That was a well played game. Some real good things happening. The team is going in the right direction IMO. Pros: McMann looked real good. Rielly continues to look excellent. Matthews had lots of chances. Cowan looked pretty good. Cons: While they had some puck time, Nylander/Tavares are...

McMann Rielly

I agree. The team was overly aggressive at the plate. I'd think two things contribute to that. The magnitude of the game driving up their adrenaline. Second, the 1st pitch home run by Springer, while great, only heightens that adrenaline which gave everyone an itchy trigger finger. The other...

Definitely. Stop sitting on your hands waiting for someone else to fix the problem.

Rielly Tavares The two guys we keep trying to write off.

When you lose skill as the Leafs have done, the only way to counteract that is by upping intensity and forechecking. If they can, this team will be fine. If they can't, the removal of skill will really show.

Pedro, who's your daddy?!?!

And now they get Ekholm for 4m a year https://ca.yahoo.com/news/unreal-hockey-world-reacts-oilers-154826103.html

At least it starts at 7 so my old a$$ won't have to fight off sleep.

Kyle Connor extended: 8y x 12m https://ca.yahoo.com/sports/news/winnipeg-jets-sign-star-kyle-141353716.html

That game felt very Maple Leaf, game 3 vs Florida like. The team comes out hot, puts up a lot of points and collapses. What is it with the water in Toronto?

Jake Walman - 7 year, 49m extension Team friendly deal? McDavid's deal already helping the team? https://ca.yahoo.com/news/edmonton-oilers-ink-jake-walman-185804350.html

Considering they both expire at the end of this year, perhaps that was his caveat. Are there any names coming up at the end of this year? Bobrovsky?

What am I missing in Sammy Blais? I mean other than the coach knows him, and he saves the team some money, what is he bringing to the table?

You have to think this came with some conditions from McDavid. This isn't exactly verbatim, but I assume it goes like this.... "I'm giving you two more years. If you don't go and find a real starting goalie, I'm fkn out. Consider yourself on the clock"

Knies - Matthews - Maccelli McMann - Tavares - Nylander Joshua - Domi - Robertson Lorentz - Roy - Jarnkrok That's not far off how I would run it. I'd actually Move Roy between Domi and Robertson and Kampf in the middle of Joshua and Lorentz..but what do I know. That said, Roy and Joshua IMO...

I think depending on how much you see of him in game 3, Varland will see a chunk of game 4.

I think McDavid takes a lower number than expected but shorter term.

Stolarz was fantastic. Team was hot garbage.

I mean, at least until his first highlight reel, no-look pass
