Amusing Stats on the Execrable Toronto Maple Leafs

As of today:



The third best (84th in the league) is Invisible Man little Phil Kessel, a Boston castoff who has ensured the future of the Bruins by providing them with top draft picks. For the millions of dollars (and the draft picks!) that little Phil is costing the Leafs, he has produced the astounding total of 14 goals and 11 assists, for a paltry 25 points in 38 games - not exactly "merging superstar" numbers! Then again, little Phil's BEST season ever was 60 points, so who the hell is surprised (apart from Brian Burke and a couple of gullible Leaf-lovers!)?

And... two other Leaf "stars":

"Captain" Dion Phaneuf (a Calgary castoff) is 436th in the league with a pathetic one goal and 6 assists, for a grand total of 7 pitiful points in 22 games. Yeah, he's a defenceman, but guess what? So is the great Nick Lidstrom, who at 40 years of age is still way better than Phaneuf! "Captain" Dion, by the way, is a minus five.

And look at the bloated salaries this season for these non-performing assets;

* “The Invisible Man” Phil Kessel, one of the softest players to ever lace up a pair of figure skates: $6.0M

* Celine Sloppy Seconds (voted most over-rated player by his peers): $7.0M

Of course I dare not post theses factual stats in the “No Truth Allowed” thread – a thread for two delusional idiots who believe their shitty team is just a player away from being a contender.

man why all the hate ! it's one thing to support your own team but why the obsessive vitriol towards the Leafs. I don't think anyone believes that team is a 'player away from being a contender!' You're making that sh*t up !

Asswipe,

Welcome to the hockey threads. Why don't you stick to a subject you know something about - like figure skating and curling.

It's impossible to argue with even a single word of this completely accurate post.

When I started this thread to allow members to blow of steam, I only made one rule for posting here:

Here are the rules:

1) Keep the personal attacks or insults to a minimum, by that I mean comments like 'asshole' 'ignorant' or similar major personal insults will be removed and may result in time off. Do not direct your posts at any member who is not participating in this thread. If they do not wish to post in this thread that is their decision and it should be respected.

The following comment crosses the line I set. Personal attacks and insults such as this will NOT be permitted in any thread. This has earned you a one week suspension. Next time it will be one month.

That would be a great move - the juniors already play the Leaf system of blowing leads.

Hey at least the Leafs kept it close against the Rangers Wednesday night. I mean 7-0 is only one converted touchdown, right?

Congratulations to the Leafs on holding the Rangers to only 7 goals. I guess the Leafs were so busy playing their defensive game that they couldn't bother trying to score any goals, resulting in one of the easiest shutouts an NHL goalie will EVER record!

Is the entire Leafs coaching staff still on Christmas holiday or something? Does Wilson even bother with X's and O's anymore??? Perhaps part of the Leafs Kessel deal was to give away 1st round picks that could be 1st or 2nd overall.

I was all for the trade when Burke made it, then i wasn't sure anymore. But it's looking more & more like Tyler Seguin will be a huge bust. So i'll keep an open mind & will make my opinion of the trade known 3 years from now.

 

[gohabsgo]

But it's looking more & more like Tyler Seguin will be a huge bust. .

You wish.

If anyone is a bust its Kadri, who btw, is a year older than Seguin who is still only 18, and can't make a lousy Leafs team.

Seguin, on the other hand, plays on a contending team with depth up front.

Seguin doesn’t get as much ice time as Hall as Seguin has to play behind forwards (who all get more ice time and shifts):

• Savard
• Horton
• Campbell
• Wheeler
• Thornton
• Lucic
• Ryder
• Recchi
• Marchand
• Bergeron
• Krejci

How about that Lars Eller, eh?

44 games played
3 goals
4 assists

Wow! Trading the great Jaroslav Halak for this stiff was really worth it!! Great trade, Zombie Gauthier! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

yet another moronic comment

This is Ellers first full season in the NHL and, like Seguin, plays on a team with depth up front.

Halak
17 wins,
goals against average: 2.54
save percentage : 910%


Price
24 wins,
goals against average: 2.31
save percentage : 922%
