Real Olympic thread [[[[NO HOCKEY ALLOWED]]]]]

And there's the first softie goal from Freddie Toskala, Leafs are pulling their usual routine of working for one period and taking the rest of the game off, and Freddie has gone Muffinman, it's like clockwork with this lazy assed team, they don't call them the Loafs for nothing..

The only caveat about those boxers is that they can die in the heat really easily. If it's upper 80F out there, best not run with them. It has something to do with the short noses.

I board client dogs for the winter, the clients being in Europe until spring, come summertime, all the clients are back so they've all gone home by the time it gets hot, but we do have the river right here, so dog play in summer is water play, we don't run them in the summer heat.

Yeah, I take mine running by a large creek that has a trail running along it. If she ever showed signs of heat stroke, I'd just pick her up and wade into the water underneath some shade.

If it's too hot, she just parks her ass in the shade of a tree somewhere and won't budge. I have to pick her up at that point.

Now is the perfect time to run them, they love bounding through the snow, we ski, they run, all the woods around here are crisscrossed with ski trails, in summer it's nice hiking, in winter it's a doggy biathalon, ski and pee.

The Avs need these two points in Carolina real bad, missed both goals because of the fights though, 1-1 end of the first, too busy winning money betting on Volkanovski, it's a hard life.

Travis Dermott and Kasperi Kapanen; NHL ready rookies up from the A, taking jobs and logging serious minutes, these two are the latest harvest of the New Leafs draft and development program, first Nylander, Brown and Hyman, now the Marlboro's second wave is starting to arrive.

Kapanen and Dermott are real good, lots to be impressed with right there.

The Leafs showing patience and letting their draft picks ripen in the A, it's a whole new Leafs, all hail Shanahan!

And the best part is, Marlies in first place in the A, they send their two best guys up to the Leafs, and they don't even miss a beat, they won last night against the junior Devils, beat the junior Sens earlier today.

Kadri scores for 5-2, thank fuck, cause the Leafs were falling apart there, Mitch Marner sets it all up, Mitchy's on fire tonight, and good thing too, because the rest of the team came out in the third here completely sleepwalking, first unit out literally coughed the puck up ten times in the same goddamn shift, laziest fuckin' team in showbusiness.

Whenever these kids ever learn to put a consistent sixty minutes work in every game, they'll be a juggernaut, but until they do, it's still a draft and development program from period to period.

Avs PP is sooo fucking bad right now, had a five minute PP and dindu nuffin with it. 0-4 7 shots, just brutal.

5-3 now, still time for Ottawa to take this from the Loafs, the problem with this team is not so much the defence, not that it's an all star defence by any means, but all the problems start up front, with three lines which are offensive powerhouses, but are none the less pathologically incapable of managing the puck, they just cough the puck up habitually, they never stop dipsy doodling, even with a three goal lead, they keep dipsy doodling, until they hand it to the other team and it comes right back down their throats.

Babcock has the patience of Job, if it was me I would terrorize this team like Navy SEAL Hell Week all day every day, stop coughing the puck up, or you'll be crying bloody tears out your asses, PT you til you beg for death, Smitty Hitchcock has no mercy.
