i feel like this conversation could end by simply handing you a tennis ball.

so, to summarize. hurricanes are nothing, you've experienced endless amounts of bad weather (in bc, calgary, edmonton, and barrie), there's been 3 floods in your town this year alone and no one has died. only stupid people die in hurricanes, because they were playing in the ocean, or making toast in their flooded kitchen. it's not like it was a tsunami or anything...

again, i'm 15, and i know nothing. right? just to kind've confirm your rock star assessment..

... beauty!

I read that there is a rule in the KHL, that players who are signed to NHL contracts, can only make 65% of their NHL salary in the KHL. Those players aren't going to take a 45% pay cut, if that is indeed true.

Not sure how they do math where you are from......

......but 100% minus 65% is usually 35%....

The last time my Leafs won a cup there was a 70 game schedule, hmmmmmm!!!.
- isitin

Since the Leafs last won the Cup,

-- 24 teams have been added to the NHL.
-- 17 other teams have won the Cup; that includes all of the "Original Six" teams as well as 12 of the teams added since.
-- A rival pro hockey league formed, was absorbed into the NHL, and had 3 teams (Edmonton, Quebec/Colorado, Hartford/Carolina) win the Cup.
-- 6 other teams at least played for the Cup (which is something the Leafs also haven't done since 1967).
-- The Montreal Canadiens have won the Cup 10 more times.
-- The California Seals were formed, renamed the Oakland Seals, then the California Golden Seals, then moved to Cleveland and renamed the Barons, then merged with the Minnesota North Stars who later moved to Dallas and became the Stars ....... and won the Cup.
-- The Cup has been won by a figuratively Mickey Mouse franchise (New Jersey) and a literally Mickey Mouse franchise (Anaheim).
-- The Ottawa Senators rejoined the NHL and got closer to the Cup than the Leafs have.
-- Hundreds of thousands of children have been born across Canada and been told that "once upon a time, the Leafs was a great franchise and was a contender to win the Cup every year" - and laugh hysterically upon hearing that statement.
-- Thousands of NHL players have dreamed of playing for the Leafs, but then elect to play elsewhere once they realize they'd rather win the Cup instead.
-- Scotty Bowman, arguably the league's greatest head coach ever, almost came out of retirement a 3rd time ... until realizing at the last minute he was talking to the Leafs.
-- 2 generations of Canadiens have been brought into the world and been taught to cheer for the Leafs; psychologists around the world have been unable to develop a counseling program to help.
-- Some random guy made up a persona, got people to pay attention, set up a website on this thing called the "Internet" and charged $20 for "insider access" ... and gained more believers than the Leafs have.
-- Leafs fans have had to spend years looking at the roster and say to themselves, "Jesus, we suck worse than Carolina, Columbus, Florida and Phoenix."
-- The motto of Leafs fans has changed from "Wait until next year!" to "Wait until 4 or 5 years from now, after we're done sucking some more!"

what's your purse arm? left or right? favorite colour?

location worthy material? i can understand how it's legendary for you, considering the amount of bandwidth you suck up spending 16 hour days doing a terrible job heckling people on hockeybuzz.. about as fascinating as it gets for you, other than dreaming of grown men being dogs on your lap.

you're a world class douchebag. that's about the only constant here.

I guess we should be like the supreme cup boasters The St. Louis Blues in bragging about their Stanley Cup victories.
