What a crappy snoozefest watching leafs game last night...3rd period head phones went on and so did Joe's garage. Montreal you looked brutal even in preseason.
I like Calgary out of the west and Vancouver to make the playoffs. Tampa to win the East.
Tampa / Calgary final / Tampa wins it all.
Quoted from hwyhed:Mathews is still young, and is gonna do some immature stupid shit.
Non-Captain Underpants!
Christmas eve!!!!
I expect a leafs blowout tonight vs Sens
...yeah I'm really Goin out on a limb but win bet plus 2 goals for sure.
Jason Spezza sits/stands in the press box tonight against former team
Babs getting roasted..rightfully so...why do that?
Got another present from Santa!
Pulled the trigger on a vintage cross town pinball machine! Excellent condition paid 700.
That's cheap..prices in Ontario are crazy right now.
..I told you guys the helmet penalty would be an issue. Mcdavid scrambles for lid and the Couv score.

Don Cherry leaving CBC and hockey night in Canada. No more speak your mind.
It was time but i am still in shock. Don Cherry is a big supporter of the Allied Military but his remarks were too heart felt in this sensitive age.
Toronto in Pittsburgh tomorrow night. No Don Cherry coaches corner or Sydney Crosby. Lame. Should be some interesting signs in the crowd! The arena would go quiet when coaches corner came on.
I have a great idea! All all star players dress up like a Simpsons character. ..then I would watch...that would be awesome!
Barney must be a goalie
Babs definitely on the hot seat. Sheldon Keefe, a personal friend of Dubas will be the next coach of the leafs...may as well do it now. Waiting doesn't make sense at all.
Quoted from Meegis:The leafs forgot to leave the dr swing room last night.
I swear, when they put in new goalies, tlWhy would you not start Andersen to halt the losing skid?
who wants Nylander. Too busy posting golf pics ..Is this the new NHL filled with players more interested in their phones than winning hockey games? Dubas reign has been a disaster and Shanahan is like a ghost. I never see or hear from the guy. Is he alive?
Shanahans reminds me of weekend at bernies. . Travels all over that's about it.
That's my new name for him
Babcock gone by December
The media is brutal. Not good when your coach starts speaking in third person.
Cyborg-kids now ..treated like royalty . Please may I never see a Tristan Thompson hockey player. At least subban has a personality..but hold off on the entertainment-business-puck bunnies-yaht trips until you have won a stanley cup.
Bernie and dubas should of said no to nylander and marner outrageous demands.
Have you watched leaf games ?? Minor - Midget marner is like a fly defensively and he's hurt ...he's hurt because the rigors if nhl Toll hard on your body and marner is no Patrick kane.
Now other GMS are not too happy with the Leafs...go figure. If you have never played the game you should not be GM.
Leafs talk is insane
Please stop talking about Babcock firing.
Dubas was really nervous on tv
Felt sorry for him.
If you break down his words they are brutal
My camp is fire Dubas.
I was going to ask you for opinion. ...he's really good along the boards.thought he'd have more goals by now
I would appreciate it if Don cherry would contribute to the hockey news. another call to the publisher!
Quoted from hwyhed:I like Leivo..he’s a big body, and knows how to play. Coach Green has been making adjustments w injuries n all, but he mostly plays w Horvat. The line is streaky, but still hard checking/battling for the puck. The effort is there most nights..goals/points will come for that line..
Moved off 5 on 3 powerplay..come on Josh!
What a scandal breaking in the NHL...abuse , hazing ..who's the next coach of Calgary??
Babcock apparently is not "comfortable " in his own skin like his past tv commercial suggests
Sheldon Keefe was the perfect elixir to get the Leafs back on track to make the playoffs. When I played, even missing a practice I would feel it in my legs the next game. Andersen should play until he says no. Games off or time off is not necessarily a good thing
Quoted from meSz:That wasn't that long ago, 2012 I believe?? And apologies as he was let go due to him not being able to speak French!
good memory that's exactly why
Watched the leaf game at my son's place on his 4K 70 something beast! Very impressed.
This Sunday me and the boy are going to play some pro-line and watch football all day in 4K!
Quoted from Who-Dey:Blue Jackets are in a serious skid right now, pisses me off!
Jackets spinning wheels ..I would go after Brian Burke GM role for a more truculent team..Seth Jones is my wife's favourite player. One of mine too. I wish he played for the Leafs or Canucks. His dad played for the Raps back in the day.
Quoted from CanadianPinball:Not as bad as MTL!
