Yeah, it's (frank)ing gross. Her smoking was the reason I left living at her place back in the day. And she's a smoke everywhere smoker, not a only outside smoker.

The Leafs really are bad for peoples health.

They are

And I smoked outside thankfully… never liked smoking inside or smoking while walking, etc. Quit for my two weeks stay in the hospital. I knew it was nothing more than a habit for me so I ended it this year to help flood it with positivity.

Then the damn leafs lost in the first round, almost went back to my neurosurgeon and asked him to remove more to kill my memory

Yup. She gets them from Costco.

So not only disgusting but stupidly expensive.

We’re in London so we have neighbours who hit the reserve close to the city and can grab a carton of smokes for $25

Thankfully I’m not allowed to drive due to epilepsy or I might have tried that myself lol

the three team trade is;

Toronto gets Brady Tkachuk and Drake Batherson
Arizona gets Mitch Marner
Ottawa gets naming rights for the new Quebec franchise, once the Coyotes sale is completed and moved to Quebec

Of course you can run for Prime Minister. If it’s close and you’re prepared to form a coalition with Drexel’s Drexoid Freedumb Party you just might pull it off. Don’t worry about positions, you can steal from the Rhinoceros Party. Their platform includes making “Sorry” the official motto of Canada, selling advertising in the Senate and House of Commons and redrawing the provinces so that they’re all rectangles likes Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan isn’t a rectangle

a carton goes for , what like $120 unless you get them on the reserve.

When I was paving in AB there was a guy on our crew from Hamilton area who buys native cigarettes from Caledonia. He filled up the entire box of his Dodge Ram with boxes of smokes, and sell them to people at work. Guys would walk around with freezer bags full of smokes everywhere, and smoke one after another. Every cigarette butt on the side of the highway in EDM has the “Legit” label from Caledonia. It’s most disgusting lifestyle I’ve ever seen.

Wrecked Angle?

what's happening with Tkachuk?

not signed yet. does he hold-out?
- dmnted

Tkachuk, Batherson, Watson, 1st for Nylander, Robertson, Liljegren, Engvall, 2nd.

- Dozzer

Lol far more accurate.

They should really look into fixing that SK/MN border, it’s a disaster.

How dare you get rid of Nylander!! Looks like he’s going to be about $100K cheaper per season!!

Really? What’s wrong with the border these days?

Great TSN article by Travis Yost. Looks at possibility that this might be last dance year for Leafs. Points out that as the top of the line up has taken up more of the cap dollars, bottom six forwards, defence and goaltending have all gotten weaker every year for the last three years.

It does raise the question that if the Leafs stumble again this year, how do they begin to realign the imbalance in their salary structure?

Every little bit helps I guess. Our management team needs to do a better job at “finding” cap space, they arent the cap circumventing superstars I thought they’d be.

As for the border, it’s zigzags back and forth like a million times, it was made back when they sucked at surveying

Read that earlier myself and I think he’s done this topic deliberately for attention.

My wonder is will they change the coaching first or the players? I do firmly believe that Dubas will be given at least one opportunity for a significant change… what that change is I won’t pretend to know however

That's hilarious. There's a lot of bad Leaf memories to cut out.

I think there’s more urgency than some people realize. As long as they keep 34/16 they’ll have a chance to compete for a cup imo. Defence as always been their Achilles heel, letting Rielly walk would be disastrous. I know this isn’t a popular opinion, but the Tavares signing wasn’t a good idea. He’s don’t nothing wrong but it’s about balance. There’s so much wrong with this team, but it could all be forgotten if they go on a deep run.

God help you or Travis Yost if you actually believe this defense is worse than the Barrie/Ceci days.

And good ones too!!!

They just never succeeded

I loved belfour in the net for instance

I don’t think Rielly is that good. Can he be? Yes… is he consistently? No.

Let the young guys take the offensive role and sign UFA’s who have strong points of shutting teams down

Right on. I don’t miss blazing, but I’m a helluva joint roller. I feel like one of my greatest assets is going to waste now that I don’t smoke anymore.

They definitely need to figure how to defend better as a team. I though Brodie and Muzzin were supposed to be those guys. The forwards have to help out more, but I agree that Rielly needs to work on that.

It is certainly a provocative piece. It has some meaning for all teams.

I think the loss of Hyman has brought about lots of speculation around the grit vs skill arguments. Also the success of Tampa in Cup play where their 3rd line was so noticeable and a huge difference maker the deeper the Bolts went in their playoff run.
