Yes, the playoff point is fair. My kind of counter is the regular season is a guaranteed 82 games of watching Marner. The playoffs is no guarantee of any games (though if that did happen with the current roster I think there’d be serious problems to address elsewhere). So from an...

I'd pretty much pay Marner whatever he wants. Well, within reason. I enjoy watching Marner, he's an unbelievably skillful player and watching the likes of him and Matthews (and Nylander) who will likely end up as some of the top 1-10 leafs points/goals getters of all times playing on the same...

Funny enough, I've just seen this article in The Athletic as well, the "Could have been a Blue Jay" roster. Which I think kind of backs up the point about their strategy being just try and sign someone and hope they fix it. But when they haven't got those guys, and realistically I don't think...

I'd say that's fair. And I'd add to it that this current management regime doesn't seem to have had a coherent plan in place. They got the team to a certain point and now it seems to be a case of "shit, let's try and sign whoever the biggest free agent is and hope it works out" each year rather...

Why can this not be a 1pm ET face off. Nobody wants a Sunday evening game. (I know the fact both played last night is probably why, I just wanted a selfish suitable uk face off time)

Should ditch Finland for the next one and replace them with Russia

I believe those wings are built here in Belfast. In a factory right beside where they built the Titanic 😃 But jokes aside, it seems to be a design decision https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/us/aircraft-safety-toronto-plane-crash/index.html

We’ll give Ohtani a billion dollars… but not Vlad half of that.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/IJt2JrLEOU Really weird accident.

Can’t wait to see Vlad Jr win multiple World Series for the Yankees in big finals against the Ohtani Dodgers And think how we came *SO* close to signing them all

Don’t think it’s meant to be that way up Thankfully sounds like everyone has survived and actually minimal injuries also

I dunno, Nylander was nowhere to be seen when it mattered and Tavares didn’t show

I wrote my previous post before I read this one. I fully agree with this. Why should you have to have different styles of play for the same sport. Call the penalties that are penalties. It's like we updated and modernised regular season hockey by eradicating the clutch and grab awfulness but...

The one thing the Leafs had going for them was the ability to overwhelm teams with offence. I get that it hadn't worked (as yet) but who's to say it wasn't going to work at some point. So actively choosing to suppress that one good trait is certainly a choice. And the Leafs are a dire team...

Yup, that's a fair argument. And even on a lot of occasions you could see why the moves were made at the time. Indeed half the time it was exactly the kind of moves people were crying out for. But "completely messed up the team" is utter bullshit hyperbole and over-reactive nonsense.

No no. Putting up some of the best seasons in the 100+ year history of the Leafs prove he completely messed up the team. It’s so obvious. I can’t work out how you can’t see it.

lol it’s freezing in there during the summer. Air temperature tonight is about -1 and we actually have a fresh, new weather warning for ice and snow tonight to follow on from the storm. It’s only a “yellow” alert, which is basically take a bit of precaution in comparison to the red don’t do a...

Yeah, personally not too bad around our way, thanks for asking. Lots of (very big, old) trees down locally and we had a power line come down near a petrol station but thankfully didn’t do any serious damage. I genuinely don’t remember anything like it, I’ve never heard wind like it. The sound...

I remember a few years ago being in the Bell Centre in Montreal and everyone’s phones went mad beeping and mine joined in and I hadn’t a clue what it was then it turned out to be some kind of public police alert about a potential kidnapping. I never forgot the shrieking noise the phone made...

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6082577/2025/01/22/auston-matthews-ryan-reaves-fight-comments-maple-leafs/ Or maybe staged meaningless pointless fights that don’t have anything to do with anything that’s happened in the game don’t excite anyone any more? And it’s not like the ACC doesn’t...