MTL fans are all about man purses and colourful socks. Good food , great looking women but that's about it
Quoted from Who-Dey:Sure makes me wonder what the coach of the Dallas Stars did to get fired. Does anyone have any idea at all?Kicking players on the bench now Brent Sopel is backtracking...what a mess!
Leivo really picking it up for the Couv. Exceptional stick in tight spaces, along the boards ..I would recommend: tighter Fitting skates. laces snug from the toe up to upper ankle vein (so your foot doesn’t go numb) then Very tight right up to top of boot. Clear hockey tape wrapped snugly around Upper ankle. Skates rear flap also included in tape job. That’s how to wear and lace a hockey skate.
No backup no Stanley cup This year .
Bernie and Mr metro (metrosexual Dubas. .I don't want to offend anyone) have been a disaster.
My wife and I are going out to wally world tp get a big screen TV tonight for my man cave. I'm rushing so I can get it mounted on time for the Leafs vs Connor Mcdavid!
Quoted from hwyhed:Taylor Hall is a healthy scratch last nite...where’s he going, and for what..
Colorado ..millions of cap-space freed up .
Subban is pointless in forever and weber is having a career year in Mtl. Subban would fit nice in Toronto (If Cap Space /trade available) But I Would Worry About His Off Ice Stuff . NJ in for a rough road ..keep the faith NJ fans! I'm pulling for you. I would be very interested in getting Subban if I was GM. He's tough too
Quoted from Who-Dey:Blue Jackets finally played a good game tonight. Hockey is so awesome, cant believe more people wont give it a chance. I was one of those people so I cant say anything but I'm glad I have discovered how good that it is.
New TV clarity (4k) helps a lot for newbies following the puck

Ferraro is great agreed...met him at a leaf game. Nice guy and I commented on his above average hockey iq and anecdotes
I remember gord miller’s first broadcast on tsn with Gino redda
1 week later
its not Gallant...it’s the crazy owners
I remember working for a company where the owner was a pilot and had friends with the Canadian snowbirds...blah blah blah...one day he said ask your customers if they would like a picture of their building from a helicopter...He said the customer would have to pay for The fuel! ...another day I saw him leaning at reception in his flight suit. I said hey Richard I didn’t know we has a landing pad on top of our building,,,,I was fired shortly after.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:I would rather listen to mad mike
Smacking the fan with his shoe I’ll never forget!
Quoted from Bohdi:Yeah, i wasn't really thinking playoffs this year at the beginning of the year, but the more i see them play, i think they have a legit shot. Plus Brady Skjei is "family" so i want them to do well and get some more playoff experience
Right on! I’ll be rooting for Brady
All-Star game Is Great for fans in attendance. Hockey players playing shinny isn’t very interesting to watch on tv. The shooting pad In the stands was weird. Good for the Ladies but Canada vs. USA Gets tiring. More countries need to invest in competitive Women’s teams. I watched my god daughter play for years and it was really fun to watch.
Just saying would of kicked my son's ass if he pulled that. Now he's 26 and can kick my ass
great hockey last night !!
Josh sent a pic.of his busted knee. Knee cal Cracked right in half!..says aurgey went very well. Still, What a bummer...so proud of the Canucks and Josh won't play.that really sucks but Go Couv!!!
Me and my buddy from school (damn did we party) thinking of epic road trip next year and follow the Couv ..I'll are sure we are visible on tv!!
Quoted from Meegis:As much as I like to hate on the goalies, we lack majority in defence.
We often leave our goalies hanging out to dry.
Leafs will have a New backup Shortly. Hawks would be nice dance partner
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Advice for the Leafs: Get rid of Hutchinson!! He's like Garrett Sparks 2.0...how many chances will he get?He’s history shortly
JAYS catcher caught pulling his weenie in a dollar tree parking lot , also charged by the police in Florida. Hate to go off topic
No way Leafs win the cup this year ..what happens when the Couv go further in the playoffs than the disaster Dubas/Bernie combo?
Canadian long weekend! (Family day) tomorrow Pinball at the club then back to my place for more pinball and home town-hockey with tarnished Ron McLean.
I shouldnt be drinking and posting
The way he scurried away from Don and his gee shucks apology. He should have stood firm with Don. This keeps me up at night

Still confused how the Leafs managed to beat Tampa. Although Leafs to win was a great bet
Andersen is very good goalie and his stats should improve as the defence does. He looked great ..The Leafs crest shots didn't compare to the key saves Andersen made..it was like a power play set up for Tampa. Nylander goal was amazing! Good game to watch
Mesz you are correct about Ottawa although the coverage here is pretty intense . Concensus Ottawa did very well and I like what they are quietly doing. Sometimes no one pays attention little brother with the tussled red hair, until he fires a rocket from the backyard through your neighbours window!
