Throw in DeAngelo and a bottle of Advil and that probably makes enough room to fit in their new GM.

Interesting line from Elliotte Friedman in 31 Thoughts:

It’s going to be weird without many late-night games, as Vegas is only Pacific time-zone team in the post-season.

This is my favourite part. They know what it takes to win. Of course, that is only because they saw other teams do it to them.
- Aetherial

Don't be so technical. They have been around for a long time and understand what they have to do to compete in the playoffs.

Winning a cup doesn't magically gift a human being with the magic abilities to understand what it takes. Going through the grind, losing games, winning games, being a part of different situations in the playoffs. They know what it is all about. More than Joe Blow who won a cup with the 2010 Hawks and barely played any more NHL games after it.

Cool.

Everyone in Toronto loved Sgt. Clarkson of the Waterbottle Police Service.

Until we didn't.



Anderson could very well end up being excellent value for $ but I'm not sold he is worth what he is being paid based on the Jeckyl and Hyde season he's had so far. This weird season does make it hard to really know though, next year should be telling.

I’ve been here.
Ice cream truck usually drives down our street playing Helter Skelter to let us all know they are here. Time to gather your coins, loose change, get out of the can, solicit orders from your family and be ready, cuz we’re coming back down the street in a few minutes. I did all the above and waited on the porch...they didn’t come back.

And we've got veteran leadership.

Guys look around the room and see guys like Spezz, Thornsie and Simms, they've been there before. They know what it takes to win.

You can't help but notice what these guys are doing. It adds another element to this team.

Thanks, Christine.

All the guys in this room believe in one another. It all starts with Jumbo. We all want him to lift the Stanley Cup over his head because no one deserves it more than he does. We all want to win it for him. And in order for us to do that we have to roll up our sleeves and dig deep and bring our lunch pails and get to work. It takes 16 wins to win a Stanley Cup but right now we're only focussed on winning game 1.

As much as this is a team game, it’ll be tough to do this with a broken Hyman.

Who loved the Clarkson? Even a little? Or longer than one shift in the first preseason game?
- Woderwick


I remember when they signed him, and I knew very little about him - but I knew he was gritty and had scored 30 a couple of years prior. I wasn't excited, but I was cautiously optimistic, I suppose? It followed on the heels of that 4-1 loss to Boston, so I think the Leafs still hadn't generated enough optimism as a whole after years of losing and losing and losing. I didn't have a lot of faith in Nonis, so it definitely wasn't a wow feeling.

I do recall he had an interview where he said he loved Wendel and wanted to emulate him, and sort of having this mixed feeling right then - knowing no one was ever going to fill Wendel's skates in this town, and also knowing that he was putting himself under some really rough scrutiny off the get-go.

The other thing is that I remember reading an article, and it actually tempered any expectations I'd had - talking about how Clarkson had been used, and why it likely wouldn't be successful in Toronto. I was hoping for a 20 goal guy who at least was hard to play against. Wrong on all accounts!
