Speaking of that Leafs captain,I came across this yesterday

ognikehead85 · Mar 3, 2015

This season needs to just end already. I was just thinking if Leafs end up with McDavid how quick the media will turn on him once he has a couple bad games and a over a dozen bad rookie mistakes. I'm hoping for a change for once from the front office to the players but who am I kidding it's the Leafs

I hate the leafs more than any entity on the planet earth but Kessel is 1000% right.

The abuse both him and Kessel take is insane, I have listen to this horse **** everyday, no one put a gun to your head and made you sign Phaneuf to that deal. :lol

Phaneuf is a fine durable defensman who plays a ton of minutes and has a big shot it's nto his fault you are asking him to play like and elite number 1. Kessel hasn't played with a real number 1 center in his entire maple leafs career, how many goals you think Kessel would score with a guy like Backstrom?

Leafs fans are weird, why are you mad at the guys on your team who actually HAVE talent? :lol

I completely agree with everything you said and never understood some of my fellow Leafs fans when they hate on the players with basically most talent on the team. Also I could only dream if we actually had a real number 1 center to play along Kessel and what he could actually do with some good talent around him for once. Hopefully things change soon within the team and maybe we can get our hands on a generational talent like McDavid to join the circus we call the Toronto Maple Leafs even though most would hate to see that happen.

damn you, TSN

TSN had cameras at a Flames practice. Wideman got called over on the ice and it seemed as though he'd been traded. Hartley had called him over and put his arm around him. He got one of the staff to give him a phone so it seemed like he was getting a call from his agent.

Turns out Harley was just talking about the Philly game. Wideman saw the TSN staff rushing around so he decided to have fun with it.

The video is TSN interviewing him about the prank. TSN then goes on to say that the joke of how serious they take Deadline Day isn't lost on them... as EIGHT people sit as a desk with phones for 6 hours talking about, and sometimes creating rumors of their own.

A real #1 center to play with a star winger? I know this answer, trade him before it's too late

It appears Dion has had phanuef of this nonesense.

http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/712076

On behalf of our clients Dion Phaneuf, his wife Elisha Cuthbert and Joffrey Lupul, we have sent a letter to TSN demanding that TSN issue a formal apology and pay a significant amount of damages to each of our clients for broadcasting a false and defamatory tweet during their trade deadline show yesterday. We are sending a similar letter to the author of the tweet, Mr. Anthony Adragna.

It is bad enough that there are people who spend their time using social media to publish such false and malicious stories, but it is made much worse when a reputable media outlet like TSN gives broad circulation and credibility to these false stories by republishing them as TSN did.

If TSN and Mr. Adragna do not immediately comply with the demands set out in our letters, we have instructions from our clients to immediately commence a lawsuit against them.

Our clients will not be discussing this matter with the media. Any questions should be directed to the undersigned

Sucks for Gio

Had him firmlyyy in the running for Norris

iriesupreme · Mar 3, 2015

Hammond

Keeping the sens in this game , and their playoff hopes alive.

Time to move on from lehner , he's had enough time to prove himself but he's just not that goalie that he was expected to be.

Hammonds gotta small sample size but he might be the future for us.

I swear to god Stars give up the most empty net goals in the last minute... good win against the Isles tonight tho

Just read that both luongo and Montoya were injured in the game :eek

and had to sign the goalie coach in game to be an emergency backup :lol

but Lu was able to come back and finish the game. Apparently plan C was having a skater put on some pads

I know guys getting hurt in pregame and having to sign a random dude to an emergency one night deal happens, but has a skater been put in goal cause of freak injuries? I feel like it happened about 6-8 years ago but I can't remember

i got a random question. i think its @ChampCruThik neck of the wood if i'm not mistaken, but what are some good bars by the prudential center.

i got a little vacation that just so conveniently happened to be during the same week the kings are playing the devils, rangers, and islanders so ima go to all 3 games

i got my pregame spots in the city, but curious if its any place worth checking out by the prudential center, i've been to a few nets games in the past up there but i never checked out anything else in newark aside from some sneaker and hat spots.
