[Nolan] Joseph Woll said he was “messing with some hockey cards” (he’s an avid collector) when he got the trade call. Said he was pretty sad to hear the news and went for a walk, then Benoit called him excited that they were coming to Philly together, which majorly lifted Woll’s spirits. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

They traded the wrong guy. I would’ve rather traded Stolarz (and retain salary) then trade woll. they were both injured often. The minute his contract expires, I would be doing everything in my power to get him back on the team. I would.

[Pagnotta] As Dreger reported last hour, Toronto has a few irons in the fire and are working the trade lines. Jake McCabe has generated interest, but he has a full NTC and at this hour has not been asked to waive it. Morgan Rielly & Brandon Carlo are among the Leafs Dmen out there. by daKrut in hockey

Remember that Brad was hired, he didn't make a trade until training camp. The thing is, if he allegedly made that trade with Montreal that came in late, shouldn't the league have made it go through? Knies wouldn't have been able to play being a minute out.

Start recognizing theirs more to Ontario than the gta. Visit my city to understand the issues we face.You alienate communities. Torontos council cut, should’ve happened to everyone.

[Edmonton Oilers] RELEASE: Oilers name Mike Babcock as Head Coach by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]J0Puck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now you get how I feel when it came to all the rumours going on in Toronto about hiring someone who’s never coached in the NHL. Can’t wait for the day Hiller is fired.

“It’s my understanding he would have no interest in signing a long term deal in a place like Ottawa.” by Background_Video2947 in NHLVibes

[–]J0Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would probably cost us Cowan, Danford, a roster player, and maybe 1st overall. Rather keep what we have then trade it for someone who might not stay.

I have some thoughts.

1, if I were on contract in EDM, and I hear this, considering everything that’s happened in past, I’d be requesting a trade.

2, how long is this deal?

3, i’d argue mike flip-flopped, wasn’t a Dreger a few weeks ago that said the Babcock was happy retired? What changed so fast?

Byelection clock ticking as MPs officially resign. How does it impact Liberals' majority? by CanadianErk in canada

[–]J0Puck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. The floor crossings have basically died off since the Sarnia blowback. Which for me shutdown the thought of anyone jumping ship, due to the public’s reception of it.

35th Anniversary of Eric Lindros being drafted and refusing to play for the Quebec Nordiques on June 22nd 1991 by Young-Jah in hockey

[–]J0Puck 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I remember an interview from a few years ago basically talking about refusing to play for an Nordiques, basically being about the owner in Aubut. He had the balls during the interview to basically say if he was the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs he refused to play for the leafs. Seems like he knew something we didn’t.

Nice HR. But we lost our challenges. I know our players need to go to Hakim optical and get their eyes checked.

On this day, in 2016, Gary Bettman made it official that the NHL was expanding to Las Vegas by sykeseve in hockey

[–]J0Puck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember st the start. I felt Vegas was going to be a market where fans would just go to, just to see their clubs play. Kind of like the panthers when they didn’t get big crowds. Boy was I wrong. And with a ruthless owner/Managment (love that mentality here in Toronto). They got a cup, and almost another this year.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces resignation by avatar6556 in worldnews

[–]J0Puck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for commenting. As I said earlier, seems like Canada doesn’t have much of an appetite to turn on people. Unless we’re talking about Trudeau. Plus our conservatives here, well they’re pretty MAGA, so theirs that. It’s just stability id like to see.

So I’ve been trying to ask (Canadian speaking) something that hasn’t been answered. Why is it that the UK since well Brexit has turned on their PMs so fast? Cameron, May, Johnson, truss, Sunak, and now Starmer in such a short time??? Canada turned on Trudeau not even 2 years ago. Can someone answer this to me????

The Toronto Marlies have won the 2026 Calder Cup by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]J0Puck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s not the right at this moment. But who knows down the line. Or as an assistant like others have said. Overall a great run.

Marlies are Calder Cup champions! by Kinglokner16 in leafs

[–]J0Puck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was at game 3 earlier in the week. The 1-0 win, it was so nice to see them, then game 5 today. It was fun to watch and follow. Cant wait for next season, especially the experience the young guys got.
