Kadri for Hart

No one is talking about how stupid it is to throw max money at a declining player. The Leafs just got rid of Kessel and Phaneuf and their bloated contracts. Giving a player who - let's face it - is not the same guy since he broke his leg max money is just the same thing over again?

I usually give you sh!t because I think you make unsupportable claims, but you are one of the few that I agree with on this. I think signing Stamkos to a massive deal would be one of the biggest mistakes Toronto could make. Stamkos will be in decline and likely severely overpaid by the time Toronto is competing.

I would say thats a plus/plus/plus/plus/

Ironically, all my claims are supportable.

Damn, sucks to hear that Black Mass was disappointing. Thought it looked pretty good. No issues watching Goodfellas again though. Have you seen/are you planning on going to see Deadpool?

And don't forget the truth...he doesn't like the eye-test or the truth

"One thing that is most impressive about Kadri, is that despite playing on the absolute worst team in the NHL, he ranks equal to Kopitar as the 20th best centre in the league at preventing shots.

Kadri's 27.14 Shots Against/60 is 20th among centres with 1000 minutes played. Think about how everyone on LA is just absolutely ridiculous at puck possession, and then think about how while playing for the LEAFS Kadri is allowing the same amount of shots against as defensive monster Anze Kopitar."

Its not that impressive when you realize that you included special teams for your convenience and Kadri has played all of 3 minutes short handed this year. Sort for only 5 on 5 and 500 minutes and Kadri ranks 113.

being a mutant is not sustainable, this show doesnt make any sense, the blob is the most under rated mutant, look at his close numbers and quality of competition.

It's always funny how "tough" those guys are when there's a bunch of them.

My neighbor saw my light on and came knocking. I'm usually never home on a Saturday. He tried to play it off like he was making sure no one was robbing my house. He hid out at my house till almost 2 cause he didn't want to be around his wife and kids.

You should tell him the cost of avoiding his kids is bringing a 12 pack.

How about it? The last time that happened to me, my bud showed up to watch the 3rd, without beer, then helped me clean out the beer fridge until he left at 1. Don't know how he made it home.

Steven Stamkos has scored 67 goals in his last 140 games. Phil Kessel has scored 44 goals over his last 139 games. Surprised your fancy charts and computer graphs couldn't tell you the difference.
