Wake up early or stay up late?

Wake up early or stay up late?

Share

There isn’t a lot to talk about this morning, as things on the NHL front have gone pretty silent. Other than that we’re (for the most part) looking forward to the World Junior Championships next week to get a look at some Leafs‘ prospects on the international stage.

There’s also, you know, the chance to cheer on a hockey team, which will be a nice experience as well. Though I’m not sure I even remember how to do it.

The schedule for this year’s tournament is pretty awful for us watching in Canada. Morgan Rielly and the rest of our national club will play their first three games at 4:30am Eastern, so unless you have PVR (or live in the Atlantic Ocean, like I do), you may as well just forgo sleep, pour another nog and rum, and stay up for some hockey.

The commercial TSN has running for this thing is “Wake up early, stay up late.” Which camp do you fall in to?

Oh, and I did manage to collect a few links this morning, so enjoy.

    Dickey, Morrow, Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Romero.  Is there a better top 5 in the AL East?

    Guy on Brady just now who has studied what Dickey does said He he throws a hard knuckelball and he throws them at different speeds as well. Along with that fastball thats a pretty good combination I would imagine

    I’m ready to start cheering for a good pro team and not just being eternally optimistic about a great farm system. Time to win!

    In a little over a month, Jays bring aboard the last two NL batting champs and the last NL Cy Young winner.

    So the #Bluejays will have Dickey at an AAV of $10 million annually for 3 years. For a Cy Young award winner, no less. That’s value.

    Both sides are idiots. The dirty laundry that the PA is going to bring out at the court trial is going to be so damaging to the business that is hockey. Just imagine the stories they are going to tell to establish that the owners deal in bad faith.

    Fuck it. My desire is the season to be written off, and some teams go under… allowing some locked up young guys to get out of their deals.

    Being able to spend at will didn’t help the Leafs in the past.

    I like that.

    Kipper hit it on the head. Anti trust is what the owners really want to deal with.

    The agents and players would benefit from the removal of the cap. The league would benefit from the loss if 10 teams.

     If you believe the spin you’d put them both in the hall.
    In fact Syndergaard has not developed a serviceable curve ball and may end up a reliever . D’arnaud is like Colby Armstrong healthwise.
    I’ll take Dickie
