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

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I'll be at the game tonight. The last two I went to was the Wings before Christmas (came back from 3-1 down to win) and the Habs a few weeks ago on HNIC (came back from 3-0 down to win 6-3) so if it looks like we're getting shit kicked early on, fear not - I got this

Well, I was right about one thing.

 

[BGDave]

heh heh, yes was going to say the same thing

Going to chalk this one up to the flu.

For me, there is nothing more frustrating in hockey than a "big man" playing soft. Goat is not the first nor will he be the last. But against TB he played a little heavier and used his size intelligently. Really had some jump out there. A very late bloomer and doubt he will be more than a 4th liner, but if he continues to play like he did last night, he will be a solid contributor.

Stand perspective, but the fourth line were the best line last night.

LOL

Never heard of the kid, so I went to hockeydb.com Guess who is #1 in searches? Ah, the size and power of the TOR fanbase,

5 foot 10, a buck 85. Yeah, that sounds about right. So a slightly younger Connor Carrick. Sigh.

Well, he's ours now so start hyping him as the next Torey Krug already!

I figure he is currently a bad (bottom half) 4th liner with the upside of a good 4th liner. Combine that with a minimum contract and the ability to play centre and I think he's got a very good chance to get that full pension as a Leaf.

But he plays heavy, right? Right??

Sigh. Back to the "rag it" controversy.

Everybody is going to Toronto

Centre of the hockey universe, bay-bee!!!!!

Keep those Marlies stocked, Kyle. Gonna need a new Moore every year going forward.

If you didn't know Dubas was 8 years older than Rielly, you'd swear it be vice versa, right?

Same. Won’t lie, didn’t know that about Big M (or did and had forgotten).

I know, right? Doug Ford, right there to stick up for his brother and sucker punch someone in a men's league game... oh god, I'm tearing up again, really gives you the feels

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Ugh.

 

[BGDave]

Depth is good.

 

[BGDave]

Ugh.

Willy moves to Auston's line?
