I love curling
LOL
I would have as well except my dad and step mom used two of the stones on two of the doors in their house growing up as door stops. They caused a few bruised toes in my life.
I’m a real man. I only watch game 7s
Question: have you ever seen a swept series?
#Wedgie4Mod
I support this 110% ????
It’s just AHL caliber hockey. It means nothing, but a way to make extra money for the teams. It’s gotten to the point that preseason is just boring to watch and the regular season, with the exception of a few divisional tilts are also meh. Playoffs is where it’s at.
Well like Cush is saying the Sens had a lot of their NHL roster in the game so no, it wasn’t really just AHL hockey but it was game 1 of the year so it would have been rusty as hell one way or another.
As for me I still enjoy a season, I’m not the type who sits here salivating while waiting for the post season, because let’s face it, due to trades/injury/etc we don’t even really know what the team will look like by then. It’s a long ways to go so embrace your patience and realize that the team that starts the year won’t be the one that starts the post season and you of all people know this Prince *shrugs*
Was nice to see the Leafs B squad beat the Sens A squad. I’m sure the reverse will happen in Toronto and every Sens troll will be yapping about it like they won the cup. Lol
Oh I’ll happily say it was nice to see but it was also due to to some damn lucky moments lol
Win that way, lose that way, and watch the trolls explode.
Just a heads up, took a quick peak for ya and the habs and the Blackhawks got smoked with spam hits this morning.
Anyways, Go Leafs Go today!!
They could save the year of his ELC by not using him at all until the playoffs. If he plays so well in the playoffs that he’s worth playing more than 9 games, then so be it. But if we have a situation where we have McMann (or any other plug like Jarnkrok, Kampf, Robertson etc.) scoring 0 goals like they did last year, pull him out of the line-up, put in Cowan and see what it gets you.
I guess that’s my point… what’s more important, a year of his ELC or production from the lineup right now? I say fuck it, sell off that garbage to whoever will take it and play the best team.
But like I said, this kid has to prove he can play pro hockey at a level needed. Honest question for you, where do you see him? A top six offensive guy? Or a middle six two way guy?
It’s probably a minor strain, Domi has a habit of doing a lot of offseason cross training where he plays multiple non-hockey sports.
Oh I know, he’s expected back before the end of camp let alone preseason. Just one of my dumb jokes lol
FYI, gave it some thought and I like what you’re saying about Cowan except one thing, fuck using up one year of his contract BUT mainly keep him on the Marlies. Call him up and send him down as needed nice and easy tho, isn’t that a nice thing considering all the little hiccups the NHL is trying to put into place cap wise? Waiver exempt guys might start getting used a bit differently, nice and helpful IR coverage.
“Nearly” 6′ is an adorable way to put it. By NHL standards, he’s undersized, both height and weight. As a rookie, he’s going to get pushed and thrown around a lot, especially by defenders. If his offensive game isn’t dangerous enough to be a legitimate threat, he’ll be like Robertson, thrown to the bottom of the line-up.
Cowan is a long term project, with the number of wingers they added and the pylons they still have, it would be a massive mistake to waste a year of his ELC, the same way they have previously made that mistake in the past.
Knies | Matthews | Domi
Joshua | Tavares | Nylander
McMann | Roy | MaccelliNone of those guys are going anywhere. They’re pretty much locked into the line-up and probably the top-nine unless there is a trade. And if there was a trade, it’d probably be McMann but nobody else there is getting moved.
Then, the rest.
Lorentz | Laughton | Jarnkrok
Robertson | Kampf | PezzettaAnother 6 guys who are all way ahead of Cowan in the bottom-six role, except Robertson but he’s got experience and a way better NHL level shot. Even if Jarnkrok and Kampf get traded for nothing in return, there are still 4 guys ahead of Cowan. And the rumors of that useless piece of shit Roslovic being signed too to fill back up one spot.
Ok UG I truly get what you’re saying and I do mostly agree with you but I am also willing to believe that Domi can be “outplayed” in camp so to speak, hence why I’ll leave a little window open for the “kid” and here’s why.
The “kid” isn’t 18 anymore, he’s 20, and he’s made a very very very notable development in size and strength this past year. Please keep that in mind. However if he can’t be used in a top 6 roll yes agreed send him down. Also, do you put a rookie with JT and Nylander when they’re so defensively questionable? A big ass NO so that means unless Cowan can take Marner’s old spot he goes down to the Marlies as you’re saying.
So please keep in mind that’s all I’m suggesting, he has 1 spot out of 12 forward spots he can earn and it’s top line so he will need to have a fantastic camp/preseason to earn it.
The Leafs have a strong backend and Knies and Matthews are very stable defensively (I know they aren’t Marner but please understand that’s not the argument I’m trying to make) and Knies is also the type who would crush anyone overstepping anyone who fucked with a rookie on his line.
So the only real reason I think that could work is that unlike Marner he could be on a line 1 that has two very good wingers instead of one great one and one iffy one like Marner had to play with other than time to time. As I said tho, the kid will need to have a hell of a camp with essentially zero question marks to earn his chance.
I thought it was 6 Cups in a row dude. #AMIRIGHT!!! Your memory is a little foggy.
Besides the elite playmakers and Selke candidates no longer want to play for this team.
Now go find players that do.Well at least he made a point of bringing up how a potential rookie who’s nearly 6’ and weighs 190lbs is so notably undersized that it’s worth mentioning. He truly hits the important info.
I just read that Robert Redford passed away @ the age of 89.
RIP Bobby. ????
That is sad, RIP Redford
Since Giordano was behind the bench yesterday at the prospect game helping out (Altho not under any official contract) I’m curious to see if he lands some sort of coaching job with the leafs.
He’s Chris Tanev’s understudy and eventual replacement.
Looking over his stats the only real question is his PIM habits… if he simply smartened up this past post season I like it ????
