No, I'm butt-hurt for other reaso... no, I'm not butt-hurt at all.

I just like to stand when I make these replies, okay?!

They call me Mr. Big.

It's barely hockey anymore.

And I'm not one of those people that has an issue with covid restrictions, I am generally a fan of anything that's going to help us get back to life faster.

I am also a fan of common sense.

Your league is playing in one of the most sparsely populated places in Canada, no one has a reason to go anywhere. Barely any of your cities/towns have had a single case.

High five-ing the guys on the bench after you've scored a goal is a penalty. You're literally wearing hockey gloves. 🤦‍♂️

Finally - the era of the silver ballet that the Great Prophet Cherry presciently foretold oh so many moons ago is upon us!

On a serious note: holy (frank) that is pretty insane. This is what happens when you have a reductive, one-size fits all take on managing the situation.

Are those government imposed restrictions or measures put in place by the league to cover themselves against liability issues? Sort of sounds like the latter because it seems like different leagues have different rules.

You've been hearing for 2 years from me. And 1.5 is a big deal for an aging 4th line grinder. We spend oodles of time here whining about our 23 year-old 90+ point forward being ovetpaid that much like it's the end of the world.

Its not the leafs, so why do you care so much?

I would have thought they could get a Martin player for under 1 mil..with the way things are atm.

Only think Ill say is Martin fits with how the Isls play..gets in on the forcheck hard..so whatever...overpay in term and $$...so works for me as a Leafs fan
- senstroll

I'm glad Martin is not making 1.5 on the leafs. But on the isles, he fits their style and the more they overpay players even by 600g's....Im fine with.

Exactly.

What is it with Leafs fans obsessing over everything the Islanders do

Little bit of both. League needs to have policies and rules which are approved by the provincial government...

Could certainly be, and is probably, the latter.

Lou has been demonstrably poop for many years now. This is just more of his late career, massive decline manifesting itself yet again.

Odd how they give a "poop" GM, the GM of the year award.

Lou has these crucial things called results. Leafs should get them before their fans try to attack someone who's gotten them.

More like the Dubas haters are regularly singing the praises of Lou. One even claims the Zaitsev signing was a good idea.

That GM award is voted on by a fraternity of GMs, execs, and media types (41 peeps).

Lou did absolutely Richard all last year to deserve the award but he won because... reasons that are definitely not related to results.

If you have something to offer that proves he's been anything but a disaster in the past 10 years, I'm willing to listen.
