I am sorry did you just call Komorov one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL?
I am sorry but Komarov
is one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL...

His advanced stats were BRUTAL last year. Babcock played him far too much.
Babcock kept playing him
in offensive situations far too much
So we agree Babcock sucks, good.
But Leo was fantastic on the PK, why?
Because he's one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL.

Johnsson IS much better right now.
Johnsson will be 24 in November and has played just 9 NHL games (on the fourth line!)
... get to hospital, you're ODing on the koolaid!
I'm wrong??
From your link:
"Babcock said Sunday the
injured winger was at 85 per cent and had
not been cleared for Game 6."
Also on game day Game 7 Babcock said Komarov was not healthy enough to play.
(I posted a link to this in a conversation at HF, I'll find it later if I have time)

Guaranteed if Lou gave Leo that horrific 4 year/12 million salary with the leaves you'd be laughing.
Wrong, search the archives, I've never said anything against him.
Truth is he's always been one of those Leaves I kept wishing would just go away.

Go on any Leaf game thread anywhere, fans were screaming at Babcock for playing him so much. I was at the March 29th game between Winnipeg and Toronto. Leaf fans were screaming at how Leo was inexplicably on the 1st PP unit and Matthews was not.
Exactly, as I said Babcock was inexplicably playing Leo in offensive situations.
No doubt, because of Babcock, soon you and yours will go back to throwing jerseys on the ice...

Andreas Johnsson is so much better to have than Leo it's not even worth a debate. Komorov is finished. I really don't care how many goals Leo scored years ago he's a shell of his former self.
You're mainlining that koolaid aren't you!
Perhaps Komarov will continue his slide offensively, perhaps he won't
... but he's still one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL.
Meanwhile we don't know yet if Johnsson will ever be a regular NHL player.

You failed to mention when talking defense is Bozak and JVR were by far the worst defensive forwards on the leaves.
Well the guys who replace them will likely be worse defensively.
And I did mention JVR... in response to your drooling over Tavares.
36 goals out, 37 goals in, big whoop.
Kadri will have lesser wingers this year so his numbers will no doubt go down.
He might also lose some power play time due to Tavares.
Bozak was Leaves best faceoff man...
