Raptors have We The North motto.

Leafs adopting similar strategy...

We The Blog.

- Not_Stee

I believe the leafs motto should simply be..."We the Leafs".
It could be their motto and explaining for every assinine thing they do.

Why would a crappy team trade to first rounder for a young scorer........"We the leafs".

We not start the rebuild at the begining of the season to give yourselves a better chance at McDavid instead of falling into it accidentally in january? Cause "We the Leafs".

I absolutely loved TSN getting in on his trash talking to Lundqvist. "All Series Baby, All series."

Not like he's the best power forward in the game either...guy is soft! It's not like he's in the top-10 in hits nearly every year.

I would trade Bozak for him

He does love Marleau
-BooBoo997

Yeah and with good reason..... he's such a great player!
Toews Carter Marleau line was the best line for Team Canada at the Olympics!!!

He's getting up their in age but is still being productive.... would love to see him on the Leafs but sadly he's not what we need right now.... unless we want him for leadership and to show the kids how to be a consummate professional!

I dont get comments like that.. the guy is basically the #1 goal scorer in NHL history when you adjust for era ..and he needs to try more

But you cant deny there have games/days where OV doesnt seem put 100% effort in.

I didn't see the Zeppelin one out at the time so it must have been before.

Speaking of Zeppelin, I have all the vinyl's that I bought, all the CD's followed, then the box set and now a few of the new remasters.

Best band period followed very closely by Pink Floyd.

This is where we disagree. I would put Floyd ahead of Zepplin, only because I grew up on Floyd, didn't grow up too much on Zepplin. Mom was an eccentric Disco\Classic Rock music head. It went from Donna Summer to Peter Brown to Fleetwood Mac to Floyd. It was all over the map, but long road trips were always accompanied by Rumours, The Wall or Dark Side Of The Moon.

It's funny because I have picked that eccentric attribute up from her and practically listen to everything, including EDM (dance music kids listen to these days). No country though.

It's a side of Ovie I have never seen. He is flashy, but not a trash talker, until now

Meh. If he doesn't score a goal a game people say he isn't putting in an effort.

Ha who wants 3 good Centres on the same team.. I mean, only teams that win the cup have that...


McDavid-RNH is a great 1-2, and it is yet to be determined how good Draisatl will be.
Having a god 2 as your 3C makes up for a lot of lacking.

Trade yak or Eberle for help elsewhere. Keep the C's, for 3 years anyway.

- Big_Lightnin


you cant have 3 scoring Cs in the lineup

this is the same philosophy that has got the oilers in this mess in the first place.. you hold onto too much forward talent and end up with an unbalanced lineup

I have always been a strong supporter of all refs on this site but you and LeafMan in particular.

I see no other avenue but to ban Aetherial for no more than 4 hours but no less than 8

looks like $4M due July 1.

guess he's not traded until after July 1 if that's the case

- Tumbleweed



Why's that...

Why can't a trade be worked out where Toronto still pays Kessel's signing bonus as part of the trade??

I agree! However I'm unsure if the league allows this.

That is why I have Floyd basically side by side with Zeppelin, listening to all their albums, I still place Wish You Were Here ahead of all others, the sound, lyrics and compositions are outstanding on that record.

That album is extremely underrated. I love Watters, but Gilmour has filled the void nicely when they couldn't play nice and get along throughout some of their tours.
