Do you think Boston will get the first overall pick in this years draft?

Wings & Ducks are in the hunt as well. Sheesh, Ducks blew a 3 goal lead last night.

That's what i said at the time of the trade that if i were a Leafs fan i'd be scared of that. Will it happen? No. Still.........the possibility that the Leafs could finish in the bottom five exists and the lottery would intensify things too.
Giguere blew it by allowing that goal, yet to me it seemed as if he got it at first too. The problem? PADDLE DOWN!!!!!

Thrasher, a few days ago you poster something about me and a cuss jar but the message was deleted. I can now give you a update on the cuss jar. My wife took it and bought a new TV and a diamond ring. I’ll start refilling it the next time the Leafs play.

Yeah I got a little shy about using it again. Jokes are only funny once and I wasn't quite sure you or somebody else might misinterpret my intentions. So now we have a running gag?
You have to be a little happier after last night. The goalie played well. Monster kept the Leafs in it and gave them a chance.
I'm really hopin' Versus or NHL Network brings me some more Leafs games this month. Still not sure if the Leafs defensive challenges stem from Coach Wilson instituting a new system, or if it's the players making mental errors and not executing.
Honestly MLF, sometimes an aggressive pressure the puck carrier defense can look like their losing their heads running around out there.
Just curious, when you toss a loonie in the cuss jar does she make you add the GST?

it's a race to the bottom! Leafs and Nucks and goaltending that can't stop beachballs!
panic panic panic panic panic panic panic panic panic panic panic panic in the streets!!
People so ridiculous sometimes. Valium time for everyone.

That's what I've been doing non stop since game one, listening to all the insanity and .. sorry to say it.. but stupidity.. in the overreactions due to 3 frigging games.

but if Nucks miss out on home ice advantage or your Leafs miss the playoffs by 6 pts or less this would be week it happened.
I get your point though. There's lots of time to make it up and I'm still a fan of Alfred "What me worry" Newman ;)

Absolutely they could, but suggestions of "last place" are pretty bizarre at game 3.

Having a light hearted moment at one own expense is not your strong point. Relax and don’t be so uptight all the time. Even if they do loose a top 5 pick, so what, the world will go on and stupid people as well as uptight people will survive it.

Sorry, but what part of your original post identified as it being intended as a joke? usually a small little hint helps most of us.. thats what I try do to do when I'm posting something intended to be sarcastic.
Seriously MLF, I've been talking to tonnes of Leafs fans who actually believe what you posted... I just assumed you were doing the same.

I should have shown more clearly that it was intended to be lighthearted, I'll do better the next time. I hope the team turns it around soon so as Sports Net and TSN do not have heart attacks.

On one hand, I DO want the Leafs to finish last, because we could obviously use another top pick to add to guys like Hamil, Caron, Colbourne, Alexandrov, Button etc...
But on the other hand, I hated it when the B's were a last place loser. Being the butt of jokes sucks. And as such, I like the Leaf fans here, and I know it sucked when everyone made fun of the B's. I dont wish that on anyone!
All of that said.....I dont think they will finish last. It appears that it could be somewhere in the 1-10 range. That is just about guaranteed.
I dont know if Kessel will appreciably help the Leafs. He WILL help and he will score goals, but just how many he can score is debatable.
If I had to wager a guess, based on current look as well as future promise.....I'd say 5th overall.
Later

5th overall.
You think they will be worse than last year?
Maine must have the bad weed then. ;)

Yeah MLF, when communicating with cult members you have to be very clear and careful ;) Like pin ball machines and poker players they tend to go on tilt.
