Keep in mind that trades can come in like 30+ minutes after the deadline. 

Maybe, with guys all playing the right way within a proper structure, we are a good team?  We have Demko back, who can carry the club when struggling. Petey, Hughes, Miller are elite difference makers. 

Our annual season run to secure a crappier draft pick is like screwing timmy the mailroom clerk in hopes of getting a raise.  we're literally screwing ourselves to the middle.

Isn’t this guy a 60 point right shot D?  How much of a creep (and locker room cancer) must this guy be for no team to want him?  

big Alf, big. 

@Alfliveshe also is as bad as Barrie, Rielly, and Gardiner in his own zone.  He's KHL bound.

Yep. Immediately checked cap friendly/tsn/nhl.com to see if petey and huggy signed.

Lol, that's what I initially thought as well - double signing announcement shut down CDC...

Barb-wire arm bands were the choice of the edgier skanks back in the 80's-90's. 

When did it become a hipster thing?

With barf bags.

Alternating OT wins and losses for both. Better for the Tank if both get points.

Arizona in ot but I think CBJ wins this instead 

It’s my birthday on Thursday. Don’t do this to me you basterds 

We should just target Vegas with the threat to OS Hague, then lowball them for his and Roy's RFA rights.

Nah don't $&!# where you eat. You piss of a GM and risk alienating membership in the old boys club...

GM's that try the offer sheet route tend to lose their jobs pretty quickly afterwords. 

Thanks Vinny, appreciate the perspective. 

I understand where the jokes are coming from,  but I can assure people I'm not the worrying type whatsoever.   I so rarely see the Dr that my family Dr actually dropped me as a patient (but I convinced him to see me again).  Bottom line my Dr said I definitely did the right thing in making an appointment- we're doing a battery of testing to, as you said Vinny, rule things out....

as a 84 going on 97 year old, i have copd, diabetes, enlarged aorta, fatty liver, unhealthy kidneys, plus i had a 5 bi-pass surgery in 2017. putting that along side arthritis in 5 areas of my spine several cancers that weren't fatal, makes me a walking time bomb. at my age i don't care. good luck to you as you seek help.

You can't go Joe. The Canucks need to win a cup first. You gotta stick around for that!

First look at this new Flames team. Going to be interesting 

That line has a good mix of two way play, offensive creation, and European flair to it.

Just wait. His hardest job has yet to come...TDL is right around the corner

Good point, I think we should all be somewhat concerned.  Other than signing Kuz, can anyone list a meaningful move this management has made?

@goalie13you mean a ductless split ? 

Living in a basement suite. Plus, my landlord has the AC going full blast, so it's actually chilly down here.

@naslund.is.king  We went ducted.  They put a big distribution box in the attic and eight vents around the house.  It keeps the whole house nice and cool.

If he is truly remorseful and has learned from his past behaviour, I am okay with it. I’m all for second chances, within reason of course. 

As long as he loses every game, and is fired at the end of the season.

I'm good.

If he loses every game, I doubt that he would make it to the end of the season.

The leafs have been rebuilding since 1967 so who knows

@Coconuts So our farm system isn't in that great a shape after 7 years.  Much like what it was like after Gillis was canned.  And even the home run hits were trending/developing the wrong direction prior to JR being the GM (and hiring coach Bruce) save Hughes.

We never did a rebuild in the JB era. Now new management is in a tough position. Rebuild properly or re-tool and try to become competitive in a couple of years. They going with option 2 which I think will be a mistake. Unless we can flip Miller for something good like a 2nd OA, Kakko+Schenider/Chytil+Krav, etc.

So no hockey for you? Or basketball? Or Olympic diving?

you're dreaming if you don't think hockey players sell tripping/holding/hooking calls... 

I am also guessing you have never been clipped in the heel, or shin with metal studs while running full speed lol is there simulation? of course, but a lot of the times you dive or keep your momentum going rather than stopping awkwardly and increasing risk of injury

Foaming at the mouth over it like they didn’t do the same with Giordano and Foligno the previous two years. 

either the Canuck media is crap cuz they are negative,

or the Leaf media is crap because they are positive

you guys live a tough life

what are you doing watching a Leafs game anyway?

torturing yourselves?

ROR is a great player.

Did you click on "follow" on the individual when looking at a status update? I did that by accident at one point and couldn't figure out why I was getting various notifications at first.

...or add friend, or whatever it is.

I'll check, thanks....

1st overall or bust.

Still a win -- Fantilli and Carlsson (and to a lesser extent Michkov given his contract) are supposed to be special too.  
I doubt the Sabres were too disappointed in 2015 when they got Eichel instead of McDavid (I mean there's still a gap, but Eichel in that instance was still elite, so I think it'd be the same for whichever of the other kids we would get at #2).  

I don't think anyone looks at getting into a crash to generate publicity.

Glad he's alright according to that article.

Kia EV6 did a great job protecting him!

Maybe the ratings aren't very good either?

I guess airing 2 teams fighting it out for last place in the CFL instead of WJC will increase ratings lol.....
