That was a good read.

Spoiler Alert:

Nitro Mysteron is not Kapanen, which I totally thought it was at first.

I did guess the Russian Rock though

Who is the Russian Rock?

Sorry Adam, my boy

You are just going to have to read the article like the rest of us. You might actually like it, as it does league comparisons and analysis, which you seem to enjoy*



*Especially when it disproves a point I'm trying to make, or involves poopting on Freddy G

Where did that come from?



Keep Kadri and Rielly, along with any pending UFA for deadline ammo.

keep trying to somehow move Bozak, Lupul, Robidas and Phaneuf (although I wouldn't mind seeing him under Babs for one season)

I didn't read past the part where he compares him to Swedish junior players after Nylander since the Leafs only have 3 of them.

Just got up to this part. Sadly this is a lie. Article thrown out.

1st: Thommie Bergman. By scouting Nylander in 2012-14, Thommie would have seen Timashov play dozens of times, including on the same line. He’d have seen that the two played well together, and that Timashov had the talent to play up. So, this year, when Leaf scouts – including Hunter – saw Timashov in the Q, and talked to Thommie, he’d have plenty of in-depth info, including the puzzle piece about playing with Nylander.

You realize that whatever Eklund says is the opposite of reality, right?

Bozak's as good as gone

It does make sense though. Lou loves Zajac and Bozie is pretty Zajac.

What a terrible contract Lou gave to him too. Six more seasons at almost 6 mill per, for 25-30 points. He better not (frank) up our team like that

In Jersey, the buck stopped with Lou.

In Toronto, the buck stops with Shanny.

Can't see it

That article with the Russian Rock and Nitro was great. But it also gave me half a chub over Nylander (a full blown chub had there been a photo of Willy).

He just needs his Zachy poo back

We'll probably be saying similar about Bozak this year

It's more fun watching a PGA event on a course you've played several times.

Lou's past 3-4 seasons in New Jersey have been horrible. The bad far outweighs the good.
I'm hoping he won't be in charge of any major decisions

Never played it, but my mother lives just around the corner. I will play it some day.
