First Lady also is entertaining, follows the lives of Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford and Michelle Obama and weaves back and forth across time as they advance through stages in their lives.  Some very good actress's including Michelle Pfeiffer, Violet Davis and Gillian Anderson.
I gotta say the guy who plays Obama is a spot on voice double.

I am going to take the total blame for the series loss. At the beginning of the first game I noticed Paul and I said to my son, "that Paul is a Leaf killer".   I remembered him scoring a few against the Leafs when he was with Ottawa.  Wish we had traded for him now.

Its really hard to be optimistic right now as I look ahead to next season.
Next year Reilly's salary gets a bump, Campbell will be looking for a big raise, will be tough to try and resign Mikheyev. Not a lot in the prospect pipeline in the way of maiking this team more playpff competent.  Our D is aging and Dubas keeps favouring undersized skill guys in draft.⁹

So who is Knies, an undersized skill guy?

Ya their not winning the one run games this past week and their batting sucks, we need the boys to heat up.

For some reason I am nervous as hell about winning this series. Time for a shooter or five.

Well the Marlies bummed out, losing the two last of the season.  God help us if for any reason we have to call up Hutch.  Robertson scored in the loss yesterday.

Question, my son is coming to the Beach's area of Toronto in late May, he is looking for the very best wing place from Young St to the Beach.  Any recommendations.

We used to live in Collingwood where the Beaver and the Bulldog had exceptional wings.

*sigh*

lol. The only team these matchups suck more for is the team we're playing.

Meanwhile Boston gets to play a Carolina team that has injuries to both its starting goalie and backup.

They should have kept Mrazek!

The toe fungus ads on here are grossing me out.

Me too, almost as bad as the fat guy with the bad liver.

By all indications he is a very good Goalie and the Leafs were not shy to sign him under the circumstances.

Looks like a hype extended knee, but not sure.
