Quoted from hwyhed:Puck the leafs!!!
Minor Midget marner! !! My buddy always laugh when I say that. He's soft and abysmal defensively.
Quoted from TheLaw:Alright what's going on in the *sigh* MassMutual East Division? Chara is a Cap now?
18 foot wingspan
Quoted from hwyhed:Yes..3 points each last night. Just the 2nd game of the season, and mcjesus nets a hat trick.
Leivo flat line stats?? Did you happen to watch the game ? I fell asleep
Time to move Crosby and his albatross contract and re build. Same With Malkin. No fans at the arena anyways
More. Reason to start the fire long before trade deadline. So Crosby and malkin will continue to suck the cash and when retire will leave a trail of tumbleweeds in Pittsburgh?
I'm looking forward to Mesz response. I would be calling in sports talk radio daily to make this happen.
Total rebuild , hate to be so macabre but perfect timing now ...Crosby the Kracken? Start with a franchise with one of the greatest players of all time. I know it's outer space talk but how much would you gain as a franchise by moving all that money
I'm thinking as a heartless business man. 1 injury away from major devalue at his age
Just sayin
Quoted from hwyhed:Letang sucks..I’m looking forward to tonight’s tilt w the flames..hope that we light up ex goalie Marky up. Here’s my local weather girl Kasia..I only watch the news for the weather n traffic girls[quoted image]
Damn...Couv looking good for weather girl
Weather girls are accepted in this thread.
Leafs are playing like little piles of unorganized poop. Why is Sheldon Keefe still the coach of this team?
Sheldon Keefe should be fired. I would fire him after the weekend.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Leafs are playing like little piles of unorganized poop. Why is Sheldon Keefe still the coach of this team?
Sheldon Keefe should be fired.
I would fire him tonite if I was gm. Don’t waste any more time with this dud.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Columbus won that trade.
will Winnipeg even lock in Dubois this summer for contract extension? I like the trade for both teams actually ...shieffle and Dubois You kidding me?
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Mike Babcock on NBC trying to salvage his reputation. Lol
Bye Mike!!
Another Mad Mike!
Quoted from TheLaw:What is Babcock's blemish?
Weird tactics ..Chelios says he was ..I look at it as being ..I am an egomaniac.
We all need someone to hit our reset button once and a while. "A man in a room alone is the smartest man in the room" -bacon
As everyone is aware I am a die hard leaf fan.
Calgary is my second favorite team. The leafs are a powerhouse.
Quoted from hwyhed:It was against the struggling Canucks. I really don’t know why I race home to watch them..this team is hard to watch lately , shitty in every aspect, except Quinn Hughes. He’s up there in points for a d men, but a minus 7 going into Toronto. Kinda surprised I got no smack from Cndnpinbacon
Won’t kick you while your down .. Canucks looked bad, what’s with all the dumb penalties? That happens when your chasing the puck all the time. Turned it off midway through the 3rd period.
..Best Leafs team in 52 years?
Matthews is sensational
I bash minor Midget marner but no more these kids are special ..Mathews marner combo is deadly . Rip my best friend I lost many years ago..He would be happiest guy in the world
Quoted from hwyhed:It’s all good man..the boys have played a lot of game’s already, and look tired w all the penalties they’ve taken. Their special teams..not so special. Lots of inconsistencies, the d looks terrible. But who knows, maybe they can turn it around like the blues did a few years ago..and no, I’m not high..
What a pylon Myers is...man he stunk
Quoted from luch:you mean 54 years
Small window to win now. Mr cap is tapping at our shoulders
How much is Matthew s going to cost ..another Edmonton ?
Quoted from luch:1978 1993 and 1994 , made it to the semi finals , should been toronto v montreal final in 93 except for the missed call on the Gretzky high stick , damn Kerry Fraser ( I think the hair spray was put on a little to thick that day )
Unbelievable he didn't make that call. What a goof.
Matthews scores his 10th of the year and 2 goal of game.
Could this be the best team of all time post 1946?
