The battle for 3LD come 2025 will be interesting to say the least

Benoit vs. Webber vs. Mattinen

Which big man will survive tune in next time on DBZ


Mattinen is an RHD, probably #8

His lack of urgency to get to the bench looked bad but to blame him for the rest is just nonsense. But it's par for the course with you. You see what you want and nothing else.


Will leave it with this

Kyper said it best on the show today posted the clip already

Heck Keefe's comments make it worse as if he was done with regular season hockey why play him lul if thats what we were gonna get.

Lazy plays be not good no matter if its game 1 or 82

Zadorov's gonna get more look at last FA big physical Dman got a lot

Dewar is gonna get more than 900k

Domi aint signing that at minimum3.5m


You also forgot Liligren whose gonna cost 2-3m so right there over. Again they cannot bring back Domi and Bertuzzi and build a proper Dcore its not doable


We shall see then

Over the cap even with Jarnkrok, Timmins, and Robertson gone

And this also if factoring an underpaid Zadorov. Plus fielding a 20man team with no extras not wise

With how the kids have done best course of action is diverting funds to the Dcore and having room for extra players.

Weird little stat: The leafs are the most dangerous offence this season... Leading the league in goals at 303

Also, where can I find number of goal post hit by a certain player?

Yea, no reason to spend upfront. Money should be going to the D core.

McMann, Robertson, Holmberg, Knies and maybe Minten can fill key roles.

I'd also move Kampf and Jarnkrok, with the cap going up both should have some value.

0 need to move either

Kampf value is borderline capdump if they want to trade. Look what Van had to give to move Dickinson. Since we got Dewar hes been better and whether Reaves plays or someone else been happy with the second half 4th line. Jarnkrok when healthy is useful can play everywhere and we need guys like that.

Cant just be all kids in the lineup need veterans to in order to fill some roles. Otherwise other issues arise

There is an outside chance they can make a small add up front. Maybe you give Domi some term if he's willing to sign for around 3. I know I can't believe I am saying this either but he's certainly been playing well with Matthews.

Morning of playoff hockey. God I missed this feeling.

Faith - 0%
Passion - 100%

Let's ride!

Game 2: 4-1 TOR
Game 3: 4-3 BOS
Game 4: 2-1 OT TOR
Game 5: 6-3 BOS
Game 6: 5-2 TOR

TOR 3-2 series

Coming out strong is a must. Not at all Keefe's track record for the playoffs but hopefully it happens. And hopefully whoever starts in net (Keefe is going to go with Sammy) doesn't let in a couple of softies that sink the game.

Big 4 just have to play like they did the TBL series last year and not the FLA series and we're good. No disappearing till we down 3-0


TOR bottom 6 especially with Willy down there should eat BOS alive


Like they did with Vasilesky go for Swaymans weakness (rebound control)

Kind of funny how last year we faced BOS in the playoffs and this year are eerily similar

GM fumbled the Nylander contract negotiations (should have gave him his 10m in the summer)

HC job is on thin ice

Were the underdogs

Least the difference this time is Big boyz in their primes and we won a round last year

Reaves chasing a hit rather than playing hockey.

Will be vital for the playoffs though…

Hindsight’s 20/20, but it’s funny how we were worried about Woll allowing a goal on the first shot of Game 1, only for Samsonov to do just that. It can only get better from here I guess

3rd line looks small and is playing small.
Don't like the feel
