I would like to put in early dibs on the “Two and a Half Men” Line for whatever line Phil Kessel plays on this season. You’re welcome!

On the other hand, if you’re primarily a Bruins fan and you see everyone else winning championships, it gets annoying. I’m glad they did, though, especially since it puts pressure on the Bruins to succeed.

I’d trade 17 NBA championships for one more stanley cup.

well done mattblack.

of course a swedish theme for the leafs is always appropriate given the greatest leaf of all time is swedish.

how about some saturday morning swedish music to celebrate the kessel trade! hopefully he pulls his weight.
