Cooler than this one?

To me it is.

Admittedly I know nothing about guitars. Just that Neil is the goat and his axe is unlike any other.

Kramer’s are solid guitars, reached a height of glory in the 80s and are still around and are not cheap in any way shape or form. However no, they’re not even close to a Les Paul from the early 50s.

I was a big fan of the acquisition of Timmins. Top draft pick, lots of skill. We shall see if he can turn into something but I like him.

I’ll be the first to admit that I know nothing about guitars..

Reading his biography was a lot to take in, they go in detail about his set-up.. all way over my head. He painted it black I know that..

Just the (frank)in’ sound that thing makes is insane.. When I saw him live in Ottawa (2008ish?) I was on the floor, maybe 40 feet from him, and at the end of the concert after RITFW he goes in a trance, and rips the strings off Old Black.

I thought a portal to hell was opening up, but at the same time I was in heaven.

Oh he is incredible live, caught him once myself and was so happy I did, well not just was because I still am.

That is one sweet Les Paul, a (frank)ing classic of classics. Neil used it beautifully too… bang on for his muddier, lower tone of a sound from those. The difference between it and the Stratocaster (equal guitars from different companies, age wise and quality) is it’s the more lower tone type and the strat is the more cleaner and higher tone. It’s why someone like Neil played the Les Paul and someone like say… Stevie Ray Vaughan played a strat. Both needed and deserved great guitars but just ones that carried different sounds.

I hope TB goes on a crazy run here and takes the Leafs spot.

I don't think facing the Rangers vs Panthers is anything easier, in fact I think the Bruins are the worst team on paper out of all of them and its not close.

But I would welcome something fresh. I am sure the team would too.

Face the NYR and go through the metro.

Agreed with Keefe. And the goalies. But special teams are also a big issue that has sunk them in the past, and it seems to be heading that way again.

The PP is pretty good, albeit inconsistent, but shrivels in the playoffs (I think?) and I believe our PK is the worst of any team currently in a playoff spot.

- UsernameUnknown

So Keefe can take Guy Bouche with him?

Bostons remaining schedule is the hardest in the league. Chances are they get Boston.

Wow, this new Gaylord Whistle I ordered from Temu works like a charm. I blew it for the first time and a Rangers simp appeared.

I'm gonna leave a 5-star review.

- GalacticStone

Doubt it. Been a long time since YOU blew something for the first time.

yo! Douchebag were you even alive the last time the laffs won a cup!? Very weak.! You’re an embarrassment! Your useless team one a playoff round last year for the first time In what ten years? I don’t know for sure because the laffs have been irrelevant for so long I don’t really pay attention unless someone like you tries to talk poop about the mighty laffs! Your nothing but an ahole with a mouth
- Bobd62


His team has won 3 cups in the last 20 years. Your team won one 30 years ago. So they have won a total of 2 in 84 years.

Maybe pick a sturdier hill to make a stand on. Especially if you're throwing out that level of unnecessary vitriol.

Woman I used to play pickup basketball with made this 42 string guitar (the Pikasso) for Pat Metheny.

They have been gritty.

I think we watch the Leafs way too much and over analyze them. You go on twitter and you see Bruins fans get pissed at the exact same things.

Bruins are the easiest matchup, but I am praying for Rangers. Would love something different for once.

I don't know man, I don't think leaving lines constantly the same is really a critical thing like you think it is.
- Zezel

Having comfort and some predictability to your line mates tendencies is key IMHO.

And obviously with injuries and illness the line up has to get shifted around "sometimes".

Keefe is continually doing it. I think it makes a difference to the players and their performance.

I think once all the players from your cup winning team is gone or retired its irrelevant as (frank). Like who cares about something that happened 2 decades ago.

The time is now.

Tampa fans will have a bit of a cup hangover feel, but that will quickly disappear. Just look how angry Pitt fans are this year.

I’ll wait til I see the leafs 2 games against Florida this April before I call Boston the easier matchup. So far the leafs are 1-0-0 against Florida, close ass game, but the leafs still won it. That’s already more than what they got against Boston this year.

Keefe does the blender too much for my liking, but every now and then it has positive results. Domi and Bert have turned things around, but I guess playing with AM has that affect on many.

It’s absolutely shameful that Ovi doesn’t catch more flak than he does being an open supporter of Putin.

Ignorance is complicity. Putin is trying to destroy western civilization, and Ovi supports that. Why doesn’t the league just say, “go play in the KHL if you love Putin so much.”

Ovi makes me sick. So does any person who supports endless death.
