GDT: Canes @ Leafs

[Finlandia WOAT]

We'd like Jeff Skinner ofcourse, because other than that nothing would really make persuade us to move him.

I was being mostly facetious (the joke is that Leafs who have good games against the 'Canes somehow end up on Carolina, mainly Brent), but if we wouldn't send Skinner for Rick Nash, why would we send him for Phil Kessel?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Lurking on your board here.

Yeah, don't let Kessel's stats this season paint a picture on how he has played. He's actually never looked better as a Leaf. The goals will come.

We have no interest in trading him at all and as a matter of fact we'd like to re-sign him. If he doesn't want to, then we'll probably entertain ideas.

Well we definitely do NOT want Kessel then.

I think Kessel would do really well here. Pitkanen's and Kessel's social awkwardness could really gel together.

 

[SeaBasstian]

wow Chantel....that was game 1-esque

 

[Joe McGrath]

Are we sure scouts aren't just here for Kessel? Makes a lot more sense than the entire NHL being here to see McBain...

I have no doubt half the NHL scouts wouldn't show up just to see McBain, but they are at the game and would still view him and how terrible he's been.

 

[smi]

Yeah, Mike Rupp will be huge for the Wild.

 

[Mr America]

NHL Scouts at this game? We much be trading Ward, Staal, and Skinner, for Orr, Kadri, and Kulemin?

 

[Clark Gillies]

Missed the first.
Don't understand sitting Corvo again - Sangs just plain sucks.
Don't understand sitting Nodl - Played well in limited minutes so far.
Don't understand sending Dalpe down for Wallace.

Really starting to have doubts if this organization has a clue.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Honestly, that first goal is 50/50 on Ward and Sanguinetti. I can see what Ward was trying to do there (get the puck to Sangs so he can randomly slap it away), and Sangs lost it.

But letting in one goal on 18 shots? I'll take that any day.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

On another note....the quality of the advertisements has jumped. Thank God.

He looked confident, too. Didn't look like he was fighting it. Great period from him.

 

[SeaBasstian]

Wallace looked good in the few minutes he played, actually

1. Corvo has just plain sucked too.
2. Haven't paid enough attention to Nodl one way or another to comment.
3. Dalpe hasn't been playing that badly, but Mueller probably wanted to bring in a more physical guy with better defensive bonafides.

Cam was the only bright spot in the first, despite that 1 bad rebound.

Imma score a goal was epic. I am rite and you are wrong. You know nothing about advertising.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Sanguinetti should have had his man covered on that goal. That's his fault. But it was still the luckiest goal I've seen in a long time.

 

[Unsustainable]

He has a huge presence on the ice.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Meh...the problem is and was the same. The defensive corp is pretty weak and not just in the defensive zone, but trying to get any flow going offensively just doesn't happen. Looked like at the end of the period Muller was just going with 4 defensemen as there was no McBain or Sanguinetti at the end there.

I was listening to Chuck for a bit on 99.9. Had to laugh during McBain's penalty when Chuck said "Hurricanes are 27th in the league on the Penalty Kill. Hard to believe there are 3 teams worse than the Hurricanes".

I can relate to that.

In Toronto and I'm referencing basketball, we ended up trading Charlie Villaneuva to Milwaukee for T.J Ford because Villanueva had a 44 point eruption against them.

Consequently, we signed Kleiza to a ridiculous deal after he had left the NBA for a while because he owned us for 40+ points one time.

Don't know why I'm giving B-ball references here.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

McBain has been insanely bi polar this season. Decent game followed by horrid game.

His lack of conditioning?

 

[SeaBasstian]

lol @ Tripp "Cam Ward killing 2 Toronto penalties"......obviously the rest of the team did nothing on those lol
