(frank) it, I’m on board.


If he plays well, awesome. If he sucks, which is the likely outcome, I get to say “I told you so.” Everyone wins! Except the Sabres. Which is nice.

The Leafs are never getting him for Kerfoot and Johnsson; not even close.

I can't believe that anyone would think that Risto is the man to shore up their defense.

Granted, the poor sap got stuck playing in Buffalo and that is not doing his stats any favors, but have you watched him play?

Leafs need a solid top-pair guy to ride shotgun with Rielly. Risto is not that by any stretch.

We could really use him..
Lafreniere-Matthews-Nylander would be a great top line.
Hyman-Tavares-Marner as the 2nd line

- PatC80

Zezel-berg-Osborne for the shutdown line!!

Wonder where the trump ball huggers are today?

He approvingly retweeted a video where people shouted white power at others in their neighbourhood.

Not the first bit of evidence of racism, but I'm sure the dimwits will divert and deflect.


And now there is evidence that Russia is paying bounties for USA soldiers. But what does trump do? Deny, deflect, accuse media of fake news. No condemnation of Putin or Russia (I wonder why), and he says the attacks weren't that much.

(frank)ing idiot.

He may not have done anything to defend US soldiers who were actually in danger but he has been busy defending Confederate statues. BTW, you should check out what the plaques on some of these statues say. They’re not about reminding people of a difficult time in history. They often simply glorify the brave, unsung heroes, etc.

Trump tweeted about Biden having a low IQ.

That's some rich irony.

Reading the bs poop he's said is astounding.

Dumba is actually decidedly not good. He takes himself out of position frequently to try to land a big hit. His offense is overrated. He's had precisely one above average season (back in 17/18). He's never shown that he's capable of playing big minutes. He's got 3 more years at 6M.

No thanks.

- mjones242

You sorta outed yourself here...

You never actually watch him play, but it’s already been decided that he’s not good. And you’re totally comfortable rolling with it because he’s a talked about candidate to come to Toronto in a trade for Nylander.

Dumba is 100x better than Barrie.

He’s pretty much decided that his best hope is to keep his base riled up in order to get as many of them out to vote as possible. He’s got to hope and persuade possible Biden voters to stay at home. He knows that they’re not going to vote for him. Voter suppression helps with the keep them from voting plan.

I’d go one step further and suggest that he knows he needs society to breakdown in order to stay in power. Vote suppression, gerrymandering, and help from Russia (or other rouge states) won’t be enough this time. He needs civil unrest, so he can pass bills that take away rights, or emergency bills that restrict people’s freedoms.

I can believe the amount of trumpsters who just turn a blind eye to this Russian thing.

He has admitted that it happened with his tweet saying "only a few attacks". Regardless of if and when he knew it was happening, that he tweeted that is pretty daming... And has not once condemned Russia or Putin (becuase they own him). And his simpleton base can't even see it.

Americans are so dumb.

Look at the idiots in Florida doing those speeches about not wearing a mask cause it takes gods beautiful breathe away. How (frank)ing dumb can you be.

Agreed!! No redwings, sens, or sabres get Alex to play the leafs for years to come. Habs have nobody, don’t really care if they get him. My guess is the wild get him. Lol.

It’s 100% going to be MTL.

The NHL, like every sports league to some extent is rigged. The owners don’t own teams for the glory, they own them to make money, or to add to their portfolios. MTL makes too much sense for it not to happen.

We’ll revisit this when we find out.

So you think the accountants who oversee the lottery are corrupt?

What is your version of rigging the lottery?

Americans are so dumb?? Not all of us. Just the ones that burn businesses down and loot and destroy cities those are the ones that could give a rats ass about George Floyd. What a way to make a statement. Wish the leafs could win another Stanley cup so we could all agree on something. I have no problem with our neighbors to the north.

Bill Barr’s been doing a pretty good job of subverting the justice system already. Another four years and the place will be fully (frank)ed.

Andersen will ask for a lot of $$ on his next contract. Ristolainen will be better on a better team. Just like I think Andersen would have better numbers if he was on a defensive minded team. IMO, the Leafs need a defenseman like Ristolainen
- PatC80


So that means even less room for Ristolainen's undeserving contract.

Fair.. That wasn't my point though, a lot of players ask for more money. I still think getting a guy like Ristolainen and pairing him with Muzzin is a good thing..
