I don't really see the benefit of a full-on tank this year, since that will most likely result in Boston getting a better pick. It just makes so much sense to get a new (i.e. good) coach in and see what this roster actually is/has. If they go on a streak, great, nothing to lose and Boston gets a...

I don't think so either. I'm just putting it in the context of that fact that his price was elevated due to having an extra year of control and 50%/max salary Cap retention, which weren't part of the price for L.A. And his numbers have taken a nosedive from Philly to Toronto. Take the 3rd round...

Leafs just need another year to become more familiar with Berube-style hockey. They'll be dumping in pucks on breakaways in no time!

Toronto acquired Laughton with 50% salary retained and an extra year of control on his deal, expecting him to be a 3C. L.A acquired with him no salary retention and an expiring contract, playing as a 4C. It didn't work out, obviously, but this isn't as mind-blowing, fire the GM type of an...

Not like this would or would have made a lick of a difference, but I'm curious as to why the effective McCabe-Stecher pairing was ditched a while back and (to my recollection, at least) never re-established? McCabe playing his offside, and Myers in seems like..a much worse...

hockey reference has that. Just search a player and click on the relevant year, it will show all the list of games and their stats for ex: https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/n/nylanwi01/gamelog/2022/

CBC just showed a replay that had 8 Czechia skaters on the ice prior to that 3rd goal :oops:

I think it would be fitting that the Leafs brought in someone whose last name essentially evokes what this organization is made of.

Is it weird that there are only 3 right-handed forwards in that group of 12 or am I putting too much stock into that?

Think there's a re-run of Chopped airing later I'd rather catch..

Absolutely, adaptation and learning from one's mistakes should also be part of any cohesive plan (and, as we saw, the Cap not moving for multiple years and the standard principle of officiating suddently doing a 180 can add additional, significant obstacles). But the ability to include and...

Yea, I don't understand what people are hoping to hear. If he comes out yelling and screaming, that makes him a good leader? What is he supposed to say? The team is in a funk and he can't walk 2 steps without a question about Marner or some other garbage. Actions speak louder than words and...

This team has managed to have years of continued success (in terms of regular season and making palyoffs) simply by virtue of their star players. It's almost like they're on auto-pilot mode, and behind the scenes it's re-arranging deck chairs and making small roster and system tweaks that...

I still don't get how a guy at the other end of the rink, with the worst vantage point, can make a call...

Yea...like..they've overturned calls before...why cant that be rescinded?

Echoing what rdowall said, I still think the best response would be to stop showing his clips and his comments. Why give him a platform? All of the late night shows and pundits love to joke and laugh, but the person IS a joke. There is no satire or triumphant take down to be found when you're...

Missed this one, how did they look? Seems like they came out strong, but losing Nylander (and 3-1 PP opportunities against) kinda sunk them?

Just too much sloppy defensive play and errant passing/giveaways. There are always questionable calls in this tourney but Canada actually benefited from a few themselves. Czechia deserved this one

1-1 after the first. Czechia looks quite good. Canada looking a bit Leaf-ian in the d-zone.

I mean...I'm writing in a pretty calm and civilized manner. You keep swearing and ranting like a petulant child, which is why I brought it up. No worries, feel free to take your own advice and stop reading mine. And "couldn't care less" is the term you're going for.
