Thanks for taking the trouble to sign up for this site and post your trenchant insight. The quality argument that you make leads me to wonder which you went to, Cambridge or Oxford?

This site should be called leafsfans.com because all of the fans are leafs fans. How can they pick the leafs to make, the LEAFS SUCK. RAYCROFT SUCKS. Rangers are going to lock up the 7th or 8th spot because of KING HENRIK.

Seems like a bunch of excuses to me. What have the habs done is the last 10 years. no cups like the leafs. But we wouldn't want to embarrass you guys and look back. 20, 30, 40 years.

I don't know why I'm arguing because MTL has the youngest team in the league and a healthy amount of prospects in the minors so it just shows you that they have good prospects.

Speak for yourself, Raycroft aside the leaf skaters have played very well this season. Pogge was drafted in the 3rd round, Price 5th OVERALL. WJC stats are hugely inflated, Pogge's WHL stats, in front of a questionable calgary team, are what impressed most people. The marlies lost their top 3 scorers, and their head coach, and are a VERY young team. The bulldogs have more vets like Willis, Bayda, Murley, aucoin, Laaksonen. Guys that are not prospects, but AHL stars without a hope of becoming NHL regulars. The Marlies have 2 guy like that (Westrum, Engleheart) but the rest are young guys preparing for the NHL (earl, Murphy, Williams, Foster). So the fact that the bulldogs have a better record means nothing.

tunnel vision, seeing what we want to see seems to be a real problem with fans….. everyone thinks their team is the best. yes, the marlies lost players, the bulldogs lost players… at least 4 and their goalie for the last month…… pogge was a year rather is a year older than price… one would think you have go go with more experienced netminder….. lastly stall is not the next coming of christ, a lot of amazing defensemen played in front of Pogge, tunnel vision my friends…. i do it all the time…. then i step back and say hmmmmmm…… what do the other teams actually do or have? so all this to say….. give me a F&^%$ing break with this. reality is both the Habs and the Leafs are quite an embarassment this year……

Right, you are the AHL expert. Note the Marlies are a much younger and underdeveloped team, aslo they lost about 7 top players this season.

Pogge has thejunior numbers, and is in an earlier stage of development Besides, how have the habs done the past decade? they better have a good farm team with the high draft coices they've had. Note, Price played in WJC in front of Staal, and didn't even make the WJC team a year earlier, Pogge was the starter there.

Leaf fans don't know s*** about hockey.

Did you not watch the WJC. Carey Price is the reason Canada won this year and by the way when the Leafs were trading prospectsdraft picks for a slim chance at a Stanley cup the habs were developing there's.

Open your eyes and look at the stats first....
Hamilton Bulldogs 79 points
Toronto Marlies 54 points

...So who has better prospect. I would say the farm team with better numbers.

Halak: Leading the league
Pogge: Not even in the top 20.

So should I keep going....

Great points, yet…..the B’s are such a streaky team with poor defense and mediocre offense. Not easy to trust them, despite their records against those teams.
