How Derek Engelland is an everyday NHLer boggles my mind. The guy is liability everytime he is on the ice. He doesn't move the puck well, doesn't impose his will physically and is terrible in his own end. The sooner we get this loser off our team the better.
Okay, he had a really bad game tonight, but other than tonight he's been nothing short of rock solid most of this year. This was just one of the few bad games he's had this year so far. Just relax a bit.
Other than tonight & a select few other games, he's been much better this year than he was most of last year.
On the bright side, I thought Dougie looked great tonight.
He is really coming around and has been great since mid November onward.
It's scary how good he looks like he's going to turn out.
It's funny because if you listen to Oiler and Canuck fans, all they talk about is his rough start like he's still playing that way. One of the biggest burry-your-head-in-the-sand topics with rival clubs at the moment. It's pretty comical.

It was far from pretty but I'll take it. Three important players were out of the line up. I hope they learned their lesson. Don't do again boys. lets learn from this and move forward. We need you to be on the top of your game. We cant move forward with out you. Lets grow as a team and build something special. Go Flames Go!
Hiller needs to be gone. First goal not his fault, the other two you expect an NHL goaltender to stop at least one of them if not both. That is generous!
Nakladal? Super stud or lost cause? How can we tell? Pasted to the bench! Not impressed with Hartley, not impressed at all with the team.
We played an AHL team regardless of healthy scratches and struggled.
As for Kadri, thats a suspension. Say what you will, If I do that I get arrested. Spend the night in prison. I dont see the big deal, but society does. Leaf lovers say its no big deal. IF Gio did that they would want 20 games!
Awful game.
Media says how bad the leafs are but they have no one, with healthy scratches we still should of dominated this game!
Good game Granlund! Hamilton too!

Mentioned this in the game thread, but I would love to trade for Jake Gardiner. This:
Brodie-Hamilton
Gio-Gardiner
Would be a huge upgrade for us, and with rolling our two Norris-calibre guys on separate pairings we'd have the kind of defensive depth of the 07 Ducks with Niedermayer and Pronger.
Or we could just go with
Gio-Brodie
Gardiner-Hamilton
Now that's a blueline that'd be a huge upgrade for us, the kind we need.

"It was tough because you can't find 3 better young men ... They made a mistake, they paid for it." - Bob Hartley on the scratches
Kristen Odland @Kristen_Odland
Hartley on scratching Bouma, Gaudreau, and Monahan: "They didn't rob a bank. They broke a team rule. And that's the end of it."
Kristen Odland @Kristen_Odland
Hartley: "I know some people say, '(Those are our) top two scorers' ... but when you make a mistake, you have to be accountable."

I'm not even sure if this is the worst line-up the Leafs have had.
That line-up is terrible though.
Quote:
Thats possibly the worst forward group Ive ever seen
Quote:
Wonder how the Oilers are going to match that tank. I'm sure they'll figure something out.
Quote:
One does not simply out tank the Oilers.
Johnny Tardy, Benched Sean Monahan, and Lance Boo-urns
Quote:
Lol wow they might've just out-tanked us.
Quote:
YOU CAN'T OUT-TANK Us!!!!!!!!
Quote:
don’t do it calgary.
If they healthy scratch Johnny Hockey and Monahan against us..
Nobody can out tank a Cor GDT though, so there's that
Quote:
How drunk did they get?
Quote:
I have Gaudreau AND Monahan on one of my fantasy teams.
So… yeah
Granlund scores
Quote:
Flames win the Kessel trade.
Quote:
The Flames picked the perfect night to sit their best players.
Quote:
its happening! Matthews!
Quote:
Just like Phaneuf was still on the power play
Corrado ties it
Quote:
Noooo
Quote:
That goal is brought to you by the Dion Phaneuf trade.
Quote:
Lol Why does Babs look so sad after we scored.
Quote:
that was kind of a softie on Reimer. Not saying this to start anything, but he’s had a few in the past few games. Probably due given how he’s played in the last 20 or so.
Quote:
"not much of a game, eh?"
"No!! sloppy!"
"well it doesn't help when you take out your top two scorers."
this is so awesome.
Too Many Leaf
Quote:
Quote:
If all else fails put too many men on the ice
Quote:
another game, another too many men penalty for the leafs
Quote:
I swear, we are going to set a record for the most too much man penalties in a season.
Quote:
Leafs top secret tank tactic: too many men
Edit: its successful

Kadri just got rocked.
Quote:
Wow kadri got rocked
Quote:
lol could see Kadri mouthing to the Refs "look at my f'ing face"
Quote:
What is Kadri *****ing about? Clean as it gets. Quit that ****
Quote:
Kadri is pissed. You can see blood in his mouth. He's telling Giordano that he's ****ing dead. I'm not sure how that will work out for him..
Quote:
If that was a dirty hit we might as well rename the NHL to the No Hitting League.
Bad 3rd period but the boys got the 2 points. Bob sent a message , and for the first time in almost 6 weeks we won 2 in a row. Let's keep going boys!!!!
