That's a tough one. We're so lucky to sign Raymond. If we didn't sign him, we would be screwed.

 

[TheBlueStar]

Sucks!

Lupul
Kulemin
?

 

[WilliamNylander]

****ing phaneuf

 

[Pi]

Lupul
Kulemin
?

Phaneuf should sign for 5.5M now

He's taking out his teammates so he could get more money next year! People were right about him, such a cancer.

What's next? He's going to take Kessel out and put him on LTIR so he can he get a 12M contract..

 

[Mitchy]

Phaneuf, I defend you a lot but ****!!

let's not jinx anything with such stupid talk... these things happen. Just shows that they go hard at practice which is refreshing. He blocked a shot... could have been worse then just 2 weeks.

Boy, Phaneuf sure likes taking out teammates
Lupul, Kulemin....

this explains the Spencer Abbot recall, (I was wondering about that).

man games lost are starting to pile up now - but rather now than during the March/April.

 

[Cor]

YES! HE'S NOT TRADED!

but yeah, that sucks

 

[Ciao]

Who replaces him?

 

[FlareKnight]

Are we going to let Phaneuf walk this summer before he takes out Kessel next ? He's really got to stop injuring his teammates though...

Getting a bit thin with the callups though. Guys going down all over the place.

 

[leafsrule123]

Who replaces him?

Abbot

 

[stakesishigh]

Horrible news.

Hope he can recover quickly.

 

[darty]

Who blocks shots in practice? Seems like an unnecessary risk. I hope it wasn't an intentional block, but more of a no time to get out of the way type of thing.

 

[7even]

God damn.

Why wouldn't they? Blocking shots is a skill like any other and they won't learn how to do it properly by winging it in a game where the shooters won't care about them and points are on the line. When you are a tam that blocks as many shots as we do it probably is hard to get out of blocking mode anyways practice or not.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Oh Goddamnit! Just what we need, like a hole in the head.

You have to wonder about playing as hard at practice as a game philosophy.

Orr should be dropping the gloves and pounding Lupul senseless, Kulemin should be drilling Phaneuf into the boards, Kadri should be diving all over the ice, ...

I understand the thought process, but think that is like using real bullets and trying to kill each other during war games so that everyone gets up to speed.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Kule must've been hit by a shot that was going high and wide.


But sucks. He clocked 2nd most SH TOI/game for Leafs (for a forward). Bolland or JvR might be upped to first unit. and Bozak to 2nd unit to replace one of the above.

 

[Smif]

Hope it's not going to be one of those years...

 

[TootooTrain]

Shea Weber lets up in practice and he still manages to injure a teammate every once in a while. Very unfortunate.

Mclement will now get a chance to play a bigger role.
