Leaf Rumours

[hairnova]

Paul Bissonnette closed his Twitter account after his calling Kovalchuk a communist yesterday didn't go over so well.

Darn.

For serious!?

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Is that really the first time he's heard it? You should hear what some Canadian fans shout at the Russian junior kids when the tournament is hosted here. There's no love lost between our two countries when hockey is involved that's for sure. And Commie is a pretty common refrain.

Yes, now the world will be denied the light of his incredible wit.

it's a bit different when it's said between adults on a public website and they are in the same players union.

He also makes Anders Eriksson look like Adam Foote in his own end

That is true, and that's why he was traded.

But, if we actually have slots available on our top 6, he's not a bad 23 to take on and try to develop. afterall, defense is something that can be taught, but not offense if you don't have the raw skills.

But you're right, he's very questionable in his own zone and his decision making is inconsistent at best

 

[Hoss]

Ek has it that the Rangers are looking to trade Gaborik so that they can get in on the Kovulchuk game again, and that LA and the Leafs are interested.

Gaborik was LIGHTS OUT last year.

He also has it that maybe Kovy goes for a high amount short term deal... and that (you guessed it) the leafs would do something like 9 million for three years.

Just reporting it.

I could see the Rangers wanting in and looking to dump a salary. They can try Drury and Redden all they want but Gaborik is pretty damn good.

 

[Montana]

It's a shame he has no credibility, because both of those scenarios sound fantastic.

How do the Rangers get better by replacing Gaborik with Kovalchuk?

Kovalchuk is more durable which is a big plus, but beyond that, they're very similar players, with very similar production.

The Rangers should be after Savard.

trading gaborik makes no sense.

:smilielol5:

OT: BNGB we were visiting some family in Aurora... and they closed the CUE ZONE!! The development beyond Bayview is also pretty intense.

 

[blkngldbabe]

O/T (BG) I bought a house just off of Bayview north of Wellington and that is an understatement. THere are a few decent pool halls up in Newmarket but nada in Aurora. Where are you at these days?

Still think we should have a get together ALA Floyd style this season. Kick it off right and such.

Where would these be? Sharx? :lol

guaranteed babe wields a mean stick.

 

[Metalleaf]

I heard they're closing Bayview Mall

 

[MindzEye]

guaranteed babe wields a mean stick.

That scares me a little...knowing Babe and all.

Is that from her wedding photos?

 

[Metalleaf]

Love the nose ring...

 

[JaysCyYoung]

She is married to Geddy Lee if I recall correctly, so that would make a lot of sense.

 

[ForeverTML]

so hot.
