That's enough now, stop pointing to good GMs and their competitive teams , we should be content our GM isn't the worst! We are afterall a recent expansion team in a non-traditional hockey market...

Theyre not available

All this stuff on Peters is crazy. Got to wonder if it will start the floodgates for a few more coaches. I've heard some crazy stories from Terry Ryan before about his experiences (some stuff about Therrien) and he said the game hadn't changed much.. Sometimes it was hard to believe but now I wonder lol

 

[Gally11]

This is a pretty funny take on Don Cherry firing lol

 

[Hins77]

Well they added Burakovsky, Kadri and Makar in one off season. Thats a 1C , a 1st line winger and a first D, on the habs.

Yep. Andre Burakovsky. I liked this guy in Washington but obviously. He didnt played too much cause they were strong enough without him on PP. this type of big guy could certainly help here in Montreal but bergevin didnt see it

That is so true. Cherry is the most non-Canadian ever. Along with Pierre-Elliot Trudeau. That may be why Canadians gravitate to them. Like the shy guy leeching on the tough guy.

Addiction happens in many different ways and theres a lot of factors that can play into it. Accessibility is probably the biggest factor, dopamine reaction another, withdrawals would be another big one. Nicotine, Alcohol and Cocaine probably score around the same level and heroin scores higher for sure. Opiates would rank lower than all of those. If I remember my class I took on addictions last winter, Alcohol is the one with the worst dopamine effect and its also really fun to be drunk and to top it all off, probably the easiest to get by and the less looked down on. Its a no-brainer.

Edit: That wasn't clear but you could think of it as a simple mathematical formula of Pleasure+dopamine reaction+withdrawal+accessibility Alcohol would probably have the worst addiction score of all with heroin trailing it because its more expensive, harder to get by, has harsher withdrawal symptoms but provides more pleasure

Actually, the biggest factor is predisposition, which is brought about with childhood traumas and neglect.

If anyone truly wants to understand addiction, I'd suggest reading Gabor Maté. Probably the best source on the subject.

That was funny! "Like a family dog that bites a kid"!

Are the Real Leafs back? or is Detroit the worst team in the NHL?

(or a little bit of both)

Bit if both I think. Plus Bernier is sick as a dog. Only have an emergency goalie as backup tonight cause Howard is injured.

 

[webersshot]

Torontos just a good team man. They all grew to hate Babcock I think. They're back on track and will compete for a cup

The question was which drug is the most addictive, genetic predisposition changes from drug to drug, you'd have to expect thats theres about a similar chance for every drug in the not-so random genetic lottery.

Boston zero goals so far
I guess when you get half decent goaltending anything can happen

Leafs have like 90% of the possession. The Wings G is irrelevant.

I didnt talk about genetic predisposition. What im talking about is epigenetic effects regulating and setting basal levels of hormones and neurotransmitters that have to do with motivation/reward, set with cues from the physical and psycho-social environment in the formative years, especially prenatal and the first 3 post partum years.

And the bolded part is mostly untrue as most drugs act on the same dopaminergic pathways (mesolimbic and mesocortical), that's why they are called "dope", which is the seat of addiction (nucleus accumbens).

Anders Neilsens numbers are amazing.
Unreal.

No their not......LMFAO

But but I was told it was literally impossible for a goalie to do well with a garbage team in front of him?

 

[The Great Weal]

Toronto is definitely a good team. They have holes but they are a damn good team.

I was told the same thing. Interesting
