Game 22: Leafs @ Islanders, 7:00PM, SN, Fan 590

Has Kadri made Kessel expendable?  I'm half-serious.

Sample size.

Yeah.  That's why I'm only half-serious.  But if he keeps going ... that would be make for an opportunity to deal Kessel for someone who looks like wants it on a regular basis.

He's just having a bad couple of games, it will happen to Kadri, it will happen to most players.  I'd rather not get into things we have no idea about and can't accurately measure.  There could be a whole host of things going on we have no idea about.  I think it's like Alexander Semin sometimes - if he's not doing something great all the time, he's called out for not trying hard enough, as if commentators know how hard he is or isn't trying.

I'm not wasting my time tonight. The Leafs don't want to play.

This is I don't know how many times you've given up just as the game has started. Dude. WTF?!

Hey, if you wanna spend 2 and a half hours of your life watching garbage float around on a sheet of ice, that's your business.

Don't watch then, no need to tell everyone about it every time you don't want to watch.

Sure but I don't think that can be easily attributed to any failing on Kessel's part. As various parts of the team improve it makes other parts surplus. I don't think there's any sort of 1 to 1 correlation though.

There's no need to respond to it either. He asked me a question, I answered it.

A move (or 2) has to be made to let Frattin and Lupul to be activated.

Who will be moved ?

Komisarek (pretty please), Liles, Orr, Steckel, MacArthur ?

A rational mind would think at least one of Orr and McLaren.

You'd think, but . . . I think Liles could be traded. Rumours have a few teams looking for veteran blueliners. The other will likely be Orr, but could also be Steckel.

aaand.... you already know what the next 2 periods have in store?

You're missing the point. I don't care if they win 26-1 in the end. The 1st period was enough to tell me I'm not interested in watching the rest of the game.

Glad it didn't count, but come on Reimer cover the puck up.

I would stick to commenting on the game on internet forums. Way better than watching.

Going upstairs?  I wonder what replays look like on a 12 inch black and white tv with rabbit ears....

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Try to tell me that's not a worse hit than the 5:00 major we got last night.

 

[maplesyrup]

You're missing the point. I don't care if they win 26-1 in the end. The 1st period was enough to tell me I'm not interested in watching the rest of the game.

But you'd rather chat about not watching than simply watch or just do something else? See, if I'm THAT fed up I change the channel, log-out of here and get a rum.

 

[ZBBM]

Good point Bowen.  Last nite that WAS a 5-min major. 

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Brown got five and a game last night for less than that!   

I call 

 

[Kaberle15]

no call on the hit on Komarov ?

Why would I comment on a game I didn't watch?

That's kind of what I'm saying.  If Kadri continues to blossom as a scorer, and say Frattin too, then Kessel looks less necessary and you can look to upgrade the team's Braveheartedness.

All I did was comment on what I thought of the game to that point. That's what this board is for. You were the one who wanted to know what my deal was. I'm just answering your questions.

Kadri stickhandling is sick...
