Toronto Maple Leafs vs. New York Islanders

I've been watching the Islanders/Leafs game tonight, and thought there were a few things to take note on. Here they are:

  • How does Brett Lebda have a job in the NHL? He is easily the worst player to play for a National Hockey League team this season. I honestly think he would struggle at the AHL or ECHL level. Seriously, when he took a brutal penalty tonight, I was actually happy. I was happy for two reasons. 1) It gives the Leafs an opportunity to improve their PK numbers, and 2) At least Lebda won't be on the ice for two minutes. When he takes a penalty, it's actually a good thing for the Maple Leafs - mainly because we don't have to worry about him losing a 1-1 battle or making one of his infamous giveaways that results in a direct goal for the other team. Lebda in the penalty box with the Leafs on a 5-4 penalty kill is actually better than the Leafs playing 5-5 with Lebda on the ice. I'm honestly disgusted that this guy makes 1.4 million dollars a season: It truly sickens me.
  • How does Ron Wilson still have a job in the NHL? Why in the fuck is Timmy Brent playing the point on the powerplay? Wilson, you realize he's a 3rd or 4th line grinder with limited offensive upside? Almost anyone else on the team except for Lebda or Sjostrom would be a better option for the point than Timmy Brent.
  • Why is Colby Armstrong the assistant captain of the Leafs? Lots of teams have tried making one of their role players a captain or assistant, and look where it has got them. The Oilers have been garbage under Horcoff, and the Thrashers are garbage under Ladd.
  • Lebda is complete shit - WHY DOES HE HAVE AN NHL ROSTER SPOT?! Idsuf8ds8fuad9fid9fddfasdf
