Leaf Rumours

Would you do Phaneuf for Skinner and the fifth overall??

But seriously, I wouldn't do it for skinner.

The Leafs twitter was calling a presser but it was just media Q&A. Not close on Bozak, Dion staying, not trading up etc etc

Guys please, understand GMspeak and in the in betweens. Nonis goes on radio and says he is totally satisfied with his goaltending, making me sweat a little because my sources told me was ordered to get someone who doesn't choke under pressure, or as I was quoted, an NHL fawking goaltender, and VOILA, a day or two later he trades for a YOUNG goalie.

Now Nonis says Dion is not going anywhere?

why is this, because everyone saw what pissed MLSE and Carlyle and most of the Toronto Maple Leaf dressing room. Phaneuf played a game of show me your panties with Chara to lose us the game, and unfortunately that was the end of his reign as a tough guy who came to play.

MLSE is trying desperately to trade him, desperately. But no one wants a guy making 6.5 million that tanks in the most important moment of his playoff career. Who would?

You cannot give him away obviously, but a first round pick? Not a top five pick like Carolina, not in a million years. Or he would be unpacking right now.

I await the usual gangs of New York ranting and raving that is JUST not possible, but believe you me, he cooked his Toronto Goose when he allowed Chara to screen Reimer. The whose who of MLSE blew a gasket. I mean this turd is making 6.5 M and he couldn't at least try and hack him?

Heck Patrick Kane did a way better job of handling Chara. Way better. Franson is the new Phaneuf in MLSE's eyes. And I said when we first got him he reminded me of Larry Robinson .5 or lite.

He just stood there like a pylon..At least engage so we see you're trying...and the year before, during 2nd half of the season he kept making really dumb mistakes and allowed guys easy lanes to the net(felt like watching Luke out there)....He's still worth quite a bit because he's solid on both ends..I just think people overrate him.
 
The guy was completely and utterly knackered. If you people even knew the amount of fitness that is required to even log a single 45 second shift at the NHL level he wouldn't get criticised.

Dude had nothing left in the tank. It happens. I'm more mad at Carlyle for not calling a bloody time-out during that entire sequence. Kill Boston's momentum and give your boys a quick breather.

We win that game easily if we take a time-out.
 
I do believe he was fatigued and you're right that Carlyle needed to call a timeout. It's why i kept always telling people that Kessel can't be on there all the time(those who say why is our 3rd and 4th line on so much)..These are people, not robots..so yes they get very tired..With Dion, i don't know maybe i expect too much from him. For example, on the PP, i've never seen anybody miss the net so often...He's kinda dumb imo and that takes away from him being at the very top...On that play you were saying he was too fatigued..Even though i agree, the guy is a foot or so away..As usual i bet he was watching the point and not caring who is in front(hardly the first time we saw that)..I don't expect him to knock Chara or Lulic down..but make it harder damn it.

One of the huge issues they had when Bs started putting those pucks in, was that they kept backing off..Why would you change all of a sudden? We kept pressuring them on the point, rushing at them in their own end and now we're just letting them come at us so easily? There was a whole lot of things wrong in that 10 minutes.

This is why you should be banned.

It's not even a rumor...it's not even an idea...its just lies.

This^^^^ Teeds... I'd love to see you play an all out skate your brains out shift for 3 mins (when most guys play a 25-40 secomnd shift) and not be gassed out from it. However Jays, Phaneuf should have switched up though, there was no need for him to be out there for 3 mins, guy should have communicated that to the bench.
