"Bottom line is we are all but guaranteed a lottery pick. There were no good FAs out there, but the lack of trades ensures bottom 5 for sure. Even with the east and our division getting worse, its the same central core with less depth (didnt think it possible). Im not a pessimist, just a realist"

- clark_griswold

"So, being a realist, you think that a team that missed the playoffs because of poor defensive play, lack of passion, and losing their #1 goalie to injury, that has now improved their defense, and added guys who play with lots of energy, is going to be worse than they where last year(3rd best in the east prior to losing Bernier)- to the point where they are guaranteed a lottery pick.

Yup. Realistic. "

See Pedan get iced by Bickel?

Part of the reason I'm lobbying for Stu to help the #GoonTank

That was scary. I've seen Pedan take care of a lot of players but he got clocked in his latest fight. Can't win them all I guess. But he's the kind of player the canucks need more of.

You can count on Prince and The President being a part of that crowd.

Can't we be happy that the team collapsed earlier enough to get a top 5 pick, and that Ottawa is currently pulling Toronto's trick of winning tons in the final 30 games only to fall short of the playoffs, and that team management actually realizes they need to trade their assets for futures and build a team through the draft for the first time in forever to quote my favourite Frozen song?

The (frank), man? That song is < Let it Go.


And that Reindeer are better than People song was pretty female dogin, too.

ouch.

I know right.

But I kinda feel bad for gluck... no one here expects his nonsense to be brought back to him 8 months after saying them....

Clark mother(frank)ing Griswold sure didn't

Don't believe him, just ask him!

Guy sure as hell won't let you forget
- TheThrill

Never forget..I got called every name in the book and how "I dont know hockey".

Where is jvr_42_pk81? Just a few weeks ago he was laughing and saying I was wrong because leafs were bottom 6 not bottom 5...

He needs to lighten up a tad.

Do you think the Leafs win one more game? Maybe the Buffalo one. They can go 0-11 the rest of the way.

I know right.

If I've learned anything from being married, it's that there is no statute of limitations on stupid.. If I can still get in trouble for forgetting my mother-in-laws birthday 2 years ago, Gluck can also have anything brought back up..

Rule applies.... Clarky wins...

But in all fairness Bickel is around 8 years older and has played a couple of seasons in the NHL. When he played in junior, one season he had 215 minutes in penalties.

Pedan's 21 and leaning the trade.

I know right.

He totally wouldn't deserve it if not for the "Yup. Realistic " condescension included at the end of the post.

He won't learn it lying face down on the ice very many times.

Hey,, I didn't throw rocks at you, don't put us all in the same section.

and most people didn't expect the Leafs to be this bad, either.

poop happen... I know you're all shocked that I was wrong, but it's been known to happen.

Just PM it to the people you believe wronged you so we don't have to read it every 10 minutes.
