How is there not a JVR appreciation thread going?

[TakeTheBody]

Thanks.

Best of luck to you and yours.

Buh bye......

 

[al secord]

They have all summer to re-sign him. The goodbyes are a little premature.

Me too -- Muy apreciado, JVR.

Ottawa

Florida

Awesome pics.


If I remember correctly the leafs went on a bit of a slump at the end of the 2016-17 season and almost missed the playoffs. JVR picked up the pace and went on a tear scoring a bunch of goals in the last 10 games or so, to keep us in the hunt and earn us a date with the Capitals in the post season.

Salute JVR

Who?

Who?

Really? Why?

Edit- nevermind, i thought it was you who bumped the thread at 338 in the morning, it was that other beauty!!

I appreciate JVR going to the net, standing in front of the goalie and redirecting 36 shots into the net.

Probly cause

1. not a big game player.
2. shit on defence (no effort despite having a big body).
3. saved most of his production for his contract year.

great hands in close though.

I was pouring a wall with a fellow Leaf fan and after moving the pump truck hose around
some sticking out rebar told him I got some JVR on my workboot.

Well he's been on for 81 goals for and 44 against. However 36 of them have been on the power-play. It leads his plus/minus to be -3. He's not any where close to all the goals scored against while Marleau has been on the ice, but perhaps has had easier opposition? I think it's a little hard to fall in love with someone who's leaving you.

I'm still in love with Kessel

 

[ACC1224]

Glad he's gone, I can appreciate that.

Glad he's gone, I can appreciate that.

Agreed, I won't miss him.

It's unbelievable how little Leafs fans like goals for.

we're miss his net presence. Wouldn't surprise me if our PP took a hit this year. I would of liked him back if it was possible.

yes. because we're so going to want for that.

 

[rent free]

He isn't a leaf anymore. That's how.

We will miss him on the power play, no doubt about it. He offers something very few can offer down low. He is finese winger; great around the net. Great at finishing and finding those rebounds, deflecting in goals and has a good shot.

That said; the cost of this was having a pretty terrible, slow, defensive player in the top 9.

He's like like the 1B that just mash's home runs that has a terrible batting average and can't play defense. He's good; but there are holes.
