Yes. It is. You're a bad person like I am because I enjoyed the hell out of it too.

I apologise for not reading all 24 pages of this thread, but I have to vent.  I thought Tyler Bozak was just plain terrible yesterday.  Yes, he scored and seems to be the only Leaf that can succeed in the shootout, but his 4 on 4 shift against Hodgson in the second period, where there Sabres tied to the score at 3, was just about the worst shift I've seen.  Phaneuf shares some blame for that as well, but not only was Bozak simply incapable of handling Cody Hodgson on that shift, but appeared completely disinterested in doing so.

I think Bozak is a decent and, at times, productive player.  He was completely exposed (not in the Jiri Tlusty way) last night as simply not a front-line player.

It's nice to have the point, and to come out of back-to-back games with 3/4 points, but that was a pretty disappointing loss.  That game was entirely winnable.  Really felt Lupul's absence.

Yeah. I heard someone on the radio this morning saying the emergence of Kadri allows the Leafs to move Bozak and I think I agree.

Honest question: How many hands would you need to count the goalies on the planet you would trade Kadri straight up for?

I know this was posted on a much earlier page, but I had to come back to this because it really got me thinking.  That said, my answer would be one hand.

Goalies I'd trade Kadri for straight up without much hesitation: Price, Rask, Quick and Lundqvist.

Probably would be Rinne, and a huge maybe would be Miller.

One would be my answer too (probably those same guys.) - I was just remembering the Luongo trade rumors and thought I'd present the question.

I think the Leafs have expressed more interest in Kipper of the Flames than Luongo of the retirement contract

So...are we OK with Colton Orr punching the hell out of Kaleta?

one of the night's highlights for me. I can't stand that Kaleta, with kinda the same degree to which I hated Samuelson. And Cooke. And Kasparaitus. And various other goons. Not quite Sean Avery territory, but close.....
