Wooo, let the good times roll!

 

[Erdinger]

Hughson,Simpson and Healy are going to be creaming their pants Saturday night.

 

[Rayzorexe]

I'm not gonna watch it...gonna tune in on TSN1050 for this one at work. Chances are that they lose badly considering how good the Blackhawks are this year and the fact Toronto has not beaten than since Feb 13, 2003.

But we can always hope for a surprise win but with a PK running around under 70% in the last 19 games and goaltending hasn't been up to standard in the last few outings, I dunno..

Good news is that we get Phaneuf back in the line-up

 

[Derek Synak]

Last seasons team had the speed and heart to win a game like this, we don't have any of that left.

 

[Erdinger]

9-2 Hawks

 

[ThrillinPhil]

Can't wait to lose another one.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

we gon lose

 

[p.l.f.]

I can wait

 

[Rayzorexe]

9-2 Hawks

I don't think they'll do that bad. They have bad periods during games but usually go off with a decent one after..

7 - 3
Bernier giving up 4 on 21 shots and Reimer 3 on 24 - my prediction.

That's sounds a bit more realistic I admit. Maybe 7-0 then.

Leafs have now won just twice in regulation in their last 19 games.

That's bad


With his team sliding, Carlyle admitted that, big picture, things are not looking good.

"Our concern is very high," he said.

Not only that, those 2 regulation win were against Sabres and Islanders

6 - 10 - 3 since November

Who is "our"?

Who is "our"?

Coaching staff and management, I'm guessing of course

Then he should hold the players accountable for their crap play. Guys like Clarkson, Frasor, Franson, Ranger have all been black holes in our lineup this season.

Very high? Is this like double secret probation? 1 minute to midnight? Basically they aren't going to do a freaking thing.

 

[p.l.f.]

If I'm a GM, and my concern about the team is very high, what would I do?

I would try and make a chemistry changing 10 player blockbuster trade.

You would be hard pressed to find a team willing to take 5 of the Leafs overpaid plugs.

No Gilmour's out there to acquire, and Reimer won't get us an Andreychuck type player.

 

[Autism]

The offensive juggernauts, the future doesn't look to bright for the leafs.

 

[p.l.f.]

Maybe that's why they're highly concerned

 

[frankthetank91]

I hope there's a trade before then. Too much quality not enough quantity. Want to ship out some forwards for some D.

 

[BonMorrison]

Now young Skywalker - you will die.

 

[Erdinger]

Maybe that's why they're highly concerned

Perhaps their MLSE bosses couldn't believe how much extra revenue they made with those 3 playoff games. Now they realize they aren't going to be getting any playoff revenue the way this team is performing. That is why they are highly concerned.
