The issue with him really comes to playoffs

But the guys love him and often the record is good with him with only Bednar having the better record since hiring

Will be interesting to see what happens


Playoffs will be telling...no doubt.

senators doing Jack Capuano dirty by passing him over for a guy who hasn't coached since before the last lockout

like, seriously, brian gionta was the Habs' captain when Martin got fired from his last job.

the last time he won a playoff series his top D-pair was Andrei Markov and Roman Hamrlik

the last time he won a division his top line was Marian Hossa - Radek Bonk - Daniel Alfredsson

meanwhile Jack Capuano is biding his time, just waiting to unleash the battle levels back into the NHL

it's a damn shame

Correct, but he did lead the habs to the conference finals as an 8 seed

Who goes the other way though? The Canucks don't really need any more forwards, unless Pius Suter's health is a concern at 3C and they would rather have Blueger on the 4th line then Jason Dickinson could be an option.

Connor Murphy would have made more sense early in the season and maybe still does but he isn't as physical as Tocchet likes despite his size, although he is good on the PP.

Murphy averages 100+ hits a season I think Toccett would love him as he would be third in hits amongst Canucks with 65 hits currently

Also blocks shots and is not afraid to fight

No. He was hired in November 2019, which made 19-20 his first season as Leafs HC. 2021 was 2nd, 21-22 was 3rd, 22-23 was 4th, and this current one is his 5th

It's kind of strange tbh, because apart from Boeser, Mikheyev and Hoglander, if one removes Kuzmenko, not a lot of Canucks wingers consistently score goals.

Of course, it;s not everyone, but oh how I do love when Leafs fans get all ornery and try to mic drop on another team. Erm... you've won one playoff round in 19 years, own the longest Cup drought in NHL history (55 years and counting) and currently have as many regulation wins as Columbus and Ottawa. Just cool it, Sparky.

* - I'm venting here because I no longer wish to respond to the latest culprit. Pardon.

It's not the fans really its networks with corporate sponsorships being their main target audience so theres things they'll talk about and theres things they don't just like every form of media. Also i don't know what im talking about

(Leafs fans get interested in other teams too TBH... Kind of boring when your GM sleeps weeks on end)

I get where you're coming from - I've been on the other end of a certain group of Leafs fans (For doing the capital sin of trading one of the RW wingers to gain cap space to improve defence)... But, there are a ton of fans that clump fans into the same boat (Meaning they'd have a heated argument with a Leafs fan and turn around and get heavily 'toxic, if you will" with another.

But get how you feel, and I do get I've argued about, Knies specifically, with you... But, I do appreciate how you treated me throughout the argument and how you kept it between us and didn't explode on others...

What would be considered a “normal” amount of unpublished ACGM teams?
