My lungs just filled with a volume of air they haven't felt in a long time

It's time to retire already , stop tugging on heart strings like King Henry did

Remember when he was traded for Andrew Raycroft?

Remember if Justin Pogge went to Boston and Rask stayed a Leaf guess who would be the allstar and who would be in the beer league.

Rask became Rask because of the B's, Rask as a Leaf would have not had the same result.

I say the same about Kidd, Broduer and Potvin...the top 3 goalies selected in their Draft year. Place Potvin in NJD and he'll have had a HOF career. Place Broduer in Calgary and we would be saying Marty Who ?

Guess we'll never know even in hindsight...BUT
I watched Felix a lot as a baby Leaf when Crawford/Coach-Q were the bosses and FP was easily the best player on the ice every single night he played - you knew he had the it-factor!

Therefore, it's the astute GM's job to see that fact and then make d@mn sure they build around "that factor"...
Last time TML were REALLY HOT was then (F. Smith/C. Fletcher as GMs) and Potvin was in net, Gilmour-Clark-Andi up front...

They had the pieces .
Guess tho - so did PIT-NJ-COL...

How many NHL caliber goalies do you need?

Boston:

but is that good for swayman?

…I was just joking around.

And now he retired. Does that affect the NMC?
