Very nice review of Danford by his coach, Jay McKee starts at 6:09 As I'm sure many will recall, Jay was pretty darn good in his day. McKee says Danford remind him of himself He's not surprised at all at how well he is doing in the AHL

Messier on Leafs Depth Issues Messier also compared Marner's awareness on the ice to Gretzky's when he quickly flagged the Canes with too many men on the ice. (I don't think that was a really special moment except Messier saying it) I was pulling for McMann to go from the scrap heap to a NHL...

I don't buy that for a second. Look at his career in 'pressure' situations: U18 (gold) & U20 he led his team in scoring for Canada. London Knights - led his team in playoff scoring his last 2 seasons there - won Championship Memorial Cup - 2nd highest points tally in history on his way to...

Nope I have never met him. Have absolutely nothing to do with him, his family or anyone who knows him. I wouldn't buy his sweater or any memorabilia to do with him. etc. I don't go for that stuff. I didn't even want them to draft him. I just cited pure facts above. I think the franchise I cheer...

It is that kind of thinking that got a 4th line center in return for his talent. In the Cup final, Marner has: 8 pts in 5 games = 1.60ppg He's been in on 44.4% of his teams goals which leads both teams If Marner didn't do that, the finals would already be over. Leafs have been around for over...

I think so too. The UFA market again is not great. There are maybe a few more 'attractive' top 4 dmen proportionately compared with the forwards. In this market with seemingly lots of cap space, it will be interesting to see how much the Oilers have to eat to move him. A year from now...

Thanks. That gave me a clue. I'll keep an eye on the BB code

TSN: Pavelski confirms he’s interviewing for Leafs job So that's a little more official ...

SPORTSNET: Scout's Analysis: Looking at Artur Akhtyamov ahead of Calder Cup Finals To me, no position has changed in hockey more than goaltending. I'm still having a tough time getting a better read on NHL goalies. It seems less predictable than it once was. Marlies are lucky to have a couple...

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/49032541/darnell-nurse-gives-oilers-short-list-trade-options From what I have read, Bowman asked him to lift his NMC last year. He declined Next year, his deal shifts to a 10 team no trade list so this is the last year he has much control over his destiny...

If I'm quoting something "It's not every post of yours, it's only random ones." I might give something a red color for emphasis as above But that is all I am aware of and I do not do that often

I posted about this before https://tmltoday.com/community/threads/wcf-vegas-golden-knights-vs-colorado-avalanche.7380/post-544391 Cassidy's NHL roster got hammered with problems They started to get corrected at the deadline but they did not all get put into place until after the playoffs started...

I wasn't aware I was posting 'dark text' It looks normal to me

Tortorella has touted his team as a group that already knows how to win and what they have to do - downplaying Tortorella's role. From that, there has been a fair amount of chatter in the media giving Cassidy credit for that quality in the team Tortorella inherited. McPhee strikes me as sort of...

That doesn't surprise me The musical chairs music for coaches is about to stop. With bully Babcock earmarked for Edmonton or the NHLPA, Toronto may be the only open seat left if Cassidy wants to coach in October. He's getting paid regardless. Often, there's a scramble to get the best coach. The...

With them floundering down to 28th, they should be able to land more "found wallets" because those fringe guys have a decent chance to crack the roster compared with a roster 4th in pts win%. They're ok in goal and if they add one decent UFA, their D is probably ok for next season. Forwards are...

I've seen Tverberg before, Like you, I like him. He's been a little up and down and I have been up and down with him :) Not sure why. I'm interested to see the updated version as he seems to have been playing better again of late. Danford I've never seen live. From what I've seen of him in...

And the Leafs have their own 2nd round 2027 pick That seems like the best idea I've seen so far.

I'm pretty close to: do not trade any young players, picks or prospects unless you get young players, picks and prospects back Get what they can on the UFA market and call it a day They have excess goaltending - could flip Stolarz or Woll for some help. They should be able to shore up the D...
