I was pretty bummed

This will be the last time we order from this place, because we’ll now be off cape cod for the the rest of the summer and their onion rings are THE BEST

- RickJames77


Love me some good onion rings. Best I've ever had were from John Andersons Burgers.

There was one on my way home from Birchmount (my high school), so I'd grab a small on my way home a lot of days.

Until it closed down and turned into a (frank)ing sushi place.

Ok

Like I said, I struggle to see why you have confidence and “like” one goalie who has played 30 games at 26 years old and one who has never been even a top 25 goalie in the league. Ever.

And the gap between defence is no where near as large between the gap between the forwards.

And yes that matters. A lot.

It’s fine that we disagree, but you can see why I am questioning you here. There’s a heavy drop off In talent after Dubois, Jones and Werenski.

Matthews, Rielly, Nylander, Marner, Tavares, Muzzin

Yeah it’s not close. Can CBJ win? Yes

On paper though? There is a clear advantage here.

Santo, if what someone was saying what I was, I’d be arguing the same points you are. I’m not saying you’re wrong and I’m not even looking for an argument. I’ll take the better defense as I’ve said a few times. If it turns out this looks like the beginning of the regular season, then the leafs might win. They have a great chance of winning anyways. I’m NK expert. None of us are. All I’m saying, is I’m taking the Jackets. You can’t tell me I’m wrong. If the leafs beat the jackets go ahead and throw it my way, but guess what? I really don’t care. It’s my non NHL working opinion and it’s no different than anyone else’s here.

Also, I’m looking for an air fryer. Which did you get and do you recommend it?
- RickJames77


This is the one I got-



It's good. Took a bit to get used to, though. 'Cause I was used to my deep fryer. When making my own wedges, with the deep fryer, you gotta use more spices because the oil removes a lot of it. But with the air fryer, you gotta use a lot less spice, since it's not gonna come off.

But how was the lobster roll?

We were going to do a week on the Cape this summer while the kids were at camp.

Yeah, no.

We have a Labrador.

About a month ago, we went out to the front porch to ring bells for the frontline workers.

Came back, two chicken breasts and as steak were gone.

She spent the night in the basement washroom, and we haven't had an incident since.

She knew how mad I was.

- Atomic Wedgie

My girl went strait to her crate. I don’t even try to do that intentionally. To be honest, dogs don’t understand punishment. At least form what I’ve read and again I’m no expert. We have a Bernedoodle puppy right now too. She’s a piece of work.

Minny are a bottom 7 team in the NHL.

Their backup goalie got hot.

I honestly think this "Leafs haven't won since 2004" has been built-up so much people have convinced themselves the Leafs are so bad they can't win a series. It's illogical and could only happen to the Leafs.
The Blues won the cup last year and MISSED THE PLAYOFFS the season prior.

Columbus winning last year now is a nice memory but so irrelvelant.

Leafs are a major cup contender.

I miss my Bernese
- jimi james

You thinking of getting another one jimmy? My mom loves my Bernese, but can’t deal with the shedding or size. She got the mini bernedoodle, which is ~50lbs and she acts just like a Berner. Knowing your love for a Bernese and I understand that,I’d suggest getting the real breed again, but the doodle is a great option if you are looking for a similar dog with different traits.

- Atomic Wedgie

Wedge, our house is in Brewster. It’s such an awesome town. You have two options in and around here. Breakwater and Jt’s Seafood. Go Jts for fried seafood, but go to breakwater if you’re looking to get lobsters or any other seafood to cook yourself. The bike path that goes through this area is awesome. You go from Dennis to wellfleet.

Yup. I'm not sure that goaltending is sustainable. That's where people underrate the Leafs record under Keefe. He got the 8th best record out of them with a ton of injuries and the goaltending was 30th out of 31 teams.
- RogerRoeper

Coaching doesn’t play it’s not sustainable either then. CBJ had injuries & not using it as an excuse. Toughest division in the NHL. Same points. Not cherry picking to suit a narrative just the facts you left out. Put yer pom poms away lol

Will be a good series either way.

Leafs had injuries and to more important players. The 2 teams ahead of the Leafs in their division were 1st and 3rd overall in the league.

Coaching makes a huge difference. It did with Keefe in the regular season using the same roster as Babcock.

Leafs stars were underplayed. That won't happen again. Columbus had Panarin getting 5-6 minutes more per night than Matthews in the 1st round last year FYI

We need to score on our chances, we have the shooters.

CLB had better Expected Goals both games they played us this year, so regardless of the change of personnel they’re far from being a pushover, but we should beat them.

Zero chance I’m taking all Leafs in my pool this year, so that should help their chances of a long run.

It’ll be up to the tending, so Jackets in 2?

The phrase "On paper" is meaningless. It's as useful as, and worth about....a piece of paper. Are some of the Leafs more skilled and talented than Columbus players? Yes. Does that necessarily make the Leafs a "better team"? Nope.

After 8 months from putting her down, I got a pure bred Border Collie...she's 2 now...totally different breed from a Bernese.
