Riddle me this...we trade away a TON for Mark Bell, a recovering alcoholic that just got out of rehab who can't even play right now due to suspension and a 4 million dollar goalie that can't crack the lineup on opening night. Way to fu*king go JFJ, you've proven once again how you are one of the worst GM's in Professional sports. And I don't want to hear about how Bell had to be included in the deal...if you didn't want to take Bell, you could have gone for another goalie.
And who can forget the $20 million dollar 4-man defensive backbone of Gill, Kubina, Kaberle and McCabe. With the exception of Kaberle who has the ability to show some skill on a semi-regular basis this Leaf defense could seriously be the worst in the league. Hal Gill is probably the worst skater in the entire NHL, he is physically incapable of turning to the outside to prevent players from driving the net.
Raycroft was the same old Raycroft last night...a couple above average saves but 2-3 weak goals at the wrong time, allowing the Sens to come from behind and steal the game that they had no business winning.
This must be how a heroin addict feels...he knows that doing his drugs are wrong but he loves them too much to quit.

Holy overreaction to one game!
Toskala will be the starter - just give it time. Goalies always seem to take a bit to adjust to new teams. Remember how craptacular Belfour was in his first month as a Leaf?

If he stays healthy he will score more goals than Markus Naslund....mark my words. Nik is the kind of guy that could pot 30...too bad he's made of 100% fine bone china.

No he won't. Nazzy is over the hill but he'll still score more goals than Antropov this season. How about a sig bet?

State your terms.
The only stipulation I have is that each player plays a minimum of 70 games...which is a minor miracle in and of itself for Nik, as I think in the last 3 years he's only managed to play 78 games or something like that. Here's hoping he doesn't fall apart again this year.
