  1. Alf feels both Shame and Guilt.  Mrs Alf mixed me a drink.  It’s Vodka and a Vodka cooler, which I accept is a girl’s drink.  I like it, and feel like I’m cheating on Scotch.  Bad Alf

      Those Leafs, they were beat by another team last Saturday, and I was jumping up and down doing my victory dance like crazy!  I'm in love with another team as well, but I was not too in love with the game that was on before the Canucks game.

      You know Alf, the Leafs were the first team I ever knew of.  I was 5, and my Grandfather had all this old Maple Leafs stuff.

  4. Just watched a short video promoting the 'Captain' thing coming up.  There were highlights of all our captains, except Messier and Luongo.  Why are those two omitted, when clearly they were captains too?

      Glassless whisky: The Glenlivet launches new edible cocktail capsules

      TORONTO - Although it may resemble a Fruit Gushers candy with its squishy, capsule shape, the latest innovation from one of the biggest whisky producers in the world is definitely not for children.

      The Glenlivet’s new “Capsule Collection” gives Scotch whisky lovers the opportunity to enjoy their drink without the glass with small edible pods filled with booze.

      he wants to visit his vacation home in winnipeg!

       

      srsly probably sportnet decision over his own personal choice. who knows maybe got family there and asked to visit them a bit more often.

       

      then again I am guessing he makes good money for about 15hours a week. ps I know he probably works outside of tv but on what no one knows hahaha

      it probably will be Randork calling those games. Those are the nights I put the tv on mute and turn on the radio. 

  8. 650 talking about Columbus (taken from 31 thoughts?) making an offer sheet on Laine.

      Yea, Laine just would not be a good fit in Columbus with Torts’ coaching style. I also can’t imagine they’d want to go 5 years without a 1st round pick. 

    3. Alflives

      Alflives

      @Jimmy McGill

      I thought the threshold from two to four firsts was the AAV over a five year term, and it was 10.4 mil.

      I wonder at what cap number (and compensation) the Jets let Laine walk?

    4. JM_

      JM_

      with the offer sheet rules you need to have the picks available for the next draft, with the one exception being if you go fully monty at 4 1sts you can do it over 5 years. Right now, CBJ doesn't have the picks to do a smaller offer sheet than 10.4.

       

      So weirdly CBJ can do 4 1sts, but not 2 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd 

  9. Willie Nylander looks great against the Sabres tonight.  Never seen him committed to playing so hard without the puck.  Did the Princess take some tough pills or something?

      Podz has been praised for his work ethic and character by every coach he's had.  I have zero concern he can improve his conditioning.

       

      As for Byram, he probably gets his nine games before he goes back due to injuries.

  18. Are TO biased media saying, there is no way Meyers gets 7 million, as their way to set up an attack of the Canucks when the Myers’ contract comes in?  It’s like they are purposely making up low numbers, while fully knowing Myers will get more.

      It sells to attack the Canucks, so they set us up to lose on a Myer’s signing by floating unattainable small numbers.  Then when the numbers do come in they have fuel to attack the contact.

    1. Quantum

      Quantum

      Not really. It's not the best financial decision BUT it's possible to stack a roster. But there is a "vet" rule for the AHL as the AHL views itself as a development league.


      According to the AHL website: " Of the 18 skaters (not counting two goaltenders) that teams may dress for a game, at least 13 must be qualified as “development players.” Of those 13, 12 must have played in 260 or fewer professional games (including AHL, NHL and European elite leagues), and one must have played in 320 or fewer professional games. All calculations for development status are based on regular-season totals as of the start of the season. "

    2. Alflives

      Alflives

      Key in that rule says dress for games.  Send Loui, Schaller, and Spooner down and let them eat popcorn, but never play them.

      the word "weaponize" gets thrown out here a lot. We have to be careful with that, taking on other teams long term debt and crap is something that we should have done 4 or 5 years ago, but not 4 to 5 years into the future from this point forward. 

       

      I'd rather see the cap blown on real high end skill like Panarin, or save our cap space for next year when we can really tool up for a good playoff run.
