The budget has nothing to do with HNIC, they get complete say on who they hire. And let me tell you, they didn't hire these morons at a discount.
- AdamFrench

HNIC has a budget.. Whether its been slashed or not they pay Don Cherry too much. But i agree, i was talking the CBC in general. Its poop now.

Is that the 'Nucks/Sharks game?

edit: I thought Kesler was injured!?

in fairness, that was a wet willy, not just a dry finger flick.

Id like to see someone give chara a wet willy.

The Leafs have sorely missed the ability to dominate puck control down low and reap the benefits of wearing out the opposing line since the Mats and Gary show.

Dude:

We all liked Gary Valk's work ethic, but c'mon. He wasn't that good.

Hilarious, but a complete joke, I think those guys get suspensions afterwards for that poop.

Unless any of us has a doctorate in hockey, all of our opinions - as fans - are equally valuable when based on fact.
- 1979AD

well, facts need to be proveable, and the only things you can prove are on a stat-sheet- and we all know that some of the most valuable attributes a player can bring don't show up on stat-sheets.

Everything else is opinion based on observation.

That reminds me of one of the greatest moments in Leafs history since the 90's.

I still remember that goal like it was yesterday. Also related to that moment: Markov giving Jagr the salute as they celebrated knocking off the Pens.

I miss the Yushkevic-Markov pairing so much.

The only sport that still has integrity is baseball.. oh wait i forgot about the massive steroids problem..

Yeah the world of sports is (frank)ed.. Too much corporate interests.

The funniest was Healy slobbering all over Plekanek, ripping all over Kessel during a Habs game Sunday, it made me laugh so hard that it prompted me to tweet to HNIC and CBC about this jackass and why he has a job using tax payers money.

Glen Healy is easily the worst guy working in hockey. He makes Doug McLean look like a genius.

I'm pretty sure McCabe tried to once.

Just let them take the steroids, it levels the playing field if they are all on the poop, plus it's entertaining as (frank).

A 1-0 game (that should have been 1-1) and Healy and Simpson are trying to outdo each other for the role of "Most Fawning Boston Sycophant" describing them like they were the bloody 1980's Oilers.

You'd think it was the biggest drubbing in league history.

Yeah, the boston goal came when the Leafs had their fourth line on the ice and the goal that was disallowed for the Leafs was horrible officating. Plus Kessel hit the post, which is a goal 99% of the time, then there was the puck that trickled through his legs with an empty net and the bangbang save Rask made on him in the third. . With no change at all the Leafs could have won that game 4-1. Though Riemer can be thanked for that.

The funny thing about all the Lance Armstrong rage (and don't get me wrong, I loathe what he did) is that the entire cycling community is tainted. That sport is knee deep in oxygenated blood and testosterone.

There's an old saying in the cycling world: "I know he cheated because I was cheating and he beat me."

I always had this idea of having interesting people do the commentary.. Us hockey fans know who has the puck etc, so we don't need full on play by play.. Lets put Mike Myers and Jim Carey up in the booth. Id never miss a game..

You can't prove that player A lifted player B's stick to prevent a likely goal?

I'm pretty sure McCabe tried to once.

Kessel scores tonight. Book it!

Let's remember that Doug MacLean is from PEI, and in that context, he is a genius.
