So I just read that Trump wants to send men to Mars as soon as possible.

I wonder if he expects the Martians to pay for it by putting a tariff on Martian imports.

They should have gone to Mars long ago, the future of the human race depends on it.

It's like saying Gardiner is Leafs best d-man.
He's not.
One season of sheltered minutes doesn't make Fowler best d-man on Anaheim.

I thought they loved Hjalmarsson? Like a good solid bro-hug love.

So is every core player for them. I mean when you win 3 cups that's what's going to happen.

It dosnt change that they need to make changes. Seebrook has a NMC and a terrible contract. Kieth is Kieth. Kane and Toews are likely not going anywhere.

sheltered minutes? please expand on this....

I like this
- PlatosRepucklic

Actually if someone wants jvr it's a 1st, dman prospect, and? At the trade deadline you get a 1st for a injury prone hanzel, eves? Ladd pulled in a hefty load,last year! So the leafs might add a b prospect or a 3rd? But can't see them giving jvr up for much less?imho

It's not tough but I'll expand

Every time the other teams top line went on the ice so did Rielly and Zaitsev.

- Garnie

agreed.

what about lindholm vs. fowler?

sheltered minutes? please expand on this....

in gardiner's case... he was primarily given offensive zone starts... and next to no PK time

gardiner is a good second pairing PMD man but nothing more... he's worth his contract.

agreed.

what about lindholm vs. fowler?
- Tumbleweed

I don't claim to be a NHL expert, just a Leafs expert.

The only Ana I watched was against TO so I wouldn't know a lot about them or any other team this year.

- Dozzer

I think Gard's and Rielly could play top pair with a true top pairing guy IMO

from what i've seen, i'd say closer to 50/50 for the ducks pair.

tanner disagrees that you are an expert.

I know, Tanner's got a Gardiner boner....I fear he may be his father. I've really changed my tune on Gardiner from a few years ago but I'm the moron because I don't think he's top 10 in the league. Oh well.

I've decided I just won't read his blogs as he just trolls for hits even though I think he's funny.

It seems the Ducks had a few D that were injured or started late and didn't play as many games?

lindholm had his contract negotiations cause a late start.

fowler stepped up while he was out to start the year. big year for him overall.

agreed.

I'll figure this out soon and get back to you

Doughty???

I'll figure this out soon and get back to you

I'm hoping both suck.

- Tumbleweed

When he finally figures out that top pairing shut down D have tougher times putting up good Corsi / scoring chances etc I may go back...til then 🖕🏻

Not that he cares

lindholm had is contract negotiations cause a late start.

fowler stepped up while he was out to start the year. big year for him overall.
- Tumbleweed

And I thought he was older, right now I'd take almost any 2 new D
