Dubey 1,035 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 So, I went to Phoenix on Wednesday with a bunch of buddies for my Bachelor party. Joe Colbourne happened to be on our flight, my brother knows him from working out at NSD in Calgary. He ended up sitting right next to us all on the plane. We were all drinking together on the plane, and when we got to Phoenix, we had a party bus to pick us up at the airport, so we told Joe he could hitch a ride with us to the house he was staying at for the weekend. Just before we dropped him off, he said to me "Hey man, I know it's your party and I don't want to intrude, but is it cool if me and Jake Gardiner come out and party with you guys tonight?". So, Long story short, on the first night of my bachelor party, we partied with Joe Colbourne and Jake Gardiner. Both unbelievable guys. Colbourne in particular was one of the nices guys I've ever met. I got some pics on my phone I'll try to post 'em up later if I have time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You should have said no to Gardiner. He was on the ice for the OT goal. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 This is just insanity...A team that we "beat" is about to win the Stanley Cup...(maybe jinx them, even better) If the Bruins win the cup, I think the Leafs should get their name on there too, for handing them game 7.

iBeaver 409 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If my team is going to lose a championship I want the team that beats them to win it all. I would rather lose to the champs than a team that gets to the next round(s) and gets beat. Link to post Share on other sites

Your brother should of asked them on the prospect of having Dallas Eakins be his coach next year.. Eakins looks like he will be coaching in the NHL, might be the Oilers.

Dubey 1,035 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I actually asked Joe about Eakins at the airport when we were both sober (ish). He likes him a lot. Says he's not quite as up on the technical aspects of coaching as Randy is (line matching and in game stuff), but from a personal standpoint, he says he's the kind of guy you really want to play for, and everyone that plays for him absolutely loves him. I'm going to puke if he ends up going to the Canucks as a head coach. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 the Leafs are the only team I know of that does this. do other teams? the Pens give away the jerseys off their backs in the final home game, maybe the Leafs do too, I don't know, lots of teams do. not that I begrudge capitalism or profiteering, but this would irk me a little if it weren't some sort of charity-based operation.

mrdannyg 274 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Game socks for $10 definitely the best deal on there. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I have been to a few of these sales. If you want anything you have to get there early. Prices however are extreme. I always went at the end when they want to get rid of stuff. Game socks were $2 each. I think I grab 5-8 pairs (they are presently sitting in my basement collecting dust). I remember getting 2 pairs of game used gloves. One of them were Mike Van Ryn's gloves. I got him to sign them before he left the Leafs. I am not sure where the money goes to but since they don't advertise a charity I would expect it to go directly to the Leafs. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Got the following text from a friend, who CLAIMS this is from a very credible source..I dont buy it, but very interesting: Leafs have offered two mid level roster players and a package of draft picks to Tampa for the 3rd overal pick and Vinny Lecavalier, who would then be bought out. While interesting not sure the validity of such a humongous deal. Link to post Share on other sites
