once we get to that point maybe we can wear shirts that say, We did it, all Lives matter to everyone now.

What if I told you that all religions are wrong and there are no gods?
- GreatGigInTheSky

Then I would go... "ho hum"

To be perfectly honest, I have been somewhat uncomfortable with the level of vitriol directed at people who say "All Lives Matter."

I don't say it.

I think it looks stupid.

There have been great analogies on the internet, such as "Save the Rainforest" does not mean "Burn All Other Forests Down!"

But if someone wants to say "All Lives Matter" - surely our society can tolerate that without painting them as racists?
- Atomic Wedgie

Meh, its usually something said by someone who wants to remove the spotlight from the group being represented by the "black lives matter" movement.
Usually said by a white intolerant person.
So fack it, paint them.

Apparently not. Not on this board either it seems... Just ask Fake...

I'd be interested to see him play on one of the top 2 lines. Tough to validate giving an 18 year old rookie top 6 minutes, but I can see him immediately making his line just that much more dangerous. He is needed on that second PP unit.

Also, Mikheyev then gets shifted to that third line... Which is desperately in need of a boost.

Robertson/Matthews/Marner
Hyman/Tavares/Nylander
Mikheyev/Kerfoot/Kapanen
Clifford/Spezza/Engvall

Sorry man, Robertson cannot be on the top line for the playoffs, he has yet to play an nhl game.

What's the deelio on an exhibition game or something?

Is there one before the "real games" start?
- Atomic Wedgie

🤔

Haven't heard of any. They're giving the highest ranked teams what essentially amounts to be a few of them... So it wouldn't hurt.

He can take Cliffords spot on the 4th, he’s to rough for the sport now.

I like Mikheyev in the top six. He and Hyman compliment the top two lines nicely and are a good change of pace from the skill guys.

The third line will have to figure itself out.
- Leafs43

I like him there to, but my more pressing concern is that third line getting killed to the point of 2-3 goals against every night. Don't see that holding up come playoff time.

I trust Mikheyev much more than Engvall.

I also do 99% of my leaf couch coaching completely poopfaced, which results in either complete genius or total dumb(frank)ery. There is no in between, hard to say which one I'm trending towards today. 🤷‍♂️

imo, its more just ignorance and misunderstanding...and a dash of not wanting to understand.

I had this conversation with couple relatives...(all in thier 60s) and they said me the same thing..."But dont all lives matter?", I think all lives matter.

any explaining I attempted really fell in deaf ears.

Apparently not. Not on this board either it seems... Just ask Fake...

Also - Who are we pushing to the fourth line? Johnson?

I was fine with Robertson maybe getting a few minutes 5 vs 5 and playing on the second power play if he proves to be effective there.

Under no circumstances should he be in the top six unless something very drastic happens.

So, a Lumineers fan, nice.

Not every Trump supporter is a racist. However, everyone who still supports Trump now has decided that racism is not a deal-breaker. As long as their 401k looks good, they get conservative judge appointments and deregulation, then they are willing to look the other way on any criminal or immoral/unethical behavior he engages in.

The KKK endorsed Trump. Now, his supporters will say "So what, a man can't control who endorses him!" - and that proves the point. No, Trump (or any politician) cannot control who decides to endorse him, but the endorsing party does. A group endorses the candidate who most closely shares their values and agenda. That is literally what an endorsement is.

If the KKK is backing the same horse you are, then maybe you need to rethink which horse you are betting on.

I can respect that. It's a bat poop crazy idea.

I do so thinking this team needs a bat poop crazy idea to go anywhere. I have little faith after what I watched with this group all season.

Johnsson is out until second round minimum, likely later than that.

I would think the third line would turn out as Johnson - Kerfoot - Kapanen.

If they can't figure their sh!t out, then they need to go. That's a lot of money going towards a third line that apparently is useless.

I think this team can win the play in without adding a rookie to the top line...

Ignored since its all allegations and out of context.

He didn't choose to wear that shirt.

The communist overlords at (checks wikipedia: really? They are owned by Bell and Rogers?)..urm...HE WAS FORCED TO WEAR THAT SHIRT BY COMMUNISTS!!!!

Careful ..the price of cell phones/plans may be enough to get a landslide of support for the anti-t-shirters. At least in Canada.