Just getting comfy in my smoking jacket. The proud maple leaf emblem is corinthian leather of course.
Quoted from hwyhed:The 5th goal was the dagger. Time to go downstairs, drink some cheap fn beer n play some pin. Yes, my Canucks officially fn suck right now..
[quoted image]
Think I got you beat too on the cheap alcohol content.

[quoted image]
Nothing says go to the Loo more than a Cariboo!
Quoted from TheLaw:Wow...power packed PBR!
You should see how we get rammed on beer prices . Ridiculous and should go to supreme court.
Quoted from hwyhed:Any Bruin fans here? I heard a rumour..Jake Virtanen for Jake Debrusk. Van, I’m sure, would have to add to this..
Np bruin fans ever here. Kind of disappointed
Quoted from meSz:My liver is going to drown!
I called it!
Quoted from meSz:My liver is going to drown!
Look for any softys on the roster to be removed.
Quoted from meSz:My liver is going to drown!
Mesz...Just think of how entertaining this Gm/president combo will be!
Besides Burke is no slouch, neither is Hextal.
Burke loves drafting Made in America players which is a good thing.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Wicked soft hands!
Agree..So Deceptive and quick.
Quoted from meSz:Should be interesting. I was never a fan of Hextal, as a GM, but I wonder how much of an impact Clarke had on what he could and couldn't do with the Flyers.
That's a good point also Hextal got experience from Clarke at least
1 week later
Wake me up on Saturday night vs Habs.
Not really fun pushing Tonka trucks in the sandbox (with little brother )
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Very uncharacteristic of them so far. Happens though.
Very odd for leafs to go 0 for 6 Mabey, a little less dipsy doodle and maximize shots on net.
I hope Calgary makes the playoffs.
Quoted from luch:hyman busters
Any recent letters regarding your seats Luch?
I have first dibs called it.
The 5th goal was the dagger. Time to go downstairs, drink some cheap fn beer n play some pin. Yes, my Canucks officially fn suck right now..
Quoted from luch:interest ? yeah right , there is a waiting list of 250 years roughly only 77 season tickets sets become available every year and there is 20,000 people on the wait list "meaning just 77 season tickets became available for sale to the 10,000 people currently on the wait list. At that rate, and assuming each person wants at least two tickets, it will take more than 250 years to clear the existing list." they ain't paying shit , and it's like pulling teeth to get your money back
Yeah ...big bucks for season tickets here
This may be a window to score season tickets but you will still need deep fn pockets ..The seat license is a JOKE. Add, what 12.00 for a tall boy Luch??
Quoted from finnflash:Would like to hear more about these guitars you speak of.
Haha!!!
BC rich warlock
Fender jaguar
..saving for another guitar.
Quoted from meSz:Plastic flask will get you in the door with enough alcohol for the game. something like....... amazon.com link »
Wont set off metal detectors. Even if you get caught and they confiscate it ..... it's 6.99
Thumbs way up on this post I.mo. absolutely correct. Applicable to all sports events
Quoted from luch:yes i am sure it happens
Keep me posted . When u need a partner I'll be there . Prefer sitting with you
When shite loosens up I'll take you and your wife out on Simcoe on our boat. You know Adam is across the bay from me. Lol. Had an interesting visit at his place recently.

Quoted from hwyhed:That mcdavid & draisatl in Edmonton are pretty good players..
Couv need help
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Couv need help
Sorry had a few drinks..should be in "3 word thread"
Meanwhile ontario BC and rest of Canada has the best developed players..and the USA development program is no slouch either . Scouts like to travel

You know it yourself , what 10 games night at multiple rinks within driving distance ?
Man I had so many good times at the gardens ..hawking souvenirs , the concerts , so many great memories .
Worked at the CNE for a few summers...remember climbing the bulova clock multiple times and smokin a few scoobies with my best friend , who got me the job , before heading to see a concert or jays game. The CNE now is a shadow of itself but still fun!
Benning press conference was hard to listen to.
