Pre-Game Talk: Ottawa @Leafs

[nsleaf]

It's the old guys on this site who love Thornton.

He does nothing on the ice for the team.

He needs to retire.

Must be these guys

I used facts and evidence. @Teeder Keon has yet to provide any, other than "oh he has wisdom"

My point still stands, doesn't matter if you've been watching hockey for 1000 years. If you think Thornton is better than Kerfoot you really don't know much about hockey --- sorry to tell you old man.

Alex Kerfoot is used in a shutdown role, plays PK, blocks shots, scores short handed goals.
He creates far greater offensive chances than Thornton, and, is 5x the player Thornton is.

Just remember, after getting demoted from the 1st line, Thornton only manage to produce 1 point in 15 games (WHILE GETTING PP time).
Kerfoot (who doesn't even get PP anymore, just PKs) has produced better than Thornton will playing 4th line minutes throughout the season.

"OH but Thornton brings wisdom". Who gives a shit about wisdom? Why not put him in the press box instead? He can still travel with the team, give them "wisdom", and not be a bum on the ice.

You can make your point without any reference to a person's age.

We all have opinions. Nasty comments are not necessary.

I’m so over this North Division.

Is it just me or am I stupid. Has Skynet taken over, or am I in a time Warp, but the maple leafs app, maple leafs website and NHL website all show leafs not playing today, but playing tomorrow.

depends really on what day you check on

This.

After losing two straight to LOilers, Ottawa will come out like gang busters and pretend it's game 1 of the SCF.

Good. Measuring stick game.

We need to see how we fare vs. a team battling for the Cup.

I’m an old guy,and I have no time for him.So there.

 

[Beaumaris]

Every old guy this forum likes this guy? Dubas is he an old guy? Keefe is he an old guy?

Nonsense.

I personally do not miss playing like 90% of the western teams....at all. Do miss games against the better teams in the east. I could do without ever playing a boring Tuesday night game in Scotsdale ever again.

I'm not over the division per say but playing only in this division is getting tiresome.

Better than nothing I suppose.

You've obviously used neither facts nor evidence to back up this statement

I'm an old guy, and I do not love Thornton and have been quite vocal about my feelings about him being in the line-up,

I'd rather see a Gaudet or Agostini get his spot, just based on their size speed and knowing they have the tools required to play a bottom 6 role

Thornton retiring or being waived does SFA for the cap situation, so retiring Jumbo is actually detrimental to the cap situation and thusly the team

facts and evidence are apparently your friend or so I've read

cheers mate

I'm an old guy and I agree with you. Thornton can motivate the boys by retiring and being a bench coach. He's toast.

In honour of Campbell we need a cocktail with Jack.

Maybe with a soup twist to it. Gotta be cold soup though... like vichyssoise.

I come to this forum to get away from my Alcoholism. I’m glad there is always someone around to steer me back in the right direction.

 

[Ciao]

Thornton last 11 games.. 5 shots and zero points. Time to waive him to the taxi squad while we try winning last change advantage throughout the playoffs

I doubt the Leafs really want to do that as it would embarass Thornton and wouldn't help their free-agent recruitment efforts.

If they can carry 13 forwards, making him a healthy scratch might do, and that would help the team just as much.

They could also rotate him in and out with younger more effective players -- keeping him fresh for the odd time when he is in the lineup.

Save that swill for when you're out of everything else.

Give this a try

When we are beyond doubt the best team in Canada, it will all be worth it. The next best thing to winning the Cup.

That’s what I mean, the exclusivity.

Time flies when you're having fun.

I read he's tested negative since. If all goes well, he'll be back against the Jets.

Leafs deal for some playoff grit and potential cap space in injured Riley Nash | Toronto Sun

That’s good then.

 

[Bluelines]

Sure would like to see a good old fashion rout from the "best team in Canada" over the worst.

Something like 7-2 would be nice.

Uhh buddy the Leafs don't play the Habs tonight...
