Post-Game Talk: Toronto Maple Leafs at New York Rangers - February 1

[Tob]

I'm not terribly in tune with player analysis but it seems like a lot of smack down opinions on our players are of the "what have you done for me lately?" variety.

 

[NYR]

The fantasy league is in your mind.

You never watched Shattenkirk and Smith on their old teams and we all know you refuse to even look at a stat, as evidenced by the fact that you insist Shattenkirk is a minus player.

You dislike them because you decided not to like them. You're AV.

These 2 clowns have sucked equally under 3 different coaches.
We're talking 3rd pairing Dmen.
What on gods earth would convince you otherwise?!
Smith couldn't even crack the line up on a very poor Detroit defense.
WTF are you talking shit about??!

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

That was a whole generation ago, man. Orpik is not McLeod. He can play the position. That's the whole point. You need players who are physical BUT WHO CAN ALSO CONTRIBUTE OTHERWISE

Still doesn't make the original Mcleod point in regard to the general desire for a dual threat team any less vapid or inane.

Actually..It's more like what have you done EVER lol

 

[Avery16]

OK let's forget Smith and Shatty just for the sake of your argument.
What has Zbad done exactly, not ony this year but EVER to make you think he's such a superstar?

Not a superstar. Superior to Brassard, and because he has been in almost every measurable aspect.

Shattenkirk has never played third pairing minutes on any team he's ever been on, so you made that up.

Who cares that Detroit didn't want Smith? They're the worst run organization in pro sports right now except the Browns. I'll welcome anyone they get rid of.

 

[Blais to Win]

We definitely would have scored five goals if Paul Carey had been dressed.

Got the feeling that these guys are kind of done with this season.

adding $5 words to a bad opinion doesn't transform it into a good opinion. Personnel decisions, lines, TOI, speed of game, passing, doesn't happen in a vacuum. We had better tools than what we put out there tonight. The choice to ice an inferior roster than what is possible is remarkable.

Whats the message to the squad when you demote Lettieri and give McLeod third line minutes?

 

[Machinehead]

Not the point.

I'm sick of this coach deliberately making this team worse -no matter how marginally- to fulfill his deluded fantasies.

 

[Blais to Win]

You guys will love to know that Jimmy Vesey led all forwards in ice time tonight.

 

[Blais to Win]

Whats the message to the squad when you demote Lettieri and give McLeod third line minutes?

Nothing. Lettieri needs development.

How about when your entire first line (and core) hears they're on the block to be traded?

 

[Machinehead]

Gee, speaking of the coach's deluded fantasies.

Did McLeod play more than Buchnevich at even strength? I bet he did.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Whats the message to the squad when you demote Lettieri and give McLeod third line minutes?

There isn't a message to the squad.

I don't give a shit about McLeod.

My point was it was a another neckbeard snort about a form of #tuffnezz which no one is even asking for.

Look back at my OP

 

[Avery16]

Thats a different kind of message, and after this game, not entirely inappropriate.

 

[Blais to Win]

More than four minutes more overall.

 

[NYR]

Shattenkirk has never played third pairing minutes on any team he's ever been on, so you made that up.

Who cares that Detroit didn't want Smith? They're the worst run organization in pro sports right now except the Browns. I'll welcome anyone they get rid of.

He most certainly was..Not only in STL but also last year on the CAPS..
On top of that you're going to blame the Wings ORG, the very team that's given every chance in the world for Smith to succeed a bad wrap?
C'mon bro..I know you have a better head on your shoulders than that.
You drinking tonight? Lol

Ill gladly chalk you down for 'disagree', but you lack a single intelligible point otherwise.

I'm not talking about tonight.

The point made in the Tweet had nothing to do with how the team shouldn't be constructed in the future.

It was a terrible point.

Ya..We would've shut them out lol

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Ahhhh...great new feature after the website update.

 

[Machinehead]

More than four minutes more overall.

lol I just looked

McLeod played a little over 12 at ES.

Buchevnich played a little under 7.

That's AV's career encapsulated in two sentences. Nothing else ever needs to be said about him.

Shattenkirk played behind Pietrangelo and Parayko in STL. Either one of those would be our #1. And he only played behind Parayko after he was on the market. As for DC, he was a deadline pickup. New to the system, and not to re-sign…that speaks volumes for how he was utilized.

I hate it!

It's ridiculous.
