Lol what? I don't hate the team at all, I wish them to succeed of course. I just wish Cowan would show more than he has up to this point. I agree other players have had bad showings too but IMO he's been one of the worst, especially in the Latvia game. Yager has been especially disappointing too.

The team as a whole was bad..I don't think they had one player stand out except maybe the goalie who had little help..There did not seem to be the high end talent that other countries had.. Dave Cameron is a bad coach in my opinion.

Cowan was terrible. Not sure the reason.. But he showed terrible IQ, bad disciple and as I said in the other thread.. He is an NHL player but I don't think he is as high end a prospect as we are hoping he is.

Yes, a ray of hope for our enemies, this clown cant even pass a security clearance.
Hes compromised.
Pc party need a real candidate

Housing prices skyrocketed up before Trudeau as well, oh and he would have nothing do with that....usually provincial.
Crime isnt too bad.

So youre angry about immigrants.
Ok. Gotcha.
Im not a trudeau fan, id prefer two term limits, all three parties need new leaders. But the constant lies about him from maga maples and what you posted says so much more about you and the F trudeau types....more than anything.

Sorry PP has been bought, hes a traitor....much like his supporters.

Nope.
Id prefer two term limits, all three parties need new leaders.
But i see, immigrants are your problem.
The above post and all the lies about trudeau from the maga maples says more about them and you more than anything.

Pp is a trailtor, along with his followers

Yup.
Compared to what orher countries had to go through during the pandemic, post and in general......canada is still rated as a top 3 country in the world for most positive categories
The states only rates top 3 for 3 things, crime, military, and most people in prison.

Would be the greatest constitutional upgrade in the history of Canada saving it from radical socialist authoritarians (you).

Leftism is a sickness. It’s pathological. Narcissism, arrogance, ignorance, indignance, confirmation bias, mass formation psychosis, obsessive compulsiveness, hypocrisy.

All of these traits are exhibited in this comment section routinely.

There are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there’s still time to change the road you’re on.

The fact that you continue to defend this says more about you than it does me.

I just picked the last one out of curiosity. Musk is pos donkey but anyway..
"mass murderer is living free as a professor in Canada?"

i took 1 min to read about this...and yeah... thanks Trudeau!
would love to ship out if its true, looks like it was tried already..and probably again, just not yet.


The primary reason Diab has not been extradited to France to serve his sentence lies in the complexities of international extradition laws and the specifics of his case. Diab was previously extradited to France in 2014 but was released in 2018 after French judges dismissed the case due to insufficient evidence, allowing him to return to Canada. In 2021, French authorities reinstated charges and ordered a trial, which proceeded in his absence, leading to his 2023 conviction.


social media has ruined so many peoples (frank)ing minds..its so sad to watch. cant even be a little bit rational just repost any nonsense unfettered

It wasn't so long ago that you'd have no inside bathroom. Or 5/8 kids didn't reach adulthood. People got polio and poop.

For most of human history any society spent 50 percent of its treasure on war. In our times it's less than 5 percent and biggest expenditure is on health care. Things are actually pretty rad.

Here’s a non-authoritarian suggestion: anyone who thinks being part of the U.S. would be supercool is free to go and those who prefer Canada can stay.

He's always been injury prone. The issue is that the Leafs keep rushing him back into the lineup when they should let him recuperate long term.

They should Kucherov him for the rest of the season.

Cowan was terrible. Not sure the reason.. But he showed terrible IQ, bad disciple and as I said in the other thread.. He is an NHL player but I don't think he is as high end a prospect as we are hoping he is.

To continue with that team's epitaph: A January 2nd tweet from Scott Wheeler:

A text from a pro coach this morning: “Why doesn’t Team Canada ever go on the ice?”

Canada cancelled its practices on Dec. 27 and Jan. 1, and has now cancelled two morning skates as well. Haven’t skated since NYE loss to USA.
" (https://x.com/scottcwheel...tatus/1874819716054917589)

I have no idea what the coaching staff was doing or attempting to do. If they thought taking stress off the team was required but clearly the team simply did not gel together. Many of the lines, I thought, never did work the way they thought they would - but they just kept rolling them the way they were. Every team we played looked more cohesive than Canada and that falls directly on Cameron and his staff.

Carter George was excellent, as you said, but after that there were just so many question marks.

I thought Bonk overall looked decent and you can see some good things from his partner, Richardinson, but there are a number of other things about Richardinson's game that leave you wondering. I think McKenna showed enough to know that he will be good, but being underaged and less physically mature really showed. He'll be a leader on this team next year. It's a real shame about Schaefer, because he's a star - but he wouldn't have been enough to change the fortunes of the team.

On the whole, and this includes Cowan, it looks like bunch of future 3rd line players with hopes of pushing into the top-6 - but where they are right now in terms of skills and on-ice IQ leaves you questioning if they can make it.

And it wouldn't be a Leaf message board without at least noting that we certainly were not granted many favours by the refs. That hit on McKenna with about 3 minutes left should have been a 5 and a game. There were other hits that went uncalled or were reduced to a 2 against Canada, and conversely hits that Canada threw that were called a 5 and were questionable as even penalties. Ultimately the team wasn't cohesive, but they really did get jobbed by the officiating.

Hopefully next year they don't overthink it and just pick the best players.

the IR thing was for cap management I believe.
this is my speculation , I think Matthews a some cracked ribs which needs time to heal but if he's constantly being cross checked in that area would be painful

Since it IR and not LTIR it didn’t affect the cap. It was done to open up a roster spot. By making it retroactive to the 20th, he was already able to return the day he was put on IR

Politics is controlled by billionaire pedophiles on both sides.

Epstein's client list reads like a who's-who of political power on both sides of the aisle.

That's a (frank)ing fact, whether you agree or not.

It's kayfabe like pro wrestling. They hate each other's guts in public and in front of cameras, but behind closed doors they are exactly the same : whoring themselves out to the highest bidder and blowing the proceeds on drugs and underaged child sex.

Icon of the left Bill Clinton raped kids with Epstein.

Icon of the right Donald Trump raped kids with Epstein.

Both are being protected, along with dozens of others in the highest places of royalty, government, and industry around the world.

But yeah, keep blaming "others".

I can't wait to see who gets blamed next.
