Recent Ex-Leafs Around the League.

Not in the NHL, but this just happened:

Former Maple Leafs centre Dominic Moore signs with Swiss team - Sportsnet.ca

 

[LeafFever]

Not talking about this thread, but funny to see how the 'Egocock screwed over Josh Leivo' comments have pretty much stopped since his hot start in Vancouver.

I think a big part of that is because Ennis got hurt and another young player in Moore has played for Ennis instead. Moore look solid.
I do still think Leivo was better than Ennis though.

Top 5 Scorers from Ex Leafs

Phil Kessel 8 points in 6 games
Alexander Steen with 5 in 7 games
Brian Boyle with 4 in 7
Connor Carrick with 4 in 6
Leo Komarov with 3 in 7

Sadly we do not always miss those Europeans and are sometimes happy to be rid of their skill
Steen and Konarov would be better than good Canadain Kids Connor Brown, Travis McDermott or Tyler Enis but I am not saying that it would be heaven
The Yankee Kessel was a bit of a nuclear vessel, and we all just needed to take a chill pill

Gunnarsson got his 1st. assist tonight.

Has played 10 games this year, missed a bunch of games.

Da fuq?

Losing sure follows Phaneuf around a lot. It's like he's built an entire career getting paid as an upper echelon defenseman based on his first three years in the league but is otherwise probably not much more than a Ron Hainsey level defenseman.

The 7 million dollar fraud is still top 10 cap hit among ALL D in the entire league , bahahahahaha

soooo glad we dumped his over inflated butt.

I hope he, David Clarkson, and Joffery Lupul are sending Dave Nonis Christmas cards every year. What a generous guy, eh?

The amount of money Nonis handed out to players was basically a scam.

Congratulations to:

Bozak
Komarov
Martin
Polak

... for their round 1 playoff victories.

 

[Nineteen67]

Curtis McElhinney - 2-0, 2.25 GAA, 0.930 sv%

They all forget him when tweeting and posting.........I hope Babs doesn’t forget him in the media scrum tomorrow...

 

[MattySnipes]

Doug Armstrong was on HC @ noon. He mentioned how he was really happy for Bozak and Maroon. He said Bozak has been a huge help this playoffs (not only production) as well as in the room with the guys.

Congratulations to:

Bozak
Komarov
Martin
Polak

... for their round 1 playoff victories.

If the Leafs don't go on, the Blues will be the team I'm cheering for.

I’m going for the Islanders if that happens. Too good a storyline. JT leaves... our players cast off. Something to prove.

Bozak
Komarov
Martin
Polak

... for their round 1 playoff victories.

Congrats but don’t miss any of them

 

[Pookie]

Congrats but don’t miss any of them

I wouldn’t have resigned them but nice folks and good to see them experience success.

 

[Pookie]

Let’s add a congratulations to Curtis in Carolina as well.

Looks like being let go by the Leafs increased their chances to win a Cup

Sigh

You do realize that McElhinney has not played a single minute of the playoffs so far.

 

[Gabriel426]

Bozak is Bozak, I always think he is a solid player.
I have not seen the Stars played so not going to comment on Polak.
McBackup is McBackup.
I do want to comment on Leo and Martin bc they were total crap last year, heck Martin didn’t even play for half the season. Now these two are playing very solid in NY and I just wondered why is that?
Take their cap hit aside, why can’t they be effective for the Leafs but can do it as an Isles. I really question Babs style, as he is not playing to the players strengths

You do realize that his 20 reg seasons wins and 2 OTs resulted in 42 points for the Canes and helped them get into the playoffs?

I'm sure he's part of the reason they made the playoffs. However in terms of Carolina making the 2nd round he did not have anything to do with that.

They can’t be effective for the Leafs because the Leafs... led by Dubas who “doesn’t buy (physicality).... have an arrogant view that the game has changed.

Which is funny considering we haven’t made it out of the first round in 3 years while we saw Tom Wilson hoist a Cup while Ryan Reeves watched from the ice.

And Matt Martin averages over 12 mins for the Islanders in the playoffs.

 

[Pookie]

As a former goalie, this is pretty offensive to think that the one that isn’t playing has nothing to do with team success.

Komarov, Bozak, JVR (no playoffs), Polak, even Martin - all useful. The Leafs didn't have the space to re-sign Komarov or Bozak or JVR. Polak should have been re-signed, underrated mistake. Babcock and Dubas are wrong, there is room for players like Matt Martin.

The way Babcock utilizes players is strange. I think after this series (Matthews 15min played 5 mins left in a game you trail by 2). We can all agree
