Not the goalie that the hockey experts were tripping over themselves to crown as a Conn Smythe favourite? Who's not even playing tonight? Well I'm just shocked. Flabbergasted even.

I thought McDavid played a role with the NHLPA to facilitate the firing of Babcock from Columbus... Or is that just something my mind invented?

If this was true (which I don't think it is) I think the leafs dodged a bullet. He's just another Babcock old school clone.

Honestly Edmonton winning the cup doesn't bother me. McDavid deserves it and I've always had a soft spot for the Oilers. But realistically the Oilers aren't winning the cup - unless of course there's a dramatic change in goal. The narratives - I just don't care about anymore. Like I'm hearing...

I want this to happen so badly - the Babcock part.

Wtf does 'insist upon a long term contract' mean?

Lol

To be honest I kinda like this idea - a former player who understands the current crop of NHL players as he just finished playing with them, I think just from a psychological perspective this is an interesting strategy. Not some guy from the 80s/90s trying to force antiquated strategies... I...

Just to be clear I went on a tangent based on one of the points you made. I want to do the same thing by looking into 'norris calibre' defenceman as you mentioned.

You brought up an interesting point here and got me thinking how many goalies have won the Vezina and the cup in the same season, turns out it's incredibly rare only happened 4 times Tim Thomas (2010-11) Martin Brodeur (2002-03) Grant Fuhr (1987-88) Billy Smith (1981-82) So then I thought how...

Here's the thing - you can put out all the stats you like in support of Marner, and by and large I thought he was (just) ok in the playoffs for the leafs . But put that aside, here's what I think is insane about this 10 year leafs run - not once did any individual player go nuts and have a...

This is sarcasm right? I'm slow this morning

I haven't watched a single second of this series, I'm just going by box scores - how anyone could think Andersen was having some kind of Hasek playoff run is beyond me.

Honestly it's such a stupid question. If it was me, I'd honestly answer 'this question is stupid'. I mean who cares, he's still going to get drafted. Not exactly the same thing, but way back when I was a student, I interviews for a customer service job with rogers. The interviewer asked me 'if...

These are all valid points and yes it's a 2 way street. However, my main beef is with the narrative that the fans chased him out of town. I still do not believe he was targetted and harrased in person and has his properties trashed. I just don't buy it. That's not a Toronto thing at all. You...
