If I missed a game we won, I'll watch. If we lost, nuts to that!

Yeah, $179 + tax (I'm Canadian) for the season is a good deal. If I miss a game, I can always watch it later. I was watching some of the Sept 17th game against the B. Hawks. Gotta get my money's worth!

I've been seeing articles about which teams can sign Marner. With the Leafs creating a mess with their cap signing Tavares, I can see Marner signing elsewhere. He's worth giving up four 1st round picks.

Good plan, the Tigers could use a 2Bman

stupid Leafs had to give up a 1st round pick to get rid of Marleau's contract! They're always going to be second tier, with too much money on their forwards.

It was always fun when they were dating, during breaks in the play, looking up at the Luxury Boxes to see if Anna was there

I know it's said in a draft to pick the best player available, but we're at a point now where we need to draft certain types of players. We have a lot of young forwards, so we need defencemen with size, and get a starting goalie soon. If Seider is the guy we wanted, I don't have a problem with it.

You can be cheap, like me, and watch it for free if you want. I was all ready to pay $5, but someone put it on youtube for nothin' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voN3IrxZFpw Very well done, it's emotional at the end with the limo accident and winning the Cup again in 1998. Oh, I was also yelling at the TV when they showed Claude Lemieux sucker punch Kozlov and hit Draper, "I hate you Claude Lemieux!!" ... I will always hate that snake!

The Leafs defense positioning is horrible. I know Babcock doesn't have much to work with, but you'd think a Stanley Cup and Gold Medal winning coach could come up with a better defensive system. Hockey is fast, but it's a positional game. How hard is it to tell someone to stay in a certain area of the ice? I've not been impressed with his coaching the last two years. Those would be fun. I'm in!

The Leafs are a mess. Dubas is clueless. I know Holland the last few years wasn't well liked, but at least I could see he had a plan. For example, contracts were expiring the same time guys needed extensions and raises. Dubas has no plan.

Welcome back Stevie!

How do the Leafs lose Game 4 + 6? I have not been impressed with Babcock the last two playoffs. If Boston wins the series, I think the Leafs should consider firing Babcock.

you said BJ's!

I wonder if the Leafs have blown it? Now they have to win at least one more game in Boston to take the series. You gotta win Game 4 and take a 3-1 series lead. Bruins have the home ice back.

I need to grow up, I laugh everytime I see the Blue Jackets referred to as the "BJ's". It's like when I hear the word "duty". I called them the "BJ's" over text tonight, and laughed

Hey at least the 1995-96 Red Wings made it to the conference finals

If Tampa is swept, I blame Yzerman. He put this team together, I don't want him as our next GM. Kidding!

I was at a meet and greet media event in Toronto last night. TSN radio personalities were there talking Leafs and Raptors playoffs. One of the guys there from TSN, was Jamie McLennan. Since I'm a smart aleck, and old enough to not be star struck, I told McLennan I'm a Red Wings fan, and said I remember when he two hand slashed Franzen in the 2007 Playoffs. Jamie laughed and said, "Franzen went down easy, and he resurrected the next day to score the series winning goal in over time". We made more small talk about that series, and I got a picture with him. Jamie's wife, Steff, is one of the producers of the radio show he's on. She was there too and I told her the same thing, I'm a Wings fan and remember when Jamie slashed Franzen. Steff laughed and said, "Yeah Jamie will never live that down". Walking out at the end of the night, I saw Steff again. I told her I got a picture with Jamie, enjoyed meeting him, so all is forgiven. Again she laughed. She added, their sources are saying Yzerman becoming the next GM of the Red Wings, is pretty much a done deal. Oh, I'll add Jeff O'Neill was there too, but he was kind of a jerk. I said to him, how great a team the 2001-02 Hurricanes were, and how nervous I was playing them in the Final. He just kind of looked at me, and brushed me off. Whatever Jeff.

Hey, it's cool. Have at it!

I have witnesses, when the Leafs signed Tavares I said, "Why did they do that? They've upped the value of all their young stars. Matthews and Marner are going to want what Tavares makes, and Nylander can ask for a little less" They're stuck with Nylander now. Marner is worth draft picks, another team will sign him. I was reading Kadri has an in-person hearing with the league, which means he can be suspended for 5 games. Sounds to me like he's done for the series. The Leafs better calm down, and get back to the way they played in Game 1. Playing physical with the Bruins will get them no where. The Bruins star players can hit, the Leafs star players can't. Game 2 is how the Bruins want the series to be played.

I don't know how Dubas thinks he's going to keep everyone.

Wow, this turned into a political discussion. Nice

If that was the case, I don't blame him. The bar we were at, had great food. The beer was good too, they brew their own, and only sell their's.

I think Washington is going back to back. I have no science to back it up, I just think pressure's off and they'll be more relaxed.

Do big name coaches want to come here now? Maybe in 2 years they will. I see Blashill as a bridge coach. I agree. The Leafs defense is weak. Guys on the blueline look clueless, and are out of position a lot. I blame that on coaching.
