The Out of Town Thread part XLVII All talk from around the league here

[Teufelsdreck]

They did a bad job last summer, they lost Jagr and JVR and only signed Fedotenko to replace them. Add to that Briere not being there to start the year and you have a very offensively challenged team. I expect a trade very soon from the Flyers

Flyer personnel who were going to win a Cup for Philadelphia helped win one for Los Angeles. Imagine that!

Hartnell is out indefinately with a foot injury.

My heart goes out to them.

Boston vs Pittsburgh in the Conference Finals.

 

[sharks9]

Come on Pittsburgh! Show the Leafs how ****** they truly are!

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Gaborik, Nash, Richards is going to be a dirty, dirty line for NYR....

Their depth scoring after that is terribad though. If Nash doesn't live up to their billing they won't have the offense to keep up with the Pens and Bruins.

I don't know... Callahan and Stepan have put together pretty good cases for themselves. Having Del Zotto, Girardi, and McDonagh means they should have decent puck movement from at least two pairings. The "problem" I see is how many minutes their bottom 6 can handle. They don't even have to chip in much in the way of offense, as long as they can play enough reliable minutes to avoid running that top line into the ground with 30 minute nights of catch-up hockey all year. Maybe not as big of a concern in a shortened season, but they still have to keep up with whomever they face come the post season.

 

[Shaby23]

Ewwww 2-1 Leafs

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Ewwww 2-1 Leafs

Yeah, that window is going behind my Ranger/Bruins feed on the other monitor...

 

[Et le But]

JVR scores..time for Toronto to plan the parade.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

The leafs have to win a few games, we don't want them picking in the top 10.

Agreed, but I'm getting genuinely concerned that Kadri is actually good.

 

[Nashy]

Is it just me or do the Leafs get a 5 on 3 almost every game? Kadri sure draws a lot of penalties.

 

[BLONG7]

The Pens are going nowhere with Fleury as their goalie...he looks like the same guy who got lit up by Philly in the playoffs...

 

[CP31]

Looks like lupul I injured

 

[Et le But]

The JVR-Schenn trade was highway robbery.

Yea but when they beat teams like Pittsburgh we have to deal with comments about how great their team is.

 

[TRG]

Fleury sucks and Malkin has been beyond bad tonight.

 

[Et le But]

I hate to say it but the Bruins look like the best team in the east so far.

Fleury sucks and Malkin has been beyond bad tonight.

Fleury is such a liability it's not funny.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Bos/NYR is really good.

 

[vokiel]

Most of the pens are looking like a bunch of floating beach balls tonight.

Exaggeration for comical relief

Remember that episode of Southpark when Cartman gets that whole amusement park to himself and by the end of the show he loses everything and feels worse than if he never got the amusement park to begin with?

Ya, hope can be a cruel mistress.

 

[Whitesnake]

Another proof that we have to take the WJC with a grain of salt....Dougie Hamilton.
