Meller93 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 From an actual textbook: https://i.imgur.com/j7LlyEW.jpg (I'd normally embed the pic in here but it's a tad on the big side...) Amazing hahah! My parents (Habs fans DUH) are going to the Habs-leafs season opener at the air canada center! I'll make sure they're sufficiently anti-maple leafs Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 We interrupt this Anti-Maple Leafs thread to bring you why the Boston Bruins are a complete disaster: http://www.csnne.com/boston-bruins/boston-bruins-aim-in-new-season-reunite-a-divided-team Be sure to catch how he's not quoting anyone but saying if you applied truth serum to a player, and how "bringing in toughness and taking out softness" completely forgets Lucic's name to make his point. Also, "adding Zac Rinaldo" as if he isn't the biggest minus you could acquire for a third round pick. Quote
dlbalr Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 The Leafs have banned their broadcasters from team-chartered flights. Toronto doesn't have designated TV broadcasters as their games are split between TSN and Sportsnet (some regional games, some national games). They do, however, have a designated radio crew who calls the games for both TSN and Sportsnet's radio networks. This means that the owners of those two stations (which happen to be Rogers and Bell, the two majority owners of the team) would have to pay to send their PBP duo to road games. Surprisingly, neither of them plan to do so. As a result, their road games will now be called out of a radio studio while they watch the TV broadcast. The richest team in hockey that makes the most money that's owned by two of the richest companies in Canada (if not the two richest) are now going to provide their fans with a super cheap radio broadcast with a quality that will probably be poorer than minor league teams. All to save a few bucks. To quote one of the affected announcers, Holy Mackinaw. That's hilarious and pathetic all at once. http://torontosportsmedia.com/sports-and-toronto/joe-bowen-jim-ralph-staying-home-for-leafs-road-radio-games/20194 Also, it's nice to see that TSN is spreading the attention around...here's a screenshot of their site from earlier today: http://i.imgur.com/BniVF6G.png Edit: Sportsnet/TSN came to their senses late in the day and will now cover the expenses for send the PBP team to the road games: http://www.ottawasun.com/2015/09/28/bowen-ralph-to-call-leafs-road-games-from-toronto Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Also: P.A. Parenteau is practicing on the fourth line behind Boyes, Lupul (until he gets hurt) and Grabner. Quote
JMMR Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 We need to collectivly cheer for the Leafs so they don't finish in the bottom 5. I loved that they came back and picked up 2 points tonight. Optimus Reim!!!! Quote
DON Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Yes cant believe am saying this, but hope Leafs start winning a few more. Quote
Habs30/31 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Hope they finish last. Don't want top players going to teams that could actually rebuild and be a threat one day. Leafs could have first over all pick 5 years in a row.....and do less with them than the Oilers. Rebuild number 4,628 underway. Quote
Habs30/31 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Also: P.A. Parenteau is practicing on the fourth line behind Boyes, Lupul (until he gets hurt) and Grabner. Be on the fifth by the time Babs is done. Quote

They need to finish out of the playoffs just barely. That way a mid pick and a little hope then they get trashed again. I love it. 1 Quote

DON Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Yes good to see them win, but they still are picking top 10. Quote
Habs30/31 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I can never figure this league out. Gave up on pro line for this reason years ago. First place habs get smoked at home by Avs 6-1. Then last place AHL leafs smoke Avs 5-1. there's just no telling. Quote
JoeLassister Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I'm with u on this one. NHL is by far the toughest pro sports league to bet on and win money. NFL got some undefeated teams ever year after 6-7 games and some crap teams as well. NBA seasons often finish with some teams losing only 15 to 25 games or so. MLB got pitchers on good teams who finish the season with some kind of 18W-4L records. NHL, it. Oilers, Blue Jackets, Hurricanes, Flyers and all can beat any team on any given day, backup goalies or not. Quote
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The other thing I find with the league today is that teams seem to go on these massive hot streaks, more than in the past. (Of course, I can't quantify this - it's an impression). Look at the Rangers, rattling off something like 11 straight wins, or the Habs before then. More than before it seems to be a streaky league. Just a thought. Quote

Just a thought. The Rangers are at 9 wins. They still haven't surpassed our streak from the beginning of the season. I tend to agree with your assessment and it would be crazy for the Rangers to pull off 10 in a row so soon after our quest for the greatest start in our history. It is still very early in the season after all and both these streaks have already happened. Quote

illWill Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 I met Shayne Corson today and he had a Leafs jersey on. Don't worry, I gave him crap about it Quote
