Leafs @ Bruins - Nov. 21st, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[Jeremiad]

Now I'll take my negativity and go away for another year.

GO LEAFS!!!

Matthias................ 

 

[ZBBM]

Let's see.  Phaneuf shows Mo how to play Marchand's dippity-do in the 1st.  Doesn't get into stupid fight with Chara in the 1st.  Good stick there.  Well done, Captain.

Am I missing something about Travis Hamonic? Those are some crazy trades being suggested.

Does anybody know, even if only generally, what the problem is that he needs to go the Prairies?

He's almost a Gardiner clone, so how good you think he is sort of depends on how much value you place in certain stats.

I didn't see what they were suggesting he would bring back in a trade, but I mean when was the last time a team got back fair value for a player who was demanding a trade to a small amount of teams? There's almost no way this ends positively for the Islanders.

The names that got thrown around were:

Calgary: TJ Brodie or Dougie Hamilton
Edmonton: Darnell Nurse or Jordan Eberle and Justin Schultz
Winnipeg: Jacob Trouba

Honestly it should really be in the rulebook that crosschecking Brad Marchand is completely legal as long as he doesn't die.

Ok yeah those are silly even if Hamonic wasn't demanding a trade like this. I could see Hamonic for just Eberle being fair value, but the Islanders need a defenceman coming back they're pretty set at forward.

And then it's a two minute minor.

 

[ZBBM]

Not that he's converted anything, but Matthias has been the best Leafs forward offensively.

 

[ZBBM]

Bah.  Twice he's been allowed to unload from there.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

If I have my history right we're going to trade for Vasilevsky tomorrow.

 

[ZBBM]

Reimer's best game yet IMO.  Too bad he wasn't rewarded, but what can you do.

 

[ZBBM]

I'm just going to say it, pathetic GDT turnout tonight.  Even less than last night ... kind of sad.

 

[Jeremiad]

Disappointing results, but, yeah, Reimer played great. Too bad about the empty-net tally going to such a jackass.

To be expected really with the rebuild and all plus I'm sure this site is still recovering after it's shut down last year. What have been the turnouts for other games this year?

some of us just lurk now for fear of ridicule. this place is not what it once was....

 

[pnjunction]

I'm lurking too but what is there to say other than Reimer put up another fantastic effort to lower the draft position but tonight the team was able to overcome
