Roberston out :rolleyes:

A big problem here, though, was that the Leafs spent more than they anticipated re-upping both Matthews and Marner, and then went to Willy with a 5M per year initial offer, which was a joke. You can talk about Pastranak, and, quite frankly, he took less from Boston than he could have squeezed...

He's quoting a post regarding how poor Nylander was, he's not knocking Marner. Anyway I really don't like Nylander with Tavares, they constantly have trouble getting out of their own end. Tavares needs much better support in the defensive zone and Nylander (as well as Domi) is probably the...

1st and Minten for Carlo, at 3.49M for another 2 years beyond this one, again, surprisingly, seems kinda, really good?

Not to mention having OEL locked in on the 3rd pairing for those 3 runs...

You know, I was prepared to hate this deal but after seeing the absolutely bonkers prices this deadline, dare I say I actually kind of like this deal? 50% retention, 2027 1st, top 10 protected, a 4th and 6th coming back for a legitimate 3rd line, penalty killing Centre with another year on his...

Carolina has a pretty decent lineup... :oops:

Yea, it is just so maddening....Deals were willfully signed by each nation...And the USA benefits HUGELY from us.The whining, lies, ignorance, hate, and just downright stupidity has reached such a level that I can't believe this is actually reality right now.

So I'm having difficulty figuring out if we are just THAT much slower (and sloppier) than Edmonton or if the last two periods is more of product of the collapsing, defensive, protecting the lead system that's trying to be instilled. Cuz....that was brutal

So I get that Matthews and Marner are, respectively, the team's #1 and #2 players and deserve "top line" status, but man, this forward corps has significant holes defensively and strigently keeping your best defensive centre and best overall defensive forward on the same line really exacerabtes...

Ryan Reaves played less than 5 minutes last night.....So..the idea is...to make an injury-plagued team more shorthanded? I honestly can't believe he's still playing...

Isnt it amazing when the people who whine about not being able to use free speech (all whilst using free speech) get outraged when free speech (or facts) are spouted back at them...

And based on these matchups, I don't think it would be unfair to suggest that each of these series' were akin to a Conference Final rather than a 1st round playoff. Would we be talking about the Leafs' anemic playoff record had they succumbed to multiple game 7 Conference Finals? Obviously they...

And Highlander's vote counts just the same as LK's....what a shame

Maybe they felt they had no other choice, but a Cup-contending team that trades away a 40-50 goal, 90-100 point "home-grown" superstar well before the trade deadline certainly exhibits a tiny bit of boldness and gutsiness...

Furthermore, I'd also think you'd want to mix the better defensive players along those lines. Domi with Matthews works, but Nylander-Tavares is a mess in the defensive zone. Putting Marner with Tavares and Nylander with Kampf imo would work alot better

I still think an interesting, balanced lineup could look a bit like: Knies Matthews Domi McMann Tavares Marner Robertson Kampf Nylander Pacioretty Holmberg Lorentz Domi needs a stabalizing defensive forward (and is better suited towards the wing) and Tavares needs some extra...

Robertson Benoit McMann and Lorentz had nice games too

Great start to the game, not so great finish. The defence was really weak (coverage and outlet passing in particular). I'm shocked at how poor Rielly has been looking. Also, we need a legitimate 3C; Domi is absolutely clueless out there. We'd be better off putting a jersey on a jack russell...
