And likely the exact opposite of what Treliving would have done. Or what Berube would have wanted. I'm still skeptical on this new regime, but my god were those 2 ever awful.

I like Woll, and it's nice to have a drafted goalie who turned into something. But just something about him, I dunno, worried me. Like I feel that he shrinks in big games. I guess the return reflects what people think he's worth. I just don't see him turning into the next Rask.

I mean sure but no one is going to take on that stupid Stolarz contract.

I didn't play close attention to the canes but am I right to think that this is not a team of dirty players like Florida?

I didn't watch a second of the finals but taking a quick look at the stats - Eichel had 0 goals in the finals and 2 overall? This doesn't get any scrutiny? Well I guess that's the advantage of playing in such a hot market where no one gives a shit.

Yeah I realized after I posted that the fired coach likely does not get his name on the cup... Just the ring

Maybe they bring Cassidy back with one of those mission impossible masks. On a side note, if Vegas wins he should get a ring and his name on the cup no? It also seems to me that Vegas is the type of team not to do that. Because they're dicks.

They're welcome to have Stolarz.

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
