Don't sweat it.

They are still quite a ways from shutting the whole thing down.

In fact, the judge only allowed the injunction because these resellers made it so easy and advertised themselves as cable-killers.

... it is a big next step to trying to outlaw the software altogether. It runs on all kinds of devices, including windows PC's and MAC's.

The only way they can shut the whole thing down is to literally block all the source IP's f the streams. They are just trying to get ahead of the android box re-sellers so that it does not become so commonplace that it kills their business.

They down't care if the odd tech-savvy few of us pirate streams from the net. The stuff that is on Kodi is also available right from the net, if you can find it.

Yup.

Don't know how serious it is yet, but seems like it may be, unfortunately.

Well considering all of their top guys are signed for another 5 years and are the driving force behind the team, it might be the best move for both management and the players.

The players realize the game they played under Carlyle won them a cup, so why not go back to that style which brought them success.

For management it's a low risk move. Murray didn't want to fire Carlyle but felt he had to in order to try and shake up the team.

right and he just fired BB to shake up the team.
the ducks won the cup 10 years ago, had 2 of the best D in the history of the NHL..a lot has changed, we have loads of evidence to show that RC is a possession team black hole.

If Rob Vollman is close to correct..the ducks will be a fringe playoff team.

Has any team ever had a better top 2 D than niedermayer/pronger?

its a huge risk imo

You could be right about Varly, but i'm sure if they did trade for him they would do their research and make sure he's gotten over his issues.

Larsson and Blackwood would be nice, but it still doesn't solve the Leafs goaltending issues this season. I'd probably also want Jersey's 11th overall pick if we're giving up JVR. Probably add in one of our 2nd's to even it out.

- H8terade


You may want Jersy's 11th, but you won't get it. In fact, I doubt you can do the deal without the 11th being added. Jersey thinks very highly of Larsson and JVR is overrated by the Leafs fan base.

Ok well player as in not a goalie.. Kadri showed good growth and responsibility.

It's just so stupid to turn your back on a guy that they drafted, for the first time in a long time who's going to have a good NHL career. He's done everything right and ShanaLouCock love him. Keep the guys you draft, especially if they accept a very reasonable deal!

We know what Reimer is all about, the Leafs needed to move on form him.

Signing Stamkos would be the foolish kind of move past Leafs management would do in a heartbeat. I hope this management team knows better.

This team still needs to bottom out, shed some bad contracts and finish at the bottom, while the kids develop. This is the right way to build a winner.

NO!

The fault is with the NRA (National Rifle Association of America) one of the strongest lobby groups in the USA - making sure that the "Right to Bear Arms" is upheld" Unfortunately, automatic weapons and assault rifles get into the hands of a-holes. The gun rules in the US and elsewhere are a joke.

You may be right, but there will be a lot of goalies moving around at deadline time, so the returns are not likely to increase with time. Pens also have cap considerations with the cap being about $71.4 next year and them having about $55 million committed to 10 players.

Wrong- the bad contracts have been shed there unless you want to wait the six years of the gigantic 1.2 million Kessel hit before the Leafs start to go after free agents. Every other contract that might be considered over-priced expires either this year or next.

Agreed. Instead of signing stamkos, we should tank next again so we draft a player that probably won’t be as good as stamkos.

Teams are only allowed to protect one goalie for expansion, and teams that have two NHL caliber goalies stand to lose one to Las Vegas for nothing if they do not trade those assets first. Las Vegas is expected to choose three goalies.

right? That's not a recipe for success. Look at the Stanley Cup Champi-- oh wait.
