The Hockey Thread!

I just saw on the Toronto Sports Network they were planning the parade for next year already lol

 

It's where they belong!!!

Maybe they'll trade their 1st round pick to get Phil Kessel back lol

 

Hows Phaneuf working out for ya?
Different in Toronto now....
I would trade the Pittsburgh first round pick back for Phil any day of the week, that is our second first rounder! Thanks Phil

 

Go Marlies Go !

 

Actually heard on the radio the Ricoh stadium has sold out games ....

 

They forced a 7th game last night

 

Too bad there isn't a stud in this year's draft a-la Connor McDavid last season.

 

Any predictions for this season, play-offs?

 

Yea, sans leafs

 

Leafs take the cup in 6

 

the Dixie cup from the motel 6

 

LOL.....because they're the centre of the universe!

 

Well the centre of Canada anyways.

 

You know Winnipeg is the centre of Canada right? Go Jets!

 

Time for Canadian hockey !!!!!


Let's go Oilers !!!!!

 

Let's go Whalers, Northstars or Nordiques!

 

Went to the game last night to watch the Matthews and Laine show! WOW both those kids will be special for a long time. Go jets!

 

As a Toronto sports fan I am very depressed today

 

You shouldn't be, they have some very young and promising talent.

 

I wouldn't be. At least theyre playing exciting hockey again and theres some depth in the farm team. Matthews fills the huge void Kessel left (in scoring), and maybe a bit more.

But theres still work to do. Defense obviously is a sore spot when you lose a game after being up 4-0. And im not convinced they have anything more in goal than a placeholder for when the rebuild is actually done (contrary to the media hype, its a long way from there). But in fairness, until TML establish a solid D core, they will continue to be the goalie killer they have been for many years now.
The way they handled Reimer/Bernier/Phaneuf/Kessel etc was a joke. I think Shan/Lamorello/Babs need to prove the organization is different now in the way they handle players, so that TML finds itself on the trade lists of the leagues elite FA's for a change.

or perhaps you were referring to the Blue Jays implosion yesterday?
TBH, other than pitching, they underperformed this year as they did the year before last. I didn't have very high hopes due to their weak offense. Bye -Bye Joey Bats.

 

Agree completely with all of this.

 

Both, go Raptors!
