Definitely; you've always had the best Leafs site Rick.

It's a national holiday in Finland tomorrow. 8) "FINLANDIA!! FINLANDIA!!"

There is for sure either fraud or misconduct here. Evidence is routinely switched between bags, but the Commissioner states that the evidence is still in the original bag. We either have a fake bag or a false statement by the commissioner, whether he knows it or not. This could become the...

Somehwere, the carbon which formed Charles Darwin has become a substantial part of another person. That person just smiled.

Perhaps, but unless Bettman is willing to go full Goodell, the result of the appeal will be under the rules that were in place at the time of the alleged offence.

Fair point, let's go with hoax instead of conspiracy. Also, recent reports have identified three women, not four, as it may have been incorrectly stated earlier.

What stinks to me is that Ghomeshi's preemptive facebook post attributed the negative innuendo to a conspiracy between two women, a jilted ex and an angry journalist. However, the star spoke to four women months ago who each claimed Ghomeshi abused them. To my knowledge, Ghomeshi has not...

It's more than charisma: Chow never 'impressed', never produced the magic combination of print, soundbites and video that is required to seem mayoral. Chow never came off as substantial to me; frankly she seems like a bit of an intellectual lightweight, albeit one with her heart in the right...

I think that would often be the case, but as it happens this election featured a leftist candidate with less charisma than a sponge. I think your intuition is right; don't forget that Chow started in front of Tory in the polls...

Who goons the Goonmen?

Two quick points: 1) Out of all European leagues, only the KHL offers comparable pay. This makes it more attractive than other local leagues. Assuming all European homesickness is equal, Russian players have the best reasons to go home. 2) Assuming a tax-free paycheque is a perk, I would...

CTV London reports Kessel has signed, 8 years for 64 million. https://twitter.com/CTVLondon/statuses/384994079349555200 Seems legit.

Sometimes it seems like while everyone else is discussing, Nik's competing. He's in a league of his own.

He was always a bright spot in a thread. I can only imagine how much he will be missed. RIP Mr T, all the best to your family.

That's the thing, a very low salary in exchange for a strong no-trade clause would have been more effective given the objective of staying in Toronto. I don't believe Ranger's contract last year precluded a trade. Can anyone confirm?

Is there ANY public indication as to why Ranger has refused to play in the NHL over the past few years? It is unusual to have a player willing to play professional hockey, but not top-tier professional hockey. There seems to be some unspoken understanding among the media to not publicly ask...

Matt Duchene is statistically one of the best 22 year-old hockey players in the world, and plays a position where the Leafs currently lack top-line skill. Even if he is not currently a #1 centre (which I would argue he is, since there are fewer than 29 you wouldn't trade for him), isn't there a...

He's so money, and he definitely knows it.

Canadian taxation is generally based on residency, while American taxation is more based on nationality, tax treaties notwithstanding. I'm not an expert, but maybe these bonuses matter most to Canadian players moving from American to Canadian teams. If they are able to live most of the calendar...
