General Leafs Talk

[armche123]

Question:

Does anyone have a list of where every player in the organization (Draftees, AHL, Prospects etc..) plays?

Please copy and paste, or send me a message.

I love the way Joffrey talks about the fans during his interview snippet. Looks like he really appreciates the support.

Captain Dion Phaneuf was asked about the reception the Leafs received upon arrival Monday morning in Trenton. "We?ve got the best fans in hockey," Phaneuf said. "We?re grateful for that. Like I?ve said before, we?ve got unbelievable fans not just in Toronto, but throughout Ontario and, really, the whole country.

;D

That link didn't send me to Lupul's interview but found it.

Yeah I didn't know how to hyperlink to the actual video.

Just some random thought about this season's schedule:

1. A week off after 2 games and then 4 games in 6 nights
2. 14 games in November
3. 13 games in December
4. 12 games in January AND another 1 week between games ( i'm sure this is for the all star game)
5. 14 games in February - almost a game every other night.
6. 15 games in March - again almost a game every other night.

I've never done this for any previous season but this seems quirky to me.

Hopefully they can keep their momentum going. Unfortunately it seems like Connolly won't be back until November, but we might have enough depth to squeak through. I think having Steckel and Lombardi will go a long way in helping us stay competitive, and luckily we've got quite a lot of depth on the back end.

Here's hoping that a big part of the skid last year was goaltending and the loss of Phaneuf. If Phaneuf can stay healthy (aka not get his leg chopped up) and Reimer plays half decent then I think we can come out of October in good shape.

It's L-R

Back row: Dion, Gus, ?, Gardiner, Kessel, Connolly
Front row: ?, Lombardi, Brown, Bozak, Liles, Franson, Army.

Apart from the two "?"s, I'm fairly sure of the others.

Gus is right. Forgot he existed.

Who's between Kessel and Connolly though.

On a side note, Kessel looks the least like an athlete out of the whole group (not that it matters on the ice).

There's no way that is Kessel. It must be one of the troops.

If it's not Kessel, then that person is wearing the same hat Kessel was wearing in an interview from Trenton I saw on the Leafs site.

I think the Leafs need to partner with the 'Where's Waldo?' people with a 'Where's Kessel?' and photoshop that photo into all sorts of other pictures for children to find.

Like this one?

Or does he need the striped shirt, and hat?

 

[Bullfrog]

Somewhat off topic, but I don't think I'd even feel comfortable holding a machine gun, unloaded or not.

I'd feel strange , too.  Kind of unreal.  No fan of it, of course.

I don't really see an issue to be honest.

 

[Bullfrog]

I didn't mean to suggest there was any issue with it, it's just not something I'd feel comfortable with. I've never held a gun of any sort and don't ever plan to.

Machine guns are made with people in mind, same with handguns, I can see why anyone might be uncomfortable with that.

Reminds me of an old joke about the 'right to bear arms' in the states, sure, muskets for everyone!

Right, and guns are weapons for the purpose to injure or kill. However, I would be ok holding one or shooting one at a gallery because my intentions and actions wouldn't be to injure or kill anyone or anything. Ownership is a whole different matter.

Sure I can understand that but the actual creation of those kinds of guns is for killing people, that weirds me out regardless of my intention.

I spent a lot of years in rural Ontario where long guns are looked at like tools by most of the old timers and used to deal with varmints and such, rarely used for hunting animals never mind killing people.

There are sport hunters and lots of people I know hunt to provide for themselves and that's fine too but they're not doing it with machine guns or hand guns ( I hope... ). I guess it's just a perspective but even my uncle's M1 seems wrong to me, not very machine-gunny but a man killer from ww2.

Sure a single shot .22 or shotgun could kill a man but it seems much less like the point of it.
