Trying and failing to reconcile this with the 6-0 Oilers loss. How do they do it??

Fire the GM.  Ken Holland built a terrible team and the coach (and the two star players) are being scapegoated for a guy wasting money on Barrie/Ceci/Keith instead of fixing their glaring need in net.

I've really never understood the pass the Edmonton organization seems to get from the media. Legitimately trying to imagine what the perception of the Leafs would be if they had the same record of draft picks and failure.

You forgot Hyman. Nice player but not 5.5 x 7. They have no secondary scoring and their D after Nurse, Bouchard is terrible.

He was young too! Feel bad for Justin Bourne & his wife as well.

So where are people coming down on this Jacob Panetta thing?  Who here thinks that his apology is sincere, and that he just did something dumb by doing something that can be misconstrued?

I hope it was a misunderstanding. As for being sincere, I don't know Panetta so unless you do, we have no idea. His greetings and family would know better.....

I've been here for a while, even though my post count may not show it.  I've been coming here since before the first lockout in 2005.  I remember the hay days of Eklund and Code and people discussing the crazy rumours.  Not sure I know the TBLeafer reference however as my memory on some things is a little fuzzy.

Sincere is probably not the word I should have chosen there.  I guess I just meant if you believed his story that he didn't mean for it to be racially motivated, because he has done it a bunch of other times to other players.

That's a good link and I will give it a read.
