Monday Afternoon Fun!

This is the highest rated commercial apparently. I liked it well enough. There's not really that many things funnier than a bus coming off screen to kill someone.
This one was my mom's favourite commercial and of course she's right. I hate the 'drinkability' meme (seriously, it's ridiculous) but I like seeing people thrown out windows for being smart-asses. On a side note, Charles Barkley was a big fan of the height of the window.*
The rest of the Super Bowl XLIII commercials are available here.
In other news, last month was our best for visits and pageviews. We have to start a new streak of record breaking months because not enough of you hate your families enough although it was pretty close. Once again, it's a testament to everyone's contributions and the fact that I limit how offensive Chemmy is that people continuously stop lurking because everyone seems like good people.
If you're new, don't be shy. We want to hear what you have to say whether it's in a fanpost, a fanshot, or a comment. We aren't guilty of groupthink except on the important things like Luke Schenn's awesomeness so don't worry about ruffling feathers. Hell, Eyebeleaf is still coming here and he's the only person on the planet that still loves Mats Sundin. Also, if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. The best place is probably in the Chatty Cathy (down on the right hand side).
Don't know what TWSS or BCWW means? Who the hell is the Hockey Viking? Why isn't Chemmy allowed to buy a Luke Schenn jersey? Fire away. Chemmy and I are working on something (actually, I ask him to work on it, he says sure, and then we repeat that little routine ad infinitum) that will help answer everyone's questions about what they can do around here but in the meantime don't be shy.
But don't suggest drinking less beer because we'll throw you out of the window.
* When Charles Barkley was asked if he regretted throwing a patron of a bar through a window he replied: "I regret that we weren't on a higher floor."

Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option

Congrats
gentlemen. It looks like all the propaganda I’ve been spreading about this place is clearly not working.
Keep up the fine work.

Also
I stand in solidarity with eyebeleaf on Sundin, but I am taking a degree of satisfaction on his less than stellar performance for the Canucks.

I wouldn't say I still LOVE Mats Sundin
But I don’t like calling him “Fredo” either. I guess I’m still in like with Mats, not in love.
Zug be with you.

Here is a question, if both are available do you draft B. Schenn or Duchene?
by leafer1984 on Feb 2, 2009 3:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Schenn, I haven’t seen either one of them play (I’m in Southern California), but something tells me 2Schenns are better than one. But we’ll get him for the first rounder we get for Antro or Kabs, our 1st rounder is getting Traveres or Hedman

Schenn – Big, rugged, skilled player, ala the Burke Mold
Duchene – smaller, great speed, very skilled
I think with the team the way it is now, I personally think Duchene would be better for the Leafs, but hey you cant argue with drafting another Schenn.

Given the extreme suckiness of certain teams, Its looking more and more like we might end up out of the top 5 (draft picks), like 7th or 8th. If we’re collecting picks at the trade deadline, we may have 2 in the first round. So, does Burke trade up or keep them?
by blue with age on Feb 2, 2009 4:15 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Depends on where your best pick is. If it’s 6th and you think Schenn will be there, I think no you dont trade up. Ya I said it!
by leafer1984 on Feb 2, 2009 4:24 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
unless the two you were trading were #2 and #5, I don’t think you get your hands on Tavares….

i don’t believe it will be necessary.
I also have no idea what direction Burke is going to take this team. If we’re not 1st or 2nd, it’s a complete crap shoot.

Also if the Leafs have 2 first rounders it will be a top ten(theirs) and a bottom ten, if they trade any of their commodities it wont be to a team that isnt top ten in the league. You think Kaberle will waive to go to Columbus, Phoenix or any other team trying to get in the playoffs?
