I was a bit on the fence before.
But Chewie liking the hire confirms we're screwed.
Chewie isn't really a Leafs fan. I think he's been trolling us the entire time
:lol
Mmmmm, I'll be drinking hand sanitizer in eager anticipation.
I've seen that movie more times than I care to admit.

Maybe Lou can win me over with smart moves that totally won't destroy the team for years to come.

Kovalchuk returns to the NHL and signs a 15 year deal with the Leafs.

Apologies for the second post. I didn't see these two comments until after my last post, and was hoping someone would post in-between these.
I may not (admittedly) know as much about hockey as most of you goons, but I'm trying. I'm a Leafs fan through and through, and have been since childhood. Probably twenty-plus years now.
I promise you, I do not troll, nor do I even know how. Nor am I an alt.
I just don't watch as many of the other teams' games as most of you seem to. I'm kept busy gaming, writing and looking after disabled family members, plus dealing with my own issues, and only really watch the Leafs games.
I'll watch other tilts for 20 minutes to an hour sometimes, but hockey season is a busy time for reviews.

Yeah, Goon 1 was great. Hopefully Goon 2 follows suit.
Goonies would be a good title for a youth hockey movie.
Why? The first one fuckin sucked.

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news...lendale-proposed-coyotes-arena-deal/30578215/
A reduced management fee
The fee the city pays to IceArizona, the team's owner, to manage the arena would be reduced from $15 million to $6.5 million annually.
A 2-year deal
The agreement would terminate on July 30, 2017. The original deal was for a span of 15 years, or until 2028.
Tindall and Frisoni iced
As part of the deal, Coyotes general counsel Craig Tindall and Julie Frisoni, who had done consulting work for the team, cannot be employed in any way by the Coyotes. Tindall is Glendale's former city attorney and Frisoni is a former deputy city manager. The two were at the heart of the conflict-of-interest argument that the city was using to attempt to end the deal.

Good for the Leafs.
Want good news for hockey in Seattle. It'll happen, only thing is when. Frustrating that isn't first priority.

I thought so too.
I feel a lot better about the Lou hiring knowing it's 3 years.
Wow, that's a huge reduction in term and payment. Good for the City.
The team hiring the city attorney and city manager is all kinds of shady. Good to see this one get rectified too.
What's the word on the arena in Seattle?

Cheque is clearly alternate captain for Leafs-GAF. He earned his A.
Captain would of course be _____________.
Captain would of course be _____________.
Plus Babcock is a coach who loves Cleary.
And Lou is over the hill.
If I were a Leafs fan, I will be more excited about Dubas being a GM and Hunter as assistant. They seem like more forward thinking people and not part of the old school hockey club way of thinking.

Solve it the way Leafs-GAF did - who threatens to drop the gloves the most?
I was just kidding man. you're cool in my books.
even if you're wrong a lot

You shut your mouth.
I was given this captaincy by certified hall of famer Manics. I carry his legacy forward!

I like this Lou hiring. He's old, yet experienced. He has the connections and the respect of other GMs and clout with the NHL front office. Couldn't imagine a better GM to tutor Dubas before he takes over. I'm not sure if he'll be around for the entire rebuild but a few years should definitely get Dubas ready.

The one thing about his connections is the fact that he probably is the only guy who can get guys like Lupul and Bozak to another team.
He'll make them an offer they can't refuse.

Late 90s-early 2000s Devils were great. My Uncle is a huge Devils Fan, even he was surprised to see Lou go.

Would say it's the only reason we're not top of the list. Few groups offering something unique, no headway on an arena without basketball coming first. Word is that something will happen within the year.

I can rewatch that movie over and over. Thing bombed though. I wonder how they managed to fund sequel.

Maybe Sequin and Del Zotto are paying to be in it?
I loved Goon so much. Kind of by default the second best hockey movie ever made.
Let's start the season already!
