Shhhh... Let the healing process of the sobering cry play out.

A few positives to take from this game:
1. The best game I've ever seen Gardiner play. He was absolutely EVERYWHERE!
2. Rielly was just as good as Gardiner. They were our two best defensemen last night.
3. Kadri played like a man on a mission this game, but no one could capitalize on his passes.
Which leads me to my next comment: Boy, does the play ever die on Clarkson's stick.

I'm guessing 100 point season and disqualified right before the playoffs for cheating.

The Leafs will be the first team tested for steroids .. And will be DQ'd because one player fails - Clarkson

Rebuild the defense around Gardiner and Rielly.
Keep Bernier.
Get some two-way top six players and a #1 C somehow.....or something. I don't know. Phil Kessel is a great offensive player, but we can't ice a top six that can't play defense outside of Bozak.
Rebuild the bottom six into a hard-hitting, defensively skilled group instead of a group of guys that mostly excel at skating and putting up top six reject numbers.
Get. A. Freaking. System. That. Is. Defensively. Responsible.
Seriously. How long have we been crying for some defensive responsibility around these here parts? I really thought we saw massive improvements last year, particularly with the PK...and now we've apparently taken a hike backwards.

Guy wants the Leafs to tank for high picks. David "Wishes He Was Wendal" Clarkson for GM.

It's just how he does those hockey interviews. You watch him in casual interviews and he's no genius, but talks fluently. I don't think his communication style is the problem with his leadership, if one exists.

Maybe next year when Kessel and Phaneuf start receiving their big raises from their long term deals rewarding them for their contributions to Leafs success things will be better.

is that all because they played well or the rest of the team just looked like it was going through the motions?
well, that was one hell of a mail in last night
these last two games are going to be a hilarious gong show

And maybe the Leafs will put a decent team around them for next year. Anything can happen I suppose.

Kessel for sure scores 40 next year
changes to what end?
what is the top priority for the laughs?
is it
1) do what must be done "just to make the playoffs"
or
2) the harder, braver call, risk taking steps back , so this core and cap situation can be reset and replaced?

Lucky we have a young team or I would have thought they might have run out of steam down the stretch.
But youth and enthusiasm is self motivating and young legs and endless energy has carried them to this level of success.
Please remind me what is the advantage of a young team again?.

Ovechkin scores 50 goals like clockwork most years but it doesn't seem to be helping Washington any.
Maybe if Kessel scored 50 also we could be more like the Caps in the future, unless building a team around a goal scoring winger is a bad idea.
Kessel and OV will both be taking home $10 mil in actual salary next year, so I'm
that Kessel will match him.Ad
