It’s quite the accomplishment to put up a forum with modern software that somehow has less features than HB. LOL.
I’m generally against signing geezers, but if Patches retires, I wouldn’t be adverse to taking a flyer on Toews or Kane if they’d sign for a small salary with a bunch of incentive bonuses. Toews feels like more of a risk.
As we watch Florida go to the finals for the third year in a row, and reflecting on the Lightning’s mini-dynasty in the Covid era, it seems laughable now that folks thought NHL hockey wouldn’t work in Florida.
I think a Florida team has won the East for the last five or six years (too lazy to Google).
So, apparently Florida teams went into the meth store, smoked all the meth, and they had to close the meth store.
I’m not convinced JT will stay. Like Stamkos, I think he wants to stay and is saying all of the right things, but ultimately it’s up to Leafs management to make a fair offer. If that fair offer feels insultingly low, then he tests the market. Despite his age and warts, somebody will throw $4-5m at him easily, and maybe as high as $7.5m like Stamkos.
I used to work in management at a big box retailer and I was recruited by a rival big box. They offered better pay and better benefits, so I jumped ship. Well, I found out pretty quick that the other place was a clusterfuck. The managers were all either incompetent, dicks, or both. Most of my coworkers were joyless and hated their jobs and it showed in their performance. I hated it. I regretted my decision because the pay bump was too small to compensate for the additional suck the job required. I left a year later.
If JT really loves Toronto, he’ll stay. We’ll see. I think it’s a coin flip.
I won’t repost that pic ;to save everyone looking at it again but who ever told Marner that looked good clearly does not have his best interests at heart.
Was it Batman perhaps looking for a new Joker?
JFC – Cush
The suit looks good, but the hat and shades are cringey cheese
Then why do it daily?
Where is Bruce? – Cupsie
Not daily, just when it comes up.
No idea. Hope he’s OK. Probably just out doing life.
I’d bring him back on a 2 year deal at a cap hit of 5M.
Not to many C out there.
A lot players disappeared after game 4 vs. Florida. – DmntdAgree. The free agent market is thin and it would cost more assets to bring in a center via trade. If JT will sign cheap, then sign him, and have him be a C/W like Stamkos. Ideally, he is your slightly overpaid 3C and special teams guy and not an overwhelmed slow 2C who gets caved every game.
But yeah, JT wasn’t why the Leafs lost……he’s also part of why they didn’t win, but you can’t hang the loss on him alone.
It hasnt been that bad at the other site lately….and the person responsible for most of the conspiracy-laden political diatribe is here as well….and already started.
As for the random bans…..dunno..never came across any myself…but I rarely go into non leafs blogs or call out EK in any blog. – FakeIt gives me no joy to criticize HB or Ek. It was the first place I met up online with other hockey fans and had meaningful discussions and a little fun. I think deep down Ek is a decent guy who is passionate about hockey. But, he’s in over his head trying to admin a busy site that barely runs on a rotting infrastructure of 30+ year old abandonware.
The aggressive ads and popup windows that force users to install adblockers to use the site is self-defeating. Nobody is seeing those ads, so they can’t generate revenue. Or, they see them, get frustrated by them and leave (and never return).
He let trolls hijack his forums and make a mockery of his moderators. Then refuses to take the most basic and easy steps to mitigate that.
It’s the Buffalo Sabres of hockey forums.