I suspect he's gone for sure. 7 years in not much and questionable moves. Also many owners may look at a Kyle Dubas type. Shanahan president of the year. Kyle Dubas GM of the year.
I see no one was clever enough to ram me over my recent Dubas / Bernie Love affair!
Dubas in contention yes, but let's see Leafs play outside of division.cant wait for playoffs boys / girls ...and OK ..pansexuals as well.
The suits say the days of all sports talk is over.
May only be time before my beloved fan590 changes format. Bell media slashes hundreds of jobs in sports division , now I have to listen to Amy talk about her house. If anyone get that.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I'll give you two weeks before you call for Keefe to be fired again
My concern is yes all is lovey now...but when hard questions are asked why did you not beat Tampa ? He better not stutter. Just saying this is Toronto . It's actually worse in Montreal.
Andersen been shakey. I would ride Campbell for a while ..just sayin...likely will happen because , you never know , Brendan and Dubas may be a pin head
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I was fortunate enough to see about a dozen or so.
Getting seats behind the net in the first rafters was like being on a 60 minute roller coaster ride. Anytime a player would cross the blueline and wind up to shoot everyone would flinch and protect their face. So many errant tips or deflection would send the puck flying right into the rafters. This was before the protective netting was ever used.
Exactly,right. Remember ballards bunker? What an experience watching the leafs play..I was too busy getting bossed around by my uncle./souviner stand
Quoted from luch:yeah Andersen sucks
Let's see if keefs hair gel is all melted at the press conf. Jim Ralph just playing Strauss (reffing) violin on the radio. lol
Watched Burke interview from a half decent looking female reporter.
Burke Praised Letang Crosby Malkin
But his answers are pre built for lob questions like that.
Where was the interview?
I've criticized LeTang but have to say he's played very well in last 12 or so games.Not according to Burke in interview. MESZ Already at odds with President?
Btw Mesz..why didn't you contact the Pittsburgh transit system to get that bus shelter poster? ...I think of these things.
Quoted from meSz:Slow down bacon ..... I still think LeTang is well over paid. He's certainly not worth over 7 mill a year but in last few weeks he's played a lot better. Honestly, be a good time to trade him as well as Malkin.
Plus need to wait and see what Burke does at trade deadlineCuz I was given one!
Pics or didn't happen
Quoted from luch:Galchenyuk gets a goal tonight !
Why galchenyuk Luch? ...does he really deserve to be part of the blue and white??; what's the 5 teams in 2 year stuff? He better shine
Quoted from meSz:Slow down bacon ..... I still think LeTang is well over paid. He's certainly not worth over 7 mill a year but in last few weeks he's played a lot better. Honestly, be a good time to trade him as well as Malkin.

Burke interview on hockey central yesterday. Nothing salative.
Quoted from luch:he's got something to prove ! he got a taste of the minors , first time in his career , he won't want to go back there
Another point I have for canadian and American talent pool Luch. Buffalo has zero scouts in Canada no wonder they suck. Ummm the Windsor spitfires/London Knights , Owen sound etc.. are in your backyard.
Quoted from luch:i say buffalo blows up the whole team ! stay tuned for news at 11
Cue the Hue manitee blow up meme!
Quoted from luch:Galchenyuk gets a goal tonight !
Really hope Leivo does more than Galchenyuk
Thx Hue!
Pinside Playoff pool pre -plan time?
Be 4 years in a row defending champ for the Bacon!,(.I speak in 3rd person now.) aside from the Soviet tinkering with year 1.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I'd be down for a Pinside playoff pool again. I'm sure we could get a dozen Pinsiders to join for the heck of it.
Set it up and I'll consult my crystal ball for my picks )
The defending champion says he’s not setting it up. I asked bacon.

Quoted from hwyhed:Canucks 1st game in almost 3 weeks..20+ players inc. coaches w ‘the covid’ Holtby stands on his head, and has arguably his best game as a nuck. The Couve w an impressive 3-2 ot win over the Leafs! I do hope that Hyman is okay after that bs knee on knee from Edler..
