this is Canada, we have black bars over those parts

Are u guys in Buff still bitter cause little Phil chopped down your so called giant Scott? You know this guy named Kessel is leading your Olympic team. You'd think you would be smarter to be at least say nice things about Kessel till at least the Olypics are over. I mean it aint like were gonna see a Buff/Toronto playoff seires this year. The way Buff is going, that possibility may not exsist for a long long long long long time. I used the word 'long" 5 times for how many years the Buff will probably miss the playoffs.

Often reticent, Kessel didn't break character after a stunning performance, including a natural hat trick, helped propel the United States to a 5-1 victory against Slovenia in the final game of Group A play Saturday at Shayba Arena. The win gave the Americans a perfect 3-0-0-0 record in pool play and moved them directly into the quarterfinals as group champion, avoiding the always dangerous play-in game.

Quite a statement coming from a newbie who really doesn't know the crowd from Mike's thread. I find everyone in here great. Since the refs dropped the hammer on some of the past idiots in here, it's much much better in here. No more disgusting pics of the Honey Boo Boo family. Serious reduction in offensive remarks in here. Basically come in here, show a little respect & you'll get it back. Be a jackass in here & you'll get your ass kicked in here.

I see you got your Kessel sweater, nice. My local pawnshop has a Winter Classic Bolland jersey for sale for $50.00. Brand new. Only problem was Bolland not playing in the game. However, if I see that the Leafs resign him and he plays a game with that jersey on, then I'll snap it up.

That's a pretty sweet deal. I hope they resign him. I'm not too confident though to be honest. He seemed rather dejected when he was first traded here.

I hope that they can get him for Bozak money. He'd be a lynchpin for our top 3 lines, with the Leafs having a 2A and 2B line, before they get to the 4th line. If you look at the cost of our top 4 centres, it falls in line, considering many teams have a number one centre in the 8 million dollar range. Leafs need to get him signed sooner, then later. I don't want this lingering past the trade deadline. If he isn't staying, then send him back to Chicago and take their first back, for eating his cap hit, this year.

That's a better avatar. lol


How's your wife making out?
- weirdoh

Thanx dude for asking. She is walking with a cane for now. She's getting a little stronger each day but will be a long process.

Yeah always said, once Phil signs an extension, I will definetly get a Kessel jersey. I learned my lesson with Al Iafrate. Got his jersey than 2 years later he was traded. So I am careful who's jersey I get. I'd like to enjoy the player being here for a long long long time. I'm not one who buys different jerseys every few years.

Not that I'm aware of, unless you like maps and informational charts.

English class is what got me through elementary school & high school. I SUCKED at everything else, especially math. I'd like get a B for english and D's & F's for all other subjects. Guess my teachers's saw the English grade & figured I wasn't totally hopeless.

anyone else feel like chiming in on people's grammar?

Good for you guys.


As for the jerseys. I can't even remember the last one I got. I think it was in 04 and it was a Sundin. Nothing since.

I have a '67 Leafs 3rd Jersey, the first one that I've bought since 1979. I hate the Ballard Leaf sweaters and hope they drop those and add the '67 white jersey next. I'll buy one of those.

Wow u just woke up? My best friend growing up, never has EVER woken up b4 3pm since I've known him. He stays up till 6am every night in his basement or bedroom doing God knows what. He's never had a full time job. Went to college for like 7-8 years, why that long I have no idea. I always told him, geez if u stay up every night till 6am, get a full time job like as a security guard working the midnight shift, but he always said no to that idea. This guy is a real card. When the Beatles wrote that song "NOWHERE MAN" I think they were thinking about this guy. I could write a book on this guy.

Yeah...I got a brand new Reimer sweater at a Sports Store in my neighbor hood for 75$....I also just got him to autograph it for me...

WOW my last jersey I bought was Sundin. When the trade was announced at the 94 draft, the next day I went & bought a Sundin jersey. Gilmour was the captain at the time, so I had the captaincy C added to Sundin's jersey 3 years later.

B4 Sundin came along, I had a Gilmour jersey. In 2004, he came to Pontiac Plaza across from Yorkdale. I washed his jersey & after Dougie signed it, I put it into retirement as a collector's item. Now that I have Kessel's sweater, I want to get my Sundin autographed to retire it along side Gilmour's. So yeah from Sundin's jersey, I went 20 years b4 getting a new Leaf jersey.

Damn......the women's team is having a hell of a time with the Swiss. They're up by 2 late, but the Swiss have had their chances.......doesn't bode well, going forward. Is this a precursor to the mens team, if they play the Swiss in the Quarterfinals?

Very nice jersy.

I really want the Leafs to switch their full time jersey's to the winter classic.



The entire jersey is so gorgeous compared to what the Leafs have now. When my wife surprised me for my b-day with this jersey, she asked me, is this the style I like? I told her, this is the jersey I would have chosen.

U could get the fake Leaf jersey's in the men's sweater section at Walmart for around $20, they have Kessel, Dion & Lupul's.

The Leafs have been cursed, since they took the 1969-70 Ballard Leaf as their current crest. The faster they jettison that one and go back to one of their classic crests, the better it will be, when we win the Cup during their Centennial year.

I wonder if there's an update on Bolland out there and is he ready to play? When do they start their mini camp? Doesn't the NHL resume on the Tuesday after the Olympics? Carolina/Buffalo? A cancelled game?
