  1. so when Jessie and Walt took Saul out to the wilderness to fake execute him, he yelled out Lalo's name, right? So this will take a bit of a leap to keep Lalo's memory alive well into BB while putting him out of the picture....
  2. or those small breaks during the day of relaxing your mind and watching the smoke go off into space, taking things easy....
  3. Leafs just don't want to turn on the switch, 2 points ahead of Florida give them comfort same as it always was with this team aside from the years that Sittler and Gilmour were on the ice...
  4. ------------------------------------- you really think the Sabres can finish off 10-5-5? all due respect but.....
  5. looking at the standings, for sure they have a shot but they have to climb over BOTH Florida and the Leafs, making it a LOT HARDER than just chasing one of them both Florida and the Leafs aren't (probably) going to crater.... i'm cheering for the Habs and Sabres to make it interesting, might even watch and cheer them on and the NHL has this crunked-up system where 3 points might be handed out against a team struggling into contention every game, and East plays East as well mostly making it harder
  6. that 3rd spot in the division will be well below the normal points requirement for a playoff spot i hope the Sabres or Habs can put pressure on Florida and the fatcat loafing Leafs down the stretch congrats on having a team that tries it heart out there most nights, sorry it isn't working just yet, it's better than cheering for the Leafs this season
  7. all they have to do is stay ahead of Florida they have a boy-wonder analytics guru, i'm sure he has calibrated how much % of a crap they have to give out there... the Leafs have turned on a severe god-like gear when they want to with those two lines, they put it into action for 3 straight games earlier in the New Year just stay ahead of Florida the rest of the way..... i'm not happy, but i understand sure not paying $150 to sit in the nosebleeds or give 3 hours watching this
  8. and.... i didn't expect them to get by the Bruins last year in the playoffs, I don't think they have EVER beaten the Bruins in the 6??? or so series of my watching since 1970... so it wasn't a disappointment
  9. for those of us in our 40s and 50s we grew up watching the Leafs in that total abortion called the Norris Division for which Ballard cackled getting 4th was the goal and the Leafs got to game 7 of the Quarterfinals of the 85-86 playoffs coming off a (let me confirm it...) 25-48-7 season the only goal right now is staying ahead of Florida, maybe Buffalo and the Habs can pour it on, but they can't pass both the Leafs and Florida now (barring a miracle finish) so we are used to this slackness in Toronto, aside from a handful of seasons.... and it's basically unwatchable, i kinda envy you Sabres fans watching closely, I guess there's Leafs fans agonizing on a message board out there and it will be eternally appreciated that Sittler and Doug Gilmour left nothing to hold back for all their games in a Leafs uniform, sure ain't nothing like them now out there
  10. what teams are you watching to ensure they are playing hard the majority of the season? seriously... you have watched 6 teams and roughly 40 games by them this year? maybe more? sometimes a team can't help it to play hard, but why bother at this point in time?
  11. LOL!!! did jerks take 5 minutes to pretend they knew what they were doing to line it up?
  12. -------------------------- the Habs and Sabres have to go on a tear to get to around 10 more wins than losses and KEEP playing at an incredible level the rest of the way if you fall out of the playoff picture it is almost impossible to get back in it considering that extra point handed to a team that coasts to a regulation tie, and all the imbalance in the schedule with the East playing the East so if you win you tread water, and maybe gain a little and if you lose you plummet the key is to play decent hockey and be around 10 wins over losses at this stage and pick your moments wish it was fairer than that, but that's what the NHL and fans love
  13. there is no incentive to push during the regular season, only one team stands in the Leafs way of a playoff spot, Florida, and the Leafs can't seriously improve in the division standings the regular season is a total joke except for: 1) teams struggling to stay in contention; and 2) a newly great team feeling its oats and trying to win every game, they soon learn how dumb this is... and look at the Raptors, just stay healthy and show up and win it all
  14. When you are in the playoff mix this late, all you need is to go .500 the rest of the way to secure a playoff spot. One of the problems the NHL has to deal with is enticing teams to try when they are still in it at this stage, playing for that single point becomes the sold focus on a road game for a good team. sucks watching the Leafs mail in half their games these days, nothing new, hope they pick it up for the playoffs.
  15. i'm 6'6" and tilt 3 spins sometimes, i have never had a major hassle, i don't demand a halo or space bubble of 1 foot or i feel impinged upon riding the subway daily in Toronto make help get over things that don't matter
  16. only so many bites can be taken out of cookie before it's finished
  17. Nobel winners had some very odd ideas in science outside their specialties, and worse ideas in social-science fields wouldn't take you long to look up some big daddies if you can't immediately get them in your mind right now...
  18. it's at the chicken farm, not sure if the farm still existed at such in BB, i don't recall many incidents at it.... so many current major characters to mow down...
  19. Always enjoyed his work with Burt and Dana Carvey's impressions of both men