I hear ya on the bs knee, but having played I agreed with Biexa, Sometimes it’s a natural motion
2 nice back to back wins for the Couv. I'm happy for the team and was actually hoping they would win. Right on. Hovart should make Team Canada.

Yup..The printed one sent to my home is not read and goes directly minty in a plastic cover. I read the on line copy which is included in the gold membership. No swag available but I plan on taking care of this with an email to Mr. Roustan.
Colin Campbell , George Parros, Bernie, and the goonest of all Chris Pronger all great choices made by the NHL for player safety
If I were in your skates;
I would get the printed version of the hockey news. It's cheap for a yearly hardcopy /monthly subscription and you get the On - line copy. Be like bacon in the know. That's all I ask from santa every Christmas. That's it....and beer cards.
Quoted from meSz:What an embarrassment for the NHL. It's time to fire Parros and Bettman.
Every year you put a dark drape over your head about your beloved Pens! Lol
I would Love to see Pens vs Leafs eh Mesz ?
Hue can you please post a person wearing black baklava with the slit eyes cut out ..With funny Mesz caption?

Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Just ordered one from Crappy Tire.
It's actually fun and removes the entire 6 inch root. Congrats !
Quoted from finnflash:Oh really. Some here are almost full capacity it seems like.
Not trying to be lovey Dovey, but full respect for being a Selanne fan.
Quoted from TheLaw:Fucking Pens day games...horrible
Been like that forever ..Wonder same thing
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Games all day today!!
1230pm, 3pm, 5pm and 530pm
Good thing I stocked up on beer yesterday
Sobeys open tomorrow
Quoted from SynthHead:I don’t know about that, he’s defensively sound and strength up the middle is huge especially this time of year. He can also add some depth scoring from someone other than the big 3. I think you’re underplaying him a little but with that said he’s a scumbag. That hit was such BS man and he does something dirty every playoff it seems.
On another note my heart is with JT. The way his body reacted reminded me of Marc Savard. Unfortunately I think he might be in a dark room for a few months.
He should retire the season?(Tavares)
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:He should retire the season?
Tavares
Quoted from shlt_thunder:Yep. I’ve stopped picking the most logical or favorites and kind of just started picking my favorite teams as it seems that is often as good of a choice as trying to pick who I actually think will win. I knew having the Blues win the Stanley Cup with the Avs, Knights and/or Wild was an extreme long shot.
Here Come the violins!
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:If I get a Vegas win it hurts a lot of your brackets!
Quoted from ImNotNorm:cdnpinbacon
A penny for your thoughts before tonight's game 7?
If the Habs continue outhitting the Leafs almost 2-1 , they have a chance. Keefe is also being out coached.
Losing Tavares is a big deal and Muzzin is out for 3 weeks replaced by Sandin tonight. Habs need to be physical to stand a chance , if not I think the leafs will take game 7
Quoted from hwyhed:I’m a habs fan 2nite. To blow a 3-1 lead..Dubas will have to answer a lot of questions..pressure has got to be more on the leafs this evening
I think more so Keefe.
Quoted from hwyhed:It’ll be interesting to see if Hrudey, Friedman, anyone on the panel will predict that the habs win this game. Who’s gonna be the hero 2nite?
Matthews
Quoted from hwyhed:I think u said 4-2 leafs..but I can hardly hear u..
Andys a drunk bastard
Quoted from hwyhed:I dunno man. Solid season, you go up 3-1 in a series. You lose 2 in OT. Then get silenced by arguably 1 of our generations best goalies w out a cup. The boys will reflect upon the season, and make changes. Shit, at least u made the playoffs
Questionable lineups , goofy challenges, GONE
Quoted from meSz:Give ya Malkin for him! (wait is that USD or CAD)
At least he won a cup.
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Jones is a UFA.
Trade a big contract for prospects and sign Jones.
I bet the Leafs will be in the mix for Jones
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Would need to move a lot of money out though.
Can be done
He’s young Luch and maturing as a person/player ...eat Mitch , eat! He needs an Italian mother as a billet!
