We won't make the playoffs. But I do feel confident we will leap over some teams. They'll be teams ahead of the Leafs blowing up their team by the deadline.

The funny thing is the leafs should be a lot better then where they are in the standings
They have argubably the best 2nd line in the league (kulemin-grabo-mccarthur)
They have a legit sniper in Kessel
They have tons of foot soliders (Brown, Brent, Orr, Armstrong)
They have an elite PMD in Kaberle
They have a goalie capable of stealing games (Reimer)
They're just lacking a coach with some brains, and a true #1 centre.

Laughable comment.
A top ten second line. Yes.
Legit sniper when he is on. Yes.
Foot soldiers?? Who doesn't.
Elite PMD. I love Kaberle so yes, but there are quite a few in the league. And to be fair ours doesn't have a booming shot.
Goalie. I am a big Reimer fan, but that comment is TBD.
We are a playoff quality team, yet had a brutal first half figuring out what exactly we were.

And there is consolation for being ahead of the Sens. Before the season, I bet a Sens fan a steak dinner that the Leafs would finish ahead of the Sens. Mmmmm, steak dinner.
As for the playoffs this year...no. After their great road trip they had a slim chance, but they had to be perfect the rest of the way. And then we sent Reimer back down and went on another big slide, and that's pretty much killed any chance that we have that's not in the "pipe dream" category. I think the best thing we could shoot for at this point that we do potentially have a chance at, is getting close to moving out of the bottom-10 in the NHL, or getting past Florida and Buffalo to get to 10th in the East.

And I really couldn't care less what you think of me, I happen to find you very irrelvent.

Clearly you are trying to invent one word to cover face, tits, and ass with that last one there.

I have to agree. I don't think Boston would do that deal.
How grimace? She still fat?

No, then the deal would be slanted to Boston's side again. They'd have to throw in Chara too to even it back out.
(sits back and waits for Pronger to admonish me for suggesting that Boston would ever make that trade)

Isn't that word "dick?"

Nah, I'm not sure it'd be even then. I think it might be worse for them if they include Chara.

TFB might actually get you something at the deadline...he is proving to be quite a warrior/specialist

Long term, I think his best specialty might be in recouping us a decent draft pick. He has a few very good games out of a dozen or so, not consistent enough yet. Maybe with more NHL experience, he's getting there, but who knows. All I can say is that if someone offered us a 3rd rounder for him, I'd jump at it.
