James Neal... is no longer the real deal.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Neal's one of those players that's so hit or miss, and it largely depends on who he is played with.

He could be anywhere from a legit 30+ goal guy with the right setup man, to a guy who looks useless out there if he's got to do the heavy lifting himself and relied on to be solid defensively.

Holy shit. I must have missed the last Avs game. Didn't realize they're up 3-1.

He hasn’t put up 30 in four years.

That being said, he’s good for 20 every year.

I am not fan of Peters at all and I think it is no surprise Carolina has flourished since he left.

Also, Neal seemed to be the heart with MAF of that Vegas team. Just a weird fit in Calgary I think. Monahan and Backlund both seem like bad fits for Neal.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I have to admit that if this team wasn't a total mess that I'd be in on a super cheap flier for Neal if he were bought out. Though I have to admit I'm not entirely sure how that would work. They just signed that contract.

But here in reality... no.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I wonder if he would have been better off staying in Vegas?

He’s also had serious wrist injuries for a guy who lives off his shot.

 

[Gurglesons]

What a dive by McAvoy. I thought Bruins only played hard and the right way...

Love that kid though. Such a player.

 

[LOGiK]

Kap looks pretty good this game.
He really came into his own with Toronto.

 

[LOGiK]

Watching teams play good hard playoff hockey is a wee bit depressing after that sorry sack of shit we got to experience with the penguins.

 

[The Objective troll]

Leafs speed makes the pens look like they skate on molasses.

The intensity of this series is insane. By far the best series in the 1st round.

 

[Gurglesons]

I hate listening to Milbury talk about the Bruins.

I mean, Leafs are a collection of young top picks. They should make us look slow.

 

[LOGiK]

This series is so dang good.

 

[LOGiK]

Wat the hell was he thinking there?!?

Man Kap is fast.

 

[LOGiK]

Man... Kap had a good two feet of open twine there high right and missed by a good 6 inches.

 

[LOGiK]

WOW

Damn thats bad...guess they should trade him back to us

It was a break away on the shorty skating full throttle with d in hot pursuit so it's excusable.
IMO at least.

Haha tell thats to Babs though

 

[LOGiK]

I didn't see him after. Was he stark raving mad?

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Heh I actually didn't see either, I was assuming based on his reputation for being a hard ass

 

[ColePens]

Chara is PAINFULLY slow. He gets walked a whole lot.
