Comedy Platinum out of Toronto - "Canada's Team" quest for the Cup

Death, jail, banishment has followed ex-Leafs after expansion draft | Offside

Four Leafs, in particular, have fallen into extremely dark paths once they've been plucked from Toronto's franchise in the expansion draft.

I had no idea that's how Sawchuk died

I only found out when Johnny Bower died and I fell into a wikipedia rabbit hole. Pretty messed up to take that many pucks & other force to the body over his lifespan only to die on a complete fluke during a drunken scuffle with a buddy.

If Dreger actually said this, it confirms what a doofus he truly is. This can't be serious, right?

It’s riffing on his BS regarding pending Leaf FA’s. He said Barrie would want $8 mil x 7 basically as soon as the Leafs traded for him, that Hyman would want $7m x 7, etc.

Love that it’s very believable though haha

Over 8 years, I'd pay him 10.


Total.

He traded a first for Nick Foligno’s corpse and is probably losing Kerfoot in the expansion draft to keep cheap d-men. Guy’s fucking galaxy-braining the team and not getting better, not fleecing anybody.

Even plugging Robertson in at LW somewhere, I don't know what this team could possibly achieve. They pretty much need one of the best 3C's in the league to salvage anything out of that bottom six. LW is a hole top to bottom (if you're spending the remaining money on a 3C there isn't much left for a good LW). 4th line is basically "Hopefully Spezza's awesome again".

If Florida gets good goaltending (big if) Leafs could be battling it out for the WC spot in the Atlantic with Montreal.

Good luck guys lmao. They literally had to trade Marner tbh the entire plan for the big 4 revolves around success before contracts started expiring and that was before the flat cap. They had none and the contracts are up and this is the solution:

I guess Imoo has a rather checkered history including some racist and transphobic statements.

Basically they hired Jack Campbell's old goalie coach for the Marlies and then people looked at his twitter likes and it had a lot of anti-gay and trans stuff.

/I'm guessing they probably don't want to ask Jack Campbell about his political views...

I give the Leafs credit, they knew it was going to be an untenable situation moving forward and they acted swiftly. If only the Hawks had done the same thing back in 2010.

If the Blue Jays win game one today - which I believe is a rain out make up and technically a home game for them - this will be their 4th different stadium they will have win a home game in this year. Not sure if that’s a MLB record or not.

I wonder what the NHL record is.

/maybe the Jays should plan a parade?

Jays have been great since coming back to Toronto, that much is for sure. Boston collapsing has been nice, too.

Boston collapsing has been nice, too.

evergreen statement

Watching this in the hopes of seeing which jackass pushed to trade a first for Foligno the most.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Why didn’t they do this in fucking March?
