Couple points:

1. Great gift for a woman, or anyone, is a fine quality chef's knife.

2. Who's the second most valuable current Leaf? I'm gonna say Tavares.

1. I got one for Christmas. It wasn't even that high quality. I still loved it. It was the greatest thing. Then a chunk of the blade broke off when I was slicing an old block of Parmesan through the rind. I still wallow in sadness daily. The only reason I haven't replaced it is that I discovered that now I want something out of my price range and don't want to go back to the cheaper options!

2. I see where you're going. I'd love to say Nylander just to piss everyone off, but I have to go with the obvious Marner answer. He kills penalties. He makes players around him better. If I was picking someone else, it would be Hyman, because when his motor goes, he can make any line he's on more effective. He's the ultimate utility tool. He may not necessarily directly generate offense, but he makes everyone around him better.

Gilmour in 92-93 was 7th in league scoring (2nd in assists) and 2nd in Hart Trophy voting.
In 93-94, he was 4th in league scoring (2nd in assists) and 4th in Hart Trophy voting.

Sundin was a consistent top-20 scorer for most of his career in Toronto, placing 4th in NHL scoring and goals in 2001-02; the best he ever did was 8th in Hart Trophy voting.

I would discount Sittler, either. He was probably more effective longer than Gilmour was.

Sittler in 77-78 was 3rd in league scoring (6th in goals in 3rd in assists) and 3rd in Hart Trophy voting. Wrapped around that year he was 9th, 8th, and 12th in scoring in other years, but he was deep in the top-10 in Hart trophy voting (8th,9th) 4 other times.

Salming is the only 1st team All-star from the Leafs I can think of in my lifetime.

If you were born in the first half of 1969 or earlier, you can add Tim Horton.

Otherwise, nobody else.

I'm an August 1970 kid, so . . . nope. It's nice, though, because it's taught me to value mediocrity.

Depends. I'd want to choose my own Chef's knife, personally.

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.

Interesting line from City of Toronto press release (bold is mine):

https://www.toronto.ca/ne...ring-and-into-the-summer/

The City will also continue to respond and triage complaints but reminds residents that the City’s enforcement staff are not first responders. The City continues to give priority to events that pose the greatest risk to health, such as large gatherings or parties. In many cases, bylaw enforcement officers that observe infractions in parks will work to disperse the crowd as the safest and quickest way to protect public health. Bylaw enforcement officers are also focused on stopping people from bringing large amounts of alcohol into public places. Only 69 tickets were issued for alcohol across the City’s 1,500 parks last year. Individuals consuming an alcoholic beverage in a park with their household are not a priority for enforcement.

In other words, don't be stupid.

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.

- Santo_44


I wouldn't say having a one-timer threat there is a novelty; what's a novelty on our PP is not having a one-timer/point shot threat.

Sure.

Not likely.

It gets interesting for me if the Habs lose the next and the Flames win.

I think they win out vs the Canucks

Are we approaching a day when regular folks aren't punished because of the stupidity of a couple of bad apples?

I think pressure will be on. Who will rise and or fall prey to that pressure. As I said, teams lose 3 games in a row all the time. Lots of teams win 5 games in a row. Flames happen to be playing the two worst teams in the North to finish out, and one of them has been Covided, although they looked ok last night after a couple days break, but that’s over now.

What I find funny is that it's 100% legal to smoke dope in a park, as long as you are not near the playground.

But drink a Bud Lite?

Nope, not allowed.

JC I'm old!!!
I remember his son Andrew and some friends skipped class and went to hang at the Salming house. Borje was supposed to be at practice but came home. Andrew locked his bedroom door and you'd swear the house was going to collapse once Borje saw our shoes at the door. His dad came to the bedroom door, was losing it so bad that all of us, girls included, without hesitation jumped out a 2nd story window and ran back to school shoeless Still to this day, he is one of the scariest dudes I ever met

You would think a law against public intoxication would be enough. Nope, we must prohibit people from drinking in public spaces.

Temperance movement bullpoop still woven into the fabric of North American laws long after Prohibition was repealed.
