Kraken vs. Leafs - Jan. 29th, 10:00pm - SN

Well, Nick Robertson cares. Nick Robertson drives the net. Nick Robertson sets up Macceli for a nothingburger.

But Nick Robertson gets 11 seconds of PP time.

Nick Robertson is playing like he wants to be traded.

It’s over!

Another Rielly special to start the game.

Tossing grenades since 2013!

Stolarz swagger is gone. I don’t know WTF can be done. We were close just last year. Tanev is clearly our MVP, we suck without him.

What's his cell number? It's time he heard from me.

You could try
1-800-Tres-Bad
or
1-800-DNR-Leaf

Too late for 911

If he looks at the standings, they're 2nd last in the East needing .784 hockey to pass Boston for the final wild card spot.
Treliving is probably delaying the inevitable by feeding him magic numbers ...

Meanwhile, some players are probably evaluating augmenting trade destinations ...

Good thing he's got a 4 year extension that hasn't even kicked in yet.

Another unforced Treliving error.

That's kind of a crazy comment. League's best save percentage last season.

That's kind of a crazy comment. League's best save percentage last season.

He's never played more than 34 games in a season and has a very clear injury history and still had a year left on his contract. There's no justification or rush to give him 4 years.

Do we think that from ages 33-37 he's going to have less injuries? And somehow play 40-50 games a season?

So there's nothing crazy about what I'm saying.

As painful as it is... we're cheering for losses now. So good job team.

Everyone has left the Leafs for dead. Pressure is off. I'm sure they will look good in this one. Leafs win big tonight. Place your bets.

Or maybe not.

And it's even more annoying considering we want to root for losses but we're reliving the Kessel trade nightmare, just instead of the 2nd OA pick, it'll be 6th.

I'm fully expecting us to finish bottom-5 but get bounced out of that pick with someone winning the lottery.

I don't agree with people who say you can't change GMs mid-season. I can't believe you can't find a guy to placehold as interim GM with the shortest of leashes to make deadline deals. If Pelley is running the show, let's get on with the re-build.

I don't think the team can be re-tooled. Too many flaws.
