I find it amazing that Bettman and the NHL try to penalize teams that get creative legally (back sliding contract) to win, but do nothing to teams like Leafs and Oilers that play to lose so they can get a higher draft pick.

That's fair.

Took me a second to get it but when I did I laughed out loud.

You haven't kept in game shape I can see, that was a soft dump in to the corner

Creative legally.

I find it great that Bettman and the NHL penalize teams for screwing with the rules, and finding any way they can around them.

,


When a team doesn't care whether they miss the playoffs ,then it makes little sense trying to talk.


I could care less if it is 10 15 or 20 years Leafs miss. I can tell you there is nothing that is available in the draft next year that would bring immediate relief to the Leafs playoff drought.

For the number of years that Leafs have missed the playoffs they should look more like Minny or Fla and not like CBJ.

Burke has done a very poor job on building this team and you have little more that we have on the farm and we draft 25 most years.

Your goalies stink . You have 3 Dmen on your entile farm team and pro team, that are worth noticing. Your forwards are embarrassing, so keep on missing the playoffs, and keep hoping on NEXT YEAR.
- VANTEL

The truth hurts. Burke was supposed to be the saviour in TO. You think the honeymoon is over? I almost feel bad for TO fans...almost

Hey Vantel,

Surely in your eyes Brian Burke would be ranked as one of the top GM's if he could get Luongo (Top 3 Goalie in the league apparantly) for Bozak (College free agent) and Kadri (Draft bust)?

Yet they aprrove the contracts. I am not worried , GMs always find a way to outsmart the league.

Boom!! RT @JamesCybulski: I'm told Brian Burke and the Leafs have said no thanks to the Kings regarding G Jonathan Bernier.


Why would he want Bernier and Lu

I just seen a commercial for YELLOW CAB


Two hot white girls are ready to get into the cab and a tall white Cabby gets out and opens the door.


I never seen a commercial so full of sh!t. That ad was sooooo wrong on soooo many levels.

Very nice. Prockstar was saying the other day that he sits at home and masterbates all day and his mom gives him his allowance daily regardless of whether he cleans his room.
- Bieksa#3

Just out of curiosity does Prockstar have any correlation with "Brockstar"?

I'm thinking that after this year, we need to get younger in forward core. Our D is set for at least another couple of years before Hamhuis is up, the Sedins will be ready to move on to no longer being the front-line players they are and Kesler will either be the beast he was in 2010, or blow up. Our forward prospects do not impress me much at all either beyond Kassian and Janssen, the rest top out at bottom 6/maybe able to handle some top 6 minutes.
- DariusKnight

Sedins and Kes is 17mil+ for FA's. That can buy you a pretty good line if you spend it well, and if Kes isn't on the team we should have lots of FA's wanting to come here.

It's pretty ridiculous. I'm sure Gillis is none to pleased.
- Boinker

Yeah Bettmans butt buddy Burkie gets all righteous claiming he didn't sign Richards because it is dishonest , as he tries to talk to players still under contract on a couple of occassions .

We believe ya BB

Fact is Richards knew he was going to sign in NY

Keep whining (frank)ers...How quick some fans are to forget their own teams years at the bottom of the league.

Edmonton never ever played to lose. They simply chose not to try to spend ridiculous amounts of money on over priced free agents and aging players and build through the draft.
