Game 59 Sat Feb 18/2012 Leafs at Canucks 7 pm CBC, am640

Honestly, Burke gave 5.4 million dollars to a guy who played half a season.

I think he's had worse signings than the Reimer one. That was a good deal if Reimer can play anywhere near where he was last year.

I think he is talking about Kessel and his cap hit and not Reimer and his 3 yr total which is ridiculous.  Kessel is the last guy you point a finger at.

Don't think so. Half a season would be Reimer.

Its Reimer.

What do we have in this team?  It's clear they have no chance against the top teams in the league.  If they do make the playoffs, which is doubtful, they will be swept in the first round.  They don't have elite young talent which will be upper echelon in a few years.  More middling rubbish, it seems to me.

Mr. Kessel, 24 years of age, is 3rd in the league in scoring.

The only question I have in the signing is exactly the guy played half a year but 1.8 million per year for what could be your #1 goalie is nothing. Now if you want to talk about bad signings how about Komi, Beauchemin, Armstrong and Connolly. desperate overpayment signings.

 

[TML fan]

F--- this game.

Shockingly, the Leafs aren't as good as the Canucks right now. Who knew? Oh, right, just about everyone.

 

[Propellertop]

Tough game playing one of the Stanley Cup favourites on their own ice..... 3-0.

 

[lc9]

Just disgusting defense. 

 

[azzurri63]

F**k Wilson is a moron. I know the Canucks have the last change but I told you the Kessel line shouldn't be out there fire vs fire. -3 for that trio already tonight. What the hell does he see from behind the bench. Best seat in the house and he's oblivious to what's going on. Timeout make me laugh. He'll call one when we get behind by 4 or 5.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Reimer needs to be yanked, he's out of position on almost every shot.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

I am going to do something else.  F. this S.

Kessel thinks you might want to stick around.

 

[Propellertop]

Well... 3-1. Lupul helped out on that but maybe it'll give us a little momentum!

 

[TheMightyOdin]

I am going to do something else.  F. this S. 

I was two seconds away from leaving... And they score..... And I'm still here.

 

[azzurri63]

Amazing what happens when Dion hits the net. No windup. Amazing.

He's a nice piece, but he's not the player who leads you to a Championship.  Sorry, we need more than Kessel.

 

[bustaheims]

Keep going to the net hard. Luongo gets thrown off his game when teams keep doing that to him.
