Like, bare feet in skates? I do the same.

And I'd guess Polak not playing at 100% health. He's definitely played himself into another contract next year.

Bonus experience! The kids win either way!  ;D

Oh, Nylander gave Matthews the game on his stick at the end there. Win or lose, the team's been full value tonight.

Marincin has been pretty steady, considering coming in cold.

You're right. I spaced on Carlson. Still, to win the president's trophy back to back on the strength of an elite forward group backed by a "solid"  D corps is probably the best model the leafs can hope for without bottoming out again.

The best long term strategy to rein in NK is to encourage them to integrate them into the rest of the world. Diplomacy is always the best course, particularly in this instance, and unfortunately Trump's idiocy is likely to set that back decades.

I know the ideal is to have a great #1 D to anchor the blueline, but it seems to me that the Leaf fans could take heart in the Washington model as a fallback: Orlov/Niskanen Orpik/Shattenkirk (deadline) Alzner/Schmidt Very solid, but certainly nothing Norris votey in there. Surely a D of this...

Maybe I'm alone on this, and I certainly wasn't a big fan of Martin's acquisition, but I never for a second thought that he was acquired to play an "enforcer" role. They wanted a big body to put up a lot of hits to soften up the opposing D, that wouldn't be a massive liability 5 on 5. He's...

That's actually pretty interesting that he's been following the team so closely. I liked the guy when he was in Toronto, he seemed like a class act. It's going to be hard to get a hate on for anyone on the caps, except maybe wilson.

Speech!  :)

I've recently found a feature of the site that allows me to enjoy the gdts, but it doesn't filter quoted material. It's not that I don't can't appreciate contrasting opinion, but constant negativity to the point of trolling, especially with the season we've had, is just too painful to skip...

And a solid thumbs up to Bullfrog - who nailed the Top Forward/D combination with Matthews and Gardiner.

Ended the season with a bit of whimper, but the advantage to playing the caps is that since we'll be such underdogs, I doubt there'll be much stopping the kids from just playing loose without a great deal of pressure. That'll be fun to watch.

I'd agree, if there was more youth, particularly with more of a punishing game. I think still there's a need for a 6/7 vet that can do some PK.

Tom cochrane still sounds pretty good.

You have. The free-range ones taste way better.

Patrick O'Sullivan was saying that the leafs should really consider re-signing him.

Nah, that's clearly intentionally leaked misinformation. The REAL spreadsheet they use only has +/-, hits, beardlessness, and %goodintheroom.
