[PWiz30]

They don't block shots with their skates.. they try to block them with their shin pads.

Literally made out of kevlar

Yeah, you try not to but it happens a lot.

Toronto with a terrible 5-3 powerplay.

 

[PWiz30]

Speaking of which, Hartnell is out indefinitely after taking a shot off the foot in front of Marty last night.

 

[Classic Devil]

Toronto back to the powerplay, and they're still godawful.

 

[glenwo2]

I forgot how annoying the Rangers shot blocking is. i've never seen a group of guys so happy to drop to their knees

I would say something.....but I'd probably get booted from this forum permanently if I did.

 

[Classic Devil]

Hm. Toronto scored again while I wasn't paying attention, it's 3-2 Toronto in Pittsburgh.

Yeah, I was gonna say. When you drop down to block shots, you don't take pucks off the skate too often.

Lundqvist with an AMAZINGGG POST SAVE!!

HENRIK!! HENRIK!!

 

[Devils Trap]

Rangers are now getting dominated by the Bruins in the 2nd

Yeah, I was gonna say. When you drop down to block shots, you don't take pucks off the skate too often.

You often expose the back side of your leg though.

 

[DevilChuk*]

That has to be the funniest tripping penalty I've seen taken in awhile. Wiped out and just took out the forward's legs.

Lucic just missed an open net. Long delayed penalty here.

 

[DevilChuk*]

Dougie Hamilton is real impressive.. kid's gonna be a stud it looks like.

HENRIK!! HENRIK!!

The Witch Nose at his best or their fanbase in the mid-season form?

Yeah and even with all the muscle back there, it still surprises me every time how much that hurts.

Was Kessel worth it, Toronto?

 

[DevilChuk*]

Was Kessel worth it, Toronto?

It's arguable that Seguin alone makes the trade worth it.. Hamilton on top has the potential of making this deal even worse than the Gomez-McDonaugh trade (mostly because that was pure luck on the Rangers part rather than a calculated risk on Boston's part)

When you throw on a cup win..

 

[Getzo5]

Was Kessel worth it, Toronto?

Hindsight 20/20, but yeah, Burke should`ve seen that coming.

 

[EliasFTW]

That trade.gets worse and worse.

No, Kessel is actually playing well for the Maple Leafs, Gomez sucked for the Habs. I don't think this deal is even close to that deal.

While it weighs in Boston's favor it's not like if Seguin and Hamilton were on the Leafs they would win the cup and Kessel is PPG.

Stick you Eddy

Was Kessel worth it, Toronto?

It's tough, I always felt like it was a 'decent' gamble that completely backfired. Burke probably thought that Kessel put them over the hump as a playoff team and that the picks were going to be closer to #15. They had the #7 picks in 2008 and 2009 (traded up for Luke Schenn in 2008). It was early, but there were at least some indications that scouts thought the 2011 Draft was going to be lackluster.

If the initial pick had resulted in say Gudbranson/Fowler instead of Seguin, the trade wouldn't look so bad. If Toronto had won a couple more games that season, that pick would have been #3............

......remember that game when the McAmmond/Zajac/Pandolfo scored in the last 3 minutes to beat the Leafs 4-3 in regulation?
