Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 6-3 to the Isles (Post game starts on page 18)

[shaner8989]

Calgary management is in house to watch this game

 

[Eddo22]

That's literally impossible.

My point exactly. Impossible trade. Granted Clarkson was an impossible trade too.

 

[Sonny21]

Calgary management is in house to watch this game

It seems every time Flames management is in house to watch Leafs, they **** the bed! ****!

 

[yubbers]

I don't think Phaneuf is on the block, Babcock seems to like him.

Good

That's what he wants you and other GMs to think

Bernier doesn't want to move to Calgary.

 

[rrc1967]

so that squeeked James Reimer up to .936

which puts him .001% behind Neuwirth for highest save % in the league.

 

[garce]

for heck yah.
ill come keep you company!

He used to have 3 pairs, first he had were top row greys at the Gardens. Access to many more. Right now first row greens and 4 shared top row reds which are my favourite of all time. Big Irish family he's one of the oldest and I'm the youngest. I'll try to finagle the Reds next year Daisy and you and a guest can join myself and a son or niece or a nephew. Unless he follows thru and doesn't renew, and that hasn't happened so far.

Made possible by the Jackets being cheap idiots and not insuring Horton.

I don't think even Loophole Lou can find a way out of Phaneuf's contract, especially since taking on another LTIRetirement deal will eat into offseason cap space since it'll overflow the 10% buffer.

Pretty sure that Horton's contract was uninsurable due to concussions before his back gave out

Phaneuf 10% retained for Ryan Clowe ++?

That makes sense.

i think he meant literally as in you literally can't retain 80% salary

 

[Ovate]

The one positive of the game tonight is that our 4th line did quite well. Boyes and Matthias with two point nights each, and had the least ice time.

Brad Boyes is now ranked #1 on the Leafs in Even Strength Points per 60, with over 2. His shooting percentage is 6.6%, compared to a career average of 11.7, last year at 9.3, and a career worst (in 12 previous years), of 7.1. Currently, less than 20% of his assists are secondary, compared to a league average of over 40%. So, he's not getting lucky in either of those areas and should actually be expected to improve.

Despite all of this, he is dead last in average time on ice per game. I sure hope that he's asked for reduced minutes due to his age, because any other explanation would reveal massive incompetence in Leafs management.

So a 1st, maybe a 2nd for Boyes then at the TDL?

 

[hamzarocks]

well atleast the habs are choking

 

[garce]

Bernier doesn't want to move to Calgary.

He's going to love Orlando.

 

[ULF_55]

Islanders won the game.

They were better than the Leafs, and you can't win them all.

Whatever, transition year, wins-losses don't mean much.

 

[ULF_55]

As far as trading Phaneuf, a couple decent prospects and cap dump and we're good.

 

[garce]

It's how you lose,for me tonight was close to what happened second half last year. This was a exception this year. Winning tomorrow night isn't a big deal but playing better is .

Leafs outshot and outplayed them. They beat themselves with the odd missed assignment that seemed to always end up in the back of the net. Bernier also didn't help

 

[ULF_55]

If Calgary was around, probably Hamonic.

 

[Ovate]

So a 1st, maybe a 2nd for Boyes then at the TDL?

Clearly that's unrealistic, but if he got more ice time and keeps him play up then he could get something like a 2nd + 3rd. Playing on a line with Kadri and Komarov would boost his value more than it's boosting Grabner's value.

well that would be sweet -- thank you

but honestly. i don't know (even when this team is hecka bad) why you'd give up tickets. i mean it's the leafs. they're GONNA be good eventually. and even if they aren't you get the see the superstars on the other side put on a show. win win

 

[Cor]

That makes sense.

What the ****.

 

[Warden of the North]

If Calgary was around, probably Hamonic.

Treliving and Burke both were in Toronto a couple weeks prior to Christmas to watch a game.

Coincidence?

 

[Moncherry]

So are people pretending that loss wasn't mainly due to Bernier being a sieve? Pucks going right through him, again.
