Canadiana it: "Jog on, ya hoser!"

I feel like that takes away from the jog on part, though. Focusing too much on the ya hoser part.

Why the frank do stupid frankers bring their babies to games?

FFS, if you can afford seats on the glass, you can afford a franking babysitter.

Uh no. He called out the depth Players and the GM.

Doesn't bode well going forward.

i dont disagree with babcock here although the situation is exacerbated by the fact that the depth options themselves got injured (rosen, gauthier, liljegren etc.) but I haven't really liked dubas as a gm so far.

the muzzin trade was good but everything else he has done has been pretty poor. Getting tavares was great but he was willing to accept less money and higher taxes to play in toronto so I think any competent GM could have gotten that deal done. tavares only considered 5 teams with SJ literally offering to make him the highest paid player in the history of the sport and tavares said no thanks, i probably could have closed that deal.

dubas' handling of the trio has been terrible. these guys should have been extended a long time prior. in the end each of them will cost toronto a lot more in cap space than if dubas got it done in the offseason. i get that it might have been hard to extend all 3, but he should have gotten at least 1 or 2 extended.

the worst part is when he keeps guaranteeing that those 3 will be extended. like wtf, they're not free agents, no one ever thought they were going anywhere. but by him saying that, it gave those players more leverage and you've seen 2 agents use that to get more money out of the leafs while the 3rd will definitely try as well.

i havent been very impressed by dubas so far.

1. Muzzin trade is great.

2. Let's not talk about taxes unless we know something. For example, do you know if he gave up his Canadian residency and cut all ties from Canada? He didnt as his fiance was from here the whole time. Which means he was paying taxes as a citizen the whole time he was an islander. It wasnt really any different than before.

3. Dubas couldnt force the guys to sign a deal. Marner had an okay year and was 100% betting on himself this year and it will pay off. Dubas offered him a deal.

It’s because they save by not having a babysitter, that they can afford those tickets.

It's a good phrase. I like saying it. Unfortunately, I can't say "mate" after it because it sounds stupid when I say it with my Canadian accent.

Glad they found that little girl from the Amber Alert and that she's safe.
- GreatGigInTheSky

I was on the subway around Rosedale Station (so with cell coverage) when the alert went out.

It was pretty cool to see everone's phones blow up at the same time.

You can save a little more by buying fake baby headphones.

Because you want to look cute, but you probably don't care if it actually goes deaf.

Just get on the Jumbotron, baby!
