Yeah, but labs need exercise or else’s they get fat. Imo, they’re the best family dog. Seriously chill and loyal.

Border collies are insane.

Whippets/greyhounds are surprisingly great house pets. I might get one..

Border Collies are great. Clever rascals as well. Have to put some effort into training, but they are significantly more intelligent than other breeds. Loyal and loving as well.

Wait, do we know we get the Bruins? Aren’t they doing a round robin thingee?

If I am reading the tweets correctly, seeding hasn't actually been decided yet.

Can anyone explain the new draft lottery? A team ranked 8-15 can still pick 1st overall? Wouldn't a team potentially lose on purpose in the 1st rd of the playoffs?

That’ll be Dubas’s excuse when the Leafs lose the play-in round.

So what’s the point of the round robin for the top finishers?

I know. Very familiar with them.

They’re cool, but they’re too much sometimes. If I had a bunch of property, I’d get the collie just to be friends with the whippet. The whippet would win every round of fetch tho.

I get it, one of them should have just walked away, now instead of a mole hill there is a mountain. She was definitely being a female genitalia but why did he also have to aggrivate
- bobbyisno1


How about she just FVCKING LEASHES HER DOG.

Then there is zero problem.

If the Leafs win the draft lottery on june 26, why try to go further in the playoffs? You can lose that 1st rd pick

Ok I don’t have all the deets..

That’s when the lottery is? I thought the lottery included the loser of the play-in round?

I'm on 11 acres, so walks are no issue. Don't have to deal with yellow tape.

If Leafs win the Lottery - the best they can do is get pick #4. Picks 1, 2 and 3 are reserved for the bottom 7 teams not participating in the round robin.

Edit:

Phase 1 of the Draft Lottery will be conducted prior to the Qualifying Round on Friday, June 26.


Three draws: First Draw (first overall pick), Second Draw (second overall pick) and Third Draw (third overall pick).

Clubs entered: The seven teams that do not return to play, ranked in inverse order of their points percentage at the time of the regular-season pause, and eight “place-holders” to represent the to-be-determined Qualifying Round teams that will not advance, thus maintaining previously-established odds.

We still don’t know details on the round robin/formula for top four seeds in each conference, still don’t know if first two rounds of playoffs (Group of 16; Group of 8) will be best of five or best of seven and whether it’s bracketing or re-seeding.

So if I am doing the math correctly, the Stanley Cup may not be awarded until October.

Damn, the Habs just became favourites.

You’d need space, and commit to walking it.

I also think some small dogs are underrated. You can’t not love them sometimes.

We don't know this yet.

Teams with a bye will okay round robin to determine seeding - and to shake rust off.

Details to follow.

The draft lottery will be done before the play in round.

US owners would like that.

League needs butts in seats - I would imagine empty-arena games will lose money.

Can you imagine being the Seattle owner?

You gave dropped $650 million to start in 2021-22, and there may be 4-6 bankrupt franchises by then, that you could have bought for half that.

I see that Leafs play the winner of the round robin. Hard to see it not being either the Bruins or Tampa - we'll see.

Ha! Does he still swim?

18 months ago, New Year's Day. Took the dog to Cherry Beach dog park on Lake Ontario.

As soon as I let her in the gate, she bolts for the water. Like full on, my fur is on fire, running to the water. We played fetch for an hour.

Plenty of other dogs - mine was the only one swimming. One guy walks by, looks at me, shakes his head, chuckles and says, "Franking Labradors."

She finally quit, and we walked back to he car, as icicles formed on her fur.
