  1. Last night in Florida, the Leafs had two 5 on 3's in third period. Of course, they scored two PP goals and held on to win and break their 8 game losing streak. The refs gave the Leafs a late PP tonight and didn't call two sure thing penalties against them in the 3rd. Want to know why?

     

    The NHL wants the Leafs to be in the playoffs for one simple reason $$$$$$$. HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA TV RATINGS AND LABATTS ADVERTISING DOLLARS. No Leafs in the playoffs and ratings in Canada go down and advertising dollars go down. HNIC and Labatt's have a lot of pull with Gary Buttman. The Leafs have been getting all the calls going there way to keep them close to the 8th spot. Teams have to beat the refs first and then the hapless Leafs.

    Um ya. If you look you will find that the Leafs are much closer to the top of the most penalized teams.

     

     

    can't argue with that.  but i personally take pleasure in seeing the leafs fans cry after they get knocked out of the playoffs year after year.  they are seriously the most !@#$ fans you can get especially when they come to the bell centre.

    I know. But I think you really dislike them because they do make the playoffs year after year, where your team, well, well, poop.

  2. Is there something wrong with Sundin's vagina?  How come the mighty Quinn has him on the point on the PP?  Why in the world would you put a 6'4" 230 pound guy that far away from the net with the man advantage?  I understand that McCabe was out but he's back now.  Wouldn't it make more sense to put a different forward back there?

    Yes it make smuch more sense to abuse a guy cominhg back from a torn groin, you don't remember what happens with that type of thing?

     

    Oh, and nice officiating in Tampa tonight.  They give the Leafs a PP with about a dime left and then the Leafs literally commit two penalties within 15 seconds of each other and they call NEITHER.

     

    Note to DirectTV:  Never EVER give us the French feed from Montreal.  EVER.  Sucker blur.

    What whining?

    Yes, what whining indeed?

  3. I'm dealing with it now. It could be a lot worse I guess. But it sure could have been better.

    That is my point. Thats where I'm at.

     

     

    Dolphins fans mocking you?

     

    The just signed our old head coach (who took credit for play calling some of this seasons willingly) to run their offense, Led by Sage Rosenfels and Feely. Buffalo also came close to sweeping them this year with their below average team. Until our Sub Par Coaching staff blew a 21 point lead to give them the win

     

    Packers fans too?

     

    They look to have Rodgers as the starter this year since favre is looking at retirement and a rookie head coach. Didn't they also finish below Buffalo this year?

     

    And Vikings fans?

     

    C'mon their team brought back the terms "Love Boat" and "the origional Whizzanator" They gave away their top WR last year and their offense struggled, now they are looking at Brad Johnson to be their starter under a rookie head coach?

     

    I don't think any of those people should pity the Bills with the state of their teams.

    588597[/snapback]

     

    These are excellent points.

    The fish will pay hard for bringing in MM. I hope the guys there that didn't want Ricky Williams back will feel the same way about MM.

    I can see Jason Taylor asking MM, didn't you quit in Buffalo? <_<

     

    I see the Pack as taking a huge step backwards. They are in for 5 years of garbage like we have been in. :lol:

     

    Viking fans? Who cares???? :devil:

  4. Let me ask you this though..

     

    What if the Bills really improve the offensive line and the Bills can run the ball more efficiently...that would also really help KH, and his cap number is very friendly too.

     

    I think the Bills can win games with KH with the right tools around him.  And sure he dosent have the big arm, but he isnt as much of a liability as a Bledsoe.

    588527[/snapback]

     

     

    Why cut Holcomb?  He's decent enough for a backup, can play in a pinch and generally doesn't get rattled.  He played 8 games this year, and had one clunker.  I agree with bringing in another QB who can play a little, but no reason to cut KH.

    588529[/snapback]

     

    I agree an improved O line helps. But it helps anyone. KH has been around, I think that he will not take us anywhere better than mediocre.

     

    I agree also that he is decent enough for a backup. He should not be a starter though. So I would rather get a better guy and keep JP as the backup and wait him out if thats where his development is at.

     

    You know, MM really screwed us. We should know for certain at this point the results of this test.

  5. It's been a week now and I personally have calmed down. I was all for Mike Sherman but too bad. I really didn't want to see Jauron as the guy. However I do remember he had issues with the front office in Chicago and the public was upset at the way he was getting treated. I believe that was after they had a big year.

     

    He was not my choice but I am resigned to that fate. I am so fed up with the whole dog and pony show now that I will reserve judgement until we start playing again. All I can say is he better show me! He comes to us with HC experience and that, if nothing else is an improvement than what we were forced to accept from TD.

