PrintToday is Sunday, January 24th and it's National Compliment Day in the United States. Seeing as how the US and Canada are good friends, I figure it can be National Compliment Day in Canada as well. So on with some compliments.
Brian Burke - You're really good at building a playoff caliber team.
Ron Wilson - You're among the best special teams coaches in the NHL.
Vesa Toskala - Kids across the world hope to one day be as good at goalie as you are.
Phil Kessel - The great orators of our day pale in comparison to your mastery of the spoken word.
Jason Blake - Where can I get a great tan like yours?
Rickard Wallin - Where did you get those silky smooth hands?
Tomas Kaberle - No better shot from the point in the game.
That's all the compliments I have for now. Look for part two of this series on March 27th, National Opposite Day!
Gimme them links!

Mats Sundin - Your selfless waiving of your no-trade clause to help us kick start the rebuilding process was unprecedented! Thanks!
"I will take the subway - we were on the subway last night...I'm not above riding the subway or riding on a bus, I don't care. As long as people don't hit me." --Ron Wilson
(yes, I know he earned the right…yada yada yada) but FUCK! watching the game last night was just depressing.

Compliment day
Lee Stempniak, you have a nice, full head of hair
I'll roll up on you smooth and punch you in the jeans
No need to selfishly hoard our love only for the Leafs
Jarkko Ruutu, you personify class, dignity, and the joy to be alive in a world full of your fellow humanity.
hahahahahaha!!!
well, if we’re doing that…..

Toronto Maple Leafs organization, you haven’t just fielded the worst Leaf team anyone’s seen since the 80s. Keep up the good work.
Boo hoo!

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a talented hard working club that I enjoy watching 82 times a year.

09-10 Maple Leafs – thanks for helping me teach my kids the words in the English language that their Catholic school teachers fail to enlighten them with.
Go Leafs Go!!!

Stevie Y, you are the finest evaluator of defensive talent on the planet.

Seems like National Sarcasm day… which around here is pretty much every day.

Man that's depressing
I just noticed…the Leafs are now 8 pts behind the 5th worst team in the league (who also have two games in hand on us). Operation Let’s Not Give Up A Lottery Pick sure looks grim at the moment.
sigh.

Kadri Watch
another 4 point night for nasty Naz (2g 2a)
he is now 11th in OHL scoring while playing only 36 games out of the 47 he could have if not for Leaf camp and the WJC

AHL, at least to start.
I've always wanted to be a PPP Princess. You see kids, you can be anything you want to be; so long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to be that.

unless he absolutely runs shit at training camp he starts with the marlies

unless he dominates training camp
AND puts on some serious muscle. There are small guys in the NHL, but not THAT small.
(though when your body changes so much, methinks you often are inconsistent for a while until you adapt to it… so I’m saying no way is he with the big team next year – either not big enough, or not big long enough).
Pretty sure being in the AHL burns ELC eligibility.

Not to be one of those guys but.......
Schenn played last year with apparently zero concern for such things – even though defencemen are known to develop at a much slower rate than forwards.
This might be the angry kneejerk Leaf fan in me, because I have argued all season with the hosers who declare that Kadri should have made the team out of training camp, but at this point I’m willing to try anything.
Sigh…
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Schenn is built like a truck, Kadri is built like a mini cooper
There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E"
