Imagine that Seguin and Croutier, Burke must be kicking himself right now!!!
There was once a license plate in Toronto that abbreviated "Go Leafs" it read "Golfs". |

I don't think its a case of having too much tied up on your defense, its just a case of who you're spending it on.
- Phaneuf: 6.5
- Komisarek: 4.5
- Kaberle: 4.25
- Beauchemin - 3.8
- Schenn - .875 (+bonus)
- Lebda - 1.45
- Gunnarson - .800
That works out to roughly 20M for your entire back end. You have to think that Kaberle is off the books next year, but Schenn will be RFA and will probably sign for ~2M/year on a 2 or 3 year deal - so your top 6 will be 18-19M next year.
18-22M is roughly where most teams fall for spending on defense. VAN spends 23M, but I think they have amassed one of the best defensive groups in the league (no doubt some will argue that).
So, the Leafs are spending the right amount of money - perhaps just not on the right group. We'll see what they do over the summer, once the Kaberle deal is up and they have some room to sign players.
That's a good point. I guess they don't have too much tied up in the d totally but I do think they've allocated it to the wrong players which is a huge problem. |

After watching my leafs last night, i would dare say that if they play the exact same way tonight, Ovie. will have a chance to tie Sittler`s 6 goals in one game record.( maybe 10 points too )
Imagine what irony that would be, all-time great leaf record tied or broken against the leafs.
I know the leafs aren`t Detroit but i don`t think Ron ( moron ) Wilson is helping matters either. Only approx. 10 games in an already Versteeg has play on the 1st , 2nd , and 3rd lines....oh my god what is he trying to do.
Phil kessel was scoring in bunches so i guess he had to split up Kessel and Versteeg...good plan Ron...Newsflash...Like it or not Versteeg is as close as you got to a first line player. Wilson`s plan, oh lets put Versteeg on the 3rd line with 2 lumberjacks to get him going....( now he will score for sure )... and insert into our 1st line an AHL player who couldn`t make the starting roster !!! What a genius.....
Zigomanis looks great ( lots of experience too ), 4th line is clicking, Orr even has 2 goals....what to do ?? i know i`ll send Ziggy to the AHL and bring up Hanson, he played college hockey...how can i go wrong ??
Wilson thinking...tic-toc...tic-toc...tic...toc...Can`t play Lebda...he played in Detroit...he knows too much about hockey...have to sit him out...can`t have him teaching our defenseman Detroit`s ways of defense, that hasn`t worked before....
Have to demote Sjostrom to the 4th line, our PK isn`t 30th in the league yet...maybe he will get pissed off and not kill penalities good anymore...yeah |

I don't think the Duke is off the bandwagon . . . as a Leaf fan, you are always 100% on the wagon. Tied to the wagon, actually, with no chance of getting off. Even if the horses go crazy and you go on a wild and crazy ride!
Which is where the Leafs are now - a bit of an up and down time for them, as they try hard to break out of this losing streak. What a fantastic game to watch, btw, as both teams traded end to end rushes, had tons of eciting plays, and great saves. It was a pity that I could only catch the third period, o/t and shootout.
It was a character s/o loss, and the Leafers can hold their heads high. Now it's time to win.
I predict a huge win against Buffalo on Sat night. Lots of goals from the Leafers.

| Depending on Miller, if he plays or not, it could be a real lopsided win for the Leafs. Buffalo has pretty much little left as far as the offence is concerned, with only Roy, Vanek and the odd Stafford goal, not much left in the cupboards. |

| Gotta give the Leafs credit, they don't seem to quit. I haven't seen a lot of games, but when i see scores online or on the "ticker" and they're constantly trailing, then are right back in it, it tells me something. These guys don't seem to go away easily. |
