I don't think the Bruins realized how much that they would miss the goal scoring of Kessel...

Don't rush him back, we wouldn't want him getting re-injured before he is an UFA, and comes to Toronto.

Everyone said Kessel scored because of Savard, but Kessel has 5 goals and 8 points in 8 games.

I am waiting to hear from all the Bruins fans about Kessel. I know it's only 8 games in but maybe just maybe Kessel was becoming a good player not just because of Savard.

Check out this idiot fan, Niedermayer was giving a stick to a little girl, and then some guy takes it out of her hands, and starts an all out fight.

Don't hold your breath...there's a report out that he is about to sign a 7 year, $39 million deal with the the B's. It's expected to be finalized early next week.

If he continues this pace, I'll admit to being wrong on that. I was certainly one of the people saying he needed Savard.

I heard that too....

Now that Kessel is gone, the Bruins look somewhat ordinary without Savard. Maybe their depth has been overstated a little bit?

Key players had career years last season.

Krejci? Yep.
Lucic? Yep.
Kessel? Yep.
Wheeler? Good rookie season.
Chara? Yep.
Wideman? Yep.
Thomas? Yep.

It appears you've recovered from last night.

I love the unfettered optimism of Leafs fans that every player wants to go there. Too bad he is about to sign a deal to stay in Boston for the next several years, but I wouldn't want facts to get in the way of a Leaf's fans arguments, they never do.

The Leafs haven't mattered in my lifetime, and I'll be 40 next year. But thanks for the deal to send your next 2 #1's to Boston, one of which could be the #1 overall.

Both the Globe and RDS are reporting it. Just a few details to iron out. It'll probably be done by the end of the weekend.

Yeah, without Kessel and one of the best playmakers in the NHL, they are struggling to score. Kinda like how other teams when they are missing their best playmaker tend to struggle scoring, right?

Exactly right. Hmmm. Your powers of deduction are very good! ;)

There is no way the Leafs should have lost last night with that none existant high sticking call. The Ref F'd-up big time.

Lots of things get reported, and nothing ever happens.
