Rielly looked motivated. A return to form for him would be awesome. Jarnkrok. I never lost faith.

Sorry for bringing up Marner, but I'm just getting caught up. I believe it was disastrous for him to leave. How can it not be? He was a phenomenal talent, the likes of which this team likely won't see for a very long time. His leaving makes this team worse. However, life moves on. They've...

Draisaitl is an absolute bargain.

Well, the thing is that's not completely accurate. Other analgesics, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen -- while also relatively safe -- can pose greater risks than tylenol. Additionally, untreated fevers create even higher risks during pregnancy. The messaging should be: "while there is a...

29 minutes well spent.

Why is McDavid "coming home" comical? Why would McDavid care if the cupboard is pretty bare? A team with McDavid, Matthews, Nylander, Tavares seems fairly attractive. Matthews and Nylander -- at 27/28 years old -- aren't exactly on death's doorstop.

That's amazing. :) Also, i'm never wearing that jersey number.

It was pretty shitty to give Matthews bonuses and not Marner. There really can't be any debate about that.

No, it doesn't mean that. There are too many variables and Marner was clearly not the reason the Leafs didn't advance. That is, he didn't cause losses through dumb plays, etc. I know what you're saying; the void he leaves can't be filled unless the void is first there (Marner gone.) And what...

My apologies, I was unclear. I was responding to this: "Talent out the door, yes; I have a different opinion on the level of utility being lost here, but still there is a loss nonetheless. To say it's the best Leaf player being lost for virtually nothing is a stretch, though; maybe you are...

So, outside of Sundin, who would even come close to Marner? I don't know how anyone can think this makes the Leafs a better team. "all that off-ice stuff?" More players feel important? Serious? Who cares about space and opportunity when you have one of the most talented players in the league...

I'd be shocked if he doesn't hit 95+ points again. He's not propped up or insulated. He's a phenomenal player who will put up massive points anywhere he plays.

That is utter nonsense. His level of talent is relevant to any game of hockey, playoffs or otherwise. The second part, I can support. i think he's a goner. I really wish he'd be re-signed though.

Beautifully written. :)
