Wait. Calgary needs to fix their defence after losing one of their top guys? They should have thought of that.
- Canada Cup

Ya, I get your smarter than the rest with your sarcastic quip.

The way it's going now, we're losing him for nothing any way. We are on this multi-year, winning the Cup every year run.

You know the last 5 years of winning the Cup for sure but then not making passed the 1st round while letting all of our UFA assets walk for free cuz we be WINNING fOr suREsies, no take backs....ya that one.

If you can do Rielly for Tkachuk...both one year left, one a controllable RFA...you do it. If any one thinks you don't, you're an idiot. Sorry in advance.

You guys think Holl is a "fine" #4 so go with:

Muzzin, Brodie
Sandin, Holl
Dermott/NEW CHEAP GUY, Lily/ANOTHER NEW CHEAP GUY
Marincin

A top line of Tkachuk, Matthews, Marner would be awesome.

...since you guys think Marner needs to have a supplemental player even though he is a $11m guy. There he is. Why not get someone with talent that is going to stop him from peeing his jock in the playoffs.


Can't have it both ways CC. Lose Marner fix the team OR fix the team around Marner??? Pick one FFS.

I've had a lot of potential exposure to Covid and I'm a potential vector to some people like my brother and mother who would be highly vulnerable if they were infected, so I've followed best practices as recommended by my buddy who works directly with Covid patients in the hospital.

You're doing it all wrong, there's tons of YouTube videos about how you need to lick toilet seats covered in Covid or you're not a real man

And chili flakes and parmesan cheese, but they have to be served in those bulbous shakers they have ad old-school Italian restaurants

And a giant piece of fluffy crunchy garlic bread
- TheMussel

Chili flakes and fresh parm for me and garlic bread made just by cutting the garlic clove in half and scraping it on the crusty bread. Dip in olive oil.

So we just tanking now?
- Leafs43

Huh?

says the “former pothead” who makes stuff up all the time.
- jribout

Done!

and that plus would be Amirov or Robertson and possibly a high draft pick
- dmnted

Are we winning the Cup this year like the last 4 or not?

If we are winning the Cup, drain the cupboards. If we're not, then stop letting real NHL assets walk for nothing. How 'bout that.

I just ate dinner and I'm hungry again
- TheMussel

I had picadillo with some rice and beans tonight. Might have to go back for seconds after this brief back read

With this team if you could add Tkachuk might just be enough.
- bobbyisno1

Yep, we agree Bobby.

Huh?

It was a comment suggesting that losing Rielly and using the cap space up on yet another winger would result in the Leafs doing poorly this year. (Tanking)

If you hate Holl as a #4 - you will despise him as a number 3. Especially when paired with Dermott or some other 3rd pairing guy.

Couple that weak ass defense with ok (but not amazing) goaltending, and it really doesn't matter how good our offense is. We will be a lottery team.

Love how you guys must defend yourselves for being responsible. Using mask to protect yourself and your loved ones is obviously treason.

Everyone is the same
- TheMussel

I've been back for like 3 days and it honestly looks like nothing has changed in here.

Exact same things as when I left. Crazy.

Is that punishment for just a single mask?

Have you even once contributed anything relevant to an actual hockey discussion on this forum? Ever?

You're useless. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah, we’re not winning with that.

Ruin your top prospect with this one simple trick.

That looks very cheap.

You're planning for another $10M forward?

I don't think we're winning with Rielly in it. We've all been fans long enough to know where that really weak third pairing gets you. 🤮

Probably my death row meal would be the biggest plate ever of spaghetti with Italian-American style Sunday Gravy with the sausage, veal/pork/beef meatballs and porkchops in the sauce.

I'd go meal smorgasbord. Or maybe a Full-Course made of my favourite foods. Toriko style -

Hors d'Oeuvre- Pub Nachos
Soup- Ramen
Fish Dish- Fish & Chips (I ain't a big fish/seafood guy, like, at all)
Meat Dish- BBQ Ribs and spicy sausage
Main Course- Chili
Salad- Caesar salad
Dessert- Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins and Banana Bread my mom makes (best you'll ever have)
Drink- Pints of Sapporo

More people hate dubas tho
- TheMussel

Did that start when he traded for Folingo? 'Cause man, that was never a good trade.

Holy (frank) that’s bad.

Loljegren isn’t an NHL caliber defenseman. Sandin is not ready for 20+ mins a night. Leafs desperately need to lock up Rielly. But since Dubas got taken to the woodshed with the core 4 already, he’ll be looking to not be made a fool of.

Oh. Gotcha.

Just for the record, I don't think we're winning the Cup this year. Not with the flat Cap and imbalance of our line up.

I think we need to tweak a lot more and stop losing assets for nothing.

Maybe that's where I disagree with most of you. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Was listening to a top research doctor talking about how the mRNA vaccines are the most effective, safest vaccines, with by far the biggest clinical trial dataset and the biggest real world dataset ever conducted, developed in 1/8 the average time for vaccines. No vaccine in history has ever shown side effects after the two month period, so we know we are good. The adverse event reporting systen is not adjudicated, so it's likely from trials that virtually no one has died from the vax.

One of humanity's most elegant achievements and a perfect triumph of science. And people will look back and just wonder why these huge swaths of people wouldn't take them and perpetuated the pandemic. This should be over now.
