I wish I could remember who it was, but there was a great story a few years ago about a Leafs defenceman who was sent down to the A.

At the time, the farm club was the St. John's Maple Leafs. The kid "got the message", and got an apartment next to Mile One Arena. For that season, his entire life was a 3 block radius - the arena, the gym, his apartment. He finally figured out that being a pro took a higher level of dedication.

Sadly, I can't remember who it was.

He may have just found a way to curb impure thoughts. It's the thought sins that are the toughest. Just ask any sheep farmer.

I knew the second you said Komarov was a mere mortal, that your talent analysis should not be trusted.

They did last summer in PEI.

It ended up with April punching Elisha's lights out.

Robin Steele's buddy saw the whole thing.

The whole teams sucked is not a valid arguement when it comes to Reimer, he's supposed to do it all by himself in the seventh game.
Oh we're not talking about that

Oh, I know.

I know all too well.

Fantastic restaurants in that little town, too.

I spent a week there at a conference in 2002. Had a terrific time.

Fun fact: I forgot to pack cufflinks, and I had brought some french cuff shirts, so I tried to buy a pair in St. John's.

At least in 2002, you could not buy a pair of cufflinks anywhere in St. John's.

I'm pretty sure that's because people who wear cuff links in St. John's tend to get beaten up.

guess who else sucked since the mid of last season.
THE WHOLE TEAM
Even reimer.
I posted a month by month stats of Reimer and Bernier of last year. They pretty much alternated every month since Jan as to who was the crappier goalie. However, from November to December it was Bernier (or it may have been October to November). But Bernier finished with better stats overall.

But I agree the two year deal was bad judgement.
Reimer is playing better now, keep him in. Play Bernier once in a blue moon to improve his performance....if it does

Pavelec out for 3-4 months apparently - time to take advantage of the Jets and send them James - getting back home.

There's a huge flaw that makes me question the validity of this story.
