If only Antifa was doing the poop you and Trump wish they were doing. Instead, the FBI is arresting far right white supremacy groups for trying to manipulate the protests. Funny how that works.

This week's guitar solo from another blues giant, was an unbelievable player that liked to take walks in the audience while wailing away. Saw him many times including at the Madison the favorite watering hole err beer joint in the U of T area. Albert Collins aka Frosty, was something else!

Just rewatched bits of Monterey Pop last night. Performances by Jimi, Janis and Otis were astounding. I’ve never seen anyone pour her heart out more during a song than Janis Joplin. I don’t see how she could have lived long; she just seemed too fragile.

Great movie.

Lest we forget The Who's "My Generation" which they absolutely crushed at Monterey. That performance propelled The Who to popular consciousness in the US and the rest is history.

I think it's pretty clear Dubas wants Nick to be exposed to the big club as much as possible during this playoff run. Per next season, expectations are high for this kid and I'm thinking the last thing they want for him is to spend another year in junior. The only other option for him would be the NHL if they don't want him back with the Petes.

Per this season, with the OHL closing up shop, this gives a very unique opportunity for a young player to be a part of a playoff squad.

I think he easily replaces Denis Malgin on the roster but he sits in the box for the run. The only way I see him lacing them up is if the Leafs are down 0-2 in the play-in round or 0-3 in Round 1 (assuming we make it that far).

Or, of course, if there's a significant injury.

It’s so hard to say how players are going look coming into camp. My guess is he’s fighting for one of two or three spots and will have to make it hard not to give it to him.

With a short series after a long lay off if one of the bubble guys looks bad, Keefe won’t wait long to pull the trigger.

Somebody (Lebrun?) had interesting info that Leafs has 20 players available and set to participate in Phase 2 activities. He thought they’d be ready to start tomorrow. That’s more than anyone else and double CBJ. Not sure if that’s a big advantage or not.

Happy to have seen them few years ago. Townshend even did a geriatric power slide.

I think Ceci will be in the line due to his size.
Sandin could move Dermott out of the line up.

Have you checked out their recent album? I was actually pretty pleasantly surprised by the results. "All This Music Must Fade" and "Ball and Chain" (the latter, a re-work of a Townshend solo track) are standout cuts.

Rielly, Muzzin, and Barrie are all higher on the depth chart than Dermott.

Holl and Ceci are natural righties so they have the right side locked up with Barrie.

So that leaves one more slot for Dermott to potentially fill on the left-side. I think he's ahead of Sandin, but the moment he has a poor game he's definitely replaced by Rasmus.

I dunno, I think Robertson plays much bigger and feistier than his size. Plus, I think the ice would be mega-tilted if those 3 shared a line.
- mjones242

Robertson will not see much ice time these playoffs.
Sorry.
Hes brought up to practice and get a sense of the nhl.
I dont see him playing much.

A guy that was murdered by cop had a good day cause the employment rate went up by 1%

Shut the (frank) up.

you're obviously triggered. you can't objectively look at the facts. I gave a link to an article by a Canadian newspaper no less, but yet you insist on your conspiracy theory.

She's had breast reduction (implant removal?) so those babies no longer exist.
- mjones242


I am not sure she has had either.

She lost weight as she got older, and also didn't she have kids? That will do it.

The two pictures show different things and that was the difficulty I had last night. This round had almost all waist-up profile shots. Try finding a good one of Scarlett Johansson that doesn't make your eyes pop.

I finally gave up because ultimately I felt it was only fair that I presented the whole ScarJo experience.

They're real, and they're spectacular

1. Seriously? Trump gets to talk about Floyd George feeling good about equality when he refers to people legally protesting his murder as terrorists.
2. Trump retweets Candace Owen referring to George as “not a good person”.
3. White House fudged the “good” unemployment numbers and even the good ones showed black unemployment going up.

I’m sure there’s a word for someone like you who continually supports racist narratives

Why are you apologizing? I actually agree with you.

My original thoughts were of Robertson on a line with AM34 and MM next season.

We approve.

Also, I'm looking at 4 losses in a row. Maybe I should start betting against me?

Your corporate liberal media lied to you. Again. And you still buy it.

Equal justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement, regardless of race, color, gender or creed, they have to receive fair treatment from law enforcement. They have to receive it. We all saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen. Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, 'This is a great thing that’s happening for our country.' This is a great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality. It’s really what our constitution requires and it’s what our country is all about. - Trump

Rioters and ANTIFA is who he called terrorists and justifiably so because they've easily infiltrated protests and caused terrible amounts of damage. Billions of dollars of damage, looting, 17 deaths (including 2 black cops that you probably don't even know their names), fires started, firefighters assaulted, countless others assaulted, black neighborhoods destroyed. But those are "protesters".



George Floyd held a woman at gun point and did jail time for armed robbery. The day he died, he had meth and fentanyl in his system. You can literally see what appears to be a small bag of white powder fall out of his pocket as he's being arrested. He did not deserve to die at the hands of the cop and without a doubt deserves justice for what was done to him but you'd have to be insane to consider him a hero or a good person. He was a victim of terrible police brutality but he wasn't a saint.



Democrats and corporate liberal media perpetuated lockdowns that lasted too long that led to unemployment being worse than it needed to be. Democrats and Republicans alike voted to give corporations big bail outs to the tune of 5 trillion dollars and give the average person (frank) all. The difference being, Republicans wanted to re-open the economy while Democrats wanted to hide inside until 2021.

Then, when people tried to peacefully *GASP* protest the lockdowns (no looting, no fires, no deaths, y'know an actual peaceful protest), people like you condemned them and called them stupid. Nurses went from blocking protests to kneeling for protests within two weeks. Fantastic 180.

But now protesting is allowed because reasons. Either corporate liberal media was lying (or wrong) about lockdowns or they don't care if black people "protesting" all get infected with COVID-19. Which one is it? You can't have it both ways. The real answer is: the rules only apply if it fits the extreme leftist narrative at the given time.



So typical, scream "racism", attempt to run to a moral high ground and claim virtue. If you call an actual racist a racist; they own it like a badge of honor. But if you call a person who simply doesn't agree with you a racist and try to shame them into your ideology, that person eventually votes against you. The thing that people like you don't realize is the people you call racist resent being called racists because they aren't actually racists. That's why Trump won in 2016 and that's why he'll probably win again in 2020.

There's a word to describe people who support this narrative which you perpetuate; hypocrites.

I'll say it again since you didn't read it the first time; He did not deserve to die at the hands of the cop and without a doubt deserves justice for what was done to him.
- JohnFergusonJr

These people will not accept that you are peaceful and in good faith have a differing viewpoint. The programming is strong in these people and groupthink is the only thing they want from you.

its a sad situation JFJ. very sad. the flying rat brigade is unified.
