Leaf Rumours

Like I said from the begining. We can debate all day about what a "fulltime starter" is. But it is off point and makes literally no difference to the main argument/point.

Halak being a midget hasn't prevented him from being a good NHL goalie. Career .918. Being a midget doesn't stop him from stopping pucks at a very high rate. Good goalies, are good goalies, and there are a bunch that are midgets. Including some of the best.

According to Cox this morning, Phil Kessel isn't fitting in Toronto and needs to be traded by the deadline.:facepalm

I can't even tell you how angry this article made me...

At least when Kessel was acquired it could be imagined that one day he would be an untouchable. But it hasn’t happened, and worse, in the early days of the shortened 2012-13 season it appears he may be poised to struggle through his most difficult season in a Leaf uniform yet.

HOW THE **** DO YOU GET THIS AFTER 5 GAMES? How??

Kessel appears ill-conditioned, isolated, troubled or simply massively unlucky, or some combination of those.

Whatever the case, it is becoming difficult to imagine a scenario in which Kessel remains a Leaf beyond the end of this season
...

The kind of deal the Leafs should be looking for will be similar to that made by Columbus at last year’s deadline when Jeff Carter, then 27, was moved to the L.A. Kings for 25-year-old defenceman Jack Johnson and a first-round pick.

You don't remember when Price was a cocaine addict who impregnated a 14 year old girl? Or the Kostitsyns having mafia ties?

Yeah, I suppose they have the tabloid-esque aspect we don't.

But remarkable how little attention their joke of a Gomez deal actually gets from the mainstream hockey media. No one seems to dwell on that. Even when they bought out Gomez, I don't think we heard about the trade.

No other market has a bunch of trolls for beat reporters. People who say the media isn't harsher on the Leafs than any other team are morons.

Montreal media is pretty bad with the french thing, etc...but outside of that there isn't much to compare it to.

I dont read much 'local' hab stuff (and im guessing a lot of it is in french anyway) but Gomez seemed 'liked' by the media for some reason.
That trade was so bad it became laughable.

If people want to say Montreal is comparable, that's fine - the rest of the league... I have their beat reporters on twitter and they are bonafide cheerleaders.

The people that I think are morons actually believe the opposite - that the mainstream media actually pumps the Leafs' tires. I question their sanity.

Living in Edmonton. For sure that is they way they are here (on radio, etc).

I just find them so painful uneducated that it is hard to take them serious.

Dan Tencer tweets about the Oilers like any diehard fan would. I always find it startling. Surely there's some middle ground between Cox and that. As a Habs fan living in Edmonton, how do you not totally despise the Oilers? Think I'd go nuts. Especially right now.
