    Leafs haven't had any game since the Oilers series. Dropped two turds to the Shamu show at Seaworld and then played two okay games against the airplanes before dropping another stinker at the end. Bounce back game against the Sens, there may as well of been the Marlies on the ice for the first 40. I mean Hutch was bad but the team matched his effort too. Last 20 was better, but who wants to watch a team play 20 okay minutes against a bottom feeder like the Sens?

    God that contract looks like crap now. The Sharks got one okay season out of Karlsson for paying him Norris Trophy repeat winner money. I also would want him out of town ASAP.

    I think, with the assets he traded, he got caught up in getting the player for long term. It happens way to often. A GM will over pay a player to stop him from going to free agency not because it makes sense but because the cost of letting him walk, after what you paid for him in trade, is driving the contract price in the GMs head.

    Ya. Well hopefully just a rough patch. They still have the most talent in that division so they should be ok.

    It's a bad contract but I still think how he played in that playoff run with Ott (when he was still hurt) had everyone thinking that once he was totally healthy that he would be back to his former status. In my opinion, he has never looked the same since. He had a few flashes with the Sharks but never quite got to that level. Not sure why. I can only assume the injury but maybe not. Either way, bad contract, and I love the guy.

    I'm not so sure. I felt like Selanne was never the same, after his achilles injury either. I can't speak for Karlsson but my eyes tell me that he has not been the same since that injury. That or it's just coincidence (which is possible.)

    He's always taken dumb chances and made questionable decisions, at times. But his ability to carry/distribute the puck was so top notch that those silly plays were only a small price to pay. I compare him in playstyle to Letang, in cerain areas. But he was just so much better than Letang. They've both aged and dropped off, but I think that achilles really helped EK drop.

    Karlsson also had a knack for getting inside of passing lanes and knowing exactly how to win a corner battle effortlessly. He was never a big tough stay at home D but he knew how to be in the right position and either stick or leverage his way into a turnover. Since he went to the Sharks, that's disappeared.

    What? He managed 1 goal and zero assists against the worst team on the Pacific division in 2 games. It's not like he zoomed past Crosby or Malkin and made a five hole play against a good goalie.

    He scored against the Ducks that are no longer mighty.

    Malkin scored his 1100th point last night, the 3rd Pen to do so (Crosby, Lemieux) and the 3rd Russian (Ovechkin, Federov). That's some great company to be in.

    I agree. And maybe he lost a step or mentally isn't the same, because to me he has not been the same guy.

    My condolences to any/all Sabres fans out there. Death by a thousand cuts... or just six goals?

    That had to hurt.

    Thats a bullshit call on Tanev

    Tinordi fell awkwardly into the boards and hit his head but thats no way a boarding major

    I dunno man. He took like 25 strides and was completely perpendicular to him. I just don't see what the other outcome of that hit would be, aside from what happened. Vulnerable player and you come 30mph out of his line of vision and he explodes to the boards. If he came from the front, then ok.

    Regardless, tough loss but Pens were due. Pretty banged up and losing Geno and Tanev mid game hurts too. Good for the rookie for getting the win in his 1st start.

    Avs looking tough to beat. LA should get back in the W column with the Blues. Good match up. Ohh and Todd has a secret desire to make the playoffs with real champs not chum bucket losers. ..advantage South Bay over spineless teal squeal.

    I agree. When Tanev hit Tinordi he was about 6 feet from the boards and was not turned toward the boards. It was a chest to chest hit that sent Tinordi into the boards. That was one physical, playoff like game.

    Avs have one big flaw... no backup goalie. Hopefully they can pick someone up or make a trade soon. I don't want to see Grub get worn out
