The Leafs look like a team with puck support, what is going on.

Roman Polak sucks :siren:

Is this where I point out that the Leafs got rid of actual decent roster players in the process of acquiring Clarkson and Polak? Forget Carlyle, how is Nonis not fired yet?

Man, between the game against Boston and this one Johan Franzen just looks done. He's basically in old-man-Recchi mode now.

Yeesh, that's a hard luck play.

You are, uh, blaming him on the play where he gets knocked down by Gardiner?

He did this in the last GDT too, I think it's just one of those long-held opinion things.

I think it was a missed poke check, Zetterberg's twisting the puck away as he goes out and then he catches Gardiner and they both go down. Pretty brutal.

Matt Frattin is currently wearing a look of deepest concern while silently fist-pumping in the press box.

I just love how Nonis can shamelessly talk about how he's downgrading his roster players and present it as a reasonable/considered thing to do.

"I think Gunnarsson will do great after his surgery, and we certainly played him 25+ minutes a night in the 2D slot. We think Polak will add the sandpaper we're looking for as the 4/5D"

"We just bought out the guy who we clearly think is our second-best center and might actually be our best center. I don't care if David Clarkson scores goals."

Uuuuugh. And to think this game started pretty well.

Also Nyquist is shooting like 40% on the year.

Good job Kadri, now you're going to get stapled to the bench.

These are definitely the Leafs I know and am largely ambivalent towards.

The replay of him coasting in was pretty damning, yeah. Front row seats to Nyquist's nameplate.

Nonis is in Edmonton? C'mooooon Petry trade.

Stop right there Cox. No need to bring Reimer into this, Edmonton needs a center and the Leafs have a shiny Tyler Bozak.

*Goalie has no stick, is down early to cover fivehole and will have difficulty directing pucks*

*Clarkson backhands the puck high glove*

Holland is sloooooowly extinguishing the hope I had for him being a decent top 9 centre.

C'monnn Edmonton for the double-toss!

Next one's going to be wrapped around a brick and fired at Polak. Or Carlyle.

Comedy option: Robidas and it breaks his leg again.

Detroit announcers have been going on for 5 minutes about the jersey on the ice.

I'm actually kind of sad I'm missing this.

Just noticed the thread title :dance:

Also, what the gently caress, Polak almost scored? Not out of the doghouse yet, Polak.

I bag on the guy a lot but mostly because of the cost of acquiring him. He's obviously a better dman than, say, Tim Gleason or Ryan O'Byrne. Which is probably just damning with faint praise.

-edit- Forgot about Mark Fraser, that guy sucked too.
