It's completely (frank)ed up.

And I've said that numerous times already, I'm pretty sure that game seven against Boston is at the root of this (frank)ing mess.

Nah.

Remember, the '18 wheeler off the cliff' was the season PRIOR to the Boston choke job. Boston was but another symptom of the rot that is this core. They didn't proceed to meltdown in the next two seasons because they blew it against Boston. All the meltdowns, collectively, demonstrate the same thing - the core is, and always was, fatally flawed.

You simply cannot assemble a core comprised of the castaways from other teams.

Shanahan scouting the Kingston game tonight. He just walked into the restaurant I'm currently eating at. Any Fronts/ Battalion players in the Leafs draft positions?

Rangers - Nash, Marty St.Louis , Ryan McDonagh or is that a stretch?

later round steal?

Riley Bruce D Battalion (OHL) 6' 6" 207lbs?

can do without his 4 points

Have you been to china? There is (frank)ing moths everywhere. I'm not poopting you. It's crazy. Little (frank)ers too. And they eat everything made of fabric.

The chinese that move to NA don't realize we don't have the same problem. Hard habit to break I guess.
- bloatedmosquito

that may have been your personal experience.... perhaps the moths (insects in general) were attracted to you for some particular reason.

been there a few times... never experienced much in the way of moths.

I sincerely doubt Crouse goes as highly as he's ranked... and the Leafs are not looking at a player like that ... it should be a skill choice as the first priority.

they already have Tyler Biggs.

nah... go with my kid ... not quite as tall 6'5" but 226 ... definitely has his father genetics and a developing Joe Thorton - Brian McCabe sized back-side.... but he won't ready for the draft for another year.

I really don't know what my wife has been feeding that kid....

Connor Brown final OHL season: 45g-83a-128p

Dylan Strome this year : 45-84-129

I am not saying Brown is or will be as good as a probable top 5 pick but for sure would have been a first rounder if the scouts had projected him a little better.

Getting him in the 6th round was like finding a wallet

You have to compare draft year vs draft year. Connor Brown wasn't even a point a game player in his draft year.

Good point, all I am saying is the guy has enough skill to have won the OHL scoring title last year and is currently leading the AHL in rookie scoring and is 11th overall in the AHL two points out of 5th.

Not bad for a 6th rounder and I doubt he would have fallen to the 6th round had the scouts projected his offensive upside.

Quite well given his size. He's improved a lot on that end and is a hardworking kid.

well, yeah, me too. But mostly because what's written there is pretty accurate.

I think I started saying this stuff like last year. The only LOL is that someone is so late to finally say it.

Reminder like every other year... Leafs sucks! That's for Dozzer for banning me for no reason last time.

Tampa will wilt under our offense......oops sorry thought this was December.

Eating salary is the only way you move him. But I don't think he will be moved til next year.
