Mäplë Lëäfs Mëtäl Möndäy
Good morning all. The name of the game is 80's Hair Metal. Every link has a lyric from some band of that era, either modified slightly or a direct quotation. Some might be easy, some might be hard but for the most part I tried to be as obscure as possible. The winner gets to be Mëtal for the day.
To get you in the mood, enjoy some Metal Skool with Entourage's Jeremy Piven doing some AC/DC. Ya, it's all kinds of awesome, especially after a few drinks (what isn't?)
Oh, and completely NSFW language. 'Cause it's metal, duh.

- No lyrics in this link, but Arch has the Handsome Man's Guide to music. It's a darn good read if you ask me... :)
- TO Sports has a look down the middle of the line up, and they don't like what they see. Maybe big talk is just cheap talk.

- Not hockey related, but the "TWSS" headline caught my eye. Here is an exercise in marketing faux pas. Was it good for you?

If "to Wellwood"
means to liquify the wings, put it into an IV bag and inject it into your vein, you certainly can and I would even pay to see it!

We’ll see if it goes up:
A shouting match with Ron Wilson? That’s not what the video shows. The video shows you asking an incredibly dim question and Wilson, rightfully, teeing off on you. Thanks for the anecdotes that show that it wasn’t so much a one-off as a pattern of slow behaviour on your part.

My favourite part of the “Centre of Attention” article by TOSports (and I’m not ripping on it, just found this line funny):
Grabovski had career highs in goals, assists and penalty minutes last season.
Well, I can think of one very good reason why he had career highs last year.
i’m starting to think about not linking those articles, as the overwhelmingly negative output is almost as bad as a Cox article.
still, for sheer negativity, the Good Point link (glove tap to WAC for making sure I had grabbed it…) may take the cake this morning

Not sure what the relevance is with the picture of the girl in the Leaf jersey. I don’t really dig “the hard hitter” Ritter. Here’s another example of his, er, work:
Hell, Leaf fans were willing to give Burke the keys to the city! Now, after joining the Leafs halfway through the season, completing his first National Hockey League entry draft as Leafs GM and stumbling through the first two days of free agency, you are hard pressed to find a Leafs fan who isn’t ready to lock Burke in a room and throw away the key. I guess the saying is true, "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it."
You can draw your own conclusions.
That is, uh, unless you’re a Leaf fan.
by general borschevsky on Jul 27, 2009 11:16 AM EDT up reply actions
The relevance is that she is hot, and a girl wearing nothing but a hockey jersey is double hot.
all the relevance i need.
also, who the hell thought that about Burke? So far the only bad thing he has done to my mind is maybe get too verbal with the pursuit of Tavares which I still maintain is no huge deal. I mean NO SHIT he wants Tavares / a trade up.

A hot girl wearing nothing but a hockey jersey is super-double-hot (especially if she’s standing at the end of my bed – to the left of the TV so I can still watch the game), and in itself would make a great topic for a post. But it doesn’t need to be there in a post about centreMEN. It’s cheap. No class.
who the hell thought that about Burke?
Apperantly you did, and I did, and well, I guess we all did. I wonder what we’re all thinking now? I hope somebody tells me soon.

The Morris signing kind of negates the saving s made in the Ward trade by the B’s, doesn’t it? Sure doesn’t seem like Chiarelli has any desire to bring back Kessel

Bruins? In my Maple Leafs site?
It’s more likely than you think.
That said, I think the Morris signing was an upgrade. Aaron Ward had a ton of intangibles, and was great on the radio, but he wasn’t as fast as Morris. Then again, Morris was the hapless defenseman that Ovechkin and Rick Nash both turned inside-out for some highlight goals. That’s what we have Chara for, though, so I’m less worried.
As for Kessel, They’re probably moving Kobasew somewhere, which sucks because Kobasew is like 12 different kinds of awesome in a third-line sorta way. Kessel is obviously better, though, so we’d have to move him.
Most importantly, P.J. Axelsson is going home to Sweden, to play for Frolunda HC. :,-(

I hate dead cap space as much as the next guy but of the three players we are paying to take up space and not even lace up, he’s the smallest hit at a little over 250k.
That’s still 250k less we have to sign Kessel, but Chiarelli for some reason doesn’t seem to mind 2 million in dead cap space. I keep telling myself he must have a plan, it helps.

He couldn’t play all last year, and his numbers were declining before that.

why does everyone keep saying that Morris is a puck moving defensemam?? I think he has never has more than 40 points in a year. Nowhere near Kabny, or even Kubina…
