The AM is going to sign with Arizona talk to me comes from the group of non leaf fans who hate the leafs and never want to talk about the leafs, but always talk about the leafs...so they hope and pray he leaves so they can talk about the leafs and laugh...while also saying ..why is everyone talking about the leafs

That's my favourite. "everyone is always talking about the leafs" from the leaf haters preferring to talk about hating the leafs instead of why they like their own team.

Well I do believe there's a grain of salt because all players say that. However, again, would YOU want to be apart of the Arizona organization? MLSE does way more for their guys than just pay them.

exactly, he even got a free range rover after they took Marner's SUV for not backchecking.

Whats not to love about being able to play in front of 4500 probably not screaming not very diehard fans every night.

the reality is more like....be able to do anything without being surrounded by hardcore fans all the time, have a somewhat normal life. That's why some players love NY...they can be rich and have a "normal" life. You definitely don't get that in Canada as an NHL star, even worse in TO or MTL where fans are....hmmm....insane.

new blog everyone

something you know quite well. eh.

My description -

downtown is mostly deserted, other than their drug addicts/homeless on the streets. There was a park downtown, you could literally look out at night, and see the odd glow of a lighter here and there, in various locations. I'm told that's homeless/addicts lighting up pipes. In the morning, I went for a walk to get a coffee. Downtown, middle of a business week, 8am. 20 minute walk, saw a handful of people, maybe.

There really isn't much there. The weather is legitimately horrendous nearly the whole year.

The housing? I took a cab from airport to downtown hotel. Basically, in the entire drive, I saw nothing but what you would consider a small 70s bungalow in any other city, the entire drive. miles and miles of unimpressive bland small bungalows, with nobody anywhere.

In fact, when I went to leave, I wanted a slice of pizza, so grabbed my bag, had 3 hours before flight, and started walking. I thoguht I would find a pizza joint, and then hail a cab. Walked about an hour. 1 pizza joint, and they wouldn't sell a slice, said they only did delivery. on top of that, I simply couldn't get a cab. Downtown. I think they maybe had a rule that they don't pick up people hailing on the street or something. But it took another 10 minutes of walking just to find a shop that would call a cab. Ate at the airport.

EDIt - just for fun, I went on youtube and found a video somebody made of their trip to winnpeg. Look at this video, and note, in the entire video tour of winnipeg, you can count the number of people you see on the streets on one hand.

Quite the glowing review.

There's a good chance his mom, aunt, sister and cousin are all the same person.

It's the NYR I worry about. They already the 1G and 1D in place. They would be unstoppable with Matthews, and he would be the King of New York.
