    Who gives a F about the media , stop your friggin bitching already. To me bitching about the media has nothing to do with hockey at all and makes whoevers doing it just as much of a troll as anyone else. If you dont like some of the negative media then dont sit there every minute of the day reading blogs and articles because frankly you already know what there gonna say.

    Stop the friggin bitching already and go cry somewhere else

    Go Leafs Go

    To me if were going to invest that kind of money in them then were going with them as our top line into the future and giving up on the chance to get a legitimate top line center atleast through free agency and going with the likes of kadri and colbourne.

    I’m still thinking they will be our second line and play as the first on some nights…a little more experience and they will be really solid and able to play with a kid on their line who can score.

    (whereas Kessel, Connolly, Grabovski, Kulemin, Armstrong, Brown, Phaneuf, Schenn, Aulie, Franson, Liles seem pretty safe, at least for now)

    He played 82 games last year with 26 goals and 26 assists. I would say he is healthy. Any player who is healthy can get injured.

    The point is, his injury history is just as extensive as Connolly’s, and that was the only full season he’s ever played.
