What do you think of this one? At the moment Jason Blake has more 3 stars of the game than any other player in the NHL this year.. |

Speaking of 3 stars. Jason Blake's problem is that he tries to be all 3 stars. He could pass around the puck a little more. Though that once it leaves his stick theres a good chance its going no where haha. I like the crazy s*** he has done this year but my god he is a terrible team player. If this guy is on the first line of any hockey team, expect them to never win the Stanley Cup or probably even make the playoffs. |

Hanley6,
I have been reading the forums quite a bit over the past year, and I must admit the obvious - a large percentage of your posts are completely ridiculous. How old are you - 10? You're trying too hard to make a legitimate post regarding the Leafs, their players and how they are a top team in the NHL.
Stop making posts regarding something you thought you heard on TV or from your playground buddies. I know you're really trying hard to find something good to post about the Leafs but wait until that actually happens!
Aside from that, I know that you are trying your best to defend the Blue and White so I'll give you that! I look forward to debating your future posts within the upcoming weeks and months. |

I think Reeder is absolutely right! He is so amazing! I wish I could make sweet love to him, and I'm not gay! Well....maybe
In the playoffs, will beats skill. |

Oh no! I did miss him . . . tied for 42nd place with 50 points. oops!
Well, at least that ties him with Heatley, Kunitz, Sellane and Hossa - and it puts him ahead of such slackers as Carter, Datsyuk, Gagne and Kane. He must be great!

I'm almost feeling bad for Hanley....almost.
I think Blake was at 41st....higher than I would have thought too, perhaps that's why you missed him Slozo...
He had 50 pts. including a 1st star, so that means at most, 2 other 3rd stars or 1, 2nd star selection...wow...dominant. |

Posted - 02/20/2009 : 05:23:34
It's true - this is the NHL's version of gamenight 3star selections, so yeah, it isn't the individual team 3 star selection totals. However, being a curious guy, I scrolled down to see who the first Leaf would be, and do you know who it was?
Vesa Toskala, tied for 61st place with 30 points with a tonne of other guys (they have him listed as 120). 
The next Leaf? Nik Antropov.
Didn't find Blake.
So, I think, Hanley, an apology is in order: it is clear to me that Vesa Toskala is the best Leaf, is clearly underrated, and everyone should recognise what a great player he is!!!

Face it, you're grasping if you can't see that, Hanley my friend.
Actually you are both wrong, NHL.com picks the three stars of the night every night and thats what that is. It is not the 3 stars of each game its the 3 over all stars of the night, so in the canucks game tonight Alex Burrows was the 3rd star, but that does not mean his third star will be put on the NHL.com list |

hanley why dont you find it to prove us wrong. everyone here is finding proof that shows you were wrong. so either admit " i heard the anouncer wrong and made a mistake" or find some reall proof to prove us wrong. your claiming to be right without any proof and frankly no one is gonna take your word for it

I didn't see a "who cares"option so i didn't vote.
Jason Blake's having a good year though, hopefully the Leafs can sucker someone into giving them a draft pick or two for him. Montreal seems to be handing those out like candy lately (Schneider bahahaha!) |

hanley i watched this game and i believe that the anouncer said was that ...... blake hadnt been in the top 3 stars once in the first 2 months of the season. now he led the team in most 3 star appearences.. Once again that was team not league
no he said Blake has the most 3 stars appearances over anyone in the league.. I hope someone finds it so you can see for yourselves |

Pasty
that's not the leaders of the most 3 stars of the game this year, that's everyone's votes for player of the week, which is stupid I mean look at all the Montreal picks for the All star break, same difference there
nope read it carefully it even shows how many 1rst star selections they have had they tabulate points for firs second and third stars and thats how they make the list you were wrong bud dont argue admitt it and move on

Let me give you one reason why Jason Blake has picked up his play. HE WANTS TO GET TRADED!!!!!. Plain and simple. He was benched for the first time in his career early this season and that did not and never will sit well with him. Everyone saw him pout and cry over that. He was and has been reported to be disconnected in dressing room. To me it is quite obvious that the only reason Blake is playing better is to make his trade stock rise. It is too bad JFJ grossly overpaid this guy so that no one could possibly want to pick him up.
I also watched the game (as I watch all leaf games) and the TSN report during the Leaf/Sabres game did state he now has the most 3 star selections on the Maple Leafs team - not the NHL. |

Ah, finally, a voice of reason arrives.
I think I heard that same "watch out in 2 years" comment 2 years ago. And 2 years before that!! Leaf fans, I am not bashing you. Really, I feel sorry for you. At least most other teams have a chance at the playoffs each year. Every 2 years, your team is"rebuilding" but always rebuilds with overpriced, overrated players. Such as Jason Blake. His $4 million cap hit is higher than the likes of Kunitz, Kozlov, Whitney, Stillman, Kostitsyn, Frolov, Cleary, Wolski, Miettinen, Holmstrom, and Eriksson.
Maybe not all of those players, but most of those guys I would put over Blake any day of the week.
And as stated above, being 3rd Star with Toronto this year is nothing to be too excited about.
from the way Blake has been performing this year. He's a better player with more heart, speed and skill and deserves a higher salary than all of those guys you mentioned
3 decent months does not make up for the fact that he has under acheived as Leaf overall. Not too many (if any) of the players I listed have been healthy scratches at really any points.
And to say that heart, speed, and skill over the likes of Kovlov, and specifically Holmstrom is more than a complete joke. Holmstrom plays more of this time getting beat on in front of the net, night after night. Dan Cleary plays with more heart that most anyone else. Frolov has twice the speed and skill as Blake.
I'm not asking for your change your choices and who you are a fan of or not, but I would appreciate a little more objectivity. It really seems like your world is viewed through Blue and White Glasses. |

not all, and just because it's about the Leafs doesn't make it a good or bad POLL not pool. Another thing if the Leafs lose all the time because they suck so bad then how can a on the Leafs have so many 3 star of the games, it's simple Blake is playing Great, Both Blake and Moore have been 2 of the best paired up on a line in the last 2 to 3 months. Another thing if you hate the Leafs that much or don't like my topics then don't bother checking them out.. Save your stress little buddy, it's ok, you'll be fine one day |

I dont think the leafs have ever actually 'rebuilt'. Even now, they havent traded for any picks or prospects....they made deals for Lee Stempniak and Brad May.
In previous years there was no talk of rebuild at all, it was augmenting the core with free agents or trades. Guys like Nolan,Leetch,Lindros,Allsion, Oneal and Peca came in to put them 'over the top'.
Im a die hard leaf fan, but this whole 'wait 2 years' thing is a joke. Even if we draft high this year and next, it is going to take years before those kids become bonifide NHL players. The leafs will be lucky to be a playoff team in 5 years. |

On any other team, Blake this year would be a decent, solid piece of the puzzle - here, because he has suddenly found his game, he's a superstar, relatively speaking. And, you must keep in mind that the 3 stars thing is pretty subjective . . . I've seen some strange picks and non-picks. It's an indicator, but not a very good one.
That being said, he's played quite well of late.

Alright so even if he has more 3 stars than anyone. You need to think that he has been one of the only bright spots for Toronto this season. So if any Toronto player on a given night gets a start it would more than likely be Blake. He has been hot as of late and scoring quite a few goals, but when you look at teams that are more consistent and in the playoff run more players are pitching in. So good for Blake, but not that great of an accomplishment in my mind. |
