It’ll take him a full day to unbox all the SWAG he’s gonna’ get after becoming a Leaf.
First, put on Johnny Bower Covid mask with team number.

He’ll have lots of historical videos to watch to help imprint Leafs culture into his DNA. Hope he doesn’t mind grainy black and white video.

Hockey Hall of Fame tour...just the Leafs stuff.

Has to learn the words to “You make my dreams come true”.

Review hockey interview cliches to make sure Leafs haven’t snuck anything in there that isn’t part of the collective agreement. This includes customization pertaining specifically to the Leaf organization. See: Jack Campbell responses.

Review list of Toronto media members to hate including images of said media kicking puppies (photo shopped to help with the visualization)

Tour Shanny’s office - make sure not to refuse the Nespresso Shanny will offer (choose the Hazelino Muffin, Shanny’s favourite).

Tour the Zamboni garage, where all the magic happened. (Meant to motivate and inspire).

Review the shooters template, and complete that form in detail. Obviously referring to Flames shooters, but will happily accept any other “shooter shortfalls” based on experience. Leave those complete templates in Steve Brier’s In Box.

Back to the video room for one last go. Not a good way to end the video session, but this is necessary to determine the character of said goalie. Video dates back to May 13th, 2013, and starts at the 12 minute mark in the 3rd. Reaction is critical here, horror is accepted, tears of sadness are accepted, shock is accepted, a chuckle - very frowned upon, outright laugh - don’t unpack your bags.

I think it is Weed-A-way.
When I moved in we had so many bloody weeds everywhere, it was impossible to keep...well not impossible but I had other household projects on the go. They came in and within two treatments I had no weeds.
But it doesnt include crab grass, I have to pay extra if I want to get rid of that.
I get 4 fertilizer/weed control applications and 1 lime application. I pay $269 but I have a big front yard a big backyard.

I dug up about a 3rd of the remaining backyard from quack grass. Covered it in black fabric and then let sit all year... will re-sod the area soon.

I know of no other way to get rid of quack grass.

Your deal sounds good though. If it worked, I would pay that, easily.

The plan of trading him, so he'd get traded again, then traded again, then signed to Ottawa, then put on waivers, with 2 different teams, so he'd land on the Leafs top 6 and destroy them from the inside is working perfectly.

Guy has been good for a found wallet. As long as he keeps the work ethic up, he is a worthwhile player. Last night was a real bad break on that goal.

how are the leafs a winner?

they gave up 1/3 of their draft picks over the next 2 seasons, and got a 3rd liner and 2 guys who will routinely be healthy scratched or on the taxi squad.

they massively overpaid for average to mediocre assets that in no way put them 'over the top"

I don't have weeds in back just lots of cedar trees - shade and acidic soil. Great for the Rhodos and Azaleas (60 year plants) but very bad for grass. I kind of half hearted try - overseed it in the fall and get some very thin grass. The lawn blower practically blows it away. Maybe this year

I kinda' felt the same but then I thought about it and wondered if it was more that many of these odd man rushes seem to end up as goals (regardless of who is in net) and because of that we think there are too many odd man rushes?

I'd be interested in knowing if the Leafs give up more/less or about the same as other teams. I couldn't find any stats in my quick google check search.

I will say the Leafs give up way too many odd man rushes when they are on the terrible power play. Maybe they should just go simple on the pp for awhile and jam up the front of the net with bodies and hammer pucks from the point looking for tips and rebounds and get some ugly PP goals to get that PP going.

There seems to be very minimal outrage on here about the .875 SV % from the Leaf goalie last night which is a nice change.

Go Leafs Go

The points are a constant problem on the powerplay. No shot, can't make a play, and can't defend the line.

When was the last time you saw a good shot from a Leafs Dman on the powerplay? All they have is feed Matthews. Teams just pressure the puck and cover Matthews and the Leafs have been unable to adapt for 36 powerplays now, and counting.

Not worried. Willie and Auston on either side with Mitch feeding them and everybody moving. They were doing it before. It'll come

They had a great PP without a point shot before
