woah..

Dr. Hobo · Post by **Dr. Hobo** » 11/4/2003, 10:03 pm

yeah
2nd detached retina
he's 40 years old
excessive jarring can also cause surgically reattached retinas to detatch so as of now.. he's out indefinately .. possibly forever :crying:

i did solve my "problem" tho.. i dropped macinnis for paul mara and with the "money" i saved on the cost of them i traded mario lemieux for peter forsberg.. so my 4 centres are forsberg, thornton, spezza and datsyuk

Toronto = worst display of defence ever. it's sickening

Worst spelling of the word defense ever. There's no "C" in offense or defense. Just remember that people.

I was in first place..for a couple days. Then Fleury let in like 6 goals in one game....oh well. 4th isn't bad.

what do you expect?
its TO
theyre best d-man is mccabe.. a guy who's best move was the "can-opener" which is now worth 2 mins or less in the box

lol, i know they really shouldnt be good, but this is just awful.

no team has an excuse for giving away so many chances... they're literally handing themselves 75% of their losses. you'd think they'd learn to be a bit more careful 15 games into the season.

as long as pat quinn is the coach they wont get better
look at the teams who normally do well.. ottawa, jersey, detroit etc
they all have one thing in common and thats some sort of system defensively
the only team that i can think of that doesnt do that kinda stuff is colorado but seriously.. why would anyone CARE about a defensive system when you have penalty killers such as kariya, sakic, forsberg, blake, morris, foote, hejduk, selanne..
the avs forwards themselves have strong defensive skills and know what to do.. add to that the fact that the blue line has morris, blake and foote.. then theres the "role" guys.. nikolishin, konawalchuk, hinote and the others are all strong defensively with an offensive touch so once again.. they can get away without a strict and rigid defensive system

the leafs on the other hand have good players but they play like individuals for the most part and are lacking guys of the calibre of the big 3 in denver.. kaberle makes dumb passes out of his zone, klee isnt bad but getting old, mccabe is a good player but does the same kinda stuff as kaberle, marchment is cheap and takes dumb penalties.. then you have aki berg (the epitomy of dumb passes after maybe jyrkii lumme), wade belak <-- enough said. (altho he does play a lot of forward) and karel pilar whom i actually somewhat like.. although i'd rather have sheldon souray, stephane quintal, ron hainsey, mike komisarek (who's in the AHL this year), andrei markov, patrice brisebois (i never say good stuff about him either) and francis boullion over the leafs bunch with the exception of mccabe and brisebois in their respective teams :lol:
