Strangely enough, I've been posting over 3 years longer than you but I have over 600 posts fewer than you. Could it be that you are the one overdoing it? Mind you, it is true that my posts actually say something, whereas yours are always just the same old inaccurate, illiterate bullshit - is that the point you were trying to make? Oh, and one more thing: I am able to tell the difference between men and women but I see that you still can't - or, maybe you CAN but PRETEND you can't as a way of explaining some of your "relationships"?

Okay, you've proven your point. I didn't think there was someone worse than GhG, but you're absolutely correct. LOL!!!!!!

ya think? he is quite the psycho indeed!... gsg looks normal compared to johnny weirs biggest fan! ROFL! (to each their own, heh heh)
He's the one in the poster on your bedroom wall.
Weren't you the one who told me he was also one of the judges in the Miss America pageant that you watched last night? Hey, to each his own. I'm not passing judgement on your heroes.

1. I still don't know who the hell he is...but I'm sure you and your butty do.
2. The Miss America pageant was on last night? Thanks for letting me know. While you and lg are absolutely lgnorant about hockey, I do admit that you are both true experts on fashion, interior decorating, figure skating and cooking - so I guess Miss America fits in there somewhere.
3. Sorry - no posters on my bedroom walls, but of course I'm not up on all the latest trends in interior decorating like you and your "special" friend are.
By the way, you're REALLY creeping me out by fantasizing about my bedroom. No offense but I'm not interested in your kind of "hanging out", so please stick with lggy and take me OUT of your perverse dreams.
Brian Burke keeps his promise (great article)

Appeal court upholds former Leafs captain’s four-year prison term
Judges had initially expressed concern sentence was too long
Former Maple Leafs captain Rob Ramage has begun serving a four-year prison term for the 2003 impaired driving crash that killed fellow hockey star Keith Magnuson, an accident for which “he will probably never forgive himself,” the Ontario Court of Appeal said Monday.
Ramage, 51, surrendered into custody on the weekend, before the court released its decision upholding the convictions and sentence imposed at a 2007 trial.
“Rob, in his usual dignified way, sort of approached it with a sense of resignation,” said his lawyer, Brian Greenspan.
But the ruling came as “a real shock” to Ramage’s wife and children, who attended the appeal at Osgoode Hall in March and believed, based on comments made by members of the three-judge panel, that his sentence would be reduced, Greenspan said.
Magnuson’s family was hoping for the same result, having made what the appeal court described as a “heartfelt plea for mercy.”
And it seemed the case might be heading in that direction. As the appeal got underway, Justice David Doherty walked into court and remarked that everyone on the panel was concerned about the length of the sentence considering Ramage’s otherwise exemplary life.
Justices Stephen Goudge and John Laskin noted Ramage has given up drinking and that more than 105 people wrote letters praising his community work, factors that potentially favoured a lighter sentence.
In Monday’s ruling, the court might have been trying to reconcile these earlier comments with the end result.
Writing on behalf of his judicial colleagues, Doherty said he had given Ramage’s sentence “anxious” consideration.
While he initially thought four years was too severe for an “outstanding” member of the community, whose remorse “is real and deep,” the law also requires the court to defer to the sentence imposed by a trial judge unless it is obviously unfit or results from an error in law, Doherty said.
Greenspan said the ruling takes the concept of deference to a new level.
“The judgment can only mean that the Court of Appeal is saying, ‘Despite our view that the trial judge was wrong, he had a right to be wrong and we have to defer to the trial judge’s right to be wrong,’ ” he said.
Ramage was expected to be transferred from a Toronto jail to Millhaven penitentiary near Kingston, a processing centre for federal inmates. After six weeks or more, he will likely be transferred to a minimum security penitentiary.
Ramage was at the wheel of a rental car that veered across the median on Rutherford Rd. in Woodbridge on Dec. 15, 2003, slamming into two oncoming vehicles and killing Magnusson, a former Chicago Blackhawks captain.
A Crown toxicology expert concluded from blood alcohol readings that Ramage had consumed 15 to 20 drinks before the accident.
“The danger created by the appellant’s conduct is not unlike that created by a drunken man who walks down a busy street firing a handgun at random,” Doherty said.
Ramage’s criminal record could prevent him from returning to the U.S., where he has lived and worked for many years, most recently as a scout for the St. Louis Blues.
Ramage’s son, John, was drafted last month by the Calgary Flames.

Habs signed Maxim Lapierre, Mathieu Carle & James T. Wyman. James who? Good question.
They were all signed to one-year contracts. Lapierre will get about $900 000 a season.

Spoken like a true habs fan indeed.
ROFL! Burke with what JFJ left him has done a remarkable job. actually Amazing! he has restored the farm system with good young prospects, added star power and 3 core pieces in goal, offense and defense which btw are proven NHL Talent (Kessel, Phaneuf,Jiggy) . added key ingredients in the Monster, Bozak,Versteeg, and Armstrong, meanwhile signing a ton of the best USA College and European Prospects that were available, which many teams wanted, and didnt cost him anything but money. And if you think he is done, well, dont think to hard, he is not and it is gonna be fun watching this team which was a totally different team since the Dion and Jiggy trades this past winter, with the added additions he has made after that. .... enjoy your team that is cash strapped with overpaid "stars" for the next 4 years. and you also better hope Mr. Price lives up to the expectations that are on his shoulders... should be a very interesting year in Toronto and Montreal this coming season. .....
PS. Last i checked it was YOUR GM who sent the only reason you made the playoffs last year packing, not Burke, St. Louis thanks PG for that btw

Leaf blowhards very quiet this off season
Remember this space last summer when Leaf blowhards were giddy about their supposed "tough and truculent team". Not only was Toronto supposed to compete for a playoff spot but also cause a surprise or two. A common refrain was "opposing teams better keep their head up coming into our zone". 12 months later, where is all that similar hot air and bluster? It wouldn't have anything to do with finishing in 29th place (one spot removed from the NHL shithouse)?
Burke unloads most of his 29th place team (a team he said would compete for a playoff spot) and is now relegated to poaching players from the German league!

Very well spoken. Which begs the question: "What exactly has Pierre "Zombie" Gauthier done for the Habs since he got the GM job?"
Maybe, but not as remarkable a job as Pete 'Zombie' Gauthier did for St-Louis. St-Louis is now playoff bound since they now have one of the top 5 goalies in the entire NHL. Not only did Pete make St-Louis a playoff team, but he possibly killed his own team's chances of making the playoffs. All in one shot.....now, that's amazing.

Boston is better for getting Horton, only, Thomas and his fat contract will limit them from getting any better, unless he agrees to be traded, plus they got rid of some defense in wideman, so are they really that much better? And before the "Tyler" debate comes to play, he has not done a thing in the NHL yet, so time will tell, but getting Kessel who is a sniper and a PROVEN Nhl'er is still a trade that burke would do again. let it go, its no different than shipping halak out of town for the unproven and fragile, emotionally, and party animal, Carey Price
I have a feeling all of the Eastern Conference GMs love PG for sending Halak out to the Western Conference & also making the Habs weaker than they already were, giving marginal teams a realistic chance to make the playoffs. Getting rid of Halak will have the same impact on the Habs as Lebron James leaving Cleveland. Cleveland went from title contender to playoff hopeful in one shot....same thing with Halak...turning the Habs from a decent team to possibly a marginal one with his departure.
You know what buddy? I think there actually may be a GM out there in the NHL that i like better than Burkie, and that GM's initials are PG. The Habs' hiring of Pierre Gauthier might just be one of the better things to happen to this Leafs fan since the hiring of Brian Burke. I love it!
