Leafs acquire Grabner

Vinnik? That was a fun ride from start to finish.

Vinnik? That was a fun ride from start to finish.

Richard Vinnik, Daniel Panik, what's the difference? The only thing that matters here is that SOME Maple Leaf is better than Jurco. Because the Maple Leafs do it right, and the Wings don't. Hence their respective levels of success throughout the years.

You mean like how you always used to say that Subban was "cocky"? Or like how Chara and Weber absolutely kill Johnny Gaudrea because he's so small?

Do you ever get tired of just repeating the same tropes over and over again or is that half the fun?

Being black and good at a white mans sport = cocky. Even when donating 10 million to dying children

And now Nylander is "cocky" too. Despite the fact that he has not played a single shift of professional hockey, we've already seen him enough to judge his character. Right.

Apparently if you're European, and a hockey player, you should hang your head in shame when playing for an NHL team. How dare you think you're any good.

According to dipwad, Mrazek's also cocky.

Of course he is. He's not from Ontario.

Maybe this is stretching, but if you're not from southern ontario you're basically garbage on all levels

Ironically, you'd be a perfectly decent garbage man. Otherwise, you're worthless.

Forget it mixed up Panik and Vinnik.

just like in Toronto this will be a clean slate chance for everyone but I'm very sure guys like Pulkinnen, Jurco won't be wings next fall of they don't step up their game simple as that.

And who exactly is going to replace them? You need cheap young players that you developed in the cap world. Pulks is 23 and Jurco is 22. Your acting as if they have been in the league for 6-7 years and aren't doing anything. They were both coached by Blashill, they know how he is and coaches. They will be fine.

Yeah, that story is absolutely incredible. He's a great person, wish more athletes would follow his lead and do stuff like this. Good of the guys like Z and others to do there part too, he does a lot for the community and for the organization.
