It's hilarious that leafs were able to dump that contract, the fact he went to the Sens is just hilarious actually.

Perhaps it is more complicated than that. I have always liked the Leaf team. I grew up in Northern Ontario watching the Leafs every Saturday night with my grandfather. We both loved the Leafs. We also watched wrestling together.

I was the last in family to migrate over to become a Sens fan. I live in a small village outside Ottawa and it is all Senators. Most people still think I am a Leaf fan and the love to tease me over the Leaf struggles. I don't have the heart to take away their fun. So, I still play the role of the wounded Leaf fanatic.

In some ways it gives me a more objective perspective than a lot of Leaf fans who are prepared to organize a Stanley Cup parade each time Leaf management comes to a decision. I, as many of you know, do not have a lot of patience for those who drink the blue kool aid and then try to sell the agenda without any further thought.

I am hugely impressed by Shanahan and all the guys he has hired. They seem to be going about their jobs in a very professional way. No excessive hype, no over the top promises. But we need to still face the reality that the Leafs are a last place team. Remember Edmonton has drafted first many, many times and they still struggle. Nobody in the Leaf front office has suggested that this is going to be an easy or short process. Sometimes I wonder why fans allow their hopes to become so unrealistic.

Anyone know what time the Knights play today? I'm hoping Marner can match Perrons one assist.

He has the taste for failure now, he loves it.

How can anyone who's fed up with leafs failure decide to leave and change allegiance to a bigger failure and still think he holds some sort of relevance.

My sister had the best reaction to finding out Santa was fake:

The tooth fairy? No, sorry not real. What about the Easter Bunny? Not real either. Did Jesus really die on the cross for us? No, no, no that one really happened (Catholic family).

I'm hoping to get to red deer tomorrow to watch Marner vs Perron. Not kidding either was thinking about going today London vs Brandon but it might be a last minute decision

It's like breaking up with a girlfriend, and then spending the rest of your life creeping her facebook.

Ha ha. Tell her when he comes out of the tomb, if he sees his shadow there'll be six more weeks on winter.

I'm too embarassed to watch, seeing marner get schooled by perron is saddening. I didn't realize he was on manners level until I saw it for myself. Those pts he's accumulated over his 2 games.....
