I read an interview with Blankenburg. I hope he nabs a spot.

I get that most times now. It’s annoying, but obviously not as annoying as 1300 bots, or anything that takes the forum down, so I can live with it It does raise existential questions of myself, however 🤔

Yes, I think as YYZ alluded to we swung far too far the other way and killed the joy. There is a happy medium, hopefully

I don’t think that L2 plans to do much defending, which probably is ok with the more rounded bottom 2 lines.

I read this article, and the key word that comes up a few times is “fun”. I think last couple of years the Leafs weren’t fun. They didn’t seem to buy into fun. In fact, fun seemed to be a bad word. Then a lot of players seemed weighed down. I think and hope this augurs well. Playing loose and...

If you can’t be delusionally overly optimistic at this point of the season, when can you be?

I haven’t read the thoughts on the thoughts as yet, but my thought is that we’re still 1 forward and one D short of ideal depth. My other thought is I’m not sure how that depth can be obtained outside of more FA signings or a trade but a trade would likely open a hole elsewhere.

I guess that means no Alexander Nylander call ups this season.

I can give my own personal experience. It’s not quite the same level of professionalism, but… a long time ago I was playing on my clubs (not hockey, a different sport) first team. But I wasn’t really good enough to have a “top” role on the first team. For a while it was nice just to BE in or...

Brian Burke top 6/bottom 6 template in force again. Except with players who can play a bit.

Still think the D needs a bit of work.

If they can swing something for Werenski that would be… confusingly excellent.

I was scared to say that 🤣
