If Kerfoot is taken I want to see all of their supposed alternate takes.
- mjones242

No.

Just out of curiosity... (not to Richard punch you specifically), do the people of seattle consider players from BC to be 'local'?

I see that word a lot, I get that it's right there, but is a different country and they do have their own team which is sure to be a bitter rival after all.

I live an hour from Montana and there is a grand total of exactly zero people from Montana I would consider to be local.

I've literally spoken to people in Montana who couldn't name one city in Alberta.

First of all, I'm going off what other columnists have said, with - what I assume - is more regional knowledge than I have. The last time I was in Seattle was in '92 or so . . . so it's been a while. The people I knew there were fond of Canada, but I don't think they considered it a part of their community. But there is an overall coastal community as well that people do glom onto. You take the East coast as an example of this, and it's very strong there. In the Maritimes they're more nationalistic about it, though. They very likely wouldn't celebrate someone from Maine.

But if guys like Friedman and LeBrun or whoever it was (they were people that you'd respect more than the radio guys or some of the local market guys) were talking that way a month ago, then I was inclined to take it at face value.

No marner isnt as soft as willie....marner can block a shot

I know so many people who get into the latest fad diet. Or they believe inane nutritional ideas because four different 'doctors' said the same thing on youtube. They don't understand algorithms.

Nobody wants to hear the weird, secret trick of being fit. Balanced healthy diet and relentless exercise.

I poop a lot....keeps the pounds off.

To his credit some stuff he finds is good. Like how sugar is too prevalent and its essentially an addiction and horrible for us.

However, otherwise you're right. He claims to eat 1500 calories a day and work out a lot and yet doesn't lose much.
- Aaron_85

yeah sugar is bad poop

it helps so much to find a sport or workout you get really into and just do forever, that's the key imo

Maybe. But is McCann what this team needs? Is he really a Top 6 W? Surely, he's not an answer as a 3C.

Kind of wonder if Dubas galaxy brained this one.

But I've been soaking in skepticism for some time now and may have lost all critical perspective.

Both great.

Marner is He-man in comparison to Willie, wake up birdie. Trade him because he makes too much but don’t embarrass yourself. 🤣

You could make an REM song and dedicate it to Jimmy Tanner...

"Oh no I poo too much. I haven't pood at all. That's Zez in the kitchen. That's Zez on the Toy Let pooing his kung pow chicken. Trying to get a bowel movement and I don't know if he can do it. Oh no he ate too much. He hasn't ate enough."

Seattle picks: Spez-

Spezza: I retire!
- Steven_Seagull

If I’m a GM and the Leafs put Spezza on waivers again this year I’d force the retirement.

Mccann has shown he can play 3C very well.

Scores points higher in the lineup.

Kerfoot can PK but Mccann can play on the PP and is better defensively 5v5.

He fits better on the Leafs although they will need to find 2 new players that can PK with Kerfoot and Hyman gone.

They still grab a C I think. I am watching Dvorak who is a 2nd line 2 way C.

First you're wishing Hyman riches elsewhere.

Now you're retiring Spezza.

Why do you hate us/you so much Garnishment!?

Garnie is just trying to get his boy Giraffe more playing time.

If I was the Leaf GM and TB had a good player playing for $700k and they waived him, I’d claim him...doubly fast if he cries and says he’ll retire.

I’m spiteful.

Some of our fans that bash some of our good guys on the way out need to eat some crow, so that’s why I wish them well.

Like Matt Martin for example, love hearing all the bashing only for him to resign and play more playoff games then us....(frank).

I don’t care, I think it’s a fun joke now.

I do think if he’s used proper *cough - not with stone hands Mikey cough* that he could help the team. I could see him being moved too.

Some Pitts guys saying he’s a better winger, but so was Kerfoot. [/img]

Fair, I was not calling you out. Generally looking for info on that one. I'd be interested in knowing how future krakheads feel about it.

- Garnie

Hmmm yeah I dunno about that one, if Marner and willie drop the gloves I got a crisp 20 on Willie.

Willie looks farm boy strong for some reason, Marner looks like he would be physically overwhelmed from the force of a fart should he take the brunt of it.

My buddy lives in BC and talks about going to Seattle a bit.

I haven’t a clue how far away it is nor care to look. 😬

Matt Martin?! oh you are spiteful ...

I liked him too. Just not at 2.5 per. But ya, you gotta put your Roger/AA blockers on and this place is much more readable.

I’m talking on the ice, I’ve seen Nylander shy away and leave the puck more then any other hockey fellar not named Kessel in my whole life.

I liked Martin here, played not too bad...didn’t just throw the puck away...laid the body, would fight so others didn’t have too, even if he’s gonna get beat up.


Team game, that’s why you spread the salaries out...so we don’t end up with Slow Joe and Offside Simmonds.

But I cheer for them now.
