Oh ya, I always thought it was a joke when we were dating but we’ve been married 12 years and it’s a real thing.

Her aunt has the same thing with birds but I don’t think it’s hereditary but just a weird ass coincidence.

She also has no problem killing birds. She would be someone that shoots the bird as people are “bird watching.”

I read some rumors that Dubois still wants out.

A team could really get a bit of a steal I think here.

Big metal block that appeared along Humber Bay. Some balloonheads already grafitti'd it. But then other people scrubbed it. I'm gonna check it out tomorrow.

The Leafs are now the second oldest team on average, in the league.

Doesnt feel like a winning formula..

I think their avaerage age is skewed by having a few guys in their last year, who will likely play low minutes and may even sit out games. So it's misleading. Their core guys are all hitting their prime. It also helps that Jumbo and Spezza are former elite players so they are still useful at that age.

I just have visions of Thornton getting beat constantly.. I cant see how he helps. Spezza is barely an NHL caliber player anymore. I guess you have t take what you can get when all your money is tied up in 4 players..

I thought Spezza was great in his role last year! I didn't see a single Thornton game.

And who gets to make that decision. You?

The ACLU got it right in the Skokie Case. Cancelling bad ideas is a direct violation of freedom of speech.

Let bad ideas be exposed, debated, challenged, and ultimately defeated by better ideas.

- mjones242


Yesterday’s discussion but what the (frank). Pure “freedom of speech” is constrained all the time, yelling fire in a theatre, hate speech laws are examples where government places such limits. In each situation, the cost of constraining freedom of speech is considered to be less harmful than that of allowing the speech. Governments elected by all of us debated and voted on those decisions.

Similarly, private corporations are free to decide that they don’t want to provide a platform to someone whose views they find either morally or commercially repugnant.

Finally, it’s not just bad opinions floating around that are causing problems. We’re also living in a world driven by misinformation, much of it driven by fringe types like Alex Jones but increasingly by more mainstream players like Fox and Trump. It’s hard to debate people who are, for example, are still convinced that the election was stolen. There are a large percentage of the 74 million Trump voters who resemble UG, Max, Kaptaan, etc who are not really open to debate.

Every team fills out their line up with guys earning league minimum. Remember Luke Shenn, Bogosian, Maroon on the Lightening last year?

Tell me what imaginary 3rd or 4th lines are going to be beating whatever 3rd or 4th line Thornton is on. Or do you think he suddenly got slow?

Jumbo is really slow. Thats not going to play out well in a shortened season when every game matters.

Defence you can be a little slower as long as youre in position. but theres a limit to it
