no you're trolling, Taj is not "news". Its really getting tired. 

He’s not wrong though. Management showed their true colours and I have zero respect for Benning and co. Ownership can kick rocks for all I care.

Someone's gotta start a music thread.. 

 

I mean cpl posts here and there all good.... but pages and pages of metal and hendrix and bands... 

 

Wouldn't it be better for you guys if start a new thread on topic and continue the discussion there.. then you can enjoy even more with like minded ppl..

I get more enjoyment from the various side trips  in this thread while we are without actual game-related news. All the negativity and repetitive complaints get so tiresome. The music rabbit hole began by @PhillipBlunt was an entertaining diversion.

[86Viking]

did they release what players were at practice today? Curious who from the taxi squad might have been at practice, would assume Dipietro was as a Goalie was not feeling the best still apparently.

 

Sure hope Rathbone gets in some games after he completes his quarantine

Your doing the same thing reading way too much into Bo's comment. 

It is just as likely that he forgot to mention management and the org.

Squire Barnes just said on Global News that Pettersson has had a setback in his injury recovery. He now doubts that we’ll see him again this season.

Horvat is the epitome of a good captain. Dude has his priorities right. These tough times will galvanize the team. The future is bright.

"Their 1970s catalogue included five Top 40 albums and six US Top 40 singles (eleven in Canada). BTO has five certified Gold albums and one certified Platinum album in the US; in Canada, they have six certified Platinum albums and one certified Gold album. The band has sold nearly 30 million albums worldwide, and has fans affectionately known as "gearheads"^[2] (derived from the band's gear-shaped logo). 

 

I now return you to your previously scheduled thread.

 

I digress, eh.

Had to derail the thread away from Squamfan’s Taj reports for a little while.

I think someone's fishing for retweets by blowing this out of proportion.

 

All the players knew what the risks were of playing. They were all given the opportunity to opt out with nothing held against them.

All this fuss brought about by JT’s comments, which were very welcome and already on everyone’s minds. Nothing was missed by the team and no games were going to be played, regardless of NHL scheduling, until players were cleared by medical staff to play. No player who felt unfit was ever going to be forced to play. JT just helped the NHL save face by not having to cancel at the last minute.

Now you are just trying to find excuses for Bennings piss poor management. I don’t understand why everyone is so worried about protecting Benning and Ownerships reputation. Sewer them like they did their own players. You heard Miller, you heard Bo. Why try to defend Benning ? I don’t understand.

that is pretty impressive for a band that only played 2 songs

I doubt it. They will probably carry 3 extra forwards and a extra pair of d-men and rotate them. That way the players play 3 games a week instead of 4. No matter what is said publicly everyone knows the season is toast.   

that is interesting because I remember people saying the same thing in the off season

but 

that is just not the way Green coaches

 

I will believe it if/when it happens

No, I just don't like sensationalism.

I had criticized JB on a lot based on his actual moves, not some random blow out or proportion dribble by some wanna be on Twitter.

He was speaking on behalf of the organization. He’s the captain. Pretty simple/standard stuff. 
 

It’s very sad that people are twisting this. The same suspects. The deadline is over so they need something new to point the finger at management for

To me he keyed in on the getting support part and almost started answering the question before the reporter was finished speaking. I don't think it was a deliberate slight on owners and management.

I absolutely agree. Thanks @PhillipBlunt and @gurn as well. Great musical  conversation and some of the best bands and more importantly guitarists ever. I've literally listened to / lived all of it. Steve Vai playing a 16 guitar overlaid symphony by himself takes a bit of  ... let's say involvement.  Malmsteen too, check out the IQ on that guy. Also Stevie, Jimmy, and Jimi, for me although everyone you guys mentioned are spectacular. Thanks for the Chilliwack and BTO reference. Vocals are great too. I love songs you can sing along with, and know all the words while capturing all the feelings.

 

Obviously you guys are leaps and bounds ahead of me with music knowledge and breadth. Kudos! 

 

Thanks guys. that was awesome!

 

As WHL says though. Back to Hockey. Let's crush those Leaves. I personally speared them over 100 times each and threw them in garbage bags for disposal.

 

 

If you look close you can see Johnny tucked in the middle there sleeping in his Leafs PJ's and the double flamingo is hanging up his figure skates in the shed. 4.5 hours, I'm going to be sore tomorrow.
