[Official] Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball thread

Sanchez looked real good yesterday. Not sure why they waited so long to bring him in -
I did not know this, but after looking it up, it looks correct. Interesting concept, because if your team really tanks, you won't get the first overall pick. I like it, and it makes sense. Just think, we could have actually had Buffalo vs Edmonton game for the McDavid sweepstakes! Or maybe even Toronto vs Arizona.

Burrows is still gold. This year when the game is almost over and we tie it up last moment...you just watch....Burrows for the win! I've seen it so many times now, how quickly you all forget. I hope they put him on the PP more this year...with Bo The results could will be dangerous

Wow, that seems like ages ago. The good old "Mattress Line".

BUF initiate compliance buy out on Ehrhoff
gizmo2337 replied to Mackcanuck's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Having a hard time believing nobody would trade for him. Wouldn't be surprised if he is offered more than 4M on a shorter term. I suppose its the length of deal that nobody wants. -
[Rumor] VAN Trade in Place for 1st Overall?
gizmo2337 replied to Strombone1's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Don't mind if we overpay a bit, as long as we trade down with buffalo and get something back. -
[rumor] benning wants reinhart
gizmo2337 replied to GM PLACE ROCKS's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
3 moves I'd like to see: Kesler+ to Detroit for Mantha Tanev+6th+ for 1st, draft Reinhart Recall Corrado New young core with size and skill: Mantha Horvat Reinhart Shinkurak Gaunce Kassian/Jensen I like Tanev and Kesler, but that's what we have to trade that's worth anything. Schroeder, Hansen or Higgins could be expendable, or not really fitting with the core long term. -
[Report] Canucks wont ask Alex Edler to waive NTC
gizmo2337 replied to AriGold's topic in Canucks Talk
Our D has way more potential than last years stats show. An awful power play tuned up with a new coach would do wonders. When I look at our D-pairs, we have pairs that seem good on paper, just don't work in practice. We need a big RW-D. Garrison doesn't play well on the right any more than Edler does. I wanted to punch the coaches in the face for repeatedly trying. It doesn't work, lesson learned, move on! Tanev+6th+36th for Ekblad. I like Tanev a lot, but I think we do that deal if it's available. -
[Report] Torts wanted to buy out Alex Burrows
gizmo2337 replied to hockeyville88's topic in Canucks Talk
So we brought in the wrong coach. He did well with the media, but not the team. The new system brought far more injuries to our top lines and they all suffered in production. That doesn't mean we buy them out..they just had a bad year. A rebound is surely coming next year no matter who they hire. Important question to ask yourself regardless of if you are a Torts supporter or not. A) Was he a good coach with respect to Vancouver Media? Was he a good "hockey" coach behind closed doors with his players during practices and games? My vote is A) yes, no. And that is why Burrows is still here and Torts is gone. -
Jason Garrison potential buyout candidate
gizmo2337 replied to missioncanucksfan's topic in Canucks Talk
Garrison has been fine. I dont like him playing on the right though. He will be much improved if we find the right partner for him so he can play left. Although the %odds are low... Ekblad comes to mind -
It could be worse, Booth could have a season ending injury ;P
-
Burrows is not the problem. Our first line has been injured most of the year. Eat your words next year...he will be back in fine form soon. Impatient people are impatient.

The players, picks I'd like to see are from PIT, DET: Maatta, Mantha, two 2015 1st++ for Kesler, Edler++? There must be a way to work it for each teams needs and fit under the cap? It's not as easy as it sounds.. Kesler + Stanton for Maatta + Sutter + Pyatt (cap dump) 2015 1st? Then flip Edler + Sutter for Mantha + 2015 1st + Franzen? I like the idea of Horvat, Mantha, Maatta + three 1st picks in 2015 to at least try for McDavid. That sounds like the start of a new core. Not sure how we get there yet.
-
And if lack should turn out well...I'm pretty sure we have a third one waiting. They need that mentoring though.
-
We are developing goalies because we have a consistent leader in goal who plays well. Sneaking up on the all time wins list. Dont forget who is mentoring...or you end up like the coilers with talent..but no mentors. We are lucky that way.
-
I think the talent is there. We are looking at a team FULL of under performing players. Part coaching, part effort, part attitude. Our power play is useless for a few reasons. We need to move the puck...quickly...tape to tape and get players moving. Instead we see hank holding it on the boards looking for a lane that isn't there. Move the puck quick. Get garrison off the right side. Dont put edler on the right either. They both stay left and not on the same line. That experiment failed last year. Since we have a talented righty for pp time, freaking give corrado the minutes on the right...or tanev. Give them a chance to develop vs playing someone on the off side. More fore check. Too slow, not enough energy, more puck control and forcing turnovers. Finally...please collapse on the net and create panic! Pucks to the crest worries nobody. Where's the heart and pride?

Luongo quietly sneaking up on Tom Barrasso for all time wins. Just a few more games...
-
For some reason, our team makes me think of that Anger Management Scene "You have to DUNK that !!@!*". Yeah...put it in the NET boys!
-
Our team makes every goalie look like a hot goalie. This is the problem. Please come around and rack up some garbage goals and get some confidence. The confidence can't get much lower than this.
