Why is it that my wife who doesnt work, feels like she can spend $500 at the vet to look into why our 12 year old fat cat isnt eating all of a sudden

Dude, it gets worse. Wait 'til you have kids and they come to you crying with their dead bearded dragon. You know it's dead but you know they won't believe you and you have to look like your trying so you rush to an after hours vet and drop $400 for them (after a wink from you) to pretend to rush it into emergency.

Actually a 3rd line center and knows his role...sometimes you trade for guys based on how they can help your team not because of what the back of their hockey card say's.
Has decent hands and can fight who's our 3rd or 4th line center that's doing that and scored 14 goals last year with 100 Pims

His ceiling is most likely a 3rd line center but actually plays his role.
Can I ask what your ceiling is on Cody Franson with the Leafs.
Who's your 3rd line center for Toronto next year and does he bring more to the table than Zack Smith.

- tmlfan17



Zack Smith would be a good fit here in T.O., but I kinda doubt that a deal between Toronto and Ottawa is ever gonna be in the cards. It'd be a good fit for both clubs though.

D-men Barret Jackman & Brad Stuart are off the UFA market. At this rate, the Leafs will sign Jeff Finger to a 4-year, $14-million deal.

Because there's usually an issue when cats stop eating....12 isn't considered that old for cats.

Yawn.......isn't it about time for a new blog Mikey? This one has run it's course. OK, we've talked about the draft....so draft, shmaft......Next, Luongo..........it's in tatters, I've been shattered!!! According to Mick and the Stones!! Maybe some Habs or Sens bashing? Wouldn't work, they're having dinner, eating their poutine, or their civil service salad......Hummmm..........UG? It's boring without UG around right now. I think we need to reinstate him!!! What about that topic? We could always talk about the Vermont Catamounts, as they kick off their season, or just eat the cookies that clog up this site? Lets talk Burke......or better yet not! We could torment the Flyers fans and remind them that they will never win a championship, until they get a goalie.......however they have about 9 more years of Bryz, but no-one else wants that contract........it's worse then Luongo's and he's actually won something. Lets see......we can debate on who will rape Howsen first, before the draft. Schultz? I see nothing....nothing.....Col. Hogan! OK, I'm bored.....come on Mikey, give us some new speculation, information and fodder to debate.

Yeah, but 12 years is a long time to put up with a cat.

Funny how Mueller got off to such a good start, then fell off into the pressbox during the playoffs.

I remember when people wanted him brought up, because he was doing so well.

I like Fraser, especially if Holzer makes the Leafs next year. Marlies are gonna need that ready steady shutdown D-man, if they want to keep contending. Hamilton is a must too.

Apparently it already did - shooting in Little Italy - one dead.
- Atomic Wedgie


Not to make light of this ....but here's The Star article ....love the last line.

One man is dead and another in hospital after a shooting near College St. and Montrose Ave. in Little Italy on Monday afternoon.

EMS confirmed that the first patient was pronounced dead at the scene around 3:30 p.m.

The second man suffered non life-threatening injuries.

Police have cordoned off the area in front of the Sicilian Sidewalk Café, where a crowd was watching the Italy vs. Ireland soccer match.

Const. Wendy Drummond said no arrests have been made. Police don’t have any description of the gunman yet.

The homicide squad expects many witnesses to come forward with information once the game is over.

For Mueller he may get caught in the numbers game, I'm not sure about him.

He's a bit of a meh. Got lots of guys like him, he's safe though because of the NCAA rules so hopefully he can do something cool for two years.

Abbott played well for a lil guy. Lots of good players for a supporting cast, but no elite player to build them around yet. Kadri, Frattin and Colborne are the best we have, but they don't dominate.
