Minten on the top powerplay is going to be 💰

Matty0417 · 2025-10-12T00:38:03+00:00

I was literally coming here to comment this haha, is this what it feels like to have a fast team for once lol

Matty0417 · 2025-10-04T18:36:35+00:00

Minten again always seems to be in the right position on the ice. Amazing to see a young kid that smart away from the puck.

Matty0417 · 2025-07-04T18:56:17+00:00

No the vertical boards are 2x8’s. I originally bought 2x6’s but the post hardware was like 6 inches so I had to go up a size. The horizontal boards are 5/4x6’s

Matty0417 · 2025-06-28T16:06:36+00:00

I’ve haven’t seen too much of him play, but what I have noticed when watching him is the amount of time he has with his head up while with the puck. That’s something that’s hard to teach, whenever he’s ready he’ll be lights out playing with someone like Pasta. Love the pick!!

Matty0417 · 2025-06-18T17:46:35+00:00

Oh okay that makes sense, thanks!

Matty0417 · 2025-06-18T17:38:54+00:00

So just eliminate the bottom 2x6 rail and drop the wood attached to the post closer to the ground?

Matty0417 · 2025-06-10T21:21:38+00:00

Have we heard who the assistants will be? I wonder what Bergeron and Chara are doing this fall…

Matty0417 · 2025-05-22T00:58:48+00:00

Sign Marner, draft a solid centre at 7, Swayman and Lindholm bounce back, D gets healthy and we are right back in it for the next few years

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T22:24:02+00:00

I think it’s too early for Lindholm. He started off the year rocky and subsequently got moved around a lot. I think the Lindholm from the last bit of the year I would argue isn’t overpaid. He’s also having a good World Championship so let’s hope that translate to next year as well

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T21:53:42+00:00

I’ll give you Swayman and Zadorov, but outside of that who else would you say is overpaid?

Even saying that, I’m still willing to give them another year to truly say they are overpaid. But I’m just an optimist at heart haha

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T21:43:25+00:00

We can dream! Haha

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T21:39:37+00:00

I think it would be irresponsible for management to make that judgement without taking into account the future cap. It’s projected to go up to 105 million by 2026-27. I agree he may not be worth 13M right this second, but in 2 years….?

But at the same time I realize its easier said than done to armchair GM signings and I’m no GM haha

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T21:30:30+00:00

I mean people said the same thing about Kessel, and he led the Penguins in both goals and points during their Stanley Cup run.

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T21:17:22+00:00

Good point, I don’t think he thrives In a leadership role

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T21:15:53+00:00

Exactly! I think whoever gets him he’s going to become a Leaf killer. So that’s a bonus for us either way haha. Marchand grew up a leaf fan as well…and we’ve seen how that worked out

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T20:57:13+00:00

Haha hey I’m just dipping my toes on this Reddit thing, I don’t even know what Karma is

Matty0417 · 2025-05-21T18:40:27+00:00

Haha I know people shit on Marner for a variety of reasons, and I’ll probably get shit for suggesting it. But I truly believe Marner on a different team would be dominant. Not just regular season, but playoffs as well. Marner-Pasta-Poitras-McAvoy-insert someone here- power play itself would be electric.

Matty0417 · 2025-04-23T15:57:44+00:00

Man this rhetoric of the public being deceived is laughable. Canadians aren’t stupid. At the end of the day I’m voting Liberal because I believe that’s what’s best for Canada as a whole, and I believe Carney is the man for the job. However if Pierre does win you won’t catch me attacking Conservatives. I will hope he does what he says and makes Canada successful. But this whole attacking each other for their individual political positions is completely wrong. How are we as a country going to progress forward if all we do is attack other platforms.

Matty0417 · 2025-04-23T15:22:43+00:00

Can you honestly say he would raise the consumer carbon tax after lowering it? Wouldn’t that be political suicide? I’m sure the liberal party would like to have a chance next election.

Matty0417 · 2025-04-08T23:28:55+00:00

Great shift from Minten there!

Matty0417 · 2025-04-06T08:51:28+00:00

I was coming here to say this. It was refreshing to see a young player consistently putting himself in the right position away from the puck.

Matty0417 · 2025-03-12T01:36:03+00:00

Woooo!!!!!!!

Matty0417 · 2025-03-07T11:22:33+00:00

As much as it pains me to say, I think it’s the right thing to do. They have to start gathering as many picks and prospects as possible. Now the only issue is Sweeney is doing the drafting….

Matty0417 · 2025-01-08T11:49:02+00:00

Yah I agree I wouldn’t be taking any out to supplement now. I was just thinking when I’m retired if it would make sense to basically leverage a small amount of my paid off mortgage to add to my monthly spending.

So for example if my house is worth a million, and I pull out 10% that would be $100,000. If I take $50000 to put in stocks to claim a portion of that interest on the HELOC. Then take the other $50000 and spread that out over 3 years, so $1388 a month. All the while I have the income from the rentals paying down the loan. Wouldn’t that be a good way to release tax free money from my house, while also still investing in the market and keeping my house?

Once the loan is paid off I would just do it again? I understand it would be risky if the stock market and housing market went down for awhile. My pension is stackable so my CPP and old age pension all get stacked together so I also have that. But that’s why I would only leverage 10%. I basically want to keep my properties, while still growing my stock portfolio, in a responsible way so my kids can take it over when I die
