8 more years! 8 more years!

 

[13th fan]

Kessel and JVR are going to be killer's in the Olympics

 

[L K]

I feel like the Leafs have had several goals called back with less contact that Giguere got on that play.

Kessel - 14 points in last 7 games

 

[Arn]

My God, JVR and Kessel are out of this world at the moment.

USA for the Olympics?

 

[bustaheims]

14 points in 7 games puts Kessel back at the PPG mark. Is that elite?

He needs to do more things that are completely outside of his game and entirely unnecessary for him. ;D

His skating isn't #Spector'd

EDIT: Also moves into 4th for goals in the league.

Now now, lads ... piling on is bad form you know.

 

[bill0199]

Wow!  A rare non-call back on a goal where JVR "actually" made contact with the goaltender. 

 

[Bill_Berg]

Man, I was really expecting a let down game tonight. This team seems to do the opposite of what I expect every night.

That doesn't mean it's not fun.

This is from a couple of days ago, I forgot to post it and I don't think anybody else did:

How good is Phil Kessel? Mats Sundin was in the top 10 in league scoring twice as a Leaf. Kessel is doing it for his 3rd straight season.

Take your time healing Clarkson.  I hear Tahiti is nice this time of year.

It's a magical place.

Just went to check Giguere's stats as a Leaf (he wasn't horrifically bad) and had forgotten he was traded for Toskala and Jason Blake.

We've had some awful players on big contracts the last many years...

In fact is Blake or Clarksons the worse contract?

 

[bustaheims]

Clarkson. At least Blake produced offensively.

I'll tell you this much, if watching Patrique smolder on the bench is the price of eating crow about Kessel, hand me a napkin.  I can't stand that guy.

 

[Stronger Than All]

JVR on pace for 33 goals.

Said it before and I'll say it again.  JVR is the best!

His comment today to the media bugged me, about how Toronto is talking about winning the Stanley Cup now that they've won 5 straight.

No, not a single person is saying that.

 

[Derk]

I looked at the boxscore midway through the first and saw the Leafs leading 1-0 and the shots were 11-2 Avs and thought "doom, gloom".

I came back a few minutes ago and it is now 4-0 and the shots are 16 apiece.
