i'm just glad maroon got to be on the ice while the cup was being presented.

not everybody gets to do that.

He was already devastated that "Gloria" replaced Maroon 5 as the Blues arena music. Now this latest news from #Streit2TheBandwagon may set him over the edge.

I wouldn't mind Kadri but also not sure im willing to part with ghost.

Ghost had a poor season last year but he is still a top 4 d with elite offensive talent. Im just not convinced anyone currently on the roster can replace him on the PP. Flyers have always been a team with a top pp but it just died last year out of the blue. Im expecting a bounce back season from the Flyers.

Don't worry about it, it's a ridiculous rumour. If the leafs have an overabundance of anything it's probably streaky left handed offensive minded defenceman who are prone to defensive lapses. They aren't trading a player like Kadri to add to that collection.

Basically like buying into a rumour that says they are looking at trading rielly for a 1C.

So yeah, might be a bounce back season... his good games are real good. His bad games are really bad. there's no in between for him.

"Gloria" is a racist song. They need to remove a statue and their championship will be forever tainted.

Exactly - Kadri gets a grit pass for that alone.

Kadri is barely worth being the throw-in, extra player in a real trade for Ghost. Kadri is a defensive liability, averages about 45 points year...and grit?! Fletcher should be fired if he does Ghost for Kadri.

Hey Ek. When you were on the ice last night did you get a chance to console MONSTER Schenn for getting robbed out of the Conn Smythe?

Have you seen the final voting tally?

Schenn received ZERO 1st place votes.
Schenn received ZERO 2nd place votes.
Schenn received ZERO 3rd place votes.

Too bad you weren't one of the media members invited to cast a vote. But I guess you were on the ice so that's a nice story.

At that point I'm sure dubas tells him to (frank) off and keeps marleau.

I mean if Nylander or kapanen is what it takes to get rid of 1 year of marleaus contract, you eat the one year.

Far from a defensive liability. If true, why would Leafs use him as a shutdown centerman?

Use your brain next time you post.

He has been.

Haven't you seen the polls he posts here around award time?

OHHHHHH, you thought he meant as a part of the PHWA, for the actual award results? That's on you, your mistake.

Kadri drew the short straw...
Nobody thinks Tavares or Matthews would do the dirty work.

Kadri for Patrick Swayze's Ghost.

Unchained Melody will become the Leaf's victory song.
