Absolutely love how Nick Kyprios put Damion Cox in his place not once, but twice.
What did he say?

I didn't think that it was a bad game. The Oilers had just as many if not more chances but the Leafs capitalized on theirs plus the Smyth goal should have counted and the Lupul shouldn't have counted. The defense got exposed badly namely Barker and Potter but that was expected against a fast, hungry team like the Leafs playing at home.
The RNH injury sucks, i REALLY hope that he's not just another injury prone player for us.
It's pretty safe to declare that he is, at least at this level. There's NO WAY that he should get hurt off a hit like that if the shoulder is holding steady.
lol. They may grab the 8th and final spot. "schooled" that is hilarious.
Does a younger and better version of the Oilers mean anything to you?
The Leafs didn't have to finish in the Lottery multiple years in a row to get where they are at and they are in a better place than the Oilers.
A GM actually did his job unlike what we had to witness here.
When questioning what consitutes an assist, Cox said they should only allow first assists. Kyper said that's only because it was an Oiler that had 8 points and not a leaf. Cox had no answer. Later, Cox kept calling Gagner by the first name Dave, and Kyper got in his face and said it's Sam. Cox looked like the complete ass and leaf kisser everyone thinks he is.
So dispute that fact that the Leafs are a younger, better more balanced team.
Lets hear the counter argument.
They are younger because they don't have guys like Smyth, Horcoff, Khabby, Sutton, etc.
Our best players are 21 years old or younger, with some still teenagers, while their best players are in the 23-29 range, so not surprising they are better.
I still take Hall, RNH, and Eberle over any single player on their team, so we can't be doing that bad going forward.
Need A LOOOT of help on defense, secondary scoring, and better bottom 6 players.

Isn't that kind of an unfair assessment if the shoulder wasn't ready in the first place?

I hope so. Sounding like he never should have been cleared though.

Did you watch the game or what? We were the better team most of the night and we didnt get a single break. Give it a rest with the leaf love they don't deserve it tonight
Does Seguin play for the Oilers? Pulling players out of your ass doesn't help your argument.
If the Leafs miss the playoffs (which they won't) what difference does it make in comparison to the Oilers?
The Leafs are still a younger, better team.
You keep calling them younger which is very misleading. Our impact players are younger than their impact players. We just have a few late 30s in Smyth, Khabby, and Sutton which increases our average.
No doubt they are better than us right now though.

If the Leafs miss the playoffs then it'll be seven years and counting; eight if you count the lockout. Their position in the standings has looked better than ours year to year but it means very little when you're in a drought like that.
I'd say that they have a 50/50 chance of making it this year depending on how they're playing over the final week of the season... because it's going to go down to the wire.

They also play in a pansy conference with such powerhouses like the Islanders, Panthers (for many years), Hurricanes, Canadiens...
If the Leafs were in the West there's no way they would be in a playoff spot.

Did you honestly just say that it is SAFE to say that he's already inury prone?
Really? It was freak play and he clearly played before he was ready.
We must have a serious differing opinion on the definition of injury-prone.
How good do you think Grabovski would look in Oiler silks?
Would you take Grabovski over Gagner? I sure as hell wouldn't. RNH and Gagner +our 2012 pick which could be Grigorenko if Gagner doesn't work out. That is good top 2 center depth.
Wow...
