Leaf Rumours

I dunno... that big 30 g 60 pt season he posted looks pretty good, but first, i'm not sure that is outside of colborne's capabilities. over steckel's first two ahl seasons, during which he was already older than colborne is today, he had just ~50 points in ~140 games. so colborne is a bit ahead of the curve to this point.

but second, i think that the 30 g 60 pt year was entirely a function of playing on a stacked team. it was undoubtedly an impressive season and given his size and faceoff abilities proved that he is capable of holding down a job in the big leagues.

but he was only 7th amongst bears forwards in ppg average. that was a stacked team.

Fair enough.

But like you said, unless Colborne develops elite faceoff skills he is not going to be an NHL player if he's anything like Steckel.

Antropov was a near 70 point player while playing on reconstructed knees* and having his development severely ****ed with as a teenager by the surgery and shuttling back and forth between the bottom lines of the Leafs and St. John's.

If he had ever managed to have stayed healthy for a consistent stretch and was brought along more slowly I think that the Leafs could have conceivably had a Malkin-lite type player on their hands.

Edit: *knees, not needs.

Eek that is what I have been saying since the day I laid eyes on him.

As I said earlier today, TOR is trying to see if they can open at home on the 19th. They're working w/ NLL's Rock about them playing earlier
 
Luongo for??? I am not going to say, only that it is going to take Zeke at his best, to convince me that it was worth it. But the mystery of why take another Gardiner in Rielly instead of a forward may be quite apparent soon.

Yeah, I heard earlier the Rock told them to take a hike. Not sure how they trump the Leafs but whatever.

Yeah...how the **** someone doesn't step in and sort that shit out is beyond me. How a 16 dollar lacrosse team gets to tell a billion dollar hockey team anything aside from "thanks for the nice arena to play in sirs" is ****ing beyond me.
 
Speculation that it'll be 19th vs the Habs and 21st in Boston. Greaaaaat. Sure hope our struggles vs Boston don't continue.
 
The reports are that teams will play 2 teams in their division 5 times each for 10 games then 3 each for the others...

There can be an unbalance there that may not be fair. Say the top two teams in our division are Boston followed by Ottawa. What if the leafs draw playing them 10 times and as opposed to Montreal or Buffalo. There could be some teams that get jobbed in this schedule
 
I posted about this earlier, but it's probably going to be:

4 games vs. Boston
4 games vs. Buffalo

5 games vs. Montreal
5 games vs. Ottawa

3 games vs. each of the other 10 teams.

I guess the Leafs weren't able to work things out with the Rock... As many have reported, Leafs open up in Montreal Jan 19th
