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

Wow. Had no idea.

Yeah I didn't know much about Cujo other than he was adopted and his adoptive family was mixed-race.

Growing up in a nuthouse must've done well to prepare him for life in Edmonton though.

For all the praise Mark Hunter got from many corners of the hockey world, his drafting (pretty much his entire job) hasn't exactly been great.

The Leafs picked three times from #61-68 in 2015 and with Nielsen being traded, Bracco not improving much with the Marlies and Dzierkals back home in Latvia stinking it up in the K those are three pretty big whiffs. None of those players may ever play an NHL game.

And it's not like other years were any kinder - Grundstrom may make an impact and will probably get some NHL time but I doubt Korshkov's ever sniffing an NHL arena which is horrible for a 31st pick. Grundstrom and Dermott may be the only non-first rounders from those drafts to play consistent NHL hockey. Considering how many picks the Leafs hoarded those years, that's kinda butt.

Ruh Roh, another Leafs - Flames trade...

Maple Leafs Acquire Klimchuk From Calgary

/Not quite as bad as the Gilmour - Leeman trade, methinks.

I thought it might be to open a spot on the Marlies D for Holl when Matthews got back but they're sitting the Goat so maybe they're sending Holl down when Nylander signs

/As I said above, Nielsen is a wasted pick. Guessing Klimchuk is as well (although he has company in the "Butt 2013 First Rounders Club" in the Goat).

Basically a case where the Marlies had a logjam on D and a need upfront, and while I don't know much about the Flames' system I wouldn't be surprised if they are relieving themselves of the opposite situaton.

Klimchuk is certainly an above average AHL player in my opinion, but he certainly has been surpassed by other prospects in the Flames system. This could be a trade that works out well as far as AHL depth is concerned for both teams.

FFS, what do Thornton's knees have anything to do with this:



And to be honest Pete, if Jumbo's knees are that fucked up (and I wouldn't doubt it), he should retire. This is fucking top hockey.

Even beyond that, they played a few weeks ago in SJ and had a chance to win but they kept going after Kadri and wound up giving up some pretty easy goals. This shit has already cost them 2 points and they're still carrying on about it.

I hereby retract my preseason prognostication on the Sharks.

Oh, and their goalies are sieves.

To be clear, by Kadri hat trick you mean the "one goal, one assist, and one hunk of beard", right?


/with all due apologies to Mr Hockey
