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

markhmasters: Dave Bolland: "Once we play our game & we do the right things we’re a dominant team in this league"

He'll be here all week folks, try the veal and don't forget to tip your server...

He's right though. Once they do all that and win 60+ games, they'll be a dominant team.

Edit: Reminds me of that Steve Martin sketch -- how to be a millionaire and not have to pay taxes.

The media in Toronto still thinks Tavares will be a Leaf in the offseason. New Owner coming in you idiots. NO CHANCE OF IT HAPPENING NOW!!

I'd like to thank Bettman for being a closet Isles fan & giving Chuck the nudge he needed to sell the damn team.

I don't disagree that the Toronto media are idiots, but I've read next to nothing like this. I saw a comment from Dreger regarding the possibility that Tavares might eventually get sick of the situation in NY in a larger discussion about possible Leaf trade ideas, but that's pretty much it. I think you might be fighting with invisible monsters.

I've heard or read nothing of the sorts either. Unless maybe HockeyFutures now counts as the Toronto media.

If you mean as a replacement for Carlyle, then that sounds about right.

Well...it seems the Phaneuf for mayor campaign may have taken a hit in the last few games.

Ford is probably just capitalizing on that.

Also...

Assuming average team has a 37.8% chance of losing in regulation, an 8 game regulation losing streak will happen about once every 29 years.

Leafs are not your average team.

Heh. You want a non-average team? The 76ers won a basketball game yesterday (March 29th). The last time they did that was the 29th as well. Of January.

that's just too funny.

Just try not to land on the Canucks semi that fell down that cliff in January

Consider this: Since a luck-driven 10-4 start to the season, the Leafs have actually been the sixth-worst team in the NHL, posting a better record than only Buffalo, Florida, Edmonton, the Islanders and Calgary.

In that span, they have won just 18 of 62 games in regulation or overtime – essentially once every 3.5 games – fewer than all but the Sabres and Panthers.
