Matthews scores!  2-0 Leafs!

 

[ZBBM]

That was clutch.  Calder-clutch.

 

[McGarnagle]

That was a great pass to Matthews from Brown, but even more impressive to me was that little pivot dish by Gardiner. That created the open ice that started the whole play.

I'm sure he'd get more AAV on the open market. The term brings it down. Going rate for solid D. Also, AWESOME MATTHEWS is coming for legendary PETER IHNACEK and his rookie points record

 

[McGarnagle]

If the scores stand up, Leafs only 2 points back of Ott.

We rule BTW

O'Neill's comment was the only thing I was thinking too.  7 years after 1 year in the league....  But in today's structure, yeah I get it.  You just have to hope he doesn't drop off to below a 3/4 level.

It'd be pretty disingenous for the Leafs to be super-excited about signing Zaitsev because of what he did in the KHL and then pretending that the KHL didn't exist when negotiating an extension.

 

[McGarnagle]

I think probably the thinking that this year represents his baseline based upon the transition into the NHL. Good risk/reward, imo.

Your point? said Mr. Lamoriello.

 

[Kin]

Your point? said Mr. Lamoriello.

Pretty sure Lou knows all about losing guys to the KHL.

 

[herman]

I love that Kapanen tried that move again.

 

[ZBBM]

Pretty sure Lou knows all about losing guys to the KHL.

He also knows Zaitsev's not going back there.

 

[McGarnagle]

Wild 4-1 up on Ott.

NYI done like dinner. Surely Tavares can't re-sign with this clown show.

 

[disco]

I love that Kapanen tried that move again.

For sure, he's playing with gusto. Freddie looks 100% after getting rattled on Saturday, great news.

 

[lamajama]

Anyone else think the time is going in reverse.....?

 

[Kin]

He also knows Zaitsev's not going back there.

Well, not if he's willing to give him 7 years it seems.
