EFC, Scoreboard and everything else that matters.

All year they said that to Dorion and Boucher and they just smiled.

The eastern conference finals don't matter at all.

Dopps your ruthless this morning. Pounding them pretty hard.

Imagine if they sign Markov. Probably does not happen. But.

Cannot believe our summer of Leafs and old geezers could get any better.
- spatso

It takes a special kind of stupid to believe this.

Don't jealous. just because your team scored more than they gave up doesn't mean you should knock teams for being better than you. especiallu when they're the only team that made the playoffs that gave up more goals than they scored.

And went to ECF. Nothing happened last year that was not telegraphed by Dorion and especially by Boucher.

As good as they were last year and they were an outstanding third period team, Boucher has been clear that they will be much stronger coming out of the gates this year.

Leafs are an old geezer team.


says the fan of the oldest team in the league.


irony so thick you need to chew before swallowing.

- BINGO!

Apparently not in Toronto. 50 years of oblivion and they have forgot the meaning of winning. They are glad they lost to Washington. Hard to understand.

We finally saw it come to a head in the second overtime of game 7 of the ECF

Is there a banner ceremony for losing in the ECF?

Play nice. You are hard to follow when you become unstable. Try again. Excuse me but I seem to be having difficulty grasping your point.

in French it's called missing the playoffs.

Seems to be common problem for you.

It’s okay though. As long as you’re trying your best, you are doing great!

Don’t let anyone tell you differently!

In can be discouraging when you put all your aspirations into being against something. Psychologically we understand it has something to do with our inability to cope with some form of inner pain. Lots of research done on fans of sports teams and how their hurt emotions are projected onto teams, players and fans of other colours. It is actually pretty sophisticated stuff dealing with primitive responses.

Sorry a little preoccupied. Driving on backroad about an hour ago bringing Mrs Spatso to search for a wedding dress and suddenly a doe and a fawn bolted out and the doe smacked into front fender and doors of my brand new Dodge Ram. Going back and forth with insurance company now on getting an estimate of damages while Mrs. Spatso continues on with her dress shopping.

So, what was it you wanted me to read again?

I do say my prayers every morning. I do say a kind word for all my friends including all of you on this thread. I don't pray for you individually but if you or someone else is needing individual prayer I will be happy to pray for you.

Interesting.

I wonder if there has been any research done into the really unhinged people that resort to the childish behavior of fabricating stories in order to troll people on hockey forums.

Would be really fascinating stuff.

It always feels like Dopps and Spasto think there's a large audience watching these threads. Like they're not trying to talk to us, but to show the masses why we're wrong, as if they have something to gain from it.

It's very weird.


It's kind of like if you're stuck in an elevator with someone, and they keep going on and on about how they didn't fart, you did. Spasto and Dopps are the guy that farted, and won't admit it.

I don't think there is any research of that specific nature.

It is well understood that incidence of family violence can be directly correlated with favourite team success and failure. Again this has to do with the projection of inner pain.

You can make a base level assessment of responses just from language and tone. I have a strong interest specifically in people who combine inner pain with alcohol and other mood altering substances. Trying to get a better understanding of those who are motivated by an ongoing bitterness. This, of course would be your classic sign of resentment. I sometimes wonder about the situations where people post when they are sober and when they are drinking. I have not yet been able to identify a recognizable pattern.
