do or die

They ran out of Kleenex, over there the other night....

Well, frankly I have never heard much of anything.... about coaching approach, roster usage, player usage, riffs in the room, or old vs young. When you win. I have already made comments about some of these issues....but when you lose, everything gets magnified. All you have to do is check out some others teams boards - everything is bad, everybody sucks, and everyone hates each other. A certain amount of change IS coming, simply because of the cap situation. Some younger guys WILL be required to step up and take on larger roles, next year.

Give me 8.5M. I would swear a blue streak

Too much jumping the dots and feather dusting by a lot of our forwards. We also have no apparent system for clearing the D zone, against a heavy forecheck

For all the talk about our skill.....the reality is that with this team D, we saw all year......wern't going anywhere, anyways....

Maurice just now: "Players played as hard as they could tonight" Do or Die just now: "I'm not THAT drunk"

As far as the Jets.... I got nothing, and they had nothing

Do not blow it up.....but some tweaking really required

Well deserved loss.....as I quaff my well deserved gin

Helly probably had enough

55 minutes is a long time, to lull the other team into a false sense of security

PP looks like everything else, tonight. Useless.

I had a lot of gin.....

Way to bounce back from Game 5. That is if you consider falling off a cliff, a bounce

Our compete level on the puck is horrifying.....seriously.

Don't care if a car fender was coaching this team. Players need to show some jam. Outshot 15-1, that period

Jets in desperation mode, facing elimination? Give me gin...

Helly has shown up. That about covers it....

Comedic D.

The lame D play continues...

I am downing my gin....one glass at a time.

Turns out that Mueller referred 14 cases of potential criminal activity to outside offices because the cases were “outside the scope of the special counsel’s jurisdiction,” according to the report. Somehow, Barr completely missed that little tidbit, in both his instant summary, and press conference. No mention of the statement that "the behavior of witnesses tied to the Trump campaign “materially impaired” parts of the investigation." In fact, there are plenty of incidents in there, showing how for over more than two years, Trump tried to pressure law enforcement officials, back-channel to witnesses and deter inquiries into his relationship with Russia. Barr claimed that Mueller’s team could not decide whether Trump had obstructed justice, leaving the decision up to the attorney general. Yet the report states that the special counsel’s office held back from offering a conclusion because they would not be able to charge Trump on obstruction (as I already pointed out) due to the Justice Department opinion that sitting presidents could not be indicted. Also the report noted that if Mueller found clear evidence that Trump didn’t obstruct justice, he would’ve cleared him of it. Barr has significantly and deliberately...... misled Congress and the public, in his assessment of whether Trump obstructed justice. But then again, he was just doing the job, he was placed in there to do. Working for Trump, instead of the DOJ, and the rest of the American people.

Trouba and Buff were horror twins on D, last night. And for the love of god, what is 55's line doing out there, yet again, in the "dying" moments

Like everything, Trump knows more about fighting cathedral fires, than anyone else.

Something like this topic needs to be sensitively handled in a measured and mature fashion. But what is needed and what one gets..... So I will just start with hockey teams......in this episode Toronto Maple Leafs: Long, long time ago....,I may of been the biggest Leaf fan on the planet. Watched that game, when Armstrong's empty netter clinched the cup for Toronto. Life was good. Then that felonious, loud mouth Harold Ballard came into my life. Stripped the C from Sittler, got rid of MacDonald....and turned the Leafs into a pure joke. I simply could not support that clown show....or continue to suffer with it. Even today..... I hate the Toronto Maple Leafs. Funny thing is that most of their players, would get a pass from me. It's simply the Toronto media, and the fan base. Have listened to one, and had many interactions with the other. Out here in the hinterlands (West of the Golden Triangle), for decades, we have gotten Leafs news shoved down our throats 24/7 - what their 4th liner wears on Thursdays, what another guy eats for breakfast, what still another guy has coming out the other end. As if we could really give a crap. The fan base? Passionate....which is a good thing - but just too many folks indoctrinated with the idea that "world class" Toronto, and their team, that hasn't won anything in 50 years....is somehow a cut above everything and everybody and the ultimate flagship franchise. Reinforced by TSN and Sportsnet, at all times. The football snobbery by the same fans and especially the media in TO, worshiping the NFL and crapping on the CFL....is also to their discredit. Montreal Canadians: Hated them for decades, but always with a twinge of guilt. Not because of the French thing, but simply because they were real, real good - those suckers always won.....like always. Always rooted against them, but it was always like tilting at windmills. Hell, I watched one team that had Lemaire and Cournoyer playing on the 4th line! Even after expansion, GM Pollack fleeced teams for years.....fobbing off spare or aged parts, for prospects and draft picks. I just thought it would never end. More incoming.....
