn't playing as well as we know they could, against a team that's hungry and capable, well, I'll take that any day.
1) Horton is going to make a lot more than $3 million in UFA.
2) replacing Horton with Spooner makes this a worse team.
3) These boards have become pathetic.

maybe this has been said already but I love the look of the Leafs right now. Kadri definitely was one of the missing pieces for them. His emergence finally gives them 2 dangerous lines. It's really a shame Burke got fired because now his moves are finally starting to pay off and that team has some depth to them. I think the difference is that it finally feels like they have a true core to build around now rather than just a bunch of replaceable parts. They are also easily the least unlikeable of all our rivals.

I don't think any players would admit it, but I'm starting to think some of the B's are coasting or pacing themselves so they won't be burnt out come play-off time (like last year).

It's just the universe balancing itself out for Burkie getting all the credit he did for the Anaheim cup when that team was 90% in place when he got there

Yep I do
Tomorrow It's the fkn Flyers.
Oh good Bozo is back so I will have someone to shout at and flip off.
Do you really think the Chara attack was on the same level as the Orr incident?
Orr could have got 4 minutes, but that's about it.

Orr probably should have gotten 4mins.
I would be that if they ended up in a fight there that he would have gotten the instigator for the early throws.

Agreed.
Maybe the ref felt he would be putting the Bruins at too much of a disadvantage by giving them 4 minutes on the power play.
