In Topic: ECQF - (5) Maple Leafs vs. (4) Bruins

Just happy to be there - zero expectations.

 

But boy do I hope Kessel pops a few in Boston.



Exactly, for a team that has been so bad for so long, the have some awfully cocky fans. I hope the bruins knock them down a peg

Every team - no matter how bad or good they've been - has fans like that.

 

Leafs fans just look like they're all morons because there's so many fans in general.

 

I've met quite a few Red Wings fans that you would be ashamed to be associated with.

Decent player, as long as you accept that he's going to miss 20 games every year.

In Topic: 2012 Lockout Watch

I don't think there's going to be a lockout, or at least one that puts a huge dent in the season.

There's no massive divide this time around, no issues that are causing rifts between the two sides. If you recall last time around, the only thing they would say about meetings was "no progress" and that would be it. We're not hearing that this time around.

It just has a different feel this time. Instead of having a whole new system to create, it's a case of tweaking what is already in place.

I suspect it will come right down to the Sept. 15th deadline, but I think it will get done.


If there's another lockout, then I'm definitely in the "Fire Bettman" camp. It takes two sides to negotiate, but Bettman is ultimately the steward of the league. And three lockouts under his reign is just too much damage to the sport. Especially if this third one results in any lost games, because while the CBA could use some tweaking, the league is hardly in a dire situation.


It is worth mentioning that Gary Bettman has never negotiated a CBA without a work stoppage.

$7.5 million for Doan is outrageous, and there's probably a GM out there who will give it to him.

Shanny deserves to be there, and will be.

Sundin lugged around dead weight for wingers for almost 13 years and still scored over 1,300 points. He took Jonas Hoglund, an absolute worthless sack of crap of a hockey player and got nearly 30 goals out of him.
