I was distressed by that contract too. He's a NHL player but not a $2.4 mil/yr center. Pagnotta was kicking around the Leafs holding out for more assets. This situation doesn't help the Leafs bargaining position beyond free advertising of his availability. All NHL teams could have had him off...

There were about five teams in the top 16 in pts win% after Leafs had played 14 games last year that didn't make the playoffs. You look at Cup odds for this season and the first 14 teams the Leafs played are not regarded as a lot of playoff contenders with only one in the top 10. Against that...

I'm a Leafs fan. I truly hope so. I need to see a lot more before I'll get very excited about their playoff chances. It is still early. By games 20-25, I think we'll have a better idea.

10 home games vs 7 home games last year 2 playoff teams vs 6 playoff teams last year. I don't think they're as good a team as last year. Still early.

I haven't followed baseball as much since the strike in the 90s. So maybe I'm missing one/some but that was about as tough a loss as I think I've ever seen. So close.

Sportsnet: Maple Leafs' Kampf wrestles with future in Toronto He did not go with the Marlies on their road trip - maybe to help pressure a trade. He cleared waivers at the start of the season which should have told him nobody wants him with his current contract.

If there is numbness or tingling, it is a red flag and medical staff are supposed to carefully stabilize the head and neck from further movement until the person can be medically evaluated - regardless of the sport or non-sport situation like an accident. Numbness or tingling can also be a...

He's had some concussion history before this season. To have that happen the first game back from a concussion in the Devils game probably means he is going to be out for a long stretch

And about 600 other NHLers

Marner was in on 38% of the goals last season. 61% of the PP goals. Over 50% of the PP goals over the last number of years have Marner on the scoresheet. PP has been dismal this season. It is hard to ignore the probability or possibility that some of the problem with the PP relates to the void...

I'm increasingly suspicious of his back

"It’s hard to untangle all the varying factors. It might just be a little bit of everything." I'm kind of there. I think Marner and injury are the bigger factors.

I bet things like this don't help: "Since February 1st, 2025, Matthews is 250th in the NHL in goals per 60 minutes at 5v5, tallying just six goals at 5v5 over that span" We're seeing clues like that throughout his stats. It reinforces what we're seeing with our eyes. Matthews has not been the...

Maybe they need some time to develop chemistry - as has been generally stated by Berube so many times this season. The odd part about Robertson-Matthews-McMann is that they're all shooters first and they're all left handed But they're all pretty good on their skates

As I mentioned, he wasn't invisible with Marner last year. Maybe there is a pattern: Nylander, McMann & Marner were the three fastest forwards last year. Domi is not far behind. Maybe having linemates with speed helps him.

He did pretty well with Tavares and Marner last year He's 2nd on the team in hits so when he's not scoring he is helping that way. His skating speed is 92 percentile in the league - one of the fastest on a slowish team. His shot blocking has improved a bit. He's still making a good effort in...

They're tied with their worst start after 11 games (.500 pts win%) since 2016 GAA of 3.82 is 4th worst in the league. Their PP is 4th worst in the league at 13.8%. Net PP% of 6.9 is the worst in the league Matthews seems like a shell of himself. Obviously, they don't look very good so lack of...
