Would be nice to get one of these

He sounds so alive when he's not talking hockey

Not disagreeing here, just wanted to note that Matthews was the first to do it after McDavid (idiot) and Eichel bucked the earlier trend from the beginning of the Cap era where premium 1OA centres walked right to UFA on deal 2. Sidney Crosby signed 5 x 8.7M AAV (15.34% of the Cap) coming out of...

Only dumb 1OA picks sign long term on the second contract (McDavid, Hughes, and I’m going to throw Eichel in here even though he was 2OA).

All the big money pooling in the Pacific garbage division

I already updated the original post this morning but I doubt anyone noticed :) Officially from the source

Aside from the skating and edgework, Willy is disgustingly good off the rush because he can fend off checkers with his free hand (which is his dominant one, a rarity), and he just barely handles the puck until there is a reason.

Leafs alumni came out of the woodwork to throw their hat into the ring because they still bleed blue and white

The agent in question doesn't really do this for any of his other players, so the Occam's Razor conclusion is he is doing it at the behest of the one he represents on this matter. The only purpose it serves at this point, since Toronto isn't going to pay Marner anything more the way these...

Was that Nylander cherry picking in the upper corner on that first score?

Disagreeing in a forum is not suppressing freedom of speech. Badgering a corporation to fire someone for saying something you don’t like very much is.

Shoutout to Steve Keogh (recently departed PR director) in part 2 Edit: can a site admin let us know if you get a message from the players representative complaining that their guy is only being discussed as a Minor Ex-Leaf.

It's very fair to put the caveat on Marner playing through an injury, that Dreger reported was a mild high ankle sprain* prior to the Boston series. I just wanted to note how Marner got injured, because I still laugh/cry about it. * both Darrens/his agents are a bit stretchy with truths, eh...

I’m older than Kane so therefore I have no gas left (unless I go a bit heavy on the Wendy’s chili)

Oh they had some major editing work to do on this one lol I really like Holinka and I hope he gets a long run as a centre in the top 6 for the Marlies. Make him a budget MacKinnon.

That certainly fair, and I'm not saying the claims are baseless. But one side keeps bringing them up and treating these as cardinal sins that led to the player's decision to... play here for another full 6 years and stay for the entire duration because it was sooooo bad? I think we can all see...
