The majority of the Isles players want out unless the stadium situation gets sorted out. The players hate having to stay in a hotel for home games and having it treat like a road game. Some player's families are pissed they spend an extra night away from them.

Why are they staying in hotels?

I think I'd be okay with that line lol
- Dozzer

Still think i'd go with the big center over Laine.

Even Tavares?

Not sure any specifics. Just told the majority of them hate it. Was the case with Hamonic (although he did have other reasons with the family). Same guy told me Tavares wouldn't mind playing in Buffalo. He used to work for the islanders

They practice in long Island but play in Brooklyn. Not sure who exactly but a combination of Snow and upper management require the players to stay in a hotel after practice until they go to the game. They then play and some, but not all (depending on where they live) get dropped off by the organization after the game. Others stay in a hotel for the night.

It was said to me the majority of players (maybe their wife's moreso) hate having it treat like a road game. They don't see their family too much unless there's a run of home games

Interesting.

I could see how that is a problem for the married guys.

Or not, depending on the marriage. Some guys might want to play for the Isles now.

Lupul for Tavares?

We might have to throw in Robidas.

Lupul will be spending game days on long island.

So I've been doing extensive research on the players that are available to be drafted. Just like some of you guys on here I'm pretty much an expert. That being said, i'm confident the Leafs will in fact hold onto the 1st overall and draft Matthews.

Huge if true!

Not gonna happen, nor is Lupul for Tavares gonna. You have to stop with these silly pipe dreams that Leaf fans have. You're the reason we have the label of being completely clueless. Just stop before you post, think to yourself, what would weirdoh think about this? Does it make sense? Does it make Leaf fans look bad? Is it about cock? It's simple really, just use your head.

BUT WHY WON'T YOU JUST ADMIT THAT LAINE MIGHT BE BETTER?

Huge if true!
- H8terade

Huge is right. There's a possibility, as slim as it is, that the Leafs can finally draft a legit #1 centre. There's quite a few pieces that have to fall into place, but if we're lucky it just might happen.

BUT WHY WON'T YOU JUST ADMIT THAT LAINE MIGHT BE BETTER?


- AdamFrench

He may very well be the next guy to score 60 goals, but alas, he's no centre.


also, something about his face.

He'll probably win Rookie of the Year.

It involved Lupul and Tavares, obviously it's about cock.

But why can't you admit it?

If I could add one of the two it would be girth.

I’m posting that everytime I see spazzo post.

Actually this is true, a buddy of mine is an actor and he might have a bit part in a commercial where he has to shave Tavares' name into his chest hair. He's Portuguese, obviously.
