Isles beat Pens.

Leafs lose.

Stay calm and tank on.

I was impressed by Michael Catenacci, surprised he hasn't been drafted. Small package but tons of heart, a real firestorm on the ice, and good with the puck around the net....very patient. Also you could see his rallying effect on the team, a true captain. Would be a great late pick I think, if everyone else passes him by again.

Hmm, small, undrafted Kitchener Rangers forward.  Az it is, I feel like I've heard of someone like that before....

So what, the bottom line is nothing ventured, nothing gained. Why is it we have no problem signing US college players who have the same (if not higher) risk?

It was just a shot at the great Justin Azevedo, who was a big topic of discussion around here when he was drafted.

He was just named AHL player of the week....can't be all bad.

For a sixth round pick, you can't go wrong really, even for a career AHLer.

Washington wins, a little pressure on the Sens.

 

[Fanatic]

Minny has tied it up with Florida in 3rd.

 

[Fanatic]

Minny now tied it at 2. Going to OT. Nice.

 

[Fanatic]

Wild score :15 into overtime and win!!

 

[leafplasma]

Unreal, Minny ties it up with 31 seconds to play and wins it 15 seconds into OT

 

[Deebo]

1 point out of 4th last and the wild have a game in hand.

Tonight's loss clinched a bottom 10 finish.

So Grigorenko bound, just maybe?  I'd be ok with a Mikhail-Mikhail #1/#2 center option down the line.

 

[Kaberle15]

only team with 78 games in the bottom 10 of the league... holding 5th overall.

Now Miller can steal a couple of games...

Leafs last game of the year in Montreal will be a battle for the #3
overall pick. Start the Monster!!!! 

 

[Deebo]

Tonight they put in the kind of effort you need if you want to lose games, they didn't suck for 20 or 40 minutes like they did against new jersey and the rangers, they sucked for the whole 60 tonight and got a convincing loss.

No offense to Ryan Miller, but I don't think there is a goaltender in the league who is capable of stealing games when he is going to face maybe 30 shots in the two games.

Yeah, when you're playing the Leafs it's less stealing games than it is graciously accepting them.

Needless to say, the next 8 days are crucial to the future of this team. Man, a top 5 pick would be so nice. Please Leafs, continue to suck.

That's a little overdramatic. I don't think there's a consensus about there being some sort of huge drop-off from the #5 pick to #6 or #7.

And on that note, it looks as though Rynnas will start again Saturday.  I hope for his sake the Leafs lose 1-0.

 

[Fanatic]

4 games left I think... if i recall correctly from this morning.

home and away with the Sabres - should be easy to lose both of these given the Sabres motivation and Miller's recent svpct

at home to TBL - Leafs cannot win at home

Finish the year on the road against the Habs - this one concerns me - players will have every reason to want to end on a high note and yet the winner of this game will likely be the loser.

Okay, so where do you think the drop-off is?
