Justin Pogge trying to return.

[Leaf Lander]

Didn't he win championships

Free wallet?

Not if it's a wallet you threw out.

He had an interesting interview on Leafs Lunch today. I'd hate to see him make a return and play up to his original potential for another team.

That's really a concern for you? Come on. Pogge is the very definition of a bust.

 

[Jerkini]

JFJ pressured him and pushed him to early because he was a dumba$$

What is up with the JFJ era and Leaf fans passing the blame to anyone else but the responsible parties?

 

[Brewsky]

Oh God, the years when we though he was our saviour, blue chip prospect.

And provided falsified hopes to JFJ for the Rask trade.

Pogge played 7 NHL games and it was in the Brian Burke tenure. I don't see how JFJ pushed him. If anything he did the exact opposite: acquired Raycroft; pushed him, then acquired Toskola, pushed him....all while having Pogge in the minors.

As Pogge said on TSN, people often "blame" him for the Leafs going from having 2 high end goalie prospects to having nothing, but the torch was handed to Raycroft.

he cant be worse than Reimer. Pogge would have to be a special kind of terrible to be worse than James

I wouldn't mind giving him a shot,

The real fans, blame Ferguson JR not him....

Reimer and Bernier both were amazing to start the season, same with last year... but really it's only a matter of time before being outshot 46 to 24 starts to catch up to you and your goalies.

Reimer has proven to be a very good goalie in this league. Take a look at Scrivens for example... who looked OK in Toronto, looked incredible in L,A, then back to atrocious in Edmonton this year.

Now... you may notice, that when he played for Toronto, we had a pretty good team (not amazing but playoff worthy)... then in L.A he was on a phenomenal team, and in Edmonton an atrocious one.... notice the similarities to his play?

It would be a very Maple Leaf situation for Pogge to have Tim Thomas return to the NHL with another team. Its not a real concern, but I have learned to expect the worst with this team.

His original potential was never that high to begin with. He had one nice year in junior and at the WJC's and that was it.