I'm really sorry to go off topic again but Jennifer botteril Is beautiful and very hockey smart. Love her on CBC.
Interesting timing on Quebec considering full amexxation from Canada.. Wonder the birthplace of the series refs?
Most of the Canadian illuminati are stationed at St George (secret bunker is Aurora Ont. )And the head honchos ruled by the mob in Quebec.
Quoted from hwyhed:I wonder if the Sabres take that D man Owen Power w the 1st pick? And does Eichel stay in Buffalo?
Eichel does not want to stay in buffalo,
Ryan kessler has multi pinball in his house ...saw a nice T.o.M on TV for a new show he's making
Wonder if he's on pinside ?
Great player ! Tough as nails too
My Rogers cable/Internet is crashed until Wednesday! Pretty sure squirrel chew on the wire again.
Lame. Have fun watching the games
folks.
No tv. Time to read a book I guess. I would read the hockey news but they don't take care of their customers.
Quoted from Meegis:All good happy and healthy.
Lack of sleep is our only issue thus far
Congrats Hue!!! Never too early for bob skates!
Quoted from Meegis:You been drankin.... I ain't hue
Yes I have ...congrats Meegis.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Dougie Hamilton had a few words to say about Tampa's salary cap situation, lol.
Just shut him down and next question
Blah blah blah
Quoted from sixtyfourbits:I can't believe I missed this thread until now.
I was really hoping for a Tampa vs Colorado final.
Now I'm hoping for a Tampa vs Montreal final.
I really don't like Vegas or the New York Islanders, so this season could end miserably for me yet lol.
Umm you have been playing hockey !
First the Lightning find a loophole in having all their players come back for the beginning of the playoffs and being 20 million over the cap and now this!!!!
That's a really good point...pardon the pun
Quoted from luch:he can't he's still waiting for his hair spray to dry !
Leaf fans will never forgive Fraser.
Deservedly so. How exactly did he miss Gretzkys high stick???? Unbelievable and a dark stain on the NHL that will never be wiped away.
Quoted from poppapin:It is NY!
Wonder when the contents auction will start for the barn. Love to have a seat. The building being demolished I would assume?.
Olympic golds get re-awarded to the proper winner after cheating scandals.
Toronto Maple Leafs are the Stanley Cup champions of 1993.
Quoted from TheLaw:You're usually drunk but this is a new low!
LOL!!!!
I say Vegas win 2 nite--all money pushed in...basically zero until ontario betting law on 1 game goes live
I meant to say Montreal likely to win tonight...
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Is it game time yet???
Can't wait ...can't wait !!!!!!!!
Quoted from hwyhed:I’m happy for the Canadiens, they’re definitely the cinderella team this year. Price has been spectacular tween the pipes, and their pk is on a very long streak. So glad it’s not the leafs going to the finals..puck the leafs n go habs!
Ouch HWY Head finishes a dismal 6th!
Please call your local radio station questioning why Toronto does not have a franchise. I would appreciate it.
Quoted from hwyhed:Put the bong down amigo
Haha! Meant for the NFL thread.
Quoted from hwyhed:Put the bong down amigo
You Lost a little Street cred with that 6TH PLACE FINISH
Quoted from meSz:No congrats to TB "Cheaters"
Secret-agents are usually impatient...calm down.
Quoted from poppapin:It's at home! Tampa takes game #1
Same
Quoted from luch:your 2 games short
He was being clever ...should of up voted and will. I got a chuckel
I think marner is going to be a beast during next season and playoffs. A kid like this will figure it out Luch
Quoted from ImNotNorm:But I want Montreal to win the cup. Just going on a hunch Tampa will win game 1.
Is Hue speaking in third person now??
July is this week buddy hang in there!
Sheldon Keefe seems more interested in his own quaff . Fired . May be the worst Leaf coach since doug carpenter .
Quoted from meSz:Taking the Habs in the upset!
See...It’s all the martinis talking Mesz.
I know everyone is lovey-dovey about the Habs But ZERO chance they beat Tampa. Sorry No Cinderella shoe.