    If they cant get it done I will be an ugly, ugly customer however.

    So to Ralph, Marv and Dick, I expect a competitive, compotent operation starting from the draft.

  6. I know its cool to think about "Maybe the Bills should go after Vince Young"...or "Jay Cutler is having GREAT workouts and Simms says he has the best arm" (didnt Boller have a great arm too?!?!)...but cmon fellow Bills fans, right now the QB position, albeit not SET in stone, has two good things working in its favor:

     

    1. There is a young QB in Losman with a lot of upside

    2. A steady veteran in Holcumb who can keep the Bills aflot and even win some games

     

    Right now the mindset of Jauron, at least IMO, should be lets see who win the job in camp.  Make Losman EARN that spot.  If not, lets go with KH till Losman earns the right to start.

     

    Should the Bills take a stab on a QB in the later rounds of the draft?  Sure why not..but NO way should the Bills draft another 1st round QB!

     

    Just look at the teams in the Super Bowls in the last 40 years.  Most, if not all of them, were or are strong on the OL and DL...this right now is a MAJOR deficiency with the Bills and NEEDS to be priority #1 come March 1st.

    588507[/snapback]

     

    I agree with you somewhat. I am all for Losman, but I would rather cut Kelly and bring in a FA QB who can play rather than have Kelly starting.

  7. And a class A ass whipping by Buffalo over Toronto in the 99 Finals...Rob Ray showed mroe scoring prowess in that series then even your boy Sundin!!  :doh:  :doh:  :doh:  :lol:  :lol:

    586801[/snapback]

     

    If Hasek would have started the 2nd game instead of screwing us up and letting Roloson play we would have won that game and carried the series! :lol:

     

    Ya I know AD quit your whining already :lol:

  8. Would you quit your goddamn whining? 

     

    Your team got a snowman hung on them because they played like the Euro captained team that they are.  Unfortunately for Pat Quinn, you can't sign "guts" as a free agent.

    586257[/snapback]

     

    No I probably wont. Whining and making excuses are different things though.

     

    Unfortunately for Pat Quinn he is not the GM anymore or else I would like to think he would not have made some of the dubious moves our rookie gm did after the new agreement was signed.

     

    Toronto is a different animal compared to other teams sadly for the fans. The organization is about making money, not neccessarily wins and that is bull.

     

    By the way, you can sign "guts" as a free agent, but you have to know where to look. See Gary Roberts.

     

    I like Sundin but acknowledge the euro captain crap only because NO euro captained club has won a cup that I know of although in this new NHL, I expect that to change. Sundin has been a top flight player and captain during his tenure in Toronto. However like all Leaf captain's that I can recall, they get traded. I'm not sure but I think Keon may be the last one to retire as captain.

     

    Most of what you have to say is ok though, the Leafs certainly will not be buying their way out of this and this is all self created on their part by not doing things they should have like buying Belfour out. Telling Tie Domi stick it and take a hike and telling Wade Belak to get on the same bus. But they are doing some things right. Lindros was a right move. Allison was not.

     

    Lastly I would like to mention that I love Marty. I would gladly give you Allison for him :doh:

    And if Regeir can swing a Marty or Miller for Jovonovski or Bertuzzi, I hope he makes the deal. But my guess is Marty isn't going anywhere and it may be a great non move come playoff time.

  9. Hi beerme;

     

    I can assure you I am most certainly not Coach Mularkey.

     

    Cheers,

    Cool! I agree with you that they have an exact number of Canadian numbers that are corporate supported seats etc.

    The organization goe to great lengths to show their gratification for the Canadian fans they have including a Canada Day game. Which of course is not on Canada Day but who would know? <_<

     

    Cheers

  10. Wade Belak?  :devil:

     

    Was that D guy the replacement for Carlo?

    585962[/snapback]

     

    <_<

    No his contrubition is to stay off the ice!

     

    The call up for Carlo was Andy Wosniewski. Carlo also has been up and down and this is the most he has ever played.

    By the way, heads up! Anyone who didn't like Kaspar's hit on Connoly (which I thought was clean by the way) will not like Carlo. He can throw big hits and was in fact hurt while throwing a big hip check on your old buddy Varada.

  11. How are Sabres fans 2nd class?  Explain...maybe because the Sabres do not buy overaged players and have a city what, 5X the size of Buffalo so of course the fan base is larger?  You better be able to sell out that arena EVERY GAME if you ask me based on the size of that city...

     

    Do you feel a sense of entitlement because your team is an Original 6 team or something?  Please...

     

    585933[/snapback]

     

    Back in the day when we could just go buy someone I think yes, it made Leaf fans feel more entitled.

    Ah, the good old days.
