Don't schedule any off the grid fishing trips for late May/ early June Julian, lol, I know I'm not, just in case.
IMO there's about 6 teams that have a decent shot, including the Leafs. So, with everyone staying healthy, a bit of luck and some bounces, it's possible.

Ross Perot was right! That nafta agreement decimated manufacturing in this area, there was an older Fisher body plant on the east side of Cleveland, it was turned into a used machinery store to sell all the equipment from factories closing up because of it.
I seriously doubt if there is anything the union can do except to try and get enough public and political support to change some of these " free trade " agreements, they all seem to have hidden costs?
A totally dumb way to do it, needlessly complicated too. It should be 1 vs 8.
If the season ended now, the Leafs would play Tampa. What kind of reward is that for TOR and TAM having excellent seasons? It makes a long season even less meaningful.
I think this system was set up to create division rivalries. That's fine, but it still should be 1 vs 8 when the playoffs start.
The dividing line between 'foreign' and 'domestic' isn't so clear any more. Honda has had a plant in Alliston for decades now. I understand that many of their parts come from NA.
30+ Atlantic On the Cascapedia ...with a Bogdan (preferably mine)
Giant char on the Tree (with Moose as my guide)
6lb Brookie (Secret lake) through the ice (Maybe with Irish and his sledding gang)
8lb Quebec Red ... not fussy where or how or who with
Ahhh... scratch all that ... just thankful for the time I do get to watch the sun come up and the mist rise off the water !
All the Cuda gear looks like pretty good quality! I have some some scissors from them and they work great! Gonna pick up their Jaw Spreaders for pike this spring!
i am not a fan of this playoff format at all. Were gonna have a 2vs3 first round elimination while potentially 6 and 7 play eachother...it makes no sense at all
the extra poopy part about it is that toronto is most likely one of the two teams getting the shaft.
In other news...matty didnt skip a beat eh...marner 6 pts in 2 games...Johnny T pots two...firing on all cylinders, and nylander joins in next week...oooo wwwweeee
Gotta love that all of the buzz is about Marner and Matthews, while Tavares is quietly on pace for a measly 53 goals lmao
My mom and youngest brother bought a couple of new cars years ago, like a 1977 mercury cougar and a 1978 ford thunderbird, the back bumpers fell of of both of them a year apart. Mom's fell off as she pulled into our driveway a few months after the warranty expired, and it wasn't like a big bump she hit.
Funny that our auto executives seem to think they are worth millions of dollars a year more than the Japanese auto executives?
I know its early but this Atlantic division is so tight this year. Someones going to get a lot of points this year and not get home advantage in the first round. If Tampa say gets 110pts Toronto gets 108pts and Buffalo gets 107 points that would mean Buffalo would get screwed over even if they have more points then anyone in the Metropolitan division. Hopefully thats not too confusing guys. Just pisses me off.
I also hear ya. But outraged isn't the right word, disappointed is more fitting, since it was the tax payers that saved the company when they were on the brink and lately the company has been netting $billions.
This wasn't a surprise either. Oshawa has been slowly whittled down over the years. Running 1 shift in the whole plant isn't sustainable. The writing was on the wall, it was just a matter of when if they didn't add a new product.
I like my blue collar job. It suits me just fine in many aspects. I don't have to make sales, or deal with any office politics, or try to climb the corporate ladder. When I leave at the end of the day I forget about the place and they forget about me. It's a shame these jobs aren't going to be around. A company can be profitable and it's workers can be paid a decent wage for an honest days work.
Right on OhioFisherman ..
I worked at GM in the office back in the hayday ... got let go years ago in a restructuring of depts .
