I worked with Bob McKenzie for several years and can tell you, with 100 percent certainty, he is not a Maple Leafs fan.

What in the heck is going on in this thread?
Great question.
If I'm understanding this, one poster has accused another poster of lying for using the word "color" which, I think, he has suggested was done intentionally in order to .... suggest he was American because that would strengthen his argument somehow?
Is that what happened here? Because none of this makes any sense at all.
For the record, there is no wrong or right way to spell "color." One spelling is rooted in the United States, while another spelling is found in other English speaking countries, but neither one is wrong or right so this guy really needs to get over himself.

Many Canadians use Color,Theater,So what's your point. You some kind of grammar teacher.
Now back to the thread.
All the talk from Leaf fans claiming that it would not cost the Leafs much to dump Marleau.
Guest they were wrong on this one.I seen written many times that there was no chance that they would have to give up a 1st. We were all out in left field. Guess again.
To think I took abuse from the golden horseshoe for saying that was a bad deal when it was signed. There wasn't a shift Marleau took in a Leafs jersey that wasn't better spent on Kapanen, Brown or any young player. I approve of getting some vets to teach young guys the ropes, but not if it costs you your first round pick. I've heard the defense that they needed the third year in order to attract him... indefensible as far as I'm concerned. Your pick is for loading up at the deadline, not for undoing an unforced error.

no, it's the thread where one user accuses another user for lying about their nationality because they spelled a word a different way than them.
Also happening in this thread: non-Leaf fans claiming Leafs fans said it would cost the Leafs minimal to dump Marleau (not true). Most non-Leaf fans were loving life thinking the Leafs would be stuck with Marleaus contract and no chance they would be able to move it or Zaitsevs. They were wrong.Many Canadians use Color,Theater,So what's your point. You some kind of grammar teacher.

Leafs are happy to be out of this contract and being able to keep their great core together is a win. Sucks losing a first but could be much worse.

Nah. I wouldnt say lots. It might be more common in areas where english is not the first language. Ive never seen it where i live.
This is BS.
Im a leaf fan and the overwhelming majority said they dont mind spending the space on marleau but didnt like the third year. Butvat least the third year was structured to help get out of it.
It was pretty clear from day 1 that the leafs didnt really expect to keep him 3 years. They did their best to give themselves an out. It cost them a first, but they got out of it.
There was no one, not one, saying they loved it, and all 3 years of it.

Nylander should've been converted to a young RHD with cost control through the end of PM's contract or longer. But it didn't happen. Not for want of trying. I just don't think Carolina wants to give up Pesce. That deal is golden and they know it.

Nice guy, tries hard, loves the game.
He's said multiple times that he doesn't have a "team" and he is more so a fan of players he enjoys watching. I don't know why people can't take his word for it.
Dear Hockey Gods,
I just want to see the world burn.
you realize if the leafs win the lottery they keep the pick right?
I think the point of the post is the pick is top 10 protected, but if they pick 11 they have to give the pick.
11th overall picks cause the world to burn?
come on. We lived through seguin and Hamilton. This is nothing.

I think that's the joke. Not only does the top 3 eff all of the bottom dwellers, it puts Toronto JUST outside of the top 10.
Actually we are 8 the last right now .Dear Hockey Gods,
I just want to see the world burn.
Didn't realize you used the simulator

Except in this case, you give away the 11th overall for NOTHING.
