At least three passes across that could have, and likely should have, been goals.  Samsonov has looked good.  But thankfully Detroit has botched a few sure goals.

Matthews' also won that way too cleanly and banked it off the boards right into Islanders possession.

I'd sign him in a heartbeat.  Definitely has some of what the Leafs are missing and need.

I thought that was deflected.

Two goals showing off his slick mitts.

The TSN quiz is a channel-changer.  Insufferable.

Just to further on this -- I know they are neck and neck, but Marner is just as likely to become the Leafs all-time leading point getter as Matthews is.  598 to 588 in favour of Marner, who has played 27 more games.  Mats is at 987, a number both will smash assuming they are here for the...

This is as close to the exact offer Marner will likely receive and accept. Above Nylander and below Matthews (which is the right pecking order), and max contract that should take him too close to retirement as a member of the Leafs.

Happy it's done, and happy it's for 8 years.  This should, hopefully, see Nylander be a career-long Leaf along with Rielly. 

Got a scare in Anaheim, but took care of business and walked away with all 6 points from the west swing as they should have after shutting out the Kings.

Going to be an interesting case study to see the viability and sustainability of the league once the novelty and initial excitement from the league starting up wears off.  Not convinced the league will be able to survive for the long term. Regardless, wish the league and its members success. ...

Tavares at league minimum seems like a huge stretch.  Hometown discount, sure.  But I don't see him falling off a cliff like Spezza did in his 34 and 35 years to have to scrounge for that type of deal. Anything between $5 and $7 million and I'll be happy.  He's been a good soldier for the team...

Good, greasy road victory.  No reason they shouldn't sweep the Western road trip now.

I understand what the league is trying to accomplish with these types of calls.  But the number of these "cheapy" calls are really ticky-tack.  There should be more leeway on little love taps. Some of the calls today in the Sweden-Switzerland WJC game were perfect examples of how lame they can...

He'll definitely sign for less.  He'll have to.  Will $6 or 7 million be enough to re-sign him though?  Will be interesting to see what his intentions are.  And of course his play between now and then.  He seems like a humble guy who would forgo uprooting his family for a couple extra million if...

That was a heckuva reception by Jarnkrok on the pass.  Wow.

I imagine a Nylander signing, coupled with Matthews' bump and a presumed Marner signing and raise, that'll signal the end of Tavares's career as a Maple Leaf following next season. Unless one of the Big Three gets traded (highly doubtful), Tavares would need to take a significant pay cut, or...

Hmmm.  Maybe a shade too high dollars wise, but will happily see the team sign that if it's for the max 8 years.

I don't see why teams don't try this more often.  I know it's two different positions, and thus mindsets.  But an offensively inclined d-man who may jump into the play often would enjoy the extra offensive freedom.  He's lower on their depth chart on the back end, so worth the trial on the...

Not unexpected.  Something had to give. He'll likely clear and go down to the Marlies to hopefully regain some confidence.  Just like the Oilers did with Campbell.  Or, he just may toil in obscurity.
