Booche Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 On the positive side of things for Mats, he could have gone to Les Brahs last year and got knocked out in the second round by The Toe Touchers.And Kosto got the proper suspension.

Whitey Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I agree, but I also like Wilson's idea of the offending team having to play a player short during the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Blake played like an angry little shit tonight. I wish he would do that more consistently. Although I don't like it when they use him on the penalty kill. There are more than enough guys to use (Stajan, Steen, Moore, Mayers, Antropov, White) without resorting to using Blake, but he was out there for two penalties in the first period.

Jakis Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Great game! Grabovsky now on a 6 game point streak and how about stajan? He's been great since the benching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been great since the benching.Stajan is playing awesome hockey. I think after the game against Edmonton he is the team point leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwa. Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 or Pogge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'd love to see Pogge come up here and take his beats. Sure, maybe he's not tearing up the AHL (i dunno, is he?) but maybe he needs to be playing with the pros to reach his potential, some guys are like that.

Guest Low Roller Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Good for them for getting a return on investment on Colaicovo. He needs to pass a physical first though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa. Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 for the lazy.The Toronto Maple Leafs aren't waiting for Brian Burke to come in and start making moves, as the club traded defenceman Carlo Colaiacovo and forward Alex Steen to the St. Louis Blues for forward Lee Stempniak on Monday.The trade is contingent upon all three players passing their respective physicals.Stempniak, 25, has three goals and 13 points in 14 games this season. In 233 career games with the Blues, the West Seneca, New York native has 57 goals and 130 points.In Steen and Colaiacovo, the Leafs parted ways with two former draft picks that didn't live up to their first-round billing.Colaiacovo, whose career has been limited by numerous injuries, has played in 10 games this season with the Maple Leafs, recording one assist. The blueliner is in his sixth NHL season, having played in 111 career games with 33 points.The Toronto native was originally drafted 17th overall in the 2001 Entry Draft.Steen, 24, has two goals and four points in 20 games this season. He's in his fourth NHL season, playing in 253 games and amassing 126 points. The Winnipeg native - son of former NHLer Thomas Steen - was originally drafted by Toronto in the first round, 24th overall in the 2002 Entry Draft.The move comes as the Leafs are reportedly in the process of negotiating with Burke about becoming the team's new general manager.Under current GM Cliff Fletcher, the Leafs have cut ties with 11 regulars from last year's team.

Hal Johnson Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I think this is a good trade. Carlo and Steen are both useless, and Stempniak will fit in as another small, speedy forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I agree Hal. Both the Leaf players never lived up to their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Doug MacLean had a few reservations about this trade today on The Fan. He worried that Stempniak's contract is up next year and he wondered why the trade happened before Burke steps in. I think the deal is pretty good as long as they can sign Lee.

Hal Johnson Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Honestly, Im surprised the Leafs found any takers for those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I guess, but MacLean made bad deal after bad deal in Columbus, so who cares what he thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Classic Ecklund line:I also believe this trade tells us that Burke is all but locked up in Toronto...Huh? I fail to see the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
