Pretty funny how this series was billed as our stars vs Montreal's elite 4 line depth and Built Tonka Tough® platstyle and 4 games in Matthews and Marner have one goal combined and it's our middle six that are kicking their teeth in.

Knocking on wood but the "Montreal has better depth" argument was always BS. Having a bunch of guys that could play on a good teams 2nd or 3rd line but no true first liners was always a recipe for disaster and just sounded like an excuse for the Habs' lack of elite talent. Their D is getting exposed too. "Big and tough" but can't move the puck for shit and the most that toughness has done is result in Matthews chuckling.

I'll never understand why the Leafs depth was just ignored compared to Montreal. I guess the media narrative has to be something so that's what they did. Like how Caufield has been bigged up all series, need something positive to say for Montreal.
 
The way I interpret it, it was just a poor attempt at a self-deprecating joke about the time he was caught with his "tarp" off, in a bar, where he would've tested positive for alcohol and/or drugs.

I'm thinking it was reference to this picture too not a joke about Aids. If that is the case it was a pretty funny joke lol
 
If we beat out MTL and then WPG we truly claim the kings of the north title (both regular season and playoffs). Probably no Canadian team will be able to claim that title for quite a while. That is sooo amazing!

Moving forward, I would love for one of our slogans to be "Winter's coming" - it just has that allusion to a sense of terror that is about to come at you. I want the American teams to sense and fear the ominous power of The Toronto Maple Leafs. The true Kings of the North.

That and I think the "We the north" should stay with the raptors.
 
Hahah hahahahaha.

karma Ron you rat snake piece of shit.

they’ll never stop Ron.

it would be sweet karmic justice if he gets the boot for something taken so out of context and twisted out of context.

I can’t believe anyone would jump to AIDS regarding his comment. So absurd but if anyone deserves to get cancelled over something so dumb it’s Ron

My favorite is the ubiquitous "just hit Matthews and Marner they're so soft." Like lmao what you don't think pro hockey players haven't thought of that approach? You can try, for sure. You're probably not going to succeed, but you can try.
 
The Good: The 2 line have really upped their game in making up for the absence of the captain. Kerfoot was running that line like a 327 L84 sucking back Hi-Octane runs a Nova. Keep it going Will, it's like he's a whole new player. The 3 line completely dominated when given ice time, so much speed, so much physicality. The Olden Golden Boys are playing their best hockey of the year and are chipping in with regularity and spending lot's of time in the Canadiens zone. It'll be scary once the 1 line starts clicking, hopefully they explode on Thursday. Jack had to come up big a few times and he definitely did but his defence was as responsible for the SO as he was., I couldn't find any fault in any of the D, they were all positionally sound and made excellent decisions.

The Bad: Not much, really everyone was doing their part, any bad was wearing stripes. if you want to keep the whistle in your pocket, keep it in for both sides, just sayin!

The Ugly: Although I didn't watch the CBC/SN broadcast I heard it was close to being insufferable. Honest to god frig off with the PC nonsense, I'm here to watch hockey and get away from all that whining and crying BS, we get it, we really do, now just STFU and get on with the game.

He accidentally drive his car back and forth over your cat 17 times cackling like a madman or something?
 
I agree with you. But if it was Allen we were facing and he had the exact same performance with the exact same saves - their would be a lot less overhyping of him. But because it is Price the narrative shifts back to him being possibly the best in the world. "Carey Price doing things only Price can do" "the man, the myth, the mystery". They are shaping a picture that his play has been special - where I think there is a huge divide between his great play and a special performance.

I think he is the only goalie in the world that would get this built off the performance he has had, and that is what pisses me off about the coverage.

scientific as well, ask Kelly Hrudey he'll tell ya and you don't even have to ask!:laugh:
 
I'm a pretty SJW type person myself, but I'm not sure what has to be wrong with you to jump to AIDS and homosexuality over that joke, which was clearly about intoxication. C'mon.

People hear what they want to hear to have a platform to push their own personal agenda.

It happened a couple years ago to Morgan Rielly when people falsely accused him of saying "Homophobic Slur" to a referee.

Didn't watch the intermission but ya making an AIDS/HIV joke like that is so out of character and odd for Ron. Definitely not acceptable

Edit: people seem to be thinking it was positive for drugs?? That would be out of character for him but socially acceptable i think

Weed is legal in Canada and quite a few states, but the NHL will still suspend you for it I think
 
So he made a joke that had nothing to do with any of the things he was accused of but he still needs to “seek out LGBTQQLMNOP wisdom?”

Ok. Lol
Honestly in this day and age that is the obvious play. Cover all your bases regardless if it is what he ment to say.

Agreed.
