Zaitsev sign yet?

Please don't take this in any way as me defending Tanner, but he didn't say that.
- Atomic Wedgie

Well that makes me look like an ass....

Thank God we are taking Matthews. Nylander's prettiness in comparison to how butt(frank) ugly Laine is would be too much for the city to handle.

At least Matthews is an ordinary looking guy. Laine looks like he fell out of an ugly tree and hit some branches on the way down... with his face

You see that weird Skype type interview he did on Saturday? Looked like a piece of evidence out of some kind of internet pedophile case.

Yes, Garth.
- LeafMan

He's from the GTA.

There are people on this board, who have inside knowledge (Take that for what it is worth) That Stamkos situation has some merit to it.

oh

ok then

Hey RJ - continuation from last thread - why the poop are you buying your mom a $4,000 TV?

Do you enjoy providing 24/7 technical support? Because if you mom is like every other mom on earth, no franking way she is going to know how to drive the thing.

My parents wanted an iPad. I gave them an Etch-A-Sketch. That was 2 years ago, and they still don't know the difference.
- Atomic Wedgie

She's pretty good with tech, to be honest, and will get a lot out of it. I knew approximately what kind of TV she wanted and said (frank) it and went and bought it.

Etch-A-Sketch

Yes, Garth.

who is that?

Just watched it, which got the train of thought rolling

The biggest winner in the NHL draft lottery: The Buffalo Sabres because now the Leafs have no interest in Stamkos and he will sign a seven year deal to play in lovely Buffalo because apparently they don't have a young American stud future #1 C who would make Stamkos expendable like the Leafs now do.

Garth never disappoints, does he?

I'm not saying that Stamkos would never sign in Buffalo, but his reasoning is specious at best.

oh

ok then
- senstroll

had a buddy try to logically reason why a critical point in negotiations with Stamkos would be whether or not the Leafs got or were planning to get a goalie.

Because, y'know, players (frank)ing care about that when discussing million-dollar deals

Say what you will, he has a good attitude though. Gonna be a great player.

Quick story:

My 81 year old father was at a dinner party about a month ago.

There was a retired NHL executive at the party (you would recognize his name immediately).

The guy said that the Stamkos to Toronto deal was already done. All the paperwork was done. The only thing left to do was sign it - which they will do on July 1st.

And then the guy's wife chimed in that he wasn't supposed to say anything, so the retired NHL exec told everyone at the table that they were not supposed to repeat it.

So let that sink in for a moment, and then ask yourself this: do you really think that Stamkos and his agent are stoopid? That they would in any way agree to anything AND THEN tell a few select people, swearing them to secrecy?

Every single roomer, repeated by 100 different guys who have inside knowledge, is garbage.

See you on July 1st.

Ha! I call bullpoop! Stamkos uses white tape. It's a fake!!!

Apparently Leafs will be too stacked at center, because we will now have Matthews and Nylander.

Effectively stating that Matthews > Eichel and Nylander > ROR

So either he's off his rocker or hates his team

She needs a $4,000 TV to watch Downton Abbey?

I'm guessing LouLams introduced a new rule whereby all Leafs must use black tape on their blades.

This reminds me of the guy who called in to the Fan 590 stating that he was a member of the Macedonian church in Markham (or wherever Stammer is from), and that Stamkos' parents themselves said that he was coming home to "be an icon in Toronto sports and in the Macedonian community"

I'll say it then.

Stamkos would NEVER sign in Buffalo.
