Then you have the secondary ones like, Pro Sports, Sports Devil, Castaway. Project D for replay of games.

I use Pro Sports currently, but it's inconsistent

Off topic but, what are the kodi plugins I should get for games these days again? I lost my post-it with the names.

Here's another completely off topic question I have. Would anyone happen to know what the song is after the game when the Leafs win?

It's like a motown song and all you ever get on TV is about the first 3 words. It goes something like We'll, it's alright......

Thanks in advance

I never said he had no use.
I'm just saying that he is lacking some serious defensive abilities.
Carrick actually the same - they're not a proper pairing going forward it seems to me.

If Leafs can keep Gardiner just for pp and offensive zone starts, in this way limiting his time in defensive zone, then he could be a good piece to the team. He's surely no good for the PK.

He'll now go probably go from approx 56% offensive zone starts to around 55% defensive zone starts, and will play better opponents in addition. (assuming he'll take most of Rielly's minutes).
I expect Jake Gardiner to be a minus player when he's used like that - way worse defensively (being 'responsible' for goals against) than Polak and Hunwick which are disliked on here by many.

Can we just trade Gardiner for Nylander already be over with it

I've found the same with Phoenix. Good to know about these others.

You’re as bad as tanner saying gardiner is a #1 dman even though he’s never played #1 minutes.

I think his decision making has been a heck of lot better this year. I think he has developed into a good 2nd pairing dman. Gardiner seems ready for a new challenge. He has an opportunity. Let’s see what he does in a #1 role before passing judgement.

And 90% of teams don’t have a 1st pairing option playing on their 2nd pair.

To me, it's Carrick who needs work--Carrick is where Jake was under Carlyle. Jake to me has turned into a pretty good d-man, and I'm glad we were patient with him.

completely agree.
but don't be too surprised if Hunwick gets more of Rielly's minutes eventually if Rielly stays out more games (let's hope not)

I just checked - 27:30mins to Hunwick yesterday.

Gardiner has less than 0:20secs of average time on ice on the PK this season.
Carrick similar.

D-men that are not used on the PK might not be able to get big minutes always.

Washington: Betsy DeVos, President-elect Donald Trump's education secretary nominee, said it should be up to states whether guns are allowed in schools, citing grizzly bear protection as part of her answer.

She also said she would support Trump if he moved to ban gun-free schools zones, a position he advocated on the campaign trail.


Betsy DeVos is actually Sarah Palin in disguise, isn't she?

Dusually use pro sports for games. Lately I've found good streams on Phoenix. There's a live hockey section under Phoenix sports. Between those two and sportsdevil usually watch a decent stream.

Thanks for the guys who posted about the other kids apps. I'll be checking them out for sure!! Go leafs


Btw. Go leafs

Bears have the right to bear arms. So should we arm bears in order to protect bears' right to bear arms?
