Maple Leafs

no depth but is he wrong?
He wanted to be concise.
The Coles Notes version.

Not my favourite but either, but I wouldn't say she sucks. I think tribunus hates her because he doesn't find her attractive. That's what he appears to be hung up on.

I'd love to play hockey with her.

I don't hate her. Yes I'm shallow and looks are a factor to me when it comes to female broadcasters.

I just think she's a poor analyst. Her delivery isn't strong, says the same things all the time, and uses a lot of clichés.

She was brought in around the same time as Kevin Bieksa, Anthony Stewart and a bit after Cassie Campbell. Bieksa is a star, Stewart has improved a lot, and Campbell was so good that ESPN hired her away. Botterill remains mediocre in my opinion.

Fair enough. I do agree she's the weakest of the lot. As far as your evaluation of that group, I'd say you're bang on. Kevin Bieksa is a class by himself.

I'd still do Botterill though.

I'll also say, while he's not a sportscaster/analyst, I really like Kyle Bukauskas. He's a total pro.

... and David Amber, he's good.
 
Kadri 4th overall in league scoring and he's only played 16 games

The game is Friday night. While the Leafs should win, the thing is, even the worst teams sometimes find a way to beat the better ones from time to time. That's what I love about the NHL.

Keefe reminded the boys that the Sharks embarrassed them in Toronto. Should be a better effort tonight. Unless they had too much turkey.
 
Hutch was in net that game. His one and only game for the Leafs this season. He was terrible.
 
The difference between Hutch and Woll is that the Leafs seem to like the kid more and are willing to play harder for him, much like they do for Campbell. Team chemistry is huge in sports. Bad teams suffer from a toxic locker room.
 
Reimer in net for SJ
1.97 GAA
.936 SV%
 
Leafs beat Reimer and the Sharks 4-1. Many Leaf haters were hoping the Leafs would blow the lead to Reimer and the Sharks.
 
Six straight wins on the road
