Gas on a fire now.

were there reports that he's taken a turn for the worse or something? I haven't heard anything except for that statement from the Habs

Mike bossy died of lung cancer. 

Guy has lung cancer 

Habs fans are worried because bossy died 

So the prices for Arizona games have been released for next season 

Think Jets charge lots? 

5000 seat arena. 

It will be half empty with those prices.

I'm not sure how to insert the photo but it's out there in internet Land for those who can 

 

$110 is cheapest 

$445 most expensive 

Per game

oh, but were either of them smokers? (I'm well aware  you can get it even if you're not a smoker) but aren't here different variants of certain cancers? but I'm probably overthinking this

They all smoked, some of them smoked a pack a game. Yes bossy and guy smoked like chimneys 

They chain smoked all intermission 

My uncle knew some old old Jets..  Alexei Zhannov smoked like a pack a game between periods. 

They all did back then.

Famous photo of derek sanderson with a cigarette, in the locker room.

I Also think a lot  of the players in those days boozed it up.

I watched hockey a lot on the sixties ;   till five or ten years ago,  I thought some of those teams could play against modern teams.
 

wrong.

Cuz back then.... there were no snowflakes or woke culture to tell ppl what is good and isn't good for them . Concussions were just headaches. There were no Facebook or Twitter or tik tok or morningbigblue.com to post on. People were actually allowed to do what they wanted and nobody would Care because it didn't effect them directly 

Karen's didn't exist. 

Ya disagree all you want. It's all facts. Facts don't give a **** about people's feelings.

1. Everything everyone does affects everyone. How much treating la fleur cancer cost the public health care system? A few million?

Takes money away from treatment for sick people who did nothing to bring about their illness. 

2. "Not caring" is generally, not a good thing.

3.  If your parent or sibling has brain damage, it affects you too. It also affects everyone, cause it costs society a fortune to deal with this kind of problem.

4. A concussion is permanent brain damage. One concussion.

5. if the above is "woke" I am happy to be "woke".

it was the 80s! Of course they did....that's just common knowledge. 

I chuckled....

 

 

Austin Matthews hits 60 goals!  First player since Stamkos in 2011-2012.  Oddly enough Stamkos scored his 60th against the Jets.

Big milestone.  I hate the Leafs but gotta give credit where it's due. Congrats Mr. Matthews!

First American player to net 60 as well.  The Leafs (and more importantly, their fans) can eat a bag of d**ks but it is impressive.

Buffalo is not in the playoffs. 

I'm assuming the Buffalo thing was a shot at Eichel? But really Vegas tried to cheat the cap and it backfired. They did have some legit injuries to guys tho 

I can really see Mathews in a couple of seasons when he becomes a UFA ask for 15m x 8, Leafs better hope the salary cap jumps by then

He's already at almost $12M AAV. Wouldn't be a big stretch.
