I remember having a 2 stroke bike as a kid (public school grad gift) and my dad’s buddy who set it up for me told me it needed to be 32:1

Dad told me when we left with the bike in his pickup to just accept anything between 30-50:1 lol

Yeah, it’ll burn hahah.

Luckily I don’t have to mix it for my sled. My boat and auger idgaf just toss some oil in the gas, giver a shake and you’re golden.

100% we're reaching dangerous territory for his job.

No way man. Not even close yet. That's not how Shanny conducts business. He keeps as many bullets in the chamber as he can for as long as he can.

Is Marner playing? I figure for $11 mil I should notice him out there!?
- Bullot


He's the leading the league in back passes.

The way Shanny has been conducting business hasn't been effective yet, so eventually someone at MLSE is going to realize he's the common denominator. He'll sacrifice Keefe to save himself unless they turn this around.

Well Nylander doesn’t get you Josi. And Sammy and Cowan certainly it don’t get you juicy
- drexel

Nylander might at this point.

This gives NSH the ability to get younger, more skilled, and brings in a Russian goalie to play with Askarov.

If they tank and get a prospect like Celebrini then they’re suddenly a good team with a lot of upside.

Having defenceman who can actually play defence might prove to be a critical part of that strategy too.
- joel878


We keep harping on defense when Leafs were outshooting their opponent 28 to 11 with the score tied 4-4 last night. Defense hasn't been the issue. Carolina better coached and their special teams are very good. Willing to shoot and go to the net. Leafs especially Marner are content to do the Harlem Globetrotter thing and try to pass it into the net. Drive the (frank)ing net, shoot the puck and pick up the loose change in the process. (frank) the cute little backpasses to avoid contact.

I agree with this, the only thing Shanahan has proven good at is self preservation.

Once the Keefe bullet is fired the only thing standing between him and EI is a new GM who won't make as good a fall guy as Dubas did.

Granted they were better defensively last night save for glaring errors on just about every single goal against, but if you think this defence has not been a major problem this season, we've been watching different teams.

All Shanny has to do is hire the right guys. The Cap guy is not bad, I haven't seen much from Treliving yet. Not impressed with the fact that Samsonov has flubbed his way through 15 games. On the plus side - he re-signed Matthews which was a great move. At this point, he will need to re-sign Nylander who has easily been the second best player on the team this season.

Thanks.

I’m doing all the things I wanted to do as a kid, but didn’t always have the chance to. Owning a sled is the best way to buy happiness hahah.

Sounds like you and I are opposites. I was raised around bikes and sleds and got to use them as a kid before I was even close to highschool due to coming from a small town that had “the places” or “the fields” to use them in. Lived a life getting a Suzuki RM80 rebuilt with some 125 parts for graduating public school kinda thing. Nowadays though even being on a bicycle is questionable for me

And (frank)ing Liljegren!!!!!!

Yup, thankfully I was allowed to use anything because I was the oldest amongst cousins on mom’s side and the 5th oldest on dad’s side (amongst 31) but the only one who lived close to home. So I got all the extra tasks growing up )even helping grandpa in the yards for his apiary) and ended up being the one cousin allowed to use what was owned by dad and my uncles

And yes they are!! I see a Matthews/Marner thing happening too, and I’m not saying that because of you, I just am feeling it.

Like Benoit…….puts in a good effort, clears net, is starting to hit more. Same with Lagesson. Not a Lilly fan though! What’s his specialty?? Does he hit, fight, is he an amazing passer, does he clear the front of the net? Nothing. Move him.
