pretty monumental :P

like a dagger marinated in lemon juice through the heart of all leafs fans

So much for stomping eastern canada. :lol

I understand Washington's frustration from last year now. Montreal's defence seems to block or deflect 70% of the shots taken.

We tried to win it by skill. We ended up with just perimeter shooting all night with secondary chances far between.



Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed in Samuellson so far though. Yeah he did well with the twins against LA last play-offs but that's about it. I'm not sure if I'm correct but I think I see a pretty big Kovalchuk-syndrome with this guy; basically just looking for passes to shoot but rarely has the grinding aspect in his play to generate possession or chances for his teammates.

I mean, yes he has a great shot but there's really nothing else to write home about. Hitting? Nope. Forecheck? Nope. Goalie screen? Playmaking? Backchecking/defense? Nope. I wish this guy had more to offer, more dimensions to his game.

thank god the flames pulled off this win...we needed some good scoring from the depth

Someone just needs to anger Samuelsson...

Too bad he's probably gonna be retired in 4 years.

It's like he's reverted back to his Detroit days and aims for the goalies logo every shot now. I don't really care if he rips it up during the regular season but I hope he'll still be clutch come playoff time.

He put up 30 goals last year playing 2nd line minutes, and was one of the top scorers league-wide in the playoffs....what more do you want? He's only making 2.5mil, and his previous career high was 23 goals.....if you were expecting another 30 goal season I think its safe to say you will be sadly disappointed. 20 would be a reasonable expectation.

Uhhhh. We're talking about this season not last season, genius. What people expect from 2.5 million is some effort which he clearly isn't giving at this time. When you see his line-mates Kes and Raymond hustling and going 100% every shift you notice Sammys lack of effort pretty easily.

You might want to re-read my post again, because as I recall, I was looking for more in Samuellson's game than just goals or points :rolleyes:

And for $2M, Burrows-like work ethic from a measly 20 goal scorer is what I reasonably expect. Basically what I'm alluding to is the blue-collar aspect of the game.

Bliznak recalled.

Bliznak sounds like a Snoop Dogg rhyme.

btw, anyone watching devils vs sabres?

The Crosby commercial is fake...the net moves before the puck enters the net.

lololol omg the leafs suck

Ron Wilson has got to go before they get better, when your team sucks shit and your coach looks like the biggest fucking prick in the world, and THEN he opens his mouth? lololol

i thought it was stanley cup time leaf fans? :troll:

the ilya break away shot just summarized the kind of year ilya will have.
