FWIW, in retail (liquor store) we had instruction to check each 50 or 100 dollar bill for authenticity. Mostly look for the red / blue threads in the paper and dots in the face.

Re: I’m done as a Leafs...

Did I miss anyone of note from early '70's?

Careful. You don't want ... too many men on the ice. (of course that was late 70's).

Re: I’m done as a Leafs...

Well, you would get one of the leagues top +/- guys and a great penalty killer, even at his age. He doesn't put up points anymore (seems shy on shooting for some reason), but he is still defensively solid. But .. he isn't going to the Leafs. [more]

Toronto

Any truth to the rumor that the reason the Leafs signed Bogosian and Thornton was to teach Austin Matthews to grow proper facial hair?

Just asking.

Bruins - Grzelcyk - Hmmm....

So the Bruins sign Grzelcyk (26) for ~ 3.7M for 4 years taking him to UFA. Higher than I expected. While older, he was a teammate of McAvoy at Boston University. Note that last year, the younger McAvoy and Carlo both got bridge deals that leaves them [more]

Re: Boston - Kinda funny

FWIW, if I was Ottawa or Detroit, I would offer sheet Grzelcyk to handcuff the Bruins a bit in terms of cap. He won't be signed above the slot that only costs a second round pick, so it won't cost a lot, and ... a second round pick for an NHL [more]

Boston - Kinda funny

It is amusing to hear the local media act like the Bruins are 'doomed and doing nothing'. Panicking about the defense, and expressing desparation over adding the winger .. that they haven't had for years.

Re: Blues

Also ...

If Pietrangelo really did want to resign and was just using free agency for leverage, as it looks then that backfired on him badly. That will be very uncomfortable for Krug in the locker room as well.

Re: No Checking League!!!

I'd be more worried that 'no checks' means the players don't get paid. Going to be a very tough year for junior and lower league hockey.
