If we get last year playoff Tanev and two years ago playoff Rielly good chance we have the best top d pairing in the tournament.Yeah I'd say don't count on Hakaanpaa yet. I'd rate it as above average but we lack that top 2 stud who can play against all lines in most situations.
2021-2025
Rielly = Rielly
Brodie = Tanev
Muzzin > McCabe
Holl < OEL/Liljegren
Dermott < OEL/Liljegren
Bogosian = Benoit/Hakanpaa
Sandin < Benoit/Hakanpaa
Good case 2021s Top Three is better than this years, but when we get to 4 and below the edge goes to 2025.
Geez, and I’m left with Alberta Premium, oh well I got friends in low places…….And me back to my Talisker.
Well ... for starters .... how about forwards who don't blow the zone early.That's great and all, but can they move the puck effectively to our forwards is the primary issue we've had regarding our defense these last few years
I'm not ready to say that.If we get last year playoff Tanev and two years ago playoff Rielly good chance we have the best top d pairing in the tournament.
Hed always enforce around the net, total shock seeing that from what i was expecting.You're sleeping on OEL's grittyness. Panthers teammates have said he has a nasty side to him
Also had over a 100 hits last year, which is solid for a 2nd pair defenseman

Not a big hitter but he wouldnt shy away from anything.
There were more moments but quickest i can find
We had one of the most physical teams last year, along with a physical defense.Feels like we have this exact pre preseason thread about how something is the best league wide every year, and every year it never becomes true.
My knees are shot, I'm also in a bad mood all the time.Haakanpaa - 6 foot 7 guy who arrives to the rink in a bad mood.

Tanev/OEL are both solid puckmovers so I'm hoping we've made progress in this regard.
Not good for you guys if he hates playing in a Canadian market, then.
But he was always glowing about Vancouver when he was here.
And he was also a giant useless muffin watching a lot of him in Arizona before we got him.
If you think OEL is going to be a physical presence for you, you are going to be horribly disappointed.
I know exactly how the big Finn feels, get yourself some Voltarin and a bottle of Alberta Premium…….My knees are shot, I'm also in a bad mood all the time.

Rub the Alberta Premium on your knees, brush your teeth with the Voltarin……Never tried that mix. On the rocks I presume?
I think that any combination of booze, voltarin and some recently legalized gummies can only lead to a good timeRub the Alberta Premium on your knees, brush your teeth with the Voltarin……
He said he watched alot of Arizona Hockey. Problem is no one watched alot of Arizona Hockey.Lmao again, im literally quoting his own teammates. No one is expecting him to lay massive open ice hits
He was a completely different player in Florida then he was in Vancouver. There's a reason he got the contract he got.
His time ion Vancouver was abysmal and thats all you can think about
Yes gummies are part of my regimen, no paranoia and I don’t cough up loogies like in the 70’s………I think that any combination of booze, voltarin and some recently legalized gummies can only lead to a good time

Is Kubina the best 3rd defenseman we have had since the early 90s? Svehla maybe 3rd best on that team but for that 1 year he may have been first or 2ndSince it’s a on paper comparison, I would argue 2010-11 is as good as any Leaf D on paper when it comes to defense, grit and even add the right-left element;
Phaneuf-Schenn
Kaberle-Komisarek
Gunnarsson-Beauchemin
And just before that, the 2007-09 group wasn’t bad too;
McCabe-Kaberle
Gill-Kubina
White-Colaicovo
Stralman
