Not to pick on anyone directly, but I still remember all of those Heiskanen for Marner deals perfectly. Boy they didn’t age well at all.


And this one aged like milk...

Do you just keep ACGM's links to see how they age?

I look at Leaf trolls all the time when I'm stressful, and I want a laugh. I remember only a couple of them though, he was one that I remembered.

Does anyone know if a spectator had to be vaccinated to attend game six? Or could anyone who bought a ticket attend, regardless of whether or not they had the shot?

Well they all had mask and the capacity was super low ( 11.7% ) so they probably didn't have to be vaccinated

Sakic doesn’t have a GM of the year award


Somehow he's actually underrated, people seem to think Yzerman is the clear cut best GM.

Personally I don't see why, I think Sakic is the best GM in the league.

Yzerman and Sakic are both masterminds, Julien Brisebois should also be in contention

Yes, Briesbois' name doesn't get brought up enough either with Yzerman actually constructing the team, but Briesbois added key depth pieces and that's a big reason Tampa one.

All 3 gm's are great though.

I'm sad the EK trade and aging contracts fell doug out that list cause IMO he really deserved one award for the run he gave the Sharks, hell he deserved a cup like Jumbo and company - because everyone can laugh at the Sharks and the trade and contracts. But When you look at the statistics the Sharks carried for basically two decades - you woulda thought that they won ATLEAST one cup. Woulda thought they coulda been a dynasty (not actually but you get what I mean). The wins - loses, the points scored by couture and pavelski. The absoulte dominance through twenty years in regular season and playoffs. Sad to see the teams current state. They were a model team and one that shockingly (with broken hearts) never won the cup.

But seeing what those three have done; its clear that these guys are a step above every other gm. I really like Brisebois too. He's done some great lowkey work - and some great contracts. Like the Cernak deal - obviously Erik Cernak deserves some credit for taking a great deal but Brisebois aint no slouch gm "picking up" the tampa powerhouse.

Sakic has just made a work of art.

Yzerman got mocked for the Seider selection LOL. Which was a fantastic "off the board" pick.

Also - if Nylander gets traded.. thats just brutal. I gotta say Nylander has slapped all the critics (including myself) around this year and this playoffs. If he were to be traded, imo it would be so disrespectful. The kids put in work and doing all he can. Business is business but he's earned his pay and spot.

Nylander's not going anywhere at this rate. Whenever he slacks off Keefe lets him know and he's back to being great. Dude learns.

Just gonna re-post this with a small edit after the Muzzin news:

Quoting: LeafsFanForSomeReason
I'm not really into sports betting (or betting of any kind, really), but in the infinite wisdom of the oddsmakers, the Canadiens - who are playing in a Game 7 against the Tavares-less, Muzzin-less, Toronto Maple Leafs team - are somehow +170 underdogs. Any other Leaf fans seriously considering putting money on MTL in that game to soften the blow of a potential loss?

God I hope Toronto wins tonight, not only because it will be something I haven't witnessed in my lifetime, but also it will save everyone the pain of Marner/Rielly trade ACGM'S. Please Leafs save your season and the internet, because it will be broken if they collapse yet again.

Ontario is super strict, were actually still in lockdown. I wouldn't say were swamped with COVID, nor would I say its really bad. Were just super strict trying to end the "third wave" but its been a while now. Lockdown for the last month/ couple months.

We'll be "freed" in June lol. Plus vaccine rollouts picking up fast.

Round 2 or 3 if TOR even moves on will see more fans potentially.
