Stevie Y was a heralded young stud with extreme offensive prowess but played on arguably one of the worst teams in the 80,s,,,the red wings were a complete joke of a franchise for quite some time,,,after a few seasons of run and gun hockey, Scotty Bowman comes on board and changes the overall philosophy of the red wings, turns them into a more disciplined, defensive team while being offensively opportunistic and Stevie Y buys into bowmans new system and leads by example, albeit sacrificing his own personal stats for the greater good of the team,,,instead of Yzerman scoring like pavel bure, he turns into a complete player and leader, and an eventual champion...
Now, will kessel/Carlyle be the beginning of a positive shift in this franchise? Will fratten/kadry/koska/reimer/lupu/gardner, etc all be allowed to develop as young talent for a period of two solid years like the red wings in the early 90's and gel as an entire cohesive unit? Will Nonis as GM make the right free agent moves with seasoned proven vets with some tread left on their tires like the red wings used to always pick up veteran leadership? Who really knows....but I think a lot of the foundation is in place,,,,and kessel could be the Stevie Y of this group for the next decade if this team and management stay the course and allow the process to continue and not make any foolish moves....Burke is a proven GM, love him after 3-5 years of him being fired because the man truly does build teams from scratch (Anaheim and Vancouver are perfect examples), but you tend to hate the guy while he's your GM because that's typically when the team sucks and is going thru the tough times....just my thoughts on kessel and company...and I'm not even a leafs fan but living in Toronto, it's everywhere you go |

You should be shot for comparing Kessel to Yzerman. |

Did Yzerman have to overcome cancer as a youngster? Did Yzerman have to deal with all the madness of the Toronto media? Did Yzerman have to live up to an impossible standard based on a questionable trade made by a rebel GM?
Turn the gun 180 degrees bruh |

Awfully defensive for someone who isn't a leafs fan...
You're not fooling anyone. I know you are wearing your Wendel Clark jersey right now.
I don't disagree with the fact that he has had to deal with very tough situations (cancer, horrible toronto fans and media, expectations of him) but he does not even come close to the skill level of Yzerman, the competitiveness of Yzerman, the hard work ethic of Yzerman, the non-selfishness of Yzerman, the leadership of Yzerman.....the list can go on and on.
Go back to watching the black and white highlights of the 1967 stanley cup finals. I'm sure it's already loaded in your dvd player just waiting to be watched again. |

How much did you lose betting on the leafs game last night?
Perhaps you lost more than what's comfortable for you, as you clearly aren't able to carry on a normal discussion,,,because everyone who lives in Toronto must be a leafs fan according to your logic....man, I wish I was your bookie |

Actually it was the over I bet. I lost that wager but was still up for the day, again. I've only had one losing day so far this nhl year and it was a minor losing day. Not everyone in Toronto is a leafs fan but it's funny how someone who says they are not a leafs fan then takes it as a personal attack when someone insults a leafs player is definitely a leafs fan. Not to mention comparing Kessel to Yzerman. If that is not a dead giveaway then I don't know what is.
And yes Carter is a douche. Philly kicked his lazy butt out for a reason.

#18 Posted: 2/1/2013 10:40:28 AM Phil is snake bitten bigtime right now....I was at the game last night and he is getting chances to score just about every shift he is out there. I had the Leafs and the over last night so his miss at the empty net hurt for sure but that happens when your holding the stick a little to tightly.

Got any links to all your winning days? I'm not defending kessel as a leaf, but as an athlete who has overcome adversity unlike you could ever imagine. You come across as an amateur based on your own words. Calling Carter lazy proves you don't know anything about hockey, and if you have had even one winning sports betting day in your life, that would come as a surprise to me, but I'm sure your bookie loves you
