I made it two sentences into that Nazem Kadri piece before I the penny dropped.
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
From Crash the Crease
Some pro scouts have said that Kadri needs to play with more talented players because he needs players of a certain skill set to capitalize on some of the more difficult passes and opportunities he creates.

Hope he gets that sorted out before he reaches the NHL.

He can come over to Peterborough any time he likes. He’ll be able to teach Barron Smith how to pass and maybe even score.

Why is the schedule so effed this year, is it the Olympics?
I prefer Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday games. I fear change.

wish me luck tomorrow night in the windy city kids. hopefully i don’t get stabbed and leafs don’t stink up the joint. my “opponent’s barn” record is 1 – 2 – 0 right now, getting it to .500 would be nice. really though, as long as it’s not like the buffalo fiasco a few years ago i’ll be happy.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
jeez, another person going?

hey, I live in Chicago, so I’m going. (Hawks fan, though) up in section 333. no jersey yet, so I’ll probably show up in my orange leather trenchcoat again, I’m getting superstitious about wearing it to games…
I wouldn’t mind meeting Leafs fans, obviously I think you’re entertaining here, and I haven’t had much luck getting to games w/Hawks fans. the ones I know live in other states, and my Chicago friends tend to be aggressively uninterested in sports…

well, I’ve met some of the Chicago hockey bloggers, so that’s a start. one Hawks fan I know used to live here but probably isn’t moving back, another is in Boston and has thought of moving here but no plans. (I’m also a Hawks and Bruins fan b/c he’s the friend who first got me into hockey)

Phil Kessel plays for Toronto now, may as well root for the Leafs instead.

Question. Dumb ass question.

CRAZY THOUGHT
The Leafs RFA list includes Gustavsson, Hanson, White, Mitchell, Kulemin and Tlusty.
Could there be a chance (a dangerous chance albeit) that Burke allows these guys to remain unsigned, in the hopes an offer sheet comes through, potentially garnering some picks back?
I have nothing interesting to say.
by blurr1974 on Nov 12, 2009 10:41 AM EST reply actions
Not Gustavsson but otherwise doubtful. The compensation for them would most likely not include a first rounder and I’m not sure I’d give up those guys for a second round pick.

If Gunnarsson has the potential to be even better than White, would you let him get snatched up (personal feelings of mustache love aside?)
I have nothing interesting to say.
by blurr1974 on Nov 12, 2009 10:45 AM EST up reply actions
If Gunnarsson doesn’t pan out and we give away White for nothing?

it’s always a gamble. just thinking that Gunnarsson had such a good camp, he might create even more of a log jam on the d next season. never a bad thing, just thinking out of the box.
like i said, it would be a dangerous gamble on Burke’s part, but would keep him from eating bad contracts just to recoup picks.
I have nothing interesting to say.

Gunnersson had a great camp, but has had a pretty shite season so far from what ive heard
Mikus us playing well though

It was his third year in the league when I was a rookie and it was pretty much my first start came against the Colts. Peyton came over on our field and said, ‘Hey, I’m Peyton Manning.’ I said, ‘No shit.’
Tom Brady fucking rules.

He’s wearing it ironically mr. hipster

He’s wearing the hat because it was the first thing he could find to keep the sun out of his eyes while he rushed to save a billion orphans from a flooding and burning hospital that was about to get hit with a tornado.
Duh.

I think I know what you’re trying to get at here, and you’re right. We should probably boo him forever for appearing in a couple pictures with a yankes haTHREE SUPERBOWLS

You’ve got me wrong. I like Brady, and he’s a Yankee fan to boot. What’s not to like?
Apparently the Yankee thing stems from his friendship with Drew Henson.
It’s that thing they play from mid-september to whenever the red sox lose.

Vintage Leafs also has this Ted Fauss shot, which might be the only one you ever see. Fauss and Dale DeGray – two guys I thought needed way more of a chance of the Leafs blue line.
Leaf, the universe and everything.
For reference
Ted Fauss was a mid-80s Leaf defenseman who was a career +10 (28 games). This is something that was thought to be a physical impossibility.
Leaf, the universe and everything.
Hey guys
one of my profs at college is a big flyers fan.
I see the big Go Flyerss!!1 thing around here means the fans are supposed to be pretty stupid. Anyway he ripped on the leafs in the obvious way (they suck, not gonna make the playoffs, 1967 etc.). I don’t know much about the flyers so what can say to get back at him?
Go Houston Rockets!
Well, there’s the fact that they haven’t won since 1975. You can send them the Go Flyers post to him. Laugh at him for Roman Cechmanek, Tommy Soderstorm, the Lindros trade, getting swept in 1995, Bobby Clarke insulting Roger Nielsen for having cancer, and on and on.

the 1975 argument wouldn’t work since that’s better than 1967
and the flyers weren’t swept in 1975?
Go Houston Rockets!
Yeah
It’s 8 years difference. Big whoop. If your professor hangs his hat on that then he’s an idiot.
Also, use reply.
And they were swept in 1997 by the Red Wings. My mistake.
