Coyotes @ Leafs - Oct. 26th, 7:30pm - TSN4, Fan 590

CtB, you jipped the Leafs a loser point up top as well. What do I win??  I'll take the refill out of that pen, unless you've got some lint-covered Granny candy in your pocket. 

Loser points are for losers. You lose for pointing it out. Give busta another pen!

 

[Zee]

I'm interested in seeing Domi tonight.  On a related note, can someone refresh my memory as to why the Leafs didn't pick until #21 in the 2013 draft?  Could have had a chance to draft Domi if the Leafs had a higher pick.

Because we got into the playoffs only to have our hopes dashed in a very Leafian fashion?

Yeah, after I researched I figured it out, perhaps my brain was blocking that painful memory from me in an effort to spare my body of physical hurt.  A little bit of me died again when I remembered.

Oh boy, Flashbacks of Frattin missing that breakaway late in the 3rd and up 4-1

All you pens are belong to me!

Edit: oh nevermind, it was after that strike year and the Leafs actually made the playoffs...

How did you forget the one year in the past decade the Leafs didn't suck out loud?

Not that I think you mean it in a really bad way, but that term isn't particularly politically correct anymore and you might want to drop it.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm more offended by the use of the term or that it's spelled incorrectly. I mean, if you're going to be ethnically insensitive, at least check your spelling!

Seriously, though, stop using the term. There may not be many (or any) gypsies posting around here, but still . . .

To be honest I do that a lot too when I scan through hockeydb's page for Leafs draft picks.

"No top-10 pick in 2013? Huh, guess we must have traded it".

Seriously, though, stop using the term. There may not be many (or any) gypsies posting around here, but still . . .

For what it's worth, some people think that "gypsy" is, itself, an ethnic slur. The people commonly referred to that are really the Roma or Romani.

Although it does have to be said that some Roma do call themselves Gypsies but that might be one of those "We're allowed to say it, you're not" things.

I might be 1/16th Roma. It's a family debate.

Look for the Leafs in lavender gear tonight. It's #HockeyFightsCancer.  Proceeds from tonight's #HockeyFightsCancer fundraising will benefit @CampTrillium.

I decided to check that spelling and found a version that said '...as in JIP or 'joined in progress', ie, a tv show that cut off the beginning' ... I could probably live with that if gypped wasn't one of those left over bigoted terms that still seems to be in use, even if those using it are ignorant to it's origin ( I mean, they could be 'taking it back', but I doubt it ).

Then again I'm a pretty huge fan of Patrice O'Neal, so what do I know.

I don't know about all that, I was just a big Three Stooges fan growing up.  My apologies if I offended anyone, but bigger apologies for my poor spelling.

Nik, your family debates sound riveting, and Busta, you're a pen hog.

 

[bustaheims]

Busta, you're a pen hog.

I work for a software company, which obviously means we're way behind the times and I spend a lot of time physically writing things. I need all the pens.

You're not getting my damned pen.

I'll have your pen, even if I have to pry it from your cold, dead hands!

 

[Kin]

Nik, your family debates sound riveting, and Busta, you're a pen hog.

Just to clarify, the family debate isn't about whether or not "Gypsy" is an ethnic slur but whether or not our family is, in fact, part Romani.

It's a complicated tale of adoption and gold digging and colonialism.

Edit: and just to clarify my clarification, I just wanted to affirm that I am not, and would have no real cause to be, offended.

 

[Bullfrog]

You're not getting my damned pen.

I'll have your pen, even if I have to pry it from your cold, dead hands!

I'm never going to die.

You might not, but your hands will.

Are you implying that Daniel Winnik is immortal?

 

[Arn]

My favourite week of the year when the UK clocks have gone back and the North American continent ones haven't so I get to go to bed at 2am instead of 3am if I catch the whole game. Of course the problem is this week might suck me back in and make me want to watch EVERY game again

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Nice of the Leafs to let Domi get a goal there.
