I wish we'd stop talking about drafting McDavid!

We have JvR, drafted 2nd overall! How'd he work out for the Flyers? How is he working out for us?

We have Kessel, drafted 5th overall! He's not turning us into a contender, now is he?

We have Lupul, drafted 7th overall! He's not turning us into a contender either?

We have Phaneuf, drafted 9th overall! How's he working out?

We have Bernier, drafted 11th overall! Still a work in progress?

etc.

There is NO GUARANTEE that the player we draft, 1st, 2nd, or 12th overall, will even be an NHL player!

Anyone remember Alexandre Daigle, Pavel Brendl, Doug Wickenheiser, etc. ???

They all had questions about them when they were drafted

Skill with compete is what we need

Skill alone doesn't cut it

Ex.
Santo and Leo ( with a high level of skill )

 

[Erdinger]

Pull the goalie

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I hope nobody said that. At least I have never seen anything like that.

Sounds more like what those that refuse to accept its worth is saying in a way to misrepresent its proponents arguments.

Well this was the entire focus since Dubas was hired. To me it's always been players first, and better players by their play create better corsi numbers.

We already had a good corsi team of mediocre players, we need a good corsi team with good by product corsi's. Bottom line it is always better players over corsi. Some bloggers and posters thought better corsi would mean more wins. It has not happened under Horachek.

 

[King85Kong]

it's weird because he was a great player under Carlyle a real important reason why the Leafs were such a good team. now look at him/us.

His play got covered up by JVR and Kessel producing points. Getting exposed now.

 

[Ratboy]

gee, i wonder if philly is expecting phil to take a shot on his offwing here.

 

[LeafsLegendAkiBerg]

Quick, get Clarkson on the ice for the last minute of the PP!

 

[King85Kong]

So has everybody except Reimer

Come on now, thats not true.

 

[leafstilldeath*]

Clarkson still on PP



OH MY GOD

 

[SprDaVE]

good O zone pressure for once. Still can't score.

Can't even hit the net... Useless O pressure if you can't get a shot on net with a quality chance. It's all perimeter garbage.

 

[Semantics]

Clarkson demoted to the 4th line, but he still gets PP time. Only in Toronto.

 

[Daisy Jane]

gee, i wonder if philly is expecting phil to take a shot on his offwing here.

noooo it's not like he does that all the time!

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Kadri horrendous pass/giveaway. What is this guy thinking?

 

[Wendelstache]

Lol at clarkson hit attempt.

 

[Bill Waters*]

kadri give-ee-way

 

[Daisy Jane]

a 3 on 1.. but they missed. but they let one develop

 

[Snow Dog]

Another nice pass by Kadri to the Flyers.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Clarkson still on PP



OH MY GOD

How could these paid "professionals" behind our bench not see how bad he is?

 

[htpwn]

Lol at clarkson hit attempt.

Yep.

 

[SprDaVE]

All right. One minute left. Put Polak and Holzer on the point. Clarkson, Smith, Winnik and Komarov as the forwards. All heart line baby!

 

[Al14]

Kadri horrendous pass/giveaway.

Let's give him $4.0M plus! Idiot!
