Right now, it looks like the Sens made the right choice!

Dopps, any thoughts on Phaneuf getting the largest paycheck from the Sens of any dman in Saturday‘s game?

Yeah, the massive leafans circle jerk is still going strong ....... not missing a thing.

just thought i'd bump this crybaby wussy post again because every once in a while i think about it and chuckle about the bucket of tears in front of his wheelchair.

Very impressed by early season play of Leafs. Especially like the up tempo speed game. Lots of teams have fast skaters. Speed game is about moving puck between the fast skating attacking players including the D. Leafs are doing it very well.

I don't think an injury to Matthews, even if it is extended, will have significant impact on the overall season results. I predict the Leafs will come second in the Atlantic and win their first playoff round in many years. Unfortunately the playoff format will oblige them to play against Tampa in the second round.

If there is a vulnerable spot for the Leafs, it is their D and the problems they have in front of and around their own net.

I see the Leafs making one huge deal before the deadline to acquire a highly skilled Dman that can help stabilize their back end.

My wild prediction is that the Leafs will get very serious about moving a big salary (either Kadri or Nylander plus a prospect/pick combination) for Drew Doughty.

There may be a Leafs trade but it won't be for Doughty, and it won't involve Kadri.

So the Sens are sitting at at almost a -10 shot differential per game?
28 for and 38 against per game..thats insanely bad

its early but if that continues, Anderson better be the best goalie in the League

i wouldn't be shocked if they tried to tell you that he is after seeing the other poop they tried to sell in here.

this is fantastic, thank you.

I was waiting for your predictions and opinions that always fall flat and miss the mark by a billion miles

Does anyone else remember when the Leafs were tricked into drafting a center who would go on to put up 2 30 goal seasons(and counting), while being a shutdown center, who's played 500 games?


Bet they feel really silly for not drafting the guy who probably won't hit 20 goals in his career.

I probably haven't seen most of what he said but if you're referring to what he said about Matthews, then "killing it" is a completely wrong way to phrase it.

He is, he killed the Leaf thread, and Ek's thread as well.

Sens need to step it up

Just watched the "highlights" from the Sens game..wow Condon really burst. Let in a 150 footer..so leaky

He has been well below average ..nobody saw that coming...except anyone who paid attention to his well below average career numbers before the Sens signed him.

Luckily he is only the highest paid backup on the cheapest team in the League

Great night of hockey.

I agree

The 6th Sens
‏ @6thSens
Since the 2007-08 season, the Senators' worst 5v5 Corsi differential across an entire season was -447 (2017-18). The Senators are already -155 through 11 games this season.

So far I would put my money on them finishing dead last or at min bottom 3

Not a good situation

man, this seems bad for them.

i'd hate to be a really dumb fan of that team.

Update. The sens may have found a worse backup. if you can believe thats possible..but here we are

Sens Condon replacement will be Mike McKenna 35 yrs old. 24 Games in the NHL .889 save %. Done most of his time in the AHL. Prev 3 seasons .907, .901, .909 and in six games this season .914.

the sens are really trying to get the Avs that #1 pick

Holy sweet Jesus. Has Dorion forget that he either traded his first round pick away, and also chose to keep last year's 4th overall instead of give it up?

Mark Borowiecki, despite playing just 16 minutes per night, is seeing a heavier dose than usual of the opponent’s best. It is… going even worse than usual for him to the tune of a 34 percent Corsi, 10 percent worse than when he’s on the bench. The Senators have also been outscored 7-1 with him on the ice. That is brutal.

But he hits anything that moves...so PD loves him

About three years back, as my location suggests, I said in a Bobby Ryan for Clarkson deal, the send would have to add a first round pick.

This made sens fans call me names.

In retrospect, I would say Bobby Ryan and a first for david Clarkson would have been a win for the sens. Anyone else agree?
