If a player is turning a certain age during the season thats what I call them for the year.

Letang will be 37 this season.

And its apples and oranges. 36, 37, 38 is all old as (frank) for a hockey player.

For an "old as FK" player, Crosby averaged 88 points and 32 goals over past 2 seasons and only has an $8.7M cap hit.

Yeah... terrible.

People female doged about it all last year. I thought it was great. Everyone seemed happy whenever it was played.

I’d hope so, it’s only played when they score a goal

Don’t be sensitive, never said they were terrible.

Just not good enough to make the playoffs. Just like last year. Age caught up.

Well people(me too) have been predicting their downfall for years.

But also Sens and Sabres fans have been saying they are playoff teams for a few years as well…

If nothing changes again you will be in luck.

In my opinion Ottawa still sucks, but look out for the sabres.

again I get the need to point a finger at a specific thing.
but I dont care about that stuff.

the Jays didnt score any runs. and if they reverse the trade, i dont think it changes a thing

- senstroll


The trade happened, nothing can change that, I'm still optimistic that Varsho will be an excellent long term CF for the Jays. My issue with the hitting is that it was floundering all year, the Jays did nothing to address the Batting coach with Mattingly on the bench. The GM did half a job by shoring up the already strong bullpen and ignoring the hitting entirely. Adding a big clutch bat - such as Bellinger (who at one point was avaliable - with his 4.0WAR vs. puny WAR for virtually every Jay hitter except Bo) It was very disappointing. The most glaring need was simply ignored to save $

Anyone else hoping there's a chance Kane would come here at the thought of playing with fellow Americano Matthew's?

Oh ya for sure.
The benefits of signing ohtani could extend beyond his contract when over. The Jays could reap the rewards for years.

- Fakepartofme


Absolutely. And Japan has proven time and again that it's truly a hotbed for talented Baseball players.

And as a side, there is literally no downside for the team. Yeah, you've giving him an absolutely insane amount of money, but they'd make so, so much more from it. Ticket sales would go up even higher than they already were. Sponsorships with basically every Japanese product.

Definition of a win/win.

My brother wants it to be Oops I did it Again by Brittney Spears.

Speaking of my brother; he got hit by a car today, trying to walk into a store. Old lady jumped the curb and hit him. His pregnant girlfriend was just behind him. Thank (frank) he held her back. She's due within the week. And he's alright, too. Just banged up.

I'm with you on this, the only issue I see is that he will likely want to get a reasonable paycheck. Leafs are tight against the cap. Unless they throw a player with some cap overboard (Brodie comes to mind) there really isn't much hope of signing him. Also if they did unload Brodie, they would need another d-man

I think go after Teo.
Bellinger could be a filler as well, theyve tried to get him before.

- Fakepartofme


I'm almost positive the Yankees will sign Bellinger.

Adds one bat at the deadline and it's (frank)ing Paul DeJong.

Did excellent with the bullpen but just abysmal with a hitter.
