Given our last 30 years or so - save for the Cup run two years ago and 2014 - I'm beyond caring about the plight of the Leafs or Bruins anymore. I just want us to have another sustained run as an actual contender in the next several years.

do you care about the Flyers, tho?

That could sting a little, I have to admit. Especially if Reinbacher "busts" (not a top pairing D) and Michkov becomes a star, both of which, I believe, are at least somewhat possible.

 

[legoalie]

I dunno. The older I get the sillier it seems wishing or expecting ill on others, including team.

Their floundering in no way lessens the sting of our floundering.

This is Sports.. I do not wish bad things to happen to any player, but that doesn't mean I want the Leafs, Bruins etc to win... Misery loves company lol

Your ability never to go out on a limb never ceases to amaze me

Don't know where to put this but long time rds analyst Yvon Pednault passed away.

Yves was solid. Liked him.
RIP

Yes I understand the pettiness involved, we're all human. The two are mutually exclusive though, not wishing ill is not the same as wanting success.

Krusty is the careful to my throw caution to the wind attitude. Leave him alone.

And yes, I'll say it now, he is my attorney so watch it counselor.

Society would be better if folks were more measured a la Krusty

having said that, Krusty was not always so careful but learned the wisdom of restraint after years of watching boldfaced predictions (Markov is finished, Fucale is the future, etc) bite him in the posterior

 

[Habsy]

I don't listen to his hockey takes. He's better at law.

Or Fantilli is going #2 or we are not passing on Michkov.

 

[CH1]

oooooops I stand corrected

 

[Krustchev]

I’m truly honored to have become the topic de jour.

 

[Krustchev]

Or Fantilli is going #2 or we are not passing on Michkov.

Both of which SHOULD have happened, BTW.

Nice backhanded compliment, bro.

Can't blow too much sunshine

Michkov’s “development towards stardom” isn’t exactly off to a stellar start this season for SKA…

Hockey topics are hard to come by in late August

Rumors have started that Sabres may be sold
