  1. Leafs 13 Cups! . . . . . . . . . . . (back when there were only six teams - where only three of them were really competative for a long stretch of that era).
  2. That’s when I’ll start saying Benning should be fired if he lets that happen.
  3. Cleaning up some of those bad contracts that he handed out will likely cost us picks (which logically reduces the effectiveness of the drafting, clearly the club’s strongest attribute). As to the thread topic...the ever ominous ‘higher ups vote of confidence’ which often is the kiss of death.
  4. Linden couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. Tough to find a better Captain that wore a Canuck uniform.
  5. Well, when Lucic was still in his prime (as lethal for this actual hockey skills as well as his fists), he didn't prevent this guy (Lucic was even actually on the ice at the time) from doing his usual type of head hunting hits:
  6. That guy gives Greg Louganis a run for his money.
  7. Well remember at the time we did have Ryan Miller. (NSFW: language)
  8. Once more my ignorance reveals itself when I post.
  9. It’s the Oilers. I think LE might even score that many points. At least he’ll be one of the few forwards that can defend.
  10. Most GMs do that. But man did we luck into not making that mistake. At least LE doesn’t hurt you defensively on the ice. All Lucic can do now is fight.
  11. League tends to recycle bad GMs (or ones coasting on their past rep). Ain’t no way Benning is the worst. You don’t have to do anything and be by default not the worst (as there’s some really bad ones out there). A guy like Jim Rutherford who has won cups as GM for two different teams makes the odd bloody awful mistake like giving us a decent forward for a significantly worse player Gudbranson.
  12. You don’t hand out contracts to over the 30 year olds like Loui E. if you’re in a rebuild. His cap hit is equal to one of the Sedins.
  13. It showed in a video posted in this thread that the product already had instructiions not to get it in contact with your skin, body parts, etc.,.
  14. StealthNuck would rather the Canucks go 8-74 with all eight wins against the Flames than 74-8 with all losses against the Flames. And I thought I hated the Flames.
  15. meh. Win or lose, the Leafs will always be the Laffs to me. Oilers -> Coilers. Flames -> Lames. Bruins -> Ruins.
  16. He might just be a bad player for *that role* (defensive center). Like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Just my gut feeling but I think Gaudette is better suited into an offensive role (but he's shoved into that defensive role because there's nobody else).
  17. What about those high priced "old vets"? Shouldn't they do something more than "rah-rah time in the lockeroom"?
