  1. I’m sure he sucks, but I need AHL players. John Fortin.
  2. We’re talking about two different things. You’re talking about the programs and support being cut. What I’m talking about is the actual portrayal of those with mental illness. Which, in my opinion, as someone who’s enrolled in his Master’s in Mental Health this fall, is not only terribly inaccurate, but insulting. That the only thing keeping someone from going 100% off the deep end and becoming a criminal, is if he/she does not take their meds. There is more to the “movie” than that, but all the other writing is flimsy and doesn’t stand up under basic Psych 101 scrutiny. All that aside, from a pure “comic book” interpretation, I can also see why people hated it. The Joker is an expert in chemical “warfare”. This “Joker” comes across as someone that would be incapable of slapping together a PP&J sandwich. If you like the movie, that’s totally fine. Not telling you to like it or not like it. What I am saying is, from a mental health standpoint, it’s an elementary take on it, at best.
  3. Well, I’m sure this is a bust. Kurtis McGee @Ilya Kovalchuk.
  4. 11 minutes before @donut47 is skipped
  5. I hated it because it’s a weak commentary on mental illness, as a whole. Especially since nobody asked for a “mental illness” take on The Joker. In a comic universe, it’s pretty understood that villains are crazy, and having a “real life” commentary on it being a mental illness, especially done by one of the worst directors and screenwriters, who clearly doesn’t understand “mental illness”, made for a very surface level take. Which, was overall, quite embarrassing on that front.
  6. Time for shades of 2010 draft. Toronto selects, from Kouvolan Kiekko-65, Veli-Matti Moisio. @Zfetch
  7. Toronto selects Jean-Benoit Thibodeau @Caboose
  8. Toronto selects Marcus McLean @Tanev
  9. So long to, what was going to be one of our future starting goaltenders. However, it was important to pave the way solely for David. In the meantime, Mike Smith will hold the fort for quite some time. Also, thanks to @Otis and @Time Lord for very quick negotiations.
  10. The Toronto Maple Leafs have hired Dominik Hasek as our goalie coach. As such, he has guaranteed us that this 10.0C goalie will be generational and game changing in 5-6 years. Without further delay, the Toronto Maple Leafs are proud to select, from HC Energie Karlovy Vary, Milan David. @Caboose
  11. Going into the draft, Toronto has 4 picks. But, more importantly, the 1st overall pick. This is not a pick I believe where I can go wrong with whoever I decide to select. So, regardless of how the rest of the draft turns out, I can already call it a success. What I can definitively say is that a 5 year rebuild is more like a 10 year rebuild. Most of my 9.0C prospects will need another 3 years in the minors before even getting a sniff of the NHL; and even then, they won’t be lighting it on fire right away.
  12. I think we can all agree that, no matter what happens, my team not making it past the first round only seems fair.
  13. Inheritance Just released a few days ago. Stars Lilly Collins and Simon Pegg. What is it with Simon Pegg just doing all these clunker, low budget movies until it’s time to star in another Mission Impossible film? Anyway, the concept was interesting, but they dragged it out for nearly 2 hours. Easily could have a been an hour and 25 minutes. Clean up the script, get to the point sooner so you can develop Simon Pegg’s character and who he is quicker. Could have been a half decent movie. Instead, it’s a pass.
  14. Toronto releases Kyle Calder to free agency.
  15. Mason played 80 games lol. I give the workhorse the edge.
  16. First overall pick. Did not expect that to happen. To be upfront, my selection will either be Sven Baertschi or Danick Owen. Pretty torn. The prospect of having a 9.5A winger who will put up 90+ points is really enticing, though having a 10.0A franchise goalie would also be needed, despite having Steve Mason (clearly AHL goalie of the year) and Leo Courally in the system.
  17. Toronto releases: Nik Hagman Mike Johnson
  18. Someday, I too will post MVPs/etc. That day isn’t today.
