Maple Leafs trade Dion Phaneuf to Senators in monster 9-player deal

The Couts out of the line up trickle down is in full force. Schenn is the only other potential 2C on this team and he is already a 2W. Hexy needs to keep stocking the young guys, especially forwards. Laughton, Gagner, Raffl and Cousins are not top 6 players.

I'm pissed at Raffl after last season I thought he was going to be a solid two way player netting 25 a year.

Glass is in todays paper saying he is going to make sure Simmonds knows he is unhappy for knocking out his captain

You and me both.

So if he goes after Simmonds there should definitely be an instigation penalty. Simmonds should also get to cross check him in the back of the head 2 times and then they can go at it.

Well, we're due for another winning streak now. No excuses in the next couple of games. I expect to win them both. Man by man, we're better than both of these teams.

Also, the schedule actually gets way easier later this month and into March for what it's worth. We play six teams that are below us in the standings and several more that are just barely ahead of us due to extra games played.

It's time to prove we're not an average team by beating the other average to below average teams for a change.

Its funny how none of the announcers from NY ever mention the cross checks to the head. Weird.

Because it's not a dirty play for McDonagh to cross check Simmonds in the head. That's a hockey play.

So we maybe get some more gritt and hustle but no more goals

Lol And then Umberger scores the very first goal...

Miracles never cease, right? First goal in 50 games. Unreal.

So, with the pace he is keeping up right now, Ghost may have a shot at passing Domi, Eichel and Larkin in points. He is not far off here. This is pretty crazy to think about.

Well, we've pretty much blown our games in hand on some of these teams ahead of us, but we're only four points back of a wild card spot. The issue is that the teams that occupy those spots currently are hot right now.

We have an opportunity here to catch and pass NJ, but we'll have to be more patient to make runs at Tampa or Pitt.

We need to sweep the devils and Rags this weekend to start any kind of run towards a wildcard spot. Please let us win both.

Loved the game Cousins played in the second center slot. What do we do with Laughton if he takes over the number 3 center role when Couts comes back?
