If not, you've still got future star Tuukka Rask, who we gave you for Andrew freaking Raycroft.

True, but he isn't as good as Timmy yet. I want the cup this year!

No one ever knows how good a young goalie will be. Cory Schneider was voted the best goalie in the AHL last season, but he's been questionable at best in his few appearances in the NHL. Justin Pogge was formerly the goalie of the future for the Leafs and where is he now?

You're on a roll today, aren't you?

I'm not sure why Pogge was ever considered the goalie of the future for the Leafs. He had a good WJC one year and that was about it. Rask was always the better prospect.

I think the leafs needed something to account for the loss of Rask, for the sake of the fans. Thats maybe a reason why Pogge was so highly praised.

A lot of people have had a little fun at the expense of the Leafs this year.

Off-hand, I can think of the Canadiens, Capitals, Senators, Penguins, Rangers, and Avalanche...

Flames beat Vancouver 5-3... 4 wins in 4 divisional games so far.

**tmlfan123** · 10-18-2009, 12:18 PM

Is it too much to ask for 1 win?

The worst part of this is that thanks to Brian Bonehead Burke we don't have any draft picks in the next two years so the worse we do, the better the Bruins draft position gets. I am so blanking sick of losing and its only the first month!

/venting time for distraught Leafs fan

Well I can't complain with your situation . . .
I can't believe my Bruins got nailed by the Coyotes 4-1, the Coyotes.

The Sharks had a terrible first period (Other than Nabby, who has been ridiculously good in the last few games), but turned it around on the Island last night to win 4-1. It was nice.

It was kind of like that for the Leafs on Saturday but the difference was that they followed up a terrible first period with two more terrible periods.

The Coyotes are a much better team than people give them credit for. Ilya Bryzgalov is an elite goaltender and they have a lot of young talent combined with some veteran leadership. I honestly thought the problem with them has always been the coaching. Gretzky is the best player to ever play the game, but he's a terrible coach. Dave Tippett is a fantastic coach that never should have lost his job in Dallas. Their troubles last season had nothing to do with his coaching. The Coyotes under Tippett will make the playoffs. Quote me on it.

Done.

Couldn't agree more.

Well I can't argue it, I still just have those 'never-win' Coyotes franchise in my head. I really wanted them to be sold, so I have a grudge against them.
I'd really love to see Shane Doan make the playoffs, he deserves to get back in there.
