What's the difference between a hooker and a crack dealer?

A hooker can wash her crack and resell it.

40 and the Richard are good enough. He’ll want 50 in 50 as the major target next year.

Hey why not 50 in 35 games?



but the 50 in 50 games is a good start.

Yes.

It will be the most epic 1st round collapse ever

The Lightning say "Hi."

Bedard, Wright and Michkov are all excellent. Michkov is 16 years old, 5'10", 160lbs and has a laser for a shot. Holy crap.

Bedard is only 15, 5'9" and 180lbs. I was impressed by his on-ice intelligence. He just seemed shifty, and able to get into good shooting spots all the time.

The crazy thing is that Wright isn't even eligible for the draft until next year, and Bedard and Michkov aren't eligible until 2023.

ladies leave the room, i gotta talk to the fellas for a second

...okay guys - you want a super sweet gift for a lady...get her a mega fluffy and comfy blanky that she can shroud herself in and build herself a little cozy fort with and drag around and be all warm snuggly

get your head outta the clouds with all this stupidly expensive nonsense - TRUE ladies like comfy and smiles and a little mug of cocoa

OK ladies you can come back now we weren't talking about anything

The first thing is that the passes are usually the easy ones that the other team is giving you and they're usually relatively slow and telegraphed. If they want to make it work, they have to operate like they do in 5 on 5 and move the puck more quickly and move it to where the other team doesn't want it. I mean it's a pretty captain obvious answer, but they move the puck around the perimeter slow enough that the goalie and defense can adjust and make sure someone is getting in the way of Matthews and the goalie, and get sticks in the cross-seam lanes.

Successful powerplays are moving the puck quickly in and out and spreading out the defense to create room for a cross seam pass. Most PK defenses want to collapse into a diamond or a box, but it's still a collapsed position protecting the front of the net, and the seams. The Leafs haven't been moving the puck in such a way as to break that collapsed box. Partially because no one fears a shot from the point, so you don't need to expand to pressure the points if you don't want to, but also because the puck is moving so slowly around the the outside, that repositioning isn't drawing people away.

Matthews, Nylander and Tavares are all talented shooters who, with room, opportunity and a quick pass will score more than the average rate.

I saw Marner get dished the puck in Ovi's office like 3 times last night and never once took a one-timer opportunity. He's not a shoot-first guy, despite trying to change up his look this year. Need a shooter there. Could be Matthews too.

You put a one-time threat there and the defense has less of a chance to get in front of that, so they'll overcommit more likely, which in turn opens up other lanes.

No one-timer, no point shot, no bueno.

My girlfriend just came back from Costco.

She decided to buy flowers for my mom and bought some for herself.

My job for Mother's day is done.

I used to love how our daycare would take care of it - they'd always have the kids do some arts and crafts project.

In fact you should sleep in on Sunday and when you wake up, ask why breakfast isn't ready yet.

Not many teams use the one timer along the half boards...it really is only that effective for players with crazy one timers.

Matthews one timer is good but its not like Ovi's where its barely defendable.

Marners passing ability is best served right where he is...as a right handed shooter it takes away a lot of passing opportunities on the left side.

Basically the way its setup is giving them the best possible position to score...its all on the players not executing. We don't need to change it up just to satisfy the common fans need to see novelty...this is a situation where we just hope they start executing because we've seen what the pp can do when they have some confidence to make passes.

Sure.

Not likely.

If I recall (damaged brain), back in the day, I think the Leafs only needed 1 point in their last 7 games or something crazy like that, to clinch a playoff spot. Yeah... you guessed it.

I’m sure someone on here can correct or validate this. #encephalopathyisreal

I bought her a Dyson vacuum cleaner, cuz I’m nothing but class. There’s no better way to say “I love you”, than a new lightweight vacuum so she can clean the floors longer without getting tired.

I think in 2013, the Leafs had 80 points after 68 games. The Wings had 75, Montreal had 79 and Leafs looked pretty good. Then the Leafs went 2-12 in their final 14 and placed 6th below Montreal, Detroit and Ottawa.

Vaccum cleaner was our gift from Santa this year... Dyson V11 Pro cordless.

They aren't cheap but they do a good job and it is way less annoying to vaccum with no cords or canister; worth the money.

Don't underestimate the Leafs' ability to up the ante on epic failures

They'll lose in the first round against a team with half a roster of AHLers and a goalie made out of smashed together steamed hotdogs and used molson ex cups
