It is a guy fawkes mask, just like V for Vendetta.

I've also heard rumors they'll be remaking 1984 into a new movie. I hope they get a good director

- ILoveLamp

Oh I know what it is. I have the mask at home.
I heard that too about 1984....it better be well written.

What would you guys think about getting Berglund for St.Louis?

He isn't a legit top line center, and he's had a bit of an inconsistent career, but he's still a bit young, has some good size to him.

like I said, some people love the Nolan trilogy and I'm not going to say they are wrong for their opinion, different tastes on the lead actors plays a big role in liking or loving these types of movies. I happen to despise Bale as Batman.

Im not a fan of him either...I hate voice he does.

Some grit might be added by way of Carlyle's approach and trying to refocus certain players, but I think that more personnel changes are going to be needed.

Burke originally stated that HE WANTED "truculence, belligerence, testosterone etc etc etc," but built a team around Wilson's "off-the-rush" approach with speed being the #1 focus. Now that a hard-nosed defensive coach who likes more grit/toughness has been brought in, not all those same players that were brought in for Wilson's system(s) can be instantly converted into grittier defensive minded players (with speed!)

Knowing this, I think Burke has kinda dropped the ball so far this summer by being a little too passive/conservative, because losing grit in the Schenn/JvR trade and only adding McClement and Aucoin simply isn't enough to improve the team this area.

Where's noename/colin at? Just to reboot an old topic discussed days ago, Toronto was just labelled the 3rd safest city in Canada behind Guelph (1) and Quebec city (2).

He should of sent an offer sheet to Weber with a 26 million signing bonus.


You said they couldnt match it, so we would have Weber right now.

Neil usually fights smaller guys and is more of a shift disturber than enforcer. I doubt there is a bottom 6 player in the league who is afraid of Neil.

Neil >> Brown.

I would say good luck trying to get him, I believe he plays on the 2nd line in St. Louis with Stewart and want to say Oshie. Not for sure on that since I don't have the blues lines memorized from last year.

I know........ I'll make sure I post about 5 times each day for the rest of this year of how I think Nashville screwed up. You know, just rehash the same poop over and over and over again each day.

I mentioned that last year, but he wouldnt come cheap... STL knows what they have in him.

Right now, all I care about is finding takers for Connolly, Komi, and Lombo.

The Leafs still need "that guy". wienerly players like Brown, Phaneuf and Komarov play better with a "that guy" in the lineup. And "that guy" can create more space for guys like Kessel and Lupul.

For me it's still a critical piece ...and as much as I like Brown he's not quite that guy.

Paninis.

I think you're lying.

You've hated him from day one. You also talk smack about him.

You also hate Grabo, too.

Why does a grilled sandwich taste so much better than just a regular old room temperature sandwich? I don't understand it but I accept it.
