Leafs getting McCann for free is funny, we easily could have beat that offer damn

Opening themes from 1977 to 2015 coutesy of @JianYang. If you look at the 1981 graphics, it shows the clock counting up European style. In 1982, there was a savage butchering of the theme. From that point onward there were variations, some including parts of the original theme.

If anyone watched the commercial for the Esso 67-X contest, all 4 were won. 3 still exist and the buyer of the one that went on display had to do some extensive work on it. For its size, it is the ultimate boat.

He's talking about this one, which was the winner of the vote to replace the original theme after Bell bought the rights. I don't think SN uses it? I'm not sure though because I hate the talking heads segments and only tune in around puck drop.

Correct!!! SN stopped using this one when they bought the HNIC rights a few years ago. The song they use now is corporate bullshit

He must be fast!

Crazy times

 

[CycloneSweep]

Crazy times

Covid restrictions decrease....shootings start to increase. It's really sad.

 

[BlackDogg]

This feels like the longest offseason ever already even though the playoffs went late. With TP being a shoe-in basically once Montreal made it, all this expansion stuff and its only mid July.

Edit: First liner Buddy Robinson wasn't protected??

But then we would have had to expose Archibald. Lol. Bet we didn't even consider adding a good forward yesterday.

Sounds like the Flames have brought in the rat exterminators and are looking at St Louis for shipping destination.

Oooh

Something you heard on the radio?

 

[Oilhawks]

Proud of this young man, took a lot of courage

Seeing Luke Prokop's name again reminded me of this gem by Jim Matheson. Never change you dementia afflicted tweet flinging gunslinger!

What a great read.

The main boards and Twitter need to make up their minds on Price. If Montreal can deal with his contract despite having to pay relatively good NHL players, Seattle can deal with his contract while having the luxury of choosing how their salary structure will work from scratch. Also they just paid 680?? Million for the team? I think they will avoid bankruptcy.

 

[BlackDogg]

So does Gio go to the Kraken Knees?

 

[Weitz]

That Goodrow contract is baaaaaad.

 

[oobga]

While I agree that Goodrow >> Gaudreau. That deal is indeed nuts.

I think it's the Kraken that will need to make up their minds on Price, not the main boards or Twitter.
But if I was them, I'd go for it. Not a bad goalie with which to start off your franchise with.

wait until you see Hyman's new deal.
