So the Benoit-Myers pair was +1 tomight, but do not be fooled: it was only because of the stanchion.

It's the first commercial break. and I haven't seen a single "dump the puck in to nobody and give possession away". Where is Berube and what have you done with him?

You know, Stecher+McCabe at the blueline, Rielly+OEL on the flanks, and Benoit net front might actually outperform the current PP1

Oh, good point. Maybe the Leafs can still sell by retaining a bunch of salary on three guys. The need to maximize cap space at all costs isn't mission critical with such a weak UFA pool, whereas contending teams this year still need to fit under the playoff salary cap now and perhaps will value...

The management team should institute a new policy of "trade only with Barry Trotz"

Mermis has outplayed Benoit at this point, I'd love to see a run where Mermis gets priority over Benoit too

And yet, as a sign of how sad things are around here... Ryan Reaves is doing even better (55% xGF) this year in San Jose.

Amidst all the trials and tribulations of the bad D, the bad F, the bad goaltending, the bad coaching, and the bad GMing... Matias Maccelli is quietly winning his minutes. He now leads the entire team with a 53% xGF on HockeyViz https://pasteboard.co/50ObSKZxnjj5.png

I don't mean to revive an old thread here, but amidst the struggles and the fandom questioning whether it's Berube's fault, Erik Karlsson just the other day gave this quote about the switch from Mike Sullivan to Dan Muse: Part of me thinks that there's a "do the things that someone tells you...

David Alter is claiming that it's a salary cap optimization thing.. https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/latest-news/why-the-maple-leafs-placed-joseph-woll-on-long-term-injured-reserve …but also that could simply be the party line.

Nylander is going to become a coach in this league someday. But, alas, it will turn out he is the spiritual successor to Randy Carlyle and not the spiritual successor to Jacques Lemaire.

I love how the spotlight guy is like "gotta make sure people know where puck rolls to after the goal"

Matthews is on pace for 40 ENGs + 20 regular goals. Who needs assists from Marner when you can just shoot when they don't have a goalie

He did spring the odd-man rush, so that's gotta be worth something
