NHL January 2013 |OT| - "Double-B to Double-M" The Milbury Leafs Era Begins NOW

Looks like Phat Phil wants out of Toronto. Burke was fired so this guy would stop munching down those "Burkie Dogs":

Phil Kessel was one of the slowest skaters during one of the team’s drills, garnering the following reaction on Twitter:

(Steve Buffery @Beezersun):
This a compltetely (sic) unscientific observation, but Phil Kessel seems to be dragging his ass at the #Leafs camp. At least doing wind sprints

Actually, Phil Kessel is dragging his ass at #Leafs camp. Coach Carlyle can’t be amused #NHL

(Kevin McGran @kevin_mcgran):
Phil Kessel among the Leafs 31 fastest skaters (including goalies)

(Rob Del Mundo @tmlfansrob):
Did Kessel bring on Larry Murphy as a skating coach?

Probably the only post I'll make about fantasy, since I'm sure people outside the pool don't care, but here's my team:

C Ryan Getzlaf
C Vincent Lecavalier

LW Jamie Benn
LW Alex Ovechkin

RW Michael Ryder
RW Kris Versteeg

D Kris Letang
D Dion Phaneuf
D Luke Schenn
D Andrej Meszaros

G Kari Lehtonen
G James Reimer

BN Jonathan Bernier
BN Andy McDonald
BN Dmitry Kulikov

Pretty happy, though I regret taking Versteeg instead of Callahan, who I even had at the top of my list but my eyes glazed over. Yahoo rankings this year were pretty bonkers, so I'm sure that threw everyone off.

And a cup win this year definitely won't be tainted. A 48 game schedule is a big enough sample size to see who should make it and playoffs are still just as long. Either way, all teams have the same chance of making it, and I would say a 48 game schedule only makes it harder, not easier, to succeed as failures will be heavily punished.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

The same thing was said of Kessel last year before the season started (he was quick at first skate in camp but awful in preseason)

Then bam

18 points in first 10 games

Benn for Subban

wtf?!

He's not even trying anymore now is he? He got his props from Dredger and Bobby Mac, time to retire Eklund.

Edit: Just looking at it now, what a dumbass he says Subban AND another prospect :lol :lol what a joke, also says Habs are interested in Getzlaf

That line about how the Devils think that O'Reilly can "Replace Parise at center" is hilarious. He's not only bad at what he does he doesn't even know the players he's talking about.

EDIT: Actually, why the Habs!? They're RICH at Centre...

Because Eklund. No reason to go after Getlzaf, we need more scoring wingers if anything we'd be in on Perry or Ryan.

C- Henrik Sedin
C- Brad Richards

LW - Thomas Vanek
LW - Ryan Malone

RW - Justin Williams
RW - Nail Yakupov

D - Ryan Suter
D - P.K. Subban
D - Jason Garrison
D - Johnny Boychuck

G- Corey Schnieder
G- Jonas Gustavsson

B - Drew Stafford
B - Steve Ott
B - Clarke Macarthur


Not any huge star power, but good depth at all positions and across all the point categories. Really need a second start goalie though.

Surprised Couturier went so late.

C/RW - Patrick Sharp
C/LW - Jordan Staal
LW/C - Valtteri Filppula
LW - Chris Kunitz
LW - David Booth
RW - Martin Havlat
RW/LW - Tyler Kennedy
D - Zdeno Chara
D - Michael Del Zotto
D - Dennis Seidenberg
D - Ian White
D - John-Michael Liles
G - Henrik Lundqvist
G - Brian Elliott
G - Jhonas Enroth

Going with two Bruins, two Pens, and two Rangers might hurt me but the dual positions should allow me to manage my games pretty well.

:lol That's what I've been waiting for all day. Others were hoping for trades or signings. I just want to see how Big Buff can fit in a jersey.

Did anyone draft Marcus Foligno? I know nothing about this fantasy thing, but if there's one Sabre who looked can't miss last year, it was him during his short call-up. He should get a good amount of ice time with Ennis and Stafford.

Yahoo ranks were absolutely stupid in the drafts

I picked so many 150+ players

Defense and RWs were especially messed up

I was going to, but needed to prioritize my D picks because I had already picked my offense. May pick him up on waivers if he's available though.

Heatley
Lupul
E. Cole
Ehrhoff
Fowler
Leddy
Gardiner
Sbisa
Gagne
Couturier

Bryz

Haha BWG is the guy who took Visnosky? I was wondering about that....watch him come back and put up massive numbers in NY. Who got Crosby? I was surprised he went 4th.
