Why on earth were you skeptical about the Van Riemsdyk trade? JVR is a straight up beast. He was extremely inconsistent when he was with the Flyers.. And when the Leafs trade for big ticket players they very often flop and we had finally had a hit with Kessel so I figured we wouldn't get two in a row. That and I wanted Nash Haha, I think everybody wanted Nash. And yeah, Craig Anderson is amazing this year. I am a big Nashville Preds fan, but I sort of have a soft spot for the Colorado Avalanche. I was sad when I'd heard they traded him.

I am so excited at how my Leafs are playing but I don't want to talk about it for fear that they shit the bed again! We finally have some serious talent! Its been so long.. I think it would be good for the entire league to see the Leafs in the playoffs again! Also I was skeptical about trading for VanRiemsdyke but that has really turned out well so far! If the season ended right now Craig Anderson would get the Venza! He has been a beast this year! And has played more games than every goalie with stats equal or better than his. Dan are you a lightning fan btw?? Stamkos is among my favorite players in the league, and Marty is up their two, I love the little guys who rock it! I am excited to talk hockey can you tell?? ;D Yes lightning fan. Its weird I come from NY (lived there until i was 24) and would never root for any other team but the Gmen. But i guess hockey Im different. Hockey is my first sport and favorite so kinda gotta root for the team where I live. Been a lightning fan since day one, went to very first game they played.

Maybe bad chemistry. If they get it together they may dominate the east

If they get it together they may dominate the east I believe its all do to Tortorella, he is a giant dick and the way he goes about running his team I believe only works for so long. I believe he runs his team more from a fear base than a respect base and players will only play for someone like him for so long. He wears out his welcome with players fast.

I want to punch him in the face every time I hear him speak.

well torts is actually a very good coach. He took the lightning to the cup and although his ways are old school he is effective. I agree though that his methods do piss players off. I kinda blame him for ruining vinnie. Vinnie hated torts and never hustled for him. After torts left I think vinnie played lazy for too long and forgot how to play hard because he hasnt played hard for years.
Im shocked he stays in NY with the way he deals with the media, usually in NY if you dont kiss the medias ass you dont last long

His actual coaching knowledge isn't the problem its the way he interacts with people. I wouldn't play for a guy like him. I believe he is an anti motivator. Good players seem to die under his leadership, Vinnie, Richards, Gaboric and now Nash.. There are plenty more as well. If you aren't a hard nosed grinder it seems you don't flourish on torts team.

I would love to talk Hockey but I was born and raised in San Diego. Only lived here and Hawaii. Whats Hockey? LOL. Proceed gentlemen, but I don't think I have anything to offer, sorry.
Oh I did go to one game once. We had the Gulls. Willie O'Ree I think his name was. He was good.

Dont follow hockey that much, like the Pens and Canes.
But about the Rangers coach, heard him talk one time after a game and I could tell right away he is a douchebag.
