Sweden played like a bunch of Nylanders.

Finland was #2 in their pool (although a weak pool).

Sweden was #3 in their pool.

Hard to call it a choke.

Yeah, blew 2 goal lead, but 1-goal lead in the 3rd.

Sweden just didnt battle. Finland might be the better hockey nation at this point.

I'm amazed many fans complain about young stars getting paid big, but are always ok with supporting players who are dime a dozen getting overpaid bad.

People that are poopting kittens over Marner's contract seem to be totally unaware of his stats, or of the phenomenon of the passage of time. They also don't seem to watch hockey.

Alex > William.

Willy said so.

There's a difference between getting paid big and getting overpaid big, though. And one guy on the Leafs is overpaid big.

The arena is an a franking horrible location.

Oh yeah, big time. I’ve been there - just not for a hockey game. Figure skating competition.

The Finns want to make it to the NHL more to escape the impoverished Soviet proxy state.

Marner had 94 points. How the hell is that achieving nothing? Matthews was the most productive 5 on 5 goal scorer since Lindros almost 3 decades ago.

So Marleau deserves his contract at ages 38-40 because he proved himself?

Are the Blue Jackets smarter for locking-up PLD for a cheaper cap? 2 years signed and eh wants out. Good job!

I guess you’re supposed to win the cup to be worthy of a big contract.

Yeah, people born here are whack.

Canada would be higher but you're bringing the national average down

Do you mean 2019-20 or 2020-21?

They gave us the option of refunding the remaining 2019-20 games, but I just told them to put it on the account.

They still haven't collected a dime for 2020-21.
- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah I was wondering about 2020-21. That’s great that they haven’t collected a dime

Rigged!!


I forget which one of these lists just dropped for 2021, but Canada is #1.

Back in about February 2020 they said that we were going to have to start paying for 2020-21.

There was apparently a franking huge backlash from corporate seat and box holders, so they backed off.

They still haven't collected a dime for 2020-21.

Which reminds me of a true Wedgie story:

During one of the lockouts, they had already collected the money for the season. By law, they were required to send us money for the interest they had accrued.

So every month, they were sending me cheques for around $2.

I never bothered to cash any of them, but I did frame one. I used to have it in my office, and I would tell people that I briefly played for the Leafs - that was how much they thought I was worth.
- Atomic Wedgie

That is awesome. I’d like to think I’d do the same

Should have bridged a couple of them and then just let Marleau play out his contract. 🤷🏻‍♂️

- GreatGigInTheSky

He’s probably the next leafs player to get 100 points. It would be great to have them all on team friendly deals but it doesn’t work that way in Canada.

Would it be better to have him wanting out like Laine or Dubois?

If he reads HB it won’t be long and he’ll want out.
