Bertuzzi is so mid for $5M, Jesus.

I find myself wondering - just how did he rack up 30 goals with Detroit?

Me too.  I have been wondering all year, "What was all the hype in signing this guy??!"  I really hadn't seen him play before this season besides hockey hilights from last years playoffs and read some of his stats which were typically bad.

Keefe is just gradually working his way through removing all the July 1 signings from the ice.

I see Kampf was June 28

There are players that I don't miss from last year like Kerfoot, Bunting (and his antics and subsequents issues with the refs), Holl, etc.  I do miss O'Reilly and Schenn and Acciari but they were getting older and the latter 2 were given MUCH more money than I was expecting.

I was disappointed this summer when Kampf was not only re-signed for more than he was worth he was also given 4 years and a M-NTC. Crazy. 

Disappointed by Reaves signing, Klingberg signing and Bertuzzi...although Bertuzzi was a BEAST in the playoffs for Boston last year.  If he can do that then it will be worth it. 

I was concerned that Domi was going to be another Kadri/Bunting and be putting the Leafs in a bad position with his antics as he never plays very physical but always gets emotional and typically hurts his team.  I figured his 20 goals though would replace Bunting at a $500,000 savings.  That hasn't happened.  Domi's boneheaded plays reminds me of Dermott as he seems to have a lower hockey IQ than most of the Leafs.

I thought Benoit would be a perfect, hard nosed 6-7 dman and was surprised the Leafs got him.

When I look at the current team, there are very few players that I hope they keep (either because of their hockey style or because of their contract compared to what they deliver)

100% agree with Kampf especially the duration just stupid. You could have played Holmberg and not notice much of a difference for half the price and saved you 2-3 years. Ridiculous but hey he's a good OT face-off man.
 
Just laughing at the 2 year extension Keefe was given which doesn't kick in till next year. Amazing how they throw money away be lucky if he's still employed at the end of this season. Treliving mistake.

Why do you hate watch this team? Life is short. If this team causes you this much stress then just stop watching. Why put yourself through so much agony?
 
Nice takedown by Robertson there in front of the net. Someone called him soft - he's not soft. He's just too small and easily gets muscled off the puck. There's a difference.

I'm not stressed out one bit. I'm just calling it like I see it. I have my opinion you have yours, Guilt has his, ZZBM his it's a forum.
 
I actually find it funny Joe and maybe just maybe there will be changes soon. Whether it's coach, core or scrubs at least something.
 
Basically this is a preview of the upcoming playoffs. Opponent takes away time/space and the Leafs cannot score.
