Bryant08, i agree with you there on many points!
1) Lack of depth at centre was shown tonight! After the first couple of games i convinced myself that maybe this Bozak, and Grabovski experiment as 1 & 2 in the centre position may work after all. Tonight just proved the opposite. Bozak is quite good, but this team can't delay on getting that number 1 centre much longer. All the analysts keep pointing out that Richards is a hot commodity, and I for one, at this point wont mind if we could somehow ink him on a 5 year deal of sort. He would add a ton of depth to this team right away. Because watching Zigomanis play on the top line was not a pretty sight for hopeful fans like me, he jumped from Line 4 to Line 1.
2) Yes Versteeg, GO TO YOUR BACK HAND! He had that glorious breakaway chance against the islanders i believe it was, but he completely missed and if he went back hand he might have scored. I noticed that today too. I know we're only 6 games in but he only has 2 pts! But the positives obviously are that hes generating a lot of scoring chances and hes got that swag that can help him get his game on soon so im still very much excited about him!
3) I love to defend any player that currently plays for the Leafs against people who are not so friendly towards torontos puck team but its getting harder and harder to defend beauch these past couple of games. You are right, hes actually starting to annoy me a little too. Those passes are so sketch, and that goal today could have been avoided if he just put more muscle into it and used the stick better.
Gustavsson, despite the loss, was actually pretty good i thought he would be more shaky in net. I cant put the blame on him for the loss, our defense wasnt up to the level it has to be at. Especially the second goal, if Gustavsson poked checked the pass the goal could have been avoided but it was Kaberle who let his man score.
"Yes they deserved to die, and i hope they burn in hell!"
