We can only hope, Quinn. You wanna come back to this team? I have good memories of then.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

NO.


no.

BAD SENORDINGDONG! BAD!

 

[Erndog]

Leafs score.
Leafs screw up, Team Scores
Team Scores again
Leafs are within one
Leafs dominate the game
Oh Noes! Leafs Lose!
Life is sad.

Most of that is fairly accurate and all but in which game did the Leafs ever dominate?

There was also a loooonggg stretch (8/9 games? Where the Leafs allowed the first goal, or even two.)

 

[ShaneFalco]

He must be going senile.

Carlyle has no answers for anything

 

[p.l.f.]

Oh boy ! Another Leaf game !

Shots 42-23 TB.

However, based on Leafs internal tracking methods the "chances" would only be 14-12 TB.

One good thing about this season's early promise was that the obnoxious Tank Kid Quitters have only emerged near the end.

Yeah, getting three meaningless wins is way better.

Nooooooo. well, maybe.

 

[Hero]

Leafs are out of the playoffs, so now we need a couple of big losses.

2 L in next 3 and Leafs have a 2/5 chance of a top 10 pick.

 

[Pi]

I know how the Leafs calculate scoring chances. Its simple and elegant:

Scoring chance = goal scored.

TB will shoot the puck 50 times on net but will only have 5 scoring chances tonight. Our team is just too good. Mystified, I am not.

 

[SprDaVE]

I can't believe it. Carlyle will give Carter Ashton minutes in the top 9. Heck he's actually with Kadri and Clarkson in practice right now.

I can't believe it. It's about time.

I can all ready see it though. Ashton will play well, but the Leafs will go down a goal or two, and Carlyle will then double shift McClement on each line for whatever reason, probably because he thinks he needs him for the faceoffs, which means Ashton will see the bench for the rest of the game.

Not defending Randy, but would we ever be in a better position if Carter Ashton got more playing time? He's an average bottom 6 player on an any average team, this guy isn't going to make a difference

Who said he would make a difference?

He's a young player that has played extremely well for the Marlies and has done fairly well with the Leafs when he actually plays. He's literally been playing under 5 minutes, which is Pejorative Slured for a young player trying to develop and make the NHL.

Carlyle has refused to give his 4th line any sort of minutes other then McClement (when he's on that line), which makes us play with 3 lines for at least 70% of the game... and then we wonder why the Leafs can't close a game and crumble down at the end of the season.

Ashton can easily play around 10 to 12 minutes without being a liability. He skates, he 's aggressive and isn't a complete knob defensively, unlike Orr, McLaren and other numbnuts that Carlyle would rather play.

I'm not saying Ashton, D'Amigo or whoever else from the Marlies would have salvaged the season, but at least they are/were 100% healthy, unlike Lupul, JVR, Kessel and Bolland recently, whom have all missed practices left, right and center. They look like crap and play like crap probably because they feel like crap physically.

 

[Ratboy]

Plus he gets punched in the nose a lot.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Ladies and Gentlemen - we can be 100 percent eliminated if we lose in regulation and Columbus gets 1 point. Finally. end the torture already.

 

[p.l.f.]

JVR Bozak Kessel
Leivo Holland Ashton
D'Amigo McKegg Bodie

I'd rather see that for now
They would work hard

They have to see what they have going forward in guys like Ashton.
RC though hasn't afforded then that opportunity, sticking him on the 4th line for 4 minutes. has our 2nd and third lines been THAT good that he couldn't have at least given the kid a chance?
Holland can't catch a break with RC either
D'Amigo out-plays 3rd and 4th line guys and gets sent down

the last 10 minutes - that's what I meant
