It would be interesting to know the specifics of the wheeling and dealing (if any) that go on behind the scenes when it comes to putting and claiming players off waivers i.e., between Winnipeg Ottawa and Vancouver Toronto.

Ho hum is the way these types of ‘bombshell’ ‘breaking news’ reports seem to land. Even stuff like the attack on Capitol Hill that happened in real time right in front of all our faces isn’t enough to say stop this madness. We’ve seen Kellyanne Conway’s ‘Alternative facts’ phrase back in 2017 gradually take complete hold of this country and is strangling the life out of it one unchecked (other than twitter shaming)blatant lie after the other.

From the Athletic Monday March 15th, 2021: The Maple Leafs have five regulation losses in their past six games. The big questions: What's wrong? And how do they fix it? Not bad, I'll take that headline. 🙂

https://www.tsn.ca/morning-coffee-auston-matthews-to-the-rescue-for-toronto-maple-leafs-1.1606451 Ahh that wasn't the headline I was asking for.

I get that. Where they seem to cross paths in their thinking is having a loud and vocal minority seed chaos and confusion within the system to dismantle it, in this case today the system being democracy.

Finished watching the Unabomber season on Netflix and they shared excerpts of his manifesto which sounds a lot like what the GOP is trying to implement.

Interesting use of words, blending rich heritage with fresh thinking. Where's that sweet spot? I'm really beginning to dislike this Covid19.

Lets make it L4 and tomorrow's headline reads Leaf's call a player only meeting.

I would add one more thing to your sentence: ‘Prove me otherwise’. I would love to hear from posters who disagree with this statement.

Yup Riders suck talented or not.

Truthfully I really don't care where the Riders are in terms of talent other then making sure we scheme correctly when playing them. The only need to be objective here is yea they are important for the league but that's as far as I need to go. I really dislike them and enjoy every minute when we beat them, not feeling the need to objectively announce if they are a good team. I'll save that announcement for the Bomber players and coaching staff in their standard pregame interviews to limit billboard material.

Ahh don’t forget about #31 Rick House.

These people are teaching a whole new generation of stupid.

Let’s come up with the blueprint to sweep the Leafs like the Leafs did with the Oilers which will help this performance against Mtl become a distant memory.

Need that men in black memory forgetter stick applied on this one. Ugh.

There's actually a lot of sound research on this that supports this sentiment (pushes glasses up to nose).

Not sure how force them to work will land with some. Obviously my hope is not well.

Had a thought where it would be interesting to track thru the season ugly wins versus good wins knowing that comes with many complexities and elements of subjectivity. You hear constantly a win is a win but from a coaches standpoint that doesn’t necessarily land well at times.

Off topic a bit but still with our D units, Kevin Bieksa poured shade all over Niku for not responding to being cross checked to the head by a Montreal forward. He’s got a point plus no response from any other Jet. Niku was being lined up all night for the big hit. This is where we miss the presence of A guy like Buff.

I’m beginning to think Jack Eichel might indeed be a coach killer.

Don't think so. Calgary with Horse's reference to Hufnagel.

Wheeler looks off tonight. Lots of lost puck battles and timing off. I assume he’ll score the winner now.

Yup Vezina says hi.

Oh forgot one thing. While Ehlers is flipping his hat trick puck to Perry, Ehlers says he hopes Perry enjoyed his seven minutes of ice time today.

Or ideally even better Ehlers can retrieve the puck from the net, flip it to Perry after scoring his third goal of the game.
