I just found out what "The Griddy" was after seeing this
Heard that the ‘congratulate the bride and groom’ handshake line was quite respectful.

I hope for Mitch's sake his marriage isn't as disappointing as his team's playoff performances.Heard that the ‘congratulate the bride and groom’ handshake line was quite respectful.

Word is he only went one round with the wife after the wedding.He might be divorced by the first round of the playoffs.
Most the wedding's I go to the groom is in no shape to even do one roundWord is he only went one round with the wife after the wedding.

Ya I don't think the groomsmen can step in either.That's why there is a best man.
Toronto Maple Leafs Had Interest In Milan Lucic, Radko Gudas
Both Milan Lucic and Radko Gudas revealed in separate interviews that Toronto GM Brad Treliving had pursued them in unrestricted free agency.www.prohockeyrumors.com
Looks like Treliving was interested in Lucic.
Would have been hilarious to see him as a leaf…perhaps next season??
In most of Brad’s summer signings the correct answer was D) None of the above.Toronto would've been better off signing Lucic than Reaves.
Younger and cheaper on term and dollars.
although neither guy would've been a better option.
a big sign of poor depth is that your depth is populated with role players. These are players who are useful for only one or two things such as penalty killing, faceoffs, physicality. Or, maybe their job is to develop because they are just young.Toronto would've been better off signing Lucic than Reaves.

well there is Bertuzzi, but I was checking his stats and was not impressed. He is not a physical player. He is poor in possession, particularly in giveaways and takeaways. He ramped up his intensity in a losing cause vs Florida, but that seems to be the main reason Toronto gave him that big cash, besides getting 30 goals the other year, and fair enough so it's a decent add but not going to change their identity. Another one is Domi, who I heard lots of Leaf fans says brings physical intensity.... and wow is that just because of how they remember his dad? Both these players stay out of the way of other players, and don't block shots. Good players but the team is business as usual. Might as well have kept Bunting and Kerfoot. Not much different. Am I getting these players wrong?I'll never understand Toronto. They always complain that they need to be harder to play against but then go out and get guys like Simmonds or Reaves who play 5 minutes a night. They arent sticking up for anyone from the bench.
When will they realize that their core is too soft. Like their top 4 dmen are Reilly, Brodie, Klingberg and McCabe. So for 45+ minutes a night they have one guy who can play physical hockey. Losing Schenn, Sandin and Holl might make them "less skilled" but it sure as hell makes them easier to play against.
Meanwhile we have both Nurse and Ekholm out their patrolling our blueline.
I’m fine with them remaining in the playoff hunt, giving their rookie GM some disillusioned hope that they are just a piece away, they make a boneheaded trade at the deadline that further diminishes their prospect pool, and they miss the playoffs by one point on the last day of the season, and don’t have a draft pick until the 4th round.I have this feeling that Calgary, despite losing some big pieces, will find a way to stay competitive this year, as they always do. Either Markstrom will go into god-mode or one of their rookies will carry them, they just never seem to go away.

They would have made the playoffs last year if they had any other coach besides Sutter. This year they still have the same lineup so I wouldn't be surprised if they finish as high as second in the Pacific.I have this feeling that Calgary, despite losing some big pieces, will find a way to stay competitive this year, as they always do.
