  1. No world championships for Petey. Insurance issues.

      @goalie13 that may be correct but...

       

      "Next year’s contract was not a problem to secure, it was the contract after that,” said Rick Dhaliwal when talking about the situation on Donnie and Dhali. “The Canucks and Pettersson’s agent want the next contract to be insured and the Swedish Hockey Federation said ‘can’t do it, won’t do it, it’s too expensive’. It costs them like $2-3 million in Swedish money. It’s too expensive.”

      Probably for the best, go home, take it easy and come back to training camp early. I know they were all talking about coming to training camp 1 month early so no need to burn himself out with a tiny break.

      Better our guys focus on next year and forego any spring/summer tournaments. Got to be our best right off the hop in October. 

  2. Noah Hanifin? Yes please!

      Your probably looking at our first and Juolevi.

      Asking price will be too much.

      Noah Hanifin?  No thank you. 

  3. Nobody in Toronto wants to lose Matthews, but opening up so much more team depth from one of four very skilled forwards (likely with the best return) seems like something to take advantage of, if possible. 

     

    I never want to predict the Leafs to win, but with a big return for Matthews while addressing goaltending, they could be a true powerhouse, IMO.

      With that in mind, congratulations to the Leafs, for their 1st round win...

      Would the Coyotes give up pick #12 (2023) and a couple young players? 

  4. Not only is there a good chance Vanek won't re-sign in Columbus, there is an (almost) equally good chance he will sign in Vancouver being a UFA this summer. So for 20ish games of Vanek (who was also acquired without giving up any player assets), the Canucks added a young forward with upside, who has already shown he can be an NFL calibre player. - I feel as though the hate is unwarranted.

      ^ I'm being trolled by autocorrect! :rolleyes:

       

      It refuses to accept that I never talk about NFL...must be a 'Murican piece of software.

      Motte and Leipsic both play with some jam and are young enough to have some upside.  We do need to get bigger but neither of these players are soft.  We lacked guys like this in the system who can be plugged into our bottom six going forward.

       

      No reason to complain.

  5. Not only what he is saying, but just the way Boudreau speaks is very encouraging! Hopefully it translates to the play on the ice!

  7. Now we are going to have to listen to the Toronto media and fans all summer...oh I hope they fail somehow.

      It's gonna deepen the rift between Matthews and the leafs.

      He's won't like being passed over for Tavares, which is going to happen a lot!

       

      Drama! Hahaha

    2. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      Silver lining! ...thanks buddy!

  8. Of course, already being reported that the Leafs are poised to be deadline day winners...I guess they gotta make the fans feel like they can win something.

  9. Oh look, after the Canucks are penalized, the rule is modified... Shocking.

      @Drive-By Body Pierce I'd also add that the trading of coaches for a 2nd round was changed after the Canucks benefited lol.

      Lou even said the Bo contract was too much money and for too long. He opened the flood gates for stupid moves and gross overpays. Only the Leafs are being smart. 

    4. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Drive-By Body Pierce

      Eww, gross... bringing the Leafs into a conversation they weren't a part of...

       

      Alf, you're a Leafs fan now... 

  12. One really bad cold... and all of the sudden I am a whiskey drinker.

  13. Parise and Suter to be bought out?!? Wow...that's some huge dead cap space. And, makes Holland look even worse for the Keith deal.

      lol he called gallagher a midget which sparked the mini wrestle behind the net. there was a bit of a scrum when deslauriers kinda interfered with Rinne and Rinne then slammed gallagher to the ice and it started a huge scrum.

      Gallagher was asking for it, good on Rinne, keep him out your crease.

      This medical team is so bloody incompetent. 

    2. A.A.A

      I don't think it was the medical team that did the surgery, unless the team has a hand specialist on their payroll... And unfortunately post-op infections are common

    3. DrJockitch

      The report itself doesn’t really get what is going on. 
      Without more information it is hard to say exactly what is going on but the likely explanation given the number of surgeries and the PICC line is that he has had post op infection.  Assuming they had to put some plates or other hardware in the hand initially, it is very hard to treat an infection around an implant. The PICC line would be there just for long term IV antibiotics. 
      One of the things to remember is superbugs like MRSA go around gyms and athletic facility like wildfire. These are often hard to treat and frequently will require long courses of IV antibiotics. If he got post operative infection a number of surgeries may very reasonably be done to remove hardware, drain infection, provide other types of support to healing structures such as external fixation. 
      While the external interpretation of this may be like Quinn said, a botched surgery, that is less likely to be the case. Complications sometimes happen unfortunately and a hockey glove is a nasty place to stick a wound. 
      Good luck to Pearson. Thought he was one of Benning’s better pickups, especially for what he cost and was under-rated on this board. 

  17. Quit a job, and abruptly leave a company short on resources, and you get gifts and going away parties... Get laid off, and you are immediately cut off from everything, and treated like a terrorist when entering and exiting the building.

      There's a whole lot about our daily working lives and the entire employment paradigm as a whole that makes little sense sometimes. This is definitely one of them. However, the unfortunate fact of life in our modern society is that when someone is let go there is the chance they come back to hurt people, steal, or damage property, and for that reason employers must create these policies which unfortunately hurt both honest and dishonest people alike.
