do or die

Toronto needs to wrap this up, tonight. No way they want a 7, when anything goes. To say nothing of the physiological damage this could do to Leaf Nation.

Nice to have guys, who would give their left one, for a win...

If Oilers lose out - disappointment If Leafs lose out - choke

Almost 2 months of floating around as mostly a perimeter player, close to zero effort when puck not on stick, late line changes after long shifts......and in general, resembles a guy who has already missed his bus.

Of course Stanley came out. Nobody can mess with Poolbort

....who is probably labouring in a cubicle, somewhere....

Don't want expandable memory on my phone, anymore. Must be the Pfizer....

No surprise after earlier reading the Trump Middle East Peace Plan. Or to put it more accurately.....the Kushner-Netanyahu Peace Plan.

Yup, just another veil for flat out bigotry. Stuff like the "great replacement theory" is simply an extension of the so-called need to protect and hold power for "victimized" white people.

Up 2-0, then decided to put on a fancy ice skating routine, dazzling Ottawa with their perimeter skills.....interrupted only by some fumbling and bumbling with the puck and on 50/50 plays... Are you not entertained?

A bag of pucks? A roll of tape? I wasn't that far off, it seems....

So, what does that mean for the Leafs?

I have faith

Expecting we acquire a bag of pucks and/or roll of tape......

GOP Senate campaign arm awards Trump as he rails against McConnell https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/547661-gop-senate-campaign-arm-gives-trump-new-award-as-he-rails-against-mcconnell The "citation" with this fake award is something else.....

So much for Mitch and smoking the peace pipe with Trump. DJT is simply sucking the life out of the Republican party - ethically, morally. intellectually.......and of course, monetarily

Sorry, I omitted to mention the many other grifters who recognize the deluded MAGA flock....as a potential goldmine One example: Feds accuse man of scamming Trump donors out of $250,000 https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/547402-feds-charge-man-who-scammed-trump-donors-out-of-250000

Between Trump, and the fundamentalist scammers.....surprised that the flock has any wool left.

Washington Post April 7, 2021 at 8:30 p.m. CDT The National Republican Congressional Committee threatened donors that it will tell former president Donald Trump that they are defectors if they opt out of giving recurring monthly funds to the campaign arm for the House GOP. After donating to the NRCC, donors are shown a yellow box with a small pre-checked box that warns: “If you UNCHECK this box, we will have to tell Trump you’re a DEFECTOR.” Left checked and the supporter will be agreeing to contribute every month. The tactic, roundly criticized by campaign finance experts as deceptive, was also employed by the Trump campaign from September until the 2020 election to shore up its dwindling coffers. Many Trump supporters who intended to donate only once were unwittingly enrolled to give weekly because they didn’t read the fine print requiring them to uncheck a box, a New York Times investigation found, resulting in credit card complaints, overdrafts and the Trump campaign refunding tens of millions of dollars to its supporters. As the network head himself described it......."the loyal opposition"

The grass is always greener on the other side. Not. Here - Laine was operating with skill players around him, in a hockey crazy market.....and had (despite, what some Laine supporters may think) a coach widely perceived around the league as a "players" coach. Now - Hardly any skill around, in a D orientated system, and living with Torts.

Key figure in Gaetz saga to cooperate with feds: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/547177-key-figure-in-gaetz-saga-to-cooperate-with-feds-report Nothing was amiss. Which of course explains why this guy needs a plea deal.....

Henceforth, Gaetz shall be referred to as: Individual # 2
