Supposedly a tweet from Luongo Some people say 4 more years of Obama. I look at it more like 4 more years of disgruntled goalie politically charged Facebook rants! #I❤TT thats funny........ why does timmy hate obama? cuz he wants millionaires to pay more tax and romney didnt? Romney paid the taxes at the same rate as anyone else in the US on money he made on investments. 14% is the rate of tax on money made through investment. If you or I invested in stocks and made money we'd pay the same rate of tax. Taxing investment, which is risky already, at higher rates would make investment less attractive and hurt our markets. Comparing it to wages is just another means of propaganda to demonize the man, which is the Dem's standard operating mode. Sorry for this non-hockey post, but I think the last post is a cheap shot, and not hockey related. ...Moving forward I will keep the talk on the hockey board to hockey.

I don't think the post had anything to do with Romney's personal taxes. Obama wants to tax large wage earners more and Romney opposed that.

I know there isn't much to talk about with no hockey, but let's give the political banter a rest. We've all had more than our share of it over the past year and a half.
Thank you

1. Most players under contract for 2014-15: Boston, 12, excluding Dougie Hamilton; Philadelphia 10, including Chris Pronger. Toronto (Mikhail Grabovski, Jon Michael Liles, James Van Riemsdyk) and the Rangers (Rick Nash, Brad Richards, Marc Staal) have the fewest. Thanks to capgeek.com for the help.A random thought, but an upsetting one - I am guessing that PC signed our guys this summer to (maybe) overpriced extensions because he had inside info from our pal JJ that he and his tightwad cronies would get a salary rollback out of the PA. And that thought being if there isn't one and the cap goes down, this will be twice JJ has fucked this team with his 'lockout strategy'.

It's sad that olde Skelator got time with the Cup and got to be part of all the celebrations. They won despite him, not because of him.

Of all good and wonderful memories I have of the Cup win, watching JJ with it wasn't among them. And the crack he made to Neely was unforgivable, regardless of how it was intended. Fucking pruned up, miserable old prick.

All leagues already have trophies to play for not sure Stanley is going anywhere .. Because of the court ruling during the last lockout, you know a lot of angry fans will push for the Cup to be awarded to someone. The trustees have already said that they don't need to award it and probably won't if there was another lost season.

What would you rather own? The Leafs or for the same money the Bruins and Blackhawks with enough left over to grab the Capitals or lower?
It's amazing that the Leafs continue to pull in that kind of money by putting the product on the ice that they do.

If a second team in Southern Ontario won a Cup before the Leafs, you may see that number tumble down a significant precentage.

The culture of losing and having no sense of urgency has gone on for far too long. It's not OK to miss the playoffs for as many years in a row as they have and to STILL be worth $1 billion. That is as ass backwards as it gets.

Lifelong Leaf fans are genetically deluded and it's going to take a generation or two to thin out the gene pool.

Matt Sekeres - Am told by 2 NHL sources that #Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs forced employees to pay tax on 2011 Stanley Cup rings. About $7K per ring, Some support staff couldn't afford the tax up front, so players stepped up and covered the cost so they could get rings too.
