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

Love this gif. Sens fan is sooooo mad.

He can keep acting the way he does as long as he's filling the net. Look at Marchand in Boston this season for a good example.

Yeah, fill the net and I can get over how easy he is to dislike.

It's also not entirely attributable to his shooting ability suddenly and mysteriously going south either I don't think. Although I know that Steve Simmons knows an "unnamed scout" who says it is... .

I've also heard he's getting a double shawarma platter at Pita Nutsi before practice everyday.

Kadri's stats are similar to Colborne's this season. Could the #Flames RFA be looking for something similar??? Gulp!

Kadri has been way more consistent than Colborne, most I would go with Joe would be 2.5 million.

/That's less than Engelland will make this season

Kadri wouldn't be getting anything close to what he got if this was his first productive season.

Bridge Colborne and everything should pan out.

Thanks for the posts. Down here in the non-desert-but-still-a-hockey-wasteland, news and discussion of TML is scarce.

Much appreciated!

Maybe we can sell it to Pita Nutso and get something for it

It's funny, because in my forum time I think I've met more Leaf fans living abroad than from here. Remember Puckhead (RIP) from the FN days? Another desert dweller.

But you're always a pleasure to chat with, sir.

CSKA GM Fedorov says Zaitsev will join Leafs

Hopefully he can keep growing his game in the NHL. Would be a great right-shot partner for Rielly or Gardiner along with Corrado.

Leafs defence prospect Andrew Nielsen turning heads - Sportsnet.ca

Finished tied in points in the W with first rounders Provorov and Sanheim (70 pts). Massive jump from his draft year.

Hope he gets up to the Marlies next season and makes some noise in the A.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

There was talk of AZ being interested. Smart move.

Leafs won draft lottery
Raptors move onto round 2 of the NBA playoffs
Blue Jays win a weekend series against Tampa Bay

Wow, this is terrible news. Glad to hear that everyone is OK, even the pets.

Poor animals must've been terrified.

Good article. One thing I don't think he specifically mentioned is that you need to be at the cap limit before you can start to use ltir.
That little wrinkle meant the canucks had to get two $2m players instead of one $4m guy for a playoff run one year.

It's mentioned in the part about ELCs and bonuses

"Since teams must be at the upper limit to activate the LTIR exception to the salary cap, that means any team that uses LTIR and has any of its players hit performance bonuses is going to have those bonuses applied to the cap the next season."
