SUV with towing and get yourself a work trailer to haul what you need to.

Give yourself the option to forget about work, cut it loose and focus on your lads.

That's sounds sweet. We took a 2017 Cadillac Escalade extended SUV OUT FOR A SPIN. I BELIEVE it was 6.3 L quite capable of pulling something. My twin boys are 14 months old. Want to take them camping and travel with them.

The SUVs that can handle what you want to do are gonna make the board members at OPEC even richer than they already are and you're looking at about 120K for the vehicle. Better to go with 1 ton turbo diesel pick up for same $$$. No need for dually and you're not gonna pass everything but a gas station. Plus if you want to get frisky you can throw on a 6gun with a speed loader and a couple bolt on accessories and crank out 1100+ foot pounds of torque with a twin turbo power stroke.....4 wheel burnouts anyone???

It's because your body is still wanting some actual nutrients, those hot dogs ain't good for nothin but a hippy when he's high on weed. I'm partial to the Maple Leaf Top Dogs BBQ Format.

I'm not sure that's a good idea for his bank account, nor for his health :D

Mike Augello: Evaluating the trades of the Lamoriello era
- mikeinbuffalo


Not sure I understand or agree with the evaluation of Lou Lamoriello in this manner but here is my view.

Unloading Kessel, taking back $1.2 mill per year of stupid tax to get a pick that helped acquire Andersen plus Kapanen. A-

Unloading a bunch of poop contracts including Phaneuf, taking back some garbage the rid the Leafs of worrisome contracts and put them in a position to draft Auston Matthews A+

Getting extra draft picks for mostly extra parts and sewage A

Making Liljegren cut his hair C-

Nothing else of real significance.

Note on Andersen : Is he really a good Number one goalie? Too early to say for certain. Is he way better than Bernier/Reimer/Raycroft/Toskala and all the other cheezeballs that cost the Leafs high draft picks - Light Years better - not close. Reimer was the only one of the bunch that had any meaningful success, but he melted like the wicked witch of the west with 3 minutes to go against the Bruins and he was never the same after that dirty hit by Gionta.

phaneuf clears the front of the crease, and Reimer easily stops it..

Reimer what the bed two years in a row.

He's an embarrassment just like Bernier

There were three softies let in, during the dying minutes of that game. Instead of flopping around like a dying fish, Reimer had to put the oven mitt on just one of them.

Ah, but if we would've won that round, we weren't going deep anyways, and Nonis would probably still be GM.
