What browser are you using? Saves the setting in Chrome for me, I remember some talk about it not saving in IE.

Funny what happens when someone has a bit of fear in them of losing their jobs.

I only had to change it on the first day I logged in.

Well if its a lot of money then OK

This makes something like 5 in row of really good articles from Cox.

And Cox is spot on: what the Marlies has in spades the Leafs lack. Lol they only have “LACK”

RE: “If, however, you take your coffee with a spoonful of cynicism, then it does not prove anything except that the Leafs finally found a level they can succeed at.” — Only in Toronto could this happen. When the organization is a shambles in every aspect, “experts” correctly point to teams like Detroit that foster excellence at all levels of their organization and tend to take their time developing players, turning them over, and creating an environment where younger players and veterans alike want to stay. The very moment the Leafs seem on the cusp of achieving this very thing, is the same moment that the “experts” offer the opinion that it probably doesn’t matter much. Toronto fans/media are so used to the Leafs losing, that it considers the Leafs losers before it they’ve even played a new season. I’d argue it is the media that is jaded and cynical, in that they can’t even recognise a team headed in the right direction when they see one. They pay lip service, and hedge their bets with pessimism. How can it be a bad thing for the organisation to have an excellent minor league team with players fighting to make it to the “big club”, which also has enough depth to make it difficult? This is somehow possibly bad? Typical Toronto media. Yeah, you wait and see, mate. I’m already encouraged that things are moving forward with this organization. It’s been a long wait. Playoffs or no playoffs, this is a team that finally understands developement and planning for the future.

This guy hit the nail right on the head IMO. While I agree its the players who have to perform it bloody well irks me the type of coverage they get in the media. I truly hope the Marlies do win the Calder but you know what . The media will be the first to find something wrong with that as well.

Why is Gardiner using the ‘wrong stick’ instead of Rosehill? Seniority, really? Does Rosehill even have a use for it?
