  1. "Men Who Stare at Goats"... Great series! Part I or II ??
  2. National news agencies never call me up for my opinion, but I think Mr G made necessary moves this year. We WERE going for it all, and we didn't make it with terrible injuries and the subsequent downloading of the team weight onto kid Price. He got Lang, Tanguay....did a simply wonderful job. And it didn't work out. Man proposes, Allah disposes as the Muslims say. It was time to gear up again and try to re-ignite the team. He had to gamble with Price and should at least give him this season to do or die. Losing Markov is a very big loss to this team, and I suspect we'd have a different dynamic if he were with us, but c'est la vie. In short I think Mr G has done an excellent job as GM and continues to do so. I am happier than hell, I have not had to look at him in the Leaf box for the last few years. Carry on uncle Bob and I'll try to have the good sense to see the course you're steering with a club that doesn't have the luxury of tanking a season, but which has to get the job done with late draft picks and entertaining hockey.
  3. I'm moderately moderate! In moderation of course.
  4. Living in Toronto as my moniker suggests, I am a much happier puppy for the win and would have HATED to have gone in after a loss .....ugh. Boy that first line is quick! The guys are rockets. Sad as I truly am to see Kovalev an Koivu departed, I'm pretty impressed with the new gang and believe uncle Bob did just what he had to do under the circumstances and thank goodness he has the credibility to effectively act in the league. So now we're no 2 in our division.
  5. Good point. I probably would have come back with Halak, but maybe this is why my mialbox has so few cheques from NHL teams in it. It probably is a good idea to warm him up in what ammounts to a low pressure situation. Does anybody know, can anybody know if Price is the real deal? I sure don't know. I'm sure about that!
  6. So far , score notwthstanding, I've been pretty satisfied with our intensity, and a bounce or two our way and.....
  7. I sure liked what I saw tonight. I am SOOOO happy with this game, and those bolts of blinding lightning that are electrifying our team. I too think we have a good defensive corps that will just get better. It sure looks like Martin got eveyone flying tonight , so God bless the new coach and here's hoping this gang has a lot of fun this year! At 1-3 , I wasn't this cheerful!
  8. That's the most excitement we've seen from our first line for a while. I think uncle Bob had to make the moves he did.
  9. Im beginning to like this guy... one on three for three!
  10. I like our first line a lot better than Koivu, Ryder and Higgins...... much as I liked Higgy and Koivu.
  11. I guess if one's a commentator, one just keeps commenting... Most of the time I don't mind McGuire too much. He has to play for the Toronto audience too. YAH HABA!!!
  12. Halak did well on the last two, especially the earlier one.
  13. True....but I'll take it....gladly! I'm such a slut! HAHAHAHA! It's a good thing I don't work in TV... I'd get it for sure.
  14. That's what I was thinking about Martin too. The team really seems energized. Good for them.
  15. The guys seem to be flying tonight. Lots of spirit! So nice to see. It looks lke they're having fun out there which is so important.
  16. Gotta like that Metropolit. Can see why uncle Bob scooped him up. I missed it.. what was it?
  17. That was a nice little backpass by Gill, got the play moving and out.
