Phil couldn't save the Toronto Maple Leafs, but I'm sure the USA would trust him with the fate of their entire nation.

Now that Kessel has left Toronto and Seguin has left Boston they've decided to put the forced rivalry behind them and become best buddies.

Leaves add Jacques Lemaire as an assistant.

Could you imagine if they actually had some decent hockey players.

Indeed, too bad most of them have already failed at pro hockey.

Uhh, didn't Detroits coach flee the living hell that is Detroit for he greener pastures of the Toronto maple leafs?

When those are your options and you hitch a ride on the domchaville express, it says a lot about the train wreck you got off.

McJesus is apparently THAT good...in one of the fantasy forecasts for the upcoming season, they have the kid finishing 3rd behind Crosby and Stamkos.

I was pegging him to get about 60+ points.

I nominate Cabbie's post from a couple pages back about the Rangers signing Jared Stoll for $800K.

Or, every Cabbie post period.

So apparently Bab's 4486 sq-ft home in Detroit is/was for sale for $799k

Lucky Babs is now making big boy money because he'll need a lot more cheddar to buy a similar place up here.

I think Babs is more of a smoked Gouda guy than cheddar.









































































Cuz he definitely smoked something if he signed on in the birthplace of hockey dysfunction.

Or any post aboot Toronto cause they are irrelevant. (except as joke)

Advertizing on uniforms???

Adidas Reportedly Lands NHL Jersey Contract Starting with 2017-18 Season | Bleacher Report

Adidas will reportedly take over as the NHL's uniform provider starting in the 2017-18 season, having signed a long-term deal with the league, according to Rick Westhead of TSN, who amended the start date from his original report.

Adidas will take over for Reebok, which was paying the league $35 million per season, a source told Westhead, though the new deal is expected to double that figure.

The deal is expected to be formally announced in September, and sources indicated to Westhead that "moving to a new jersey supplier may be a natural transition for the NHL to begin introducing on-jersey advertising."

While such advertising hasn't reached the NFL, NBA or MLB, it is a staple of club soccer around the world and NASCAR, among other sports. League officials have estimated that the NHL might be able to increase revenue by $120 million per year if it allowed advertising on uniforms.

The move is a change of pace for Adidas, at least in terms of its North American presence in the Big Four sports, as the company recently ended its partnership with the NBA. It has a bigger presence in European soccer, however, where it's aligned with powerhouse clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Oh and you can bet your bottom booty, Fibo would do the domcha dance under the pale moonlight for $50 million devalued plastic loonies too.

Hell, I might even invite cabby over for a basement party too for that kind of dinero. Would still charge him for the keg stand though. And demand a personalized build-a-bear.
