Hurricanes @ Leafs - Feb. 7th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

[Joe S.]

Can you guys help me understand the thinking of signing Mrazek and not offering a contract to Freddie at the end of last year. Was it his bad year or what? I missed the entire last year so I'm honestly asking. The money between the two is like less than a million per. Was it going all in on Campbell and going and also for a resign?

Go Leafs Go!

He was brutal all year, was injured and continued to be brutal.

That - in addition to not enough cap room.

Aren't the contracts similar? 3x3.8million for Mrazek and 4x4.2million for Anderson? I could understand if Anderson's contract was well over 5-million.

Mrazek makes 3.8, Freddie makes 4.5...that's Spezza minus 50k. We also don't know what the ask or offer was for him. Freddie may have wanted to leave..

Near miss at one end and the puck goes in our net the other way

 

[Guilt Trip]

Tough play for Brodie. Not much Mrazek could do there.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Good on Simmonds....that's a bad hit accidental or not.

 

[Bender]

How was that not a knee on knee?

 

[L K]

Good on Simmonds....that's a bad hut accidental or not.

That?s the kind of hit that should be a penalty.  It was pure knee on knee.  Not suspensionable but that should be penalized

The NHL doesn?t protect players at all

 

[Guilt Trip]

There's been a few things let go against the Canes

 

[rdowdall]

I can totally see how you are confused.  Sometimes it's not always obvious.  In this case it wasn't a knee on knee because the player who was the victim was wearing blue, and the potential offender in this case was not.

 

[ZBBM]

I dunno, I'm not really in favor of somebody going out to fight if something wasn't blatantly intentional.  I agree it should have been a penalty on Smith no matter what.

Nothing a couple of knuckles didn't fix. Good for Simmonds.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Tough shift for Brodie lol.

 

[L K]

I?m always amused at how much hooking and holding teams they have defensive reputations get away with .  We aren?t back in the 90s but reputation should let you commit infractions.

 

[L K]

Is closing your hand on the puck not a penalty in the defensive zone.  Carolina caught the dump.  Turned around and then dropped the puck

 

[Bender]

That was a cheap pick that went uncalled.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Nice play Liljegren.

 

[azzurri63]

Horrible period think most are still off on the All-Star break.

 

[L K]

Again.  Aho just couldn?t see Marner in they camouflage blue so it isn?t a penalty

 

[L K]

Oh it?s Gresham Skilliter referring the game.  It makes sense now
