Leaf Rumours

I like him to a fair extent,there is no arguing he has ability, but if we had chosen Forsberg there wouldn't be the baited breath of Nonis fawning all over Edmonton in an attempt to snag Monahan. Who incidentally is the best friend of my partners brother. I have not met the lad yet, and as much as i would love to have him, no guarantee he is even going to be there at seven. Hopefully Nonis waits until the sixth picks is drawn at least before trading Bobby Orr lite.

Part of me missed this.

know what's funny?

Forsberg: 6'1" - 6'1.5", 186-193lbs
M.Rielly: 6'0" - 6'1", 205-205lbs

agreed with most of that until the end there.

I even agree that Jake's play makes me question whether Rielly will be better than him, but no chance I'd rather have Forsberg.

And Frattin and Kadri were pretty dang good in the playoffs, when they were finally given a chance.

But you're even right that Steckel would have been nice faceoff depth to have after Bozak went out. He'd have been a better fill in than colborne.

As lacking as we were in the faceoff department, and how in the end, that played a big role in our colossal collapse ... in hindsight, it might have been better to call up Zigomanis than Colborne.
 
The Bruins kill everyone in faceoffs though.

The Leafs were an average faceoff team in the regular season, they just happened to play the best team by a long shot.
 
Teeds will love Rielly. He doesn't know it yet, but he will.

btw, teeds 2.0 is excellent thus far.

Should be an interesting period around the draft, lots of good players in this draft and there should be a lot to talk about. I personally wish we had taken Forsberg, always will.

Right up until you realize how much better Rielly is than Forsberg that is..

Rielly is another small guy, on a team of small guys, and while Forsberg is not huge, he is reasonably sized, and has the heart of an Alfredsson.

Rielly: 6'0 205
Forsberg: 6'0 186

But I guess if Gardiner brings us a future number one center, we can always offer our opinion that at least we have Rielly in the wings. But I think Gardiner has that extra something that Rielly does not have. Just my opinion, and I know it grates all those Leafies that wear Leaf underwear.

Both are going to be ridiculously good. I don't see the point (or accuracy) in diminishing the talent of the one to pump the tires of the other.
 
Rielly is the type of fitness fanatic, all world skating, high IQ player that Teeds would usually jerk himself silly over. Sadly the "Filip Forsberg" incident has him covering his tracks instead of accepting the truth of the matter.
 
Burke was fired for a myriad of reasons, being totally belligerent, obnoxious are two of the reasons, but signing Wilson after he was being pressured to fire him for an extra term was pretty over the top as well.

Of course out of not wanting to be dragged in www.ditchpig.com etc... this is MY opinion and its for entertainment purposes only, we seek safe harbour.

Back to Rielly, I have watched him extensively. He has one knee and like Antropov, I don't think he is going to take good care of it, he will keep playing through pain, and be a four to five year player in the bigs.

Forsberg will soon make all of you say, wow, organicsteroid, yes, you did it again. 2.0 indeed. BTW went short on May 22nd, posted it on the internet as the ALL TIME STOCK MARKET TOP and so far it is. Soon to be a historic and apocalyptic call. And my recent stock went from 1.35 to 26.65. Its been awesome being away from here, but I missed, well, just about everything about you guys. And this love and appreciation feels weird, can someone throw some mud my way?

I still wish you were dead my lord.
 
Organicsteroid is Teeds? Coherent sentences, logical thoughts, no crazy claims? Clearly this is somebody saying he is Teeds to get attention or Teeds is back on medication?

Sorry, trying to catch up here.

It's like Charlie Sheen pre and post binge party guy. Same general ideas and communication forays, but with a "Diet" flavour to the whole thing. :(

This. The pre-batshitcrazy teeds I can live with and welcome.

The old man sitting in his apartment pretending to be an NHL insider on a fan forum deserves the negativity.
 
Thought i'd pass this along for what it's worth ( which might be nil)

The hawk writer I follow suggested this Leaf/Lightning rumor

LeCavalier and the 3

a collection of picks and mid card talent.
