Ya he is adpoted, he basically gets slaps on the wrist..I cant stand the idiot, him and his crew are just a bunch of drunks

(frank)ing blocking the rail crossing...netting the pickerel while they spawn - pathetic!!!!

no..JVR/Kessel should be left alone
- Garnie

I think they should be a duo for a long time, just saying JVR and his sweet contract would be quite the bargaining chip for a top Dman..I think within a couple years he will be the best player on the Leafs

He (frank)ing sells the pickerel out of his store for dirt cheap...

The whole talk about replacing Lupul with Moulson was predicated on a Lupul+Gardz for Gio scenario. Of course it's a big hypothetical assumption. Is this your first day here?

i just like to stick to realistic moves that could happen.

Phaneuf, Gardiner, Lupul for Weber.....

Done.

I think Bozak would have something to say about that.. when JVR comes over... him and Phil have to leave the door open when in another room

If you want a top pairing Dman...gonna have to trade JVR
- PinkSock

Or build up other pieces over a couple years in the hopes that Rielly becomes a top pairing Dman.

Marlies playoffs start tonight, not sure how they did so well, thought they were gonna take a step back this year, wonder if Gauthier is playing tonite

Then you probably shouldn't jump into conversations predicated on moves you feel aren't realistic.

McDavid, anyone?

Why are the Marlies starting on the road?

"The quest for the Calder Cup begins tonight for the Toronto Marlies as game 1 of their first round match-up versus the Milwaukee Admirals, AHL affiliate of the Nashville Predators, kicks off tonight at the Bradley Center in Wisconsin at 8pm ET on LeafsTV."

"The Marlies finished the season with 96 points, good for first in the North Division and third overall in the Western Conference"

"This will be the 12th consecutive playoff appearance for the Milwaukee Admirals, who finished sixth in the Western Conference with 91 points and 3rd in the Midwest Division"

WTF?

Seeing Biggs out of the top 12 at this point in his career kind of makes me want to cry a little.

Split the first 2 games and your huge going home for 3

Im guessing Spencer Abbott is hurt??
- PinkSock

Abbott has been out with a shoulder injury since Apr. 4. It’s unclear if Abbott will be ready to go, however his original diagnosis had him out four weeks from the time of injury.

probably not.
