Give Teemu's steakhouse in Laguna a go if you get out here sometime.. I'm taking the couple TO boys down there Friday night to watch the Ducks along with the Leafs play SJ... It's pretty spectacular.

Seems like a long way, maybe I'll just get Teemu to come to Toronto and make me a steak instead

Why not? They likely won't see him again until Xmas and its US Thanksgiving. Kids aren't in school for the next few days.
- Aaron_85


I’d be shocked if they did… 3h 45min flights they wouldn’t have even known about it yesterday

Also I don’t even think he’d be allowed to see them because he has to stay with nobody except the team itself while on the road still no?

How do you upgrade Kerfoot without spending more or losing his versatility?

You don’t.

As long as half the cap is already spent in the top two lines don’t expect anyone else with a significant contract or they would have signed Hyman.

- Dozzer


If they really need a skilled LW, then they take a chance late in the season and lose the versatility. They spend more by moving him and someone else. They need to be able to score 5v5. If they decide weak LW is holding that back, they’ll do something. They can give Bunting some more time in the first and Kerfoot has had some very good stretches.

As I said other than the top 4 paid forwards and Rielly Kerfoot is number 6 in team scoring.

Most versatile effective forward they got not making 7+ million.

He won’t be the one that goes. Not a chance.

Also, how does trading kerfoot make space for a forward making more than him, yes, even at the deadline the leafs only take a part of the contract on but they only get rid of part of Kerfoot’s as well.

They can’t afford a couple hundred thousand let alone a couple million more.

You love the chocolate chip muffins at Tim Horton's. I always knew you were sick, but I didn't think you'd actually admit something like that.

The best hockey player food joint is Momesso's in Montreal
- TheMussel


Never been there, what kind of food? When I went to a Leaf game in Boston, a Broons fan friend of mine took me to this joint owned by Ray Bourque. Was pretty good. Bourque looks like he's well fed these days. Couldn't fit him and Byfuglien on the same elevator without exceeding capacity.

Kerfoot is valuable to Leafs simply because his salary combined w/ skill set is not something that is easily replaceable in trade or on open market... He's not the guy they should be looking to move.

The best two way player on the team who can play both the wing and center, and both the PK and PP

6th overall in scoring on the team and makes a lot less than anyone in the top 5

Okay, I'm abstaining from Blue and White Kool Aid, taking off the Blue and White glasses, and just considering tonight's game strictly from a hockey perspective. And I do not like LA's chances in this one whatsoever. They used all their luck stealing a win in Toronto last time.

6-0 Leafs, Matthews hat trick, Richard Ritchie, Simmonds, William Nylander.

It's a bit of a hole in the wall joint but it's fantastic

Italian sandwiches, burgers, and poutine

http://momesso.ca/our-menu/

Not sure if it qualifies actually, he didn't start it up with his hockey winnings, it's his dad or whatever that opened it up

I like the guy and won’t pretend to try to work out every scenario but at some point versatility becomes less important if they can trade it for an upgrade in skill. And if it costs more than Kerfoot, than they move more than Kerfoot.

I’m not saying this happens. I just don’t think it makes sense to says it’s impossible because he’s versatile.

Lots of good sandwich shops in Montreal I might check it out next road trip there. It's appropriate for Momesso for sure, wasn't a great player, just a big salami that hung out in front of the net.

Momesso's ain't too far from downtown, and Cafe Milano is a must if you're out that way for some whatever bizarre reason

Unless another versatile player comes back he never goes.

Every team needs a guy like him, one who can be plunked into any spot of the roster due to an injury. No way the leafs throw that away to get a a guy with a couple dozen more points. The leafs don’t need that. They have an incredible powerhouse of players when it comes to offence already. They need versatility more tbh.

Honestly I don’t consider any fast food items special. Lol

Unless it’s one of my long hospital stays… I remember my mom and gf bringing it to me so my opinions about fast food (Wendy’s, McD’s, Timmy’s, etc) was WAY above my normal opinion compared to hospital food

Sour cherry muffins from Hurst Bakery in Aurora are pretty tasty. They also make a decent key lime pie, but as good as the ones you can get in Key West.

I can only imagine... spent a week in the hospital couple of years ago and I just age apples and yogurt

Would have killed for a bowl of kraft dinner (after a week)

I'm there.

Godamn Key Lime pie is my raison d'etre. We're planning our wedding and it might actually be a layered key lime pie instead of a cake
