Bad luck? LOL The Leafs have played the Capitals (2017), the Bruins (2018, 2019), the Blue Jackets (2020), and the Canadiens (2021) and they've yet to make it out of the first round. Luck has nothing do with it.

You've made many mistakes in this thread and others. But at least you have a child cosplaying as an adult down pat.

NW Ontario any time of year is pretty damned wonderful - and so conveniently close. And the fact that you can target so many species keeps things fresh. GBL is on the list but I think I'd need to win the lottery to make it happen.

The term is "out of touch with reality," you deluded ghoul. With.

One game isn't a reasonable sample size, IMO. The Jets had another crummy middle frame last night and that ultimately cost them. They're still sitting 2nd in the Central and 2rd in the Western Conference, hopefully they can turn this road trip around tomorrow in Ottawa. That said, I wouldn't make such a trade. Not saying the Jets are a playoff built team but we know the Leafs are not.

**** that. Just go to GSL's East Arm, Lac La Marte, or Great Bear Lake if you want to bag giant lakers. MBB fishing trip anyone? LOL

The irony dripping from this comment is as palpable as the glaring and utter lack of self-awareness. Anecdotes and personal experiences being feebly passed off as evidence of anything is laughable, too. The media and many governments fumbled the message(s) many times since the pandemic began, but how does that differ from anything else with regard to news, world events, etc. since the dawn of the 24-hour news cycle, internet, and social media? Being bombarded by information constantly can be exhausting but it's not insurmountably challenging to sift through the garbage and figure out what's factual in order to be informed and use critical thinking. A cloudy or unclear message does not equate to propaganda. Propaganda is generally defined as information of a misleading, inaccurate, and/or biased nature with the express purpose of influencing or persuading an audience of a particular view, often misrepresenting facts or ignoring them altogether. It also uses loaded language to elicit emotional responses rather than rational or objective ones. For example: "vaccination can less the severity of symptoms of a novel virus." vs. "vaccines contain dead babies and will work with 5G towers to exterminate people." It's pretty easy to see which one is propaganda. And as far as vaccines go, the facts have been quite clear for many years now and the COVID-19 vaccines are no different. The only "agenda" being pushed to get vaccinated during a global health crisis is protect oneself and others. Is trying to save lives really an agenda, though? "Vaccine hesitant" individuals should've just talked to their physician or any self-respecting doctor or medical professional, as doing so would've allayed their concern and informed them of the facts. Being hesitant of proven scientific facts doesn't make rational sense. It's like saying one is seatbelt hesitant because car accidents injure or kill people. And let's be honest here: the us vs. them mentality has been around much, much longer than this pandemic. But that's a much broader issue related to wealth disparity and socioeconomic inequality that has hampered humanity for ages. The tolerance paradox applies here. Intolerant or ignorant views should not be tolerated.

Me watching The Dunning-Kruger Effect on full display in multiple threads:

Such a crappy reason. But it is what it is. It's in the past now and the only person who really paid a price was him. Glad he's back and on a long-term deal, anyway. He adds depth and nastiness to an already strong OL corps.

FA Day can't come fast enough.

Montreal (and Toronto) media can be such clowns when it comes to "hometown" players.