You watching the Leaf game? 3 3 tie after first with kapenan scrap...Another great game to watch so far not so much for the coaches
I'm glad you posted that ..I was thinking the same . Very emotional and I'm so proud of Couv fans. I did year up to be honest. What a story and game
Quoted from Guinnesstime:Switching gears to my New York Rangers, I cannot believe that Shesterkin has a broken rib from a freak car accident. At least it's a non-displaced fracture. Dude is 9-1 since being called up and has been facing 40+ shots each night.
Yeah too bad For sure, watched the game last night ..now Kreider gone , so close to sneaking into the playoffs
Leafs vs Couv coming up and It really pisses me off my boy Leivo not playing. What stupid dumb luck. It would have been his first playoffs as well. I know I have ranted about this before but it still gets me as the playoffs come closer. I saw the knee a day after the injury and this kneecap was cracked in half!
At least the pirates don’t have anyone that got caught Wippin their weenie in a dollar store parking lot!
No one claimed the prize last time. I finished second ...I believe mesz was way down in the pack. I claimed the price FYI.
NICE Hwy and thanks for sharing the pictures. May be one of the last games before no fan hockey. You had good body - check seats in the corner with a great view of Demko..he looked good eh?
Hue can you pretty please set up hockey pools .com? Since I'm defending champion, therefore current Captain, this is what I humbly suggest. You can be assistant captain of the pool!
Meegis I have no idea how they can postpone the season. Playoffs in July? Then 4 weeks to prep for 2021. I think you are right and postpone will be the press release
No argument from me as I have Tampa to win it all. It’s up to Keefe and I have faith in him. Andersen is more than capable of stopping shots. Don’t forget Reilly back and will play 27 minutes A game And his legs are fresh for playoff grind
Quoted from ImNotNorm:The Ottawa Senators have a player that just tested positive for COVID.
Seasons over boys
https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators-positive-test-coronavirus-1.5501221
Agreed Hue, no chance the league finishes. Even truncated playoffs would suck
Unreal Vince .guess what? LCBO in my town officially announced liquor store to be open 1 hour later. I kid you not lol
Quoted from luch:i'm so scared , lol x large for me too . if they resume the season , leafs might not even hang on to their playoff spot
Like I said X large . X box had leafs finish 4th.

What's this? Zach Hyman represents the Leafs on X box tourney? Football player representing Seattle ..cool!!! How do i watch this?

Quoted from meSz:Mine are first row of the Upper bowl 124 CAD per seat. Another thing the Penguins do is, when other season ticket holders don't renew their tickets the Penguins send out an email advising current holders that seats have opened up. You go online and can see what tickets are available and if you like them better then what you have you can change your seats. For me, I like being higher up as I like to see the play develop. This pic gives an idea as to the view from my seats.
[quoted image]
Believe that Luch? pay those prices for kick ass seats , Crosby and Stanley cups???
Seat fee should go to the supreme court. What exactly is the seat fee for?? So why doesn't MLSE charge an air fee too?
Quoted from TheLaw:Pens Habs first round...seems normal to me
Series wouldn't even be close. Not sure I would even bother watching ..prob would though
Quoted from luch:i think you mean PSL personal seat license , it allows you the right to sell the pair on the open market to who ever you want , in toronto uppers are around 80-90 k and lower bowl around 150 k and up . for a pair , and then you buy the season tickets every year
What a scam
So do you get money back Luch? How does it work with your tickets ? I wouldn't launch ...too much money involved.
Quoted from meSz:NHL announcing right now the return to play
So the Pens lock horns with Carey Price and the Leafs battle Columbus. Columbus will not roll over ...major injuries during reg season healing with the layoff. Morgan Reilly heals up Too ..Sorry Columbus , no chance, ZERO even with injuries recovered.
Oilers don't make playoffs???? What a shame.. . Miss the league runaway mvp and McDavid that Sucks .
50% slash in salaries that's why Seattle should hold on expansion until salaries are reset. I would be shocked if my god Tim lie wicki would lock in salaries. I bet many agents will be dropped.
Quoted from Blitzburgh99:They are saying no vaccine will ever be found, and it will circulate around the globe like the common cold forever
Trivia Blitz: last pre Covid game/teams? That's how fuped things are my friend
I'm guessing the Couv is in but have no idea
Quoted from Meegis:Now I feel left out
Your invitation goes without saying meegis
You fish much?
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:As a Habs fan I would like to think that my Boy Jesus Price will be well rested and be in early season form... where he tends to dominate.
