All you guys trying to trade for Gibson need to look at past goalie trades. Goalies don't demand the kinds of prices you guys are throwing around.

You need to clarify all you guys.

Anyway, off to get my head examined. Don’t know why I’m getting an MRI when I could have just asked Max

Substance abuse usually stems from some other issue and is a symptom of the problem.

I am not saying he has to be employed because of mental health issues.

I am only suggesting its pretty sad of all the timing.

- Aaron_85

true.

its often is a symptom, but drug use exasperates the problem. Theres lots of social pressures to drink and to a lesser extent smoke weed.. If you started early then there's a higher chance that you're not using it to escape, but because its something you always did.

His daughter was kidnapped or seemingly was. You'd be pretty messed up from that.

Bell had just recieved 122 million in covid money.

Its really poor timing.

- Aaron_85

I dont believe she was "kidnapped".
Bell should never have received that money, completely agree.
Dan wasnt all there for a while, bell made cuts, he part of it.

No (frank)ing clue how to get pictures from my phone onto my computer so I just got this picture from the google-



Also, in case anyone is wondering, it's not coleslaw in the picture, it's Soulslaw.

As I suggested, it isnt about being fired cause it happens to us all but just poor timing of it all.

Last 2 seasons plus this season they have the same save % 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not sure why we’d even trade anything for him.

Just making my point clear. Not arguing either.



Back to hockey. Yeah goalies never get quite what people expect. That is why I think andersen and a 1st is pretty much what they get

Robertson would be the guy I entice them with. Along with a 1st round pick. Those are two real good pieces.

ducks could re sign him or trade him at the TDL at 50 percent retention and get some value picks and prospects.

Wut? Not a chance. That's brutal trade for the leafs.

Only 5 teams are worse at preventing high quality chances.

Bell are scum. They've been doing it for years. Run the BellLetsTalk (which is 100% about the good press for them only) and then fire a poop-tonne of people a week or two later.

Dan is completely correct in his tweets and I'm honestly glad someone finally called them out after this rather than thank them for everything after getting fired for nothing.

Fake's point is that Dan was let go because all companies do this. He's not wrong, and i don't think he's defending Bell per se.

But it's awful timing for Bell..

I wish more ppl would stop doing business with these giant corpoartions.

I love it. You can walk by it and smell the smoker on the walk if you want first.

When he first opened, I don't know how he made money. The portions were so big. $25 for a pound of whatever meat you're getting, the Soulslaw, and the rice thing. But because of Covid, the portions are smaller. I think it's still worth it, though.

I get the porkbutt. I like that the most.

Only problem is that he's got his tunes on so loud that it's kinda hard to hear him.

Zach “stone hands” Hyman it is. Joking of course. I love Hyman but aren’t most Leaf goals (4th in the Division) coming off the PP?
- Canada Cup

5 of AM34's 8 goals are EV.

6 of MM's 6 goals are EV.

Im not defending bell. Sure their lets talk day may have been a pr move but its also helped a lot of people.
We dont know he was fired for nothing, could have been included in the cuts or maybe with the cuts it was good time to get rid of him.
I agree, bad timing for cuts.
But if it were a month from now, people would still complain.

His "call out" will literally be 1 day of topic discussion on the tweeter and then no one will care.
Again bell sucks for taking that money and then making cuts, no disputing that.

In some locations, bell or rogers are your only choice...heck even in other locations the provider may be a different name but the cash rolls up to bell or rogers sometimes.

Trading for an elite goaltender seems to always be a risky proposition, a team that considers themselves to be a contender would be foolish to roll the dice.

Option A should always be getting Fred back to where he was, splitting the starts more evenly when Campbell is more healthy for a stretch seems like a good idea. At the very least, Fred has never felt he's had to earn his job. Perhaps it's the kick he needs.

Worst case scenario you get a feel for whether you can live without Andersen, if he doesn't find his footing and Campbell succeeds perhaps you look to replace him with a 1A/1B type tender. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is he elite. Him and Fred pretty much have the same save % - career - last 2 seasons.

We Leaf fans just like to run players out of town so they can win elsewhere.
