Not about the deals. They were losers. The veteran leadership they brought in was guys who lose.

I think what we can say is that, while none of them were bad contracts, none of them were deals, and all the teams that contended at least had a deal that allowed them to fill in the supporting cast with quality.

In hindsight, we should've been really worried when they signed Thorton and Marleau.

Only hard to believe if you expect arial bombardment leads to moderation, which you should not.

Trump wants out, but Iran wants pain to be great enough that it’s a deterrence to another attack. And it’s doubtful that Israel wants to stop this. Hard to see how it ends.

Leafs have really been hampered by not having a #1D. I would go with the marginally better forward if the idea is to move him for an equally talented defenseman, but, given the uncertainty trade partners introduce, I can see a good reason to go with the slightly worse defenseman.

Bibi already threatening to bring out the nukes. I thought we’d at least get till April.

I increasingly feel like Dubas got canned trying to shake the org out of complacency.

Yep. Can’t fight a very long war that starts thirty points underwater. Will be curious to see if it changes the direction of public sentiment. It isn’t the early 2000s anymore.

Like said, there's no question who, objectively, is the greatest threat to humanity in this thing.

Ok, but how dangerous? Reporting is Israel was eager to attack when they did because Iran was about to build a nuke reconstitute their ballistic missile deterrence and threaten Israel's very existence Israel's complete freedom of action in the region. That doesn't seem to me like a country that...

At this point, I'm find it pretty near impossible to view Iran as in any way "dangerous" compared to the two regimes that are now carpet bombing the capital of a country they attacked in the middle of negotiations. TBH I don't think the US or Israel view Iran as dangerous either. They viewed it...

I would've liked to have seen the core with a new coach after Montreal (2021) or Tampa (2022). It would've been helpful to see them under a coach with more experience dealing with stars, would've made it harder to fail to see the need to move one of them before the NMC's kicked in.
