Game 53: Oilers @ Maple Leafs 7:00Pm Sportsnet/am640 The duel of Hot Hands!

[Propellertop]

Those ones usually go against us so it's nice to have one go our way for a change!

 

[Tigger]

Question, what is worse: 

Connolly on the IR or the Connolly we have seen for the last 10-15 games?

Best I can say is Connolly is contributing on the pk but he was always going to be an expensive luxury.

...and hockey jeebus smiles on the Leafs...

 

[bustaheims]

Should be a goal...

Probably, but, it's borderline. Looks like the net could have been off anyways.

I wonder if EDM would be interested in Scrivens or Rynnas?  Dubnyk I don't think is their answer.

 

[Capn_Crunch]

NOT TO BE TRADED.

Seriously. Unless Stamkos or Malkin are coming back, not interested.

I'm sure a couple of other names could make that short list but grabbo just brings so much to the ice with him I wouldn't want to pee in the faces of the hockey gods and break up a good thing. I would be happy with that 1B-2A line for years to come.

 

[Tigger]

Lombardi's speed is nice.

No no, he's Colton Orr quality...

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Pretty much what I expected from that period.

 

[TML fan]

That was an incredibly bad display of defence from both teams.

If he's not their answer I don't know why either of those guys would be considered an upgrade.  Dubnyk is big, and putting up a 2.92 GAA and a .910 SV% on a young, offensive team - those aren't too shabby of numbers.  And he's only 25.

Yeah, the Leafs need to tighten that up. Edmonton, I don't think is capable of that.

Was just going to post the same thing. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with Scrivens/Rynnas/Oyuwa.

 

[Tigger]

Entertaining period if bereft of defense.

I know a two year wait-it-out deal is different than Grabovski, but if you are willing to give him 9.5 million over two years, I don't see why you can't give Grabovski 5 million.

Burke's going to need some magic to get him signed for under $5mil I think.

I'm on board, he's totally worth it.

I think the only thing that might save him, is that Grabbo wants to be here.

Cox between Kyper and MacLean, jeebus...

Seriously?  I think either Scrivens or Rynnas has more upside.  Can't say about MIDP.

4 yrs @ 5 mill or even 5 yrs x 5mill and I think burke should be very happy with that deal as he's only going to get better.

He is the cog that drives the team more then even Phil and Lupal.
That and he loves the Team and the City. This is Grabbo's home in every way possible.
Seriously BB just get er done asap.
