It might be Washington's year ... they've only lost 13 games (including o/t losses) which is 7 better than the next best record ... they score freely and have by far the biggest goal difference.

A few of the usual suspects are thereabouts as well (Blackhawks, Kings, Bruins, Rangers et al) Florida have been impressive and San Jose is quietly making a bit of a run at it. Dallas & St Louis are looking good too. Pittsburgh are another team that is starting to come good (7-2-1 in their last 10)

I'm hangin' for the playoffs though - or at least the last month of the regular season.

I think Pittsburgh is the big dark horse. Crosby is on fire, Kessel has finally found a linemate who he can produce with (Hagelin), Letang is playing the best hockey of his career and Malkin is still to come back into the lineup. 

 

On another note, the Leafs finally offloaded Phaneuf by trading him to the Senators. Biggest win for the Leafs in a decade! We're currently on a West coast road trip, and have left Lupul, Bozak and Matthias in Toronto to recover from injuries, while van Riemsdyk is still on the IR. Last night's team was one of the worst lineups I have ever seen...ever. Now it looks like Kadri will be missing a few games after making a visible threat to Giordano, and Bernier set to start the next game, so things are only going to get worse. Last place, here we come!

GTG - have you seen the latest lines for todays game against the Oilers? Kadri out with mysterious injury. Greening plays his first game as a Leaf..

Michael Grabner - Peter Holland - Leo Komarov  
Daniel Winnik - Nick Spaling - Josh Leivo  
Colin Greening - Mark Arcobello - PA Parenteau 
Rich Clune - Byron Froese - Brad Boyes  

yikes! 

Absolutely brutal. Our first line is made up of fourth liners (despite Komarov's great season, he's no more than a solid grinder).

I wouldn't be surprised if Kadri was being punished by Babcock for his suspension-worthy threat to Wideman in the previous game.

 

It also seems that Connor McDavid can play. 5 points against the Leafs.

I don't think the Leafs are going to have any players left by this time next week. One of the biggest clean outs of a team in any sport that I can recall.

Being a Dees supporter I feel a great deal of sympathy for Edmonton. Their struggles are almost identical to ours and they are playing without any passion at all. I hope they can turn it around...it seems like McDavid's the only one trying, and despite his best efforts, the team isn't improving.

The pressure is well and truly off and Kadri has been showing some razzle dazzle in the past few games.  The list is decimated yet the Leafs are still competing with their second/third tier list. The kid Leipsic looks good.. did you see the Clune interview GTG? so good.

The Reimer trade feels like a bad deal. Hope we somehow keep P-A Parenteau - I love that guy.

Everyone hyping Nylander to debut later this week (post deadline), why not throw him up against the Caps/ Ovechkin first up, haaaa!

Yeah, wasn't thrilled with the return for Reimer. Parenteau didn't find a suitor so he'll be around until the end of the season. Nylander, Kapanen and Hyman to debut tonight against Tampa Bay. 

Can't see the Leafs winning more than 5 games for the rest of the season. Exciting times....

actually very exciting game, i don't know if that was sarcasm GTG, the kids are nifty.

2-1 loss to an in form Tampa with 7 new players..

It was a very exciting game. I was there sitting next to Larry Tanenbaum, who seems very optimistic about the future. I'm not sure I'll be as optimistic as him until I see how well this drafting strategy plays out in the summer and early next season.

Well we just beat Detroit and Tampa Bay back to back... phew just saw the Oilers won

I think we're a very safe bet to finish last, however I recently read that whoever finishes last has about a 45% chance of slipping to fourth overall in the draft. I think the lottery system is fantastic and should be introduced into the AFL, but it would be devastating to not get the top pick after being so terrible.

Quick by name.. good stuff! 

Leafs kids continue to play some bloody good hockey to decimate the tank.

Avs back in playoff spot but have just given up 2 short handed goals, in 1 power play to the flames?! 

You'll need to win out starting with St Louis tomorrow (our time) ... and then hope Minnesota slips up.

It's possible but Minnesota would have to drop at least 2 games ... ya never know :ph34r:

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
