Who's that? That video of the guy on skates in Calgary?
- GreatGigInTheSky

yeah.

In the sense that he didn't want to play him, and Spezza played well in his role.
- Zezel

scratching him opening day was a Richard move. And was a power move against Dubas which eventual led to his downfall. But Spezza didn't really change the team when he was in the lineup.

He's just an anti-mask grifter.

He'll be alt-right martyr in the name of "freedums."

When Ezra Levant is praising you, thats a red flag.

I’m guessing you’re not a fan.

Some are referring to him as a great Canadian patriot.

Wear a mask. This isn’t a debate about freedoms.

Yep. Can’t say it doesn’t bug me while trying to work, but I do it.

the blurb didn't say so. only salary is affected but still, do the taxi squad players count towards the cap as well?
if they loan the player to the AHL then said player is subject to the waiver wire rules.

edit: It sound like you can bury the league minimum 1,079 mil ish to the taxi squad . the rest count towards you nhl cap

HE said leafs risk losing dell to waivers trying to send to taxi squad

I still say dudes hate Willy because he's so damn good looking

Usually there are jealous fans of hockey players just for the fact they play hockey while they sit in an office working their ass off to get ahead of Bob to get a 0.3% raise.

Forgive me for saying this, but:

James Bond movies are poop.

Why would bad guys send five paraglider snowmobilers to kill Bond, and then when that fails, just stop trying to kill him?
- Atomic Wedgie

Most are yes.

It'll be something Q-level stupid.

btw, major regrets defending that Ocean guy. He's an idiot, and the police were right. I thought he was a kid, and the police were heavy handed, but i was wrong.

So there was more to the story than simply what we saw in the video eh?

Wearing a mask sucks, but it has to be done.
Must be even tougher to wear it all day at work.

Kudos for Calgary Police for going after the anti-masker rally the next day too.

I think they've been getting an earful for allowing that to happen.

Yeah it’s Marincin levels of suck. But I’d like to see this end someday, so like you said, has to be done.

I have mixed feelings about the guy tbh. I think he will coach again in the show.

One thing is crystal clear though- Babcock and Dubas hated each other.

Ever notice Brian Burke always says "I like Kyle" before he criticizes the job he's doing? 😂 No you don't like him, Burkey. Just be honest about it! Well obviously he can't say it. 😉

I would bet my house that Burke doesn’t like Dubas. I’m sure the feeling is mutual.

well, if they dont win a round this year, Dubas is gone. And big moves will happen, which likely includes Willy..

This team has underachieved, plain and simple. Don't fault me for trying to improve them before the window closes.

Im sorry that i dont think adding the slowest player in the league to play a 3C role is a recipe for success, but thats what Dubas did.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

You are delusional if you think there is any scenario where Dubas gets fired this year. Zero chance. Zero.

Well even though Burkey is old, I'd still pick him to win a barn fight vs Dubas.

If the doctors who performed the heart transplant on my relative (due to COVID-19) could wear it throughout the operation, people can wear it in the grocery store and the beer store and at school.

No, seriously.

I find it hilarious how folks of a certain ilk talk about being a strong alpha male and how sissies shouldn't be so sensitive and pc, and then in the same breath they claim that wearing a mask is causing them unbearable suffering and irreparable harm

I was in the grocery store on Saturday and a woman told me to stop being a sheep. I answered "baaaaaahhhh." I was wearing a mask of course. She wasn't. She actually came into the store wearing one (so she'd be allowed to enter) and then removed it a minute later. She was then removed from the store when I told an employee she wasn't wearing a mask.

Yeah, Tampa's cap is not our problem..

I just want a decent 3C because i cant see how Jumbo Joe is going to get the job done, and Kerf is better on the wing. Trading Kadri was obviously a bad move at the time it was made, they could really use him rn.

There is no way Toronto and Tampa make a trade as we are both up against the cap/over. Thornton at his cap hit at 3rd line center is a great gamble. Can anyone remember the last Toronto / Tampa trade? I cannot.......

League minimum?

Tampa would have to make other moves for sure. You's still need to sign Cernak.

Good for you. The science is pretty clear. Ignorance seems plentiful these days.

It sounds like Kucherov may be placed on LTIR soon.
