This being the centennial season, and debut of a new logo, who sells more jerseys: Matthews or Stamkos?
- WingmanWillie


That's a good question. Probably Stamkos, he's already a superstar. Nylander will move units as well, a lot of chicks will want that one.

Man, if they actually did sign Stamkos, and Nylander, Marner and Matthews are all on the team....Kadri and Rielly locked in, and if they are fighting for a playoff spot, with the ten different retro jerseys they're going to do or whatever it is, and the outdoor game, they might set some kind of NHL record for jersey sales.

Especially because I know myself and a lot of fans haven't bought a thing during these last years. A lot of pent up need to spend money on Leafs poop.

I really dig the 3rd jersey, but I wasn't going to buy the (frank)er since it came out.

That was one of the most genius maneuvers in the history of organized sport...it was like somehow picking up a turd by the clean end.

Better yet, they convinced someone else to pick it up. Well technically someone else came looking for it and asked them if they could pick it up. Leafs just standing there looking at said turd asking what are we going to do about this?

Yeah, as a wise man once said, I still can't believe we traded David Clarkson. Nice to see the Leafs actually using their cash advantage to weasel out of cap mistakes.

edit: Then they somehow got Ottawa to take Phaneuf's contract...

He seems like a nice guy. Poor bastard, fighting back from broken legs. I hope it's a nice island. They've probably got him set up on a sweet-ass island.

Remember when Crosby was done this year before the coaching change? Good times.
- AdamFrench



People put too much stock into one or two seasons.

Unless it's injuries, it's absurd to think a fitness freak is done and declining at age 26..

Does someone on TB have the name cookoo?

I was watching game last night with the tv low while I strummed...but I"m sure I kept hearing the announcer say Cookoo has the puck?

You know, just saying TITS at the end of a point makes the reader go hells yeah, TITS, and just feel a lot better about what's been said.

TITS...big ones, little ones...nipples

- Zezel


Oh that'll be my catch phrase every time they pull off a great move.

Leafs sign Stamkos. TITS!

Leafs a acquire young #1 Goalie. TITS, gentlemen!

Leafs steal top pairing defenseman. Oh yeah TITS!

This would be a solid point if Stamkos wasn't younger, better and harder working at both ends of the ice.

Stamkos 26. Last two seasons scored 36 and 43 goals. Has 312 goals in 570 games.

Kessel 28. (Turns 29 this year) last two seasons scored 25 and 26 goals. Has 273 goals in 750 games.

Let us never compare the two again, and never suggest this team is too good to need a 36/43 goal scorer who can put up top 5 nhl goal numbers despite "declining".

The issue here is health. Nothing more imo.

Stamkos is not very good d wise.. at all
