Congratulations to Ron Wilson (I swear I thought I would NEVER say those words!) - he got this one exactly right. The "merging superstar" has been stinking the joint out for the last few weeks.

Right you are! In fact I bet you could put your niece's team out there and do better than the leafs 30th place PK.
Excellent analysis Doctor! My sincere compliments! (Remind me again: are you a LEAFS fan...or a HABS fan?)
I'm a true Leafs fan & always will be. Just because i'm one doesn't mean i'm not allowed to criticize where criticism is due. I'm not like GHG & all the other Habs crazies who think Maxim Lapierre is the next coming of Wayne Gretzky & that Jaroslav Halak is Jacques Plante. I love my team & i want them to improve & i'll criticize them where i think improvements are needed. I want them to win & i'll criticize them until they do.
Doc, Halak isn't the second coming of anyone and neither, to the dismay of many, is Carey Price. at this point in time Halak is the goalie that's winning the games and he should be considered the number 1 goalie on the team. He's also light years beyond either goalie on the Leafs and if he found himself in a Leafs sweater you'd be crowing about how great he is. Kinda the way you were talking about Komi before the season started. For whatever reason some people are convinced that Price is a franchise goalie but I haven't seen that in him yet. Maybe he will turn out to be a great goalie one day, but at the moment I think there has been too much put on his young shoulders way too soon and I think that as long as this continues, he will not be able to achieve what is expected of him. And yes, a lot of that is due to the fact that the team in front of him can't score enough goals to give him the support he needs. It's unfortunate but he may never achieve his potential playing for the Habs. At least not this version of the team.
By the way...not long ago you were talking about how the Leafs were going to pass the Habs in the standings and how great Kessel was and he would turn the team around. Now it seems like you're ready to dump half the team. Oh well...I guess being a Leafs fan is enough to turn anyone into a manic-depressive or is the term today bi-polar?

Well, at least until they're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs this year, then you'll jump on another band wagon. Same play different year.
What can i say? Unlike you, i'm a true hockey fan & i'll always keep on watching hockey, even if my favorite team isn't in the playoffs. I remember just over a year ago, you telling me that you weren't going to watch hockey since the Bruins sucked. Suddenly, when they become a very good hockey team, you're back to being a Bruins fan again. Now who's the bandwagon jumper?
Stick to baseball, SK......it's rather obvious you don't know much about hockey other than being a bandwagon jumper. Stick to baseball & the Red Sox.......

Halak is a very good backup goalie. Price is the franchise. Check their stats & the calibre of teams each has faced. Enough said. I win again!
How more inept can they be at killing penalties??
They played a very good game tonight & shot over 50 times at Ryan Miller, losing 3-2. However, the special teams once again killed them...no goals on the PP, and all of Buffalo's 3 goals were scored with the man advantage.
from the same article:
The Hockey News’ Ken Campbell nominated the Leafs’ deal with Boston, which sent prospect Tuuka Rask to the Bruins in exchange for Andrew Raycroft – as the worst deal of the 2000s. Considering Rask’s strong work for Boston this year – and his upside - that ranks right up there among the great stinkers, …
What happened to all your Gomez bashing comments and the rest of your posts from last July 1? You know, the ones where you said all the Leaf signings were great and all of Bob`s deals were terrible? Oh, yeah, you DELETED the incriminating evidence (as you always do)

Why aren't you watching Treehouse TV or a re-run of Sesame Street ? You might learn something.

Nice try Doc, please point out where I said those words. If anything, I said I wasn't a hockey fan in general anymore since the implementation of all the bullshit penalty calls, etc and the league got away from the real old time hockey. However, I've always stuck with the B's even in this new era of hockey. Give it time, we'll hear you whooping it up for the smurfs by February.
Says the man who's Laffs are where in the standings...
Oh, there they are...I wasn't at the bottom yet...
Really? The Habs are 7-3 in their last 10 games while the Maple Craps are 3-7. I know you're not good with numbers and math is confusing for you ... but even you should be able to figure that one out (or maybe not)
