I think if it comes to that, it's a matter of which player gets a better return. I think it would be Kappy, the question is whether it would be worth it. Depends on the deal.

Precisely.

Hey Hobbes, now that you're here ... I read your interesting comment in the other thread about what's it like to play at high-end international tourneys, that there's no comparison with any other competitions, and so that could explain why Sandin would welcome the WJC.  If you give us just a teensy tiny hint about what sport you play(ed), I promise never ever to change your MotM vote again.  How's that sound?

I play(ed) snooker. There are shots I could pot all day long that suddenly become completely different when a national championship is on the line, or when you're lining up a shot where the difference between making it and missing it could be upwards of $100k. It's insanely difficult not to think about the outcome of the shot rather than bearing down and pretending that it's just another one of those game finishers that you've done many thousands of times before in your home club. Same sort of thing that golfers experience in major tournaments...you have to learn not to think and it's much easier to do that when you've been through it all before.

Thanks for sharing that Hobbes, very cool!  Interesting to have your insights.  I sure as hell have never been in that situation.
 
Leafs playing a sneaky good defensive game.  Isles have had the shots, but many from the outside.

Engvall is having a really good game. So is Holl. But xxxxx is making a really good case for MotM

Fixed it. We're not mentioning the guys name in the net and how he's doing lol.
 
I disrespected Hutchinson and now just look at him.  Why, he's almost Vezina-worthy.  8) 8) :o :o ::) ::) :) :)

EDIT: Whoops Guilt Trip reply #112.  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Stop it lol.
 
Hutch has been good be still seems to give up too many juicy rebounds. Leafs have been cleaning them up pretty well, fortunately.
 
I know Willy is getting a lot of praise lately but I'm totally impressed with Kerfoot. His game has gone to a new level since being moved to wing.
 
Marincin gave Hutch a nice pat but he made a couple of good defensive plays on that sequence.
