Nice to see perennial favorite PK Subban step up his game and take the lead on the most fines for diving competition. Personally, I think he's unstoppable this year, it's his award to lose. It just comes so naturally to him, it's like watching Gretzky score goals, completely effortless and doing it at a pace no one can keep up with. He truly in a league of his own.

Let's list the pros of staying in Hockeytown:

4. Young team on the rise
5. Great veteran leadership that demands accountability

Let's list the "pros" of the centre of teh hockey universe:
1. Culutre of Losing.
2. Higher taxes, higher cost of living
3. Neverending banal circus
4. Mundane media trope
5. See number one, rinse/repeat

Let the cray super computer record for posterity that domcha, like a true leaves fan armed with a reality distortion field can still agree and yet despite all logic, maintain a grip on the illogical.

Don't dodge on this bet. I will accept payment in the form of two tall molson's, pizza~pizza and an original six legacy wings hat (approx 100 bux with inflation) when Babs lifts the cup at the New Hocketytown Arena in 2017/18 season.

Leave fans and logic don't mix.

But keep me posted on those contract negotiations between Babs and The Meh Things.

^^ rangers sens 1st round???? could be a interesting matchup. habs seem to be back on track here for the most part but no doubt in my mind the rangers will get #1 in the east.. however they do have a very tough schedule coming up with the exception of the devils twice and the jackets but the rest are all vs playoff teams

Who's not giving him credit? All I hear from the media around here is how he's a shoe in for both the Vezina and Hart.

You've got 500-700 pages of back reading to do to understand what's going on around you. Dom is being quite sarcastic when saying goalies don't matter. Toronto fans understand the need for a good goaltender, that's why they traded Tuukka Rask away for Andrew Raycroft.

Yumcha is the guy who thinks goalies are an unnecessary expense in the nhl.

So apparently the domain ".sucks" is actually going to be a thing in a few months.


Guess who just pre-registered "torontomapleleafs.sucks" and "torontomapleleafshockey.sucks"

Time for my weekly pop in post.

Stars 6 points out of 8th, winning 7 our of last 9 with impressive wins over Pens and Hawks.

Play the shit Oilers and Sabres and 2 of next 5 vs 8th place Flames... so definitely have the chance to climb their way up. But the last 5 games look brutal.

Don't think they will make it. Shame. They should have peaked earlier. Oh well, missing the playoffs is becoming the norm . Not as bad as the Oilers or Leaves though. But it does suck. At least our MLS team is #1

Btw, did you see the tank move out of Phoenix? Up by a goal and scared they might take points out of the game, the goalie starts the comeback by banking the puck off a Pitt player and into his net.

What NHL goalie tries to clear a puck from behind the goal line, right up the middle while the opposition is right next the the net. One who values the McWin above all else that's who.

There's no need for such shenanagins in Phoneix. The have the McWaffle Cup all locked up. The Count will ensure his pet franchise will be in good hands for many years to come. Just like he did in Pittsburgh.

See what I meant about them playing better against good teams?

If they played like this last night would have been 12-1.
