  1. Colorados's bottom 6 looks fairly weak imo. We need to take advantage!!
  2. Win tonight and we have a chance. A loss and it's pretty much over..
  3. At the end of the day...the leafs suck
  4. Maybe that's because the Leafs as a team don't play much in the offensive zone?? They seem like they get most of their offence on the fastbreak...
  5. He has picked up his defensive play a little bit. Far from a "presence" though..
  6. They have pieces on offence and a couple on defence. They have a goalie in Bernier. The problem like someone said above is that Nonis mismanaged the cap situation.
  7. Phanuef is still a pylon and not worth that contract no way. I love Bernier though. Fierce competitor. Is Franson that bad?? I thought he was a top 3 dman??
  8. The leafs have begun their annual free fall once again. The mighty chokers are back at it. The Leafs were sitting 3rd in the East two weeks ago. After dropping 5 straight their playoff chances are quickly evaporating. Schedule doesn't get much easier with the Blues and Redwings up next. James Reimer is being made the scapegoat.(Take that Nonis LOL) I wonder how CBC feels about this. I'm looking forward to HNIC....I wonder what Glenn Healy's face will look like when the leafs choke again. Anyway how do Canucks fans feel about this? Does this take the spotlight away from our cursed season? I'm loving it!
  9. Yes they do. We need ti capitalize and win 5+ straight games atleast..
  10. He took us to the game 7 of the finals. The team hasn't had the greatest year but the future looks bright. Another year of Gillis can't hurt. He took a chance with Torts. Give the guy another year..
  11. Torres was a legitimate 3rd liner who scored big goals for us and finished his checks. Legitimately cared for Malhotra's safety Erhoff took the money Luongo wanted out too eventually. It's clear you hate the guy. Whatever..
  12. This is turning into a love fest. Didn't know Gillis had supporters. I like it.
  13. Agreed. Other than Luongo he didn't really do much. He did draft decently though..
  14. Thanks. Yeah the teams definitely got bigger and faster recently with the additions of Kassian, Mathias, and Jensen.
  15. He signed Kesler, Sedins, Hansen, Burr, and Hamhuis to bargain deals. I'm talking about their previous deals. Before the cup run. Grabner got waived by Florida too...
  16. This is just my opinion. Everyone has their own perspectives. So before you guys explode just remember that. Boy is this going to be controversial. Gillis has never really been allowed to make the moves he wants. He got hired to add pieces to a team that had it's core intact and in their primes. I believe he never got to build the team he wanted. He got forced into trading Hodgson. The Luongo saga of course didn't play out as he had anticipated. Anyway I like to look at both sides. Every general manager in the league makes mistakes. They have to take risks to succeed. Here's a look at the positives.. Took team to the finals (added key pieces in Torres, Erhoff, Malhotra, Samuelsson..) Dan Hamhuis Tanev Eddie Lack and Joackim Ericksson Dane Fox signing Signed the majority of the core to bargain deals before cup run Drafted some gems (Jensen, Horvat, Corrado, Cederholm..) Traded Luongo and that Contract (an accomplishment in it's self) I'm missing some but Gillis has done some really good things here. Yeah we have been crappy for a couple of years but Gillis has us stocked for the future. Our prospect pool has never looked better. I really believe we will be back in the playoffs next year. Our teams future is exciting. The Negatives.. Let Torres and Erhoff walk Booth Ballard Didn't get enough for goalies Garrison?? (Overpaid imo) Bad timing for Hodgson trade. Etc etc You get the good with the bad. I say give Gillis another year. Let him clean up his own mess. If we bring in another GM it's going to take him months just evaluating this team. Let Gillis see this through!
  17. After the top 10 the draft is wide open. I would prefer we packaged the pick for a legitimate top 6 forward. Not a 3rd liner with potential but a legit top forward 6!
  18. Management's a joke. I'm ashamed to be a fan of this team..
  19. Doubt they give up both. Maata is way to valuable to them after the Letang scare. I say take Bennet and force Sutter and Pouliot out of them..
