Rick Vaive is a solid dude 👍

Met him at an Alumni game last year and he made time to have a good chat with my son and I

Sounds like his book will be good

- mr.sir

When he was captain of the Leafs, I was his paperboy.

Can’t wait to read the book - apparently it is an unvarnished look at his life.

Funny thing: I always assumed he was about 20-25 years older than me. It wasn’t until about a decade ago I realized he’s only 10 years older than me.

He was living in a 5 bedroom home with a wife. He was the captain of the Leafs. I couldn’t possibly grasp he was in his early 20s.

Yoga is legit though, but yeah there's a lot of commercialization of new agey, fluffiness in it. But it can be a profound spiritual practice too.
- Zezel

I used to have a colleague who would run a yoga class every Wednesday at lunch (small donation suggested to United Way). Oh my gosh, she kicked arses. It was a brutal strength workout.

She transferred and another woman took over. It was all new age shyte - breathing techniques to help you focus on achieving your goals, mental visualization, relaxing to cleanse your spirit, blah blah blah.

So franking disappointing.

I still can’t believe someone hasn’t offer sheeted Sergachev. I know, I know...offer sheets rarely happen, but man, you’d think this might be the year with the pandemic.

- RickJames77

Teams may have offer sheeted players. But the player still has to sign it. Sergachev likely doesn't want to leave Tampa. So he's waiting for Brisebois to move salary which is easier said than done. Tampa has no leverage. Who wants 4 years of a declining Tyler Johnson at 5 mil AAV? Who wants 5 more years of Yanni Gourde at 5.3 mil AAV? Even Killorn has 3 more years left at 4.4 mil AAV. The NTC's make it even more difficult.

My guess is it's a shortened regular season and Brisebois places Stamkos on LTIR and then he miraculously returns for the Playoffs like Patrick Kane did years ago after Chicago traded for Vermette. I expect Sergachev, Cirelli and Cernak to accept bridge deals. It'll likely be for much less than what most people think they should get.

I'll have you know that there are plenty of example in the NHL of very successful players of small stature who only needed one phone book on the bench to see the entire ice.
