  1. Ha ha:) Wife is listening to Christmas Music, dog is chewing a bone, and I’m drinking a very VERY special coffee. I’m wondering if, in a few months, Cassels might get a chance at cantering our fourth line?
  2. I’m really hopping Gaunce could become a Manny Malholtra. Manny was a first round pick, actually top ten. He was out of the league, until he realized he needed to develop a niche - defensive specialist, with some grit too. I’m hoping Manny can convince Gaunce (who seems like a very smart guy) that He too needs to establish himself in a similar way. Fingers are crossed:)
  3. “How ‘bout them Cowboys?”
  4. With Sutter and Bo out, we aren’t doing very good at all. Like you say, we need Sutter to play the hard minutes. I’m hoping he’s going to be okay, and back out there soon.
  5. Tomlinson (just now on 1040) discussing Sutter’s groin injury, and making connection to Sutter’s surgery from a couple years ago. Hearing Sutter is not trying to even skate until after the Christmas break has him concerned it could be a recurrence of the original troubles.
  6. I accept, if this were the case, it would put fear into some of people. Are there cases where kids (because of gender issues) get hormone treatment?
  7. Is there an argument? We see heterosexual couples holdings hands, walking downtown, and society doesn’t classify them as straight. I don’t get why we need to classify people according to their sexuality? I don’t know how to word this properly, but maybe we need to get to a point where there are Pride Parades that mean pride in things other than sexuality? Kind of a time when all the kids know what all the LGBQT and Heterosexual means, but they don’t really care, because it’s no big deal?
  8. I want to see Jake in OT. He’s so fast, and all that open ice would be ideal for his speed. We are one win and five losses in 3 on 3. It’s time to free Jake in OT.
  9. Manner only has 4 goals? That’s kind of surprising considering the Leafs score so much, isn’t it?
  10. Agreed. That's why I say there is a lot of luck involved. First, we need luck in the lottery. Then we need luck picking the correct guy with our top pick. I think the more picks we have, the more potential there is to get lucky.
  11. Well ... considering the potential draft picks can have on a line-up, then actually, kind of, yes, more picks would have made us better. Providing we picked the correct players. Imagine adding Tkatchuk, Pastrnak, and Nylander to our current forward group? I don't believe it's magic; it's more like luck.
  12. Not that I'm nitpicking or anything? Do we really believe JB, TL, and Aqualini are tanking on purpose, but in a secretive way?
  13. I think he was one of our few bright spots in a very dark season last year. It was fun to see him destroy other teams' players. I think we have to accept there were communication issues between Tryamkin and coaches/management.
  14. I'm hoping Jake gets to play left wing with top skilled players soon.
  15. I would give you 1 million pluses if possible. Jake is a natural left winger. He sees the ice better from that side. His body is more open to the play too.
  16. It’s the thought that counts. However, in this case ...
  17. Love to see all four of these guys playing in NA next season.
  18. And he reads the game well. It's almost like he sees what's going to happen, before it happens.
  19. I thought the Euro leagues used the fatter ice? I actually think Dhalen's game is better suited for the smaller NA ice. His offence comes mostly from below the dots, so (over here) his best plays will start closer to the net, making him even more effective.
  20. Guddy is likely looking for a longer team deal, for his own personal security. I think we need his type of player, especially with all the youth coming along.
  21. Maybe Jake needs to go back with the Twins to cover for their lack of defensive play? That might help Jake's offensive numbers too?
