Thread: see you next tuesday
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>Me too lol. I'm a fan of hockey but the Leafs are my first team and the Sharks are my second team ( always has been always will be). The players I grew up rooting for are also retired lol, but it's still nice to see what the kids can do...after all the players we grew up rooting for were once kids as well. You hold the leafs allegiance lol...but I understand what you're saying and we're happy to have you despite what some people on here say (bunch of sour grapes if you ask me lol) BTW how old are you? Are we in the same boat or no?</div></div>

The funny thing is I do not hold allegiance to the leafs, I started really following the leafs until they brought in the Shanahanaplan and his army. That is when Toronto started doing **** that made sense otherwise it was a **** show. So, I have confidence in the Office and if they ever leave, I might lose faith in the leafs too. This team is responsible for everything that is the leafs today.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>Same here, I still fall in love with players but I understand it's a business and that players come and go. I root for the logo on the front not the name on the back. I try to be as unbiased as possible and not think/make decisions based on emotion posed to logic, reasoning and understanding.</div></div>

There are times if I like a player I will root for him and his team, but other times I will root for the team because they are defying expectations. I think at this point, I just enjoy a good game and good players. I do believe at this point in my life, I hold no allegiance. Everyone I loved and followed is retired lol Just kids around (kids who are a bit younger than me, or my age lol)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sign_em_up000000</b></div><div>That's because hockey fans are fickle, that's what I love about baseball...always go for the larger sample size and DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH PLAYERS! (although most of my fellow blue jay's fans are fickle as well) but everyone who hated him now suddenly loves him because of the Marner situation...and they will fall back in love with him too.</div></div>

took me a long time to learn not to fall in love with players because for most of my life in nhl games I would always go for my favs, but after playing a lot of Gm mode and here, it is easy to distance yourself, especially since you have a cap to deal with. So it essentially boils down to quality. So I can distance myself, but I do love some players like Seabrook (just not his contract), Doughty and Keith etc. So, I would try to get them on my team but I know essentially cap talks louder.

Thread: Risto Risto

Why don’t the Leafs trade for Dumoulin? He’s better than both Ristolainen and DeAngelo. Plus he would only cost Marner+.</div></div>

<a href="http://www.sportsforecaster.com/nhl/player/7432" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">http://www.sportsforecaster.com/nhl/player/7432</a> According to this, he is a hit and miss, but as long as he is protected, he should improve. I think he is struggling and panicking on his end from time to time because of how bad buffalo was and he was trying to do too much to try to stop the bleeding.

I think Dumolin is a better choice than Rasmus just because Toronto needs a strong defencive defence and not more offensive defencemen, but if you can get one that can play a great 2 way game, that much better, but they would cost more.
