FYI

Gunnarsson to the Ducks could be in the works.

peter Holland please

fuck holland

etem, silf or Palmeri

I swear this sounds like talk on HFboards. Lol literally no foundation to any of this. We're going to give up one of our best defenders (which is an area we need to improve) for more depth up front?

YEPPPPPppppp, Downie is a man possessed! shit is awesome.

[KapG]

I'm so happy roy is the coach of that team.

For those who missed Downie's wicked hit:

Good clean (and hard) hit and inevitably, the Preds got butt hurt. Only leaves his feet because of the follow through and he rolls over on Josi. Much like with some of Kronwall's big hits...the follow through is where he leaves his feet. You drive and collide into a guy and sometimes the contact will cause the hitter to leave their skates. Some will hit with their legs and 'lift off' after delivering the hit.

[Nick]

I thought it was a great read on the play as well, I'm not sure if the hit was hard as it looks, some angles suggest Josi saw it last second and began to drop?

Downie probably likes that the preds lost their shit, he shouldn't have gotten a penalty, but the refs gave Weber 2x2, so... still got the Avs a PowerPlay.


Also a BS call on fisher in this game... hits Sarch as he's trying to escape with the puck next to his goalie... falls into his own goalie as a result of the hit, however that's not fisher's fault for Sarch choosing to skate with the puck next to his goalie, he's fair to be hit. IMO.

phaneuf hit kulemin with a shot in practice. Kulemin out 2 weeks with a bone chip in his ankle.........

WTF is wrong with dion

didn't he do this to JVR last season

[KapG]

broke lupuls arm last year.

My bro and I were just talking about it. Very upset. As much as some people around here love Dion, he pisses me off a lot. So many fucking bonehead plays.

[The BBKL Insider]

people out here make fun of dion on a daily basis. I literally get trolled more about dion (by my oiler/flames friends) than i do about the leafs in general. Dion is one hated NHL player around the league and fan base lol.


ironically enough my buddy last night said "when will dion miss the net again by 10 feet and hurt another one of his own players" lol, now i dont know if he missed the net or this was done by a slap shot or hit, but fuck dion, use common sense.

phaneuf hit kulemin with a shot in practice. Kulemin out 2 weeks with a bone chip in his ankle.........

not cool. Sucks for the leafs as Kules was awesome so far, 2points, lots of hits and blocked shots, him and McClement are the forefront of our strong PK.

FWIW, blocking a shot in practice is different than being hit by a poorly aimed shot.

[The BBKL Insider]

i dont even like kulemin, but he's important to our team for what he does

solid in the corners, good PKer

[Nick]

There is the Franson I cannot stand watching..

[The BBKL Insider]

ya, close your eyes nick, you'll hate him even more

not a great start for franson in this game

[Nick]

LOL - so good game 1, very consistent game 2, not either of the above in period 1 tonight, barely a good play. Hasn't used up his karma yet though.

How about Raymond!!!! Shit he he's doing well for us.

[The BBKL Insider]

raymond is awesome, what a player


whats the rule for signing a guy? like we literally just signed him to a 1 year extention, how long does Nonis have to wait to sign him to extension?

[thom54]

hholy fuck what a forearm by Dion, wow!

[The BBKL Insider]

and the Reimer experiment ends in Toronto.

[Nick]

LOL

The dude does collapse, I don't get how he has no confidence

[The BBKL Insider]

i wasn't actually kidding, the only thing Bernier needs to do is be solid from here on out, he won us game 2, he just needs to have a solid showing here.
