And for the record, Kaberle is 5th on the Leafs in career assists, all time. I'm older than you, I grew up watching this guy when he was great and before you were able to formulate opinions. Plays a huge factor.

My all time favourite Leaf is Mats Sundin. But ya, Kabba, Antropov. Unlike you, I'm a Leafs fan, so I cheer for our players. That's just the way it goes.

Anyway's, you can't have it both ways. You base your opinion of the team based on the way they have played, and not on the results. But you base your opinion of Kulemin based on results and not the way he plays. Hypocrite.

And just like you said some ppl can be blinded by the W's to not see when the team plays poorly, you are blinded by the L's to not see when they play well (i.e., badly outplaying Florida). Once again, hypocritical.

But they aren't right now. Looking at what they will be or what they were is irrational. They aren't a bottom feeder right now and they weren't when they beat us last time this season. That itself infers they aren't playing the game of a bottom feeder. If you can't understand that simple of logic, I don't know what to say.

But they will and most likey will be a bottom feeder team.

Losing points from these will hurt them in April.

I will predict an Ottawa win...All beacuse of their PP.

Oh of course. I don't think any of us are disagreeing with that. We're just not as concerned about it right now since we're currently winning.

I wouldn't really call Ottawa a bottom feeder right now. They aren't good but almost being .500 isn't bad at all.

As long as their occuring, the likelyhood of losing will happen.

Tonights against Ottawa is a big test, lose, and then they lost four points already to a bottom feeder.

While I like that stat because it backs the two of us up, I will mention one little small thing. Kulemin wasn't playing on this line yet (if I remember correctly), so only 1 goal was a little bit more acceptable.

Regardless I see no reason to be all that concerned. As you said it's not like the chances aren't coming. He is still getting them. It will come. And even if he only hits 20 goals this year, it works out for us. It's cheaper in the long run then.

I never said this team was amazing. I never said we're cup challenging. All I said is that we're winning right now and really it makes me less worried about things than if we weren't.

If you want to disagree go ahead. I have no issue with that. I see the issues you see. I'm not ignoring them. All I'm saying is that as long as we're winning, they aren't the end of days your making them out to be.

So one comment, makes all three of them delusional. if you read early comments they had concerns of their own.

Difference is we won. We're not absolving them from responsibility of things but we're giving them a minor break since they won. Completely different.

Yeah that's what I was talking about. I didn't like the idea either. I thought it was a waste to bring in a guy that really wasn't a powerforward and had struggled with injuries. Boy was I wrong. Good call.
