My mom went into early labour when shopping in Buffalo and I was born there, but returned home to Toronto with her when she was released from the hospital 2 days later. That makes me an Amurikan?

holy hell.. you guys realize that i just said something stupid and then figured i would just hold to the point when questioned about it thinking that it would go away right?

then you (frank)ers kept on pressing so now I got to admit that I am just talking out of my ass

New rant today,

Direct Energy can't find the old water tank returned to them, gave them the RMA# and they still can't find it, now I told them to deal with the people that installed the new one and returned the old one.

I'm going back on vacation.

- LeafMan


did you hire a private company to do the install?

No, the tank is still in their warehouse and the RA# expired so they couldn't return it, got a new RA# and spoke to the supervisor directly, tank is being returned.

I think people here over rate him, he is okay as a 4th.
- LeafMan


From an Flyers fan outsider's perspective, I have always liked Gunnar's game and he seems to do just fine as a top pairing. It's not exactly ideal, but to get a guy at 3.15 at the peak of his career for 3 years in your Top 4 is a no brainer. It could be a lot worse you could have Coburn at 4.5.

Leafs will have to do a deal similar to what Nashville did with Lombardi... give up a decent prospect or pick along with Liles for some AHL lifer(s)

I don't mind him as a 3-5 but I don't like to over rate players, I think we do with him.

well you're about $400k high on Fraser, and $500k high on Kadri, so they're fine.

and sending Liles to Marlies saves them $900k also if need be.

Pretty damn sure 29 other NHL GM's would take him on their team.