Agreed. But healthy Malkin and Crosby ? Huge upset
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Yup... but goaltending can steal series.
Also a healthy Weber and perhaps a Russian rookie d-man (Romanov) could help make them a tough defensive team.
On the front end Drouin is back and that is good as he started out hot.
you guys miss Gonchar
Quoted from ImNotNorm:One of the Penguins players just tested positive for COVID.
Still think the playoffs are going to happen? Stick a fork in it....she's done.
Rumoured pen ?
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:you guys miss Gonchar
Quoted from TheLaw:I do.
Even as poorly as the NHL is run, they had to have a plan in place when the inevitability of players testing positive came true. I don't think anyone running any league thinks no player/coach/crew/field/fan etc etc is going to get the Corvis, it's going to happen 100%
agree ,,full Steam ahead i think
Fake news...alls well,,,unnamed player haD it but is negative. dont think this will halt the plans. all players will be tested like crazy . Sens had 4 unnamed players months ago test positive?
Let's talk Bo DOG bets but I wonder if Vegas is plugged in to fitness and stuff. Wonder Your long shot Stanley Cup winner for 2020?
EDMONTON for the Bacon.
Quoted from meSz:Signage in Pittsburgh’s Bus Stops on how to know if you’re practicing social distance.
[quoted image]
Now that is cool. I want that bus poster!
What Sucks the most is all the kids that miss organized sports and all the great people who give back to the community. LAME
Quoted from TheLaw:I assume poppapin is joking, but a Yinzer is a Pittsburgian (?) that sort of have their own dialect with words/phrases/delivery.
http://www.pittsburghese.com/
Cool...but I still want that poster..One of a kind
Up north here we are called hosers.
Did anyone listen To Tim and sid show today? Sid was obviously stoned. Check out show for free on fan 590 replay . A great show idea but get rid of the lunatic. Embarrassing .listen to it...Sid is singing church music??? Wtf? ??
Preface: yeah had a few drinks but not alot.
Pavel Datsyuk is holding up in a monestary called "Loaves of bread" in Russia, controlled by a priest that went to jail for 14 years. They believe it's the government that want to put chips in people. Wow.
Quoted from TheLaw:ouch
Now da Leafs have no chance of raising the cup.
Depends on Morgan Reilly health status. Andersen is good to go. Leafs are a legitimate contender.
1 week later
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:I guess technically everyone who made the 24 team playoff is a "contender"... But if the Leafs get past Columbus... They're rewarded with the Bruins in all liklihood or the Bolts.
So.... Ya. There's that.
Pick Em series ..I like Anderson to steal shows and odds favor over the Bruins hump.
Tampa shampa. .they blew it.
I know it seems awfuly selfish in these dark times but I haven’t received a paper copy of the hockey news in 6 months.
Quoted from meSz:HEY Pens threw games in the past and got MARIO .... who's next? LOL
Lets lose in the first roUnd and get a huge lottery ball.
Feel sorry for Sabre fans and Jack Eichel
Love to have him on my team and one of my favorite players ..aside from me.
My skating and hockey sense off the charts.
Had a few drinks and feel like uncle Rico from napoleon dynamite.
NHL players to battle it out on EA sports hockey from spitting chicklets. .I believe broadcast live event podcast or whatever it's called.
Last post of the day
I Truly hope all of you are well in this absolutely crazy 2020...I'm afraid we are in a long fight against the devil but we win the game in the end.
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Only if they are a serious/severe case; which with young healthy individuals is exceedingly rare.
Long term effects to be determined even In
Light cases. I be careful throwing around millions when I doubt Austin will re sign. Time to shop him around?
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Only if they are a serious/severe case; which with young healthy individuals is exceedingly rare.
I know Canuck as a Leaf Fan .just something to consider that's all

Commentary: Jim Looks like someone smoked a krack Behind the net! There should be a penalty on that because he clearly hit the pipe.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Krackers
Krackheads
Quoted from meSz:The Jackets are a healthy team and will be a tough team to beat!
Hahahahahaha!!!!
Luv ya Mesz! Hope your doin well buddy and when this shites over your welcome to come up to my place. Lodging everything on me.
The Leafs better win this afternoon. They are getting Roasted on the radio. Minor Midget marner better play lights out!
Quoted from meSz:If i would've known Henrik was going to start I would've picked the Canes to sweep!
Good call
Dubas and Bernie should be fired. It's not Keefe he's a good young coach, a players coach and he's learning the NHL ropes. I personally would re hire Dallas Eakins as assistant coach . That would fix the Leafs.
Quoted from TheLaw:Better question is whom will Millburry hate on?
Mad Mike! He's nuts
