and Phaneuf is elite.

I'd recommend you not go to the "main forum" to get your hockey knowledge from, especially as pertains to the leafs.

According to the main forum, Kadri and Reimer aren't NHL players, and Seguin is better than Kessel.

Heres a hint zeke, if everyone that AREN'T Leaf fans thinks he sucks, and only Leafs fans think he is good, then maybe you could be wrong

 

[ytownhockey10]

indefensible?

good defensemen get burnt all the time. Chara has made plenty of bad pinches in his day.

dion's ass should have sat for that piss-poor decision. seriously, it was that bad. just look at it.

 

[zeke]

it was a pinch that didn't work out. It happens to all defensemen, even the best ones, like phaneuf and chara.

everyone that aren't leaf fans have been absolutely wrong about the leafs this year, in every possible way.

why would I believe them on this one?

i know what it was.

it is the frequency with which it happens for dion that makes him a bad decision-maker. which is reflected in his +/-. which precludes him from the elite category of NHL dmen.

he pulls that **** at least twice a game and often many more... he removes himself from plays he should make and puts D partners in awful positions. like, all the time. he had the same reputation in CGY. "all dmen get beat sometimes" doesn't quite hack it in this case.

Because this one year is an anomaly after practically a decade of the Leafs sucking and you guys still thinking you were going to make the playoffs haha

Jesus, how mental are you? Everyone who is objective is wrong, but the subjective people regarding their team are right?

 

[bear with me]

Maybe this will be a wake up call. Hard to figure after playing well in the last 2 games. By the way, I hate the CBC. Not sure if I posted that. I wish there was not a delay between the radio and tv as I have Dave G and Beers on. They are awesome - not sucking up to the Bruins like the HNIC love in.

Toronto where playing desperate hockey which they will have to contiue for possibly two more games.The bruins only started to play desperate in the lasT period Toronto looked worn out.Sunday I would expect to come out flying in Toronto.Let's not forget they got lucky with a SH breakaway and a second breakway to win it the Bruins also rang one off the post and one off the bar.The top line won't be quiet much longer they are overdue.

 

[Braunbaer]

Kessel has a better +/- than Bergeron these playoffs.

Kessel is clearly the better defensive player.

Am I the only one who got this one is irony?
The post above he said the +- stat is useless and he is right.

You still confident in our bet that Kadri will score at a 70 pt pace next year? (min 65 games played)

Yikes...

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Yikes...

Yea he must of meant offensive player.

Kessel Is a bigger game changer and difference than Bergeron this series.

 

[Central Scrutinizer]

Was the 2nd Leafs goal offside? I only saw the CBC feed and it looked so to me.

Series isn't over.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Series isn't over.

It could of been if Bergeron stepped it up.

But he's got 10 goals in his last 50 some odd playoff games. I won't hold my breathe.

Including two in Game 7 vs the Canucks..

People have such short memories.

Max Talbot?

Ruslan Fedetenko?

Bergeron.

Bergeron plays in every key situation.is a leader,best Faceoff man in the league.

Now, if i had to choose between Phil or Tyler......

I think Tyler will be OK.

A couple of weeks ago some wanted to trade Lucic.

I like Phil OK but think Tyler will develop into a better player. His two way play has improved. Seggy just needs a good game or two to get that confidence back. That line looked great at the start of this short season. They will be fine.

Phil is a young elite or near elite scoring winger. Tyler is an even younger player than might one day become elite or near elite. It's uncertain. If they end up making the same amount of money the choice is Phil every time, no matter what us Bruins fans like to think. Frankly, I think Hamilton will end up being a better player than Tyler. Seguin doesn't make enough plays that lead to goals to make up for his lack of scoring touch.
