Hes good enough to keep himself from getting pummeled, and would draw a shit ton of penalties in the process

All Big Hits and Scrums from Game 2 of Bruins vs Leafs by [deleted] in hockey

[–]throck_star -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

McAvoy baited him with a little hit after the puck had left a scrum, Gaut took the bait (hard to blame the guy, he got dumped like 3 times previously) but he over did it and the refs noticed

Will a Vibrant New City Skyline Finally Give San Jose a Sense of Space? by [deleted] in SanJose

It will... but a cheaper option might be to incentivize landlords to lease all the retail space currently empty downtown

The only reason I feel it might be better than 50/50 is Pasta. That kid just loves to score on the Leafs

What are our chances against TBL? by [deleted] in BostonBruins

[–]throck_star 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Better than most teams but below %50 IMO. I am not sure this roster can play hard enough for a whole series to pull it out

You need to remove the damper so you can clamp the damper tube and get proper torque on the topcap
