Luck of the Irish etc etc

Lines and lineup decisions are crap. But I love the shirts ☘️

Guys, no need to worry. My football team have just won their first trophy since many years before I was born. Book the Leafs to do the same now 👍🏼

Let’s play a little game. Say the Leafs had retained Keefe. And built this same roster. Including the same moves at the deadline. Would the Leafs be higher or lower in the standings? I’d have them down as a good chance at the Presidents Trophy. I’ve still no idea how they’ll fare in the...

He was brilliant. As was a lot of that team. In some ways I kind of miss the almost Wild West style of hockey of those days. But at the same time, the levels of skill on show now are just mind bogglingly good and on a whole other level of entertainment. I also miss Lalime.

I find it hard to be over critical of him at this point. He’s been by a mile the best leaf I’ve seen over the last few seasons. I’m inclined based on that to give him the benefit of the doubt for one poor season and anticipate him having some kind of surgery or announce,ent over the summer...

Started very well, fell away a bit, undone by a dreadful call

I suppose the game had gone for ages with no penalty so the refs had to get involved somehow

My hope is that Laughton’s arrival will allow Domi to be given more appropriate assignments and probably a bit less ice time, which will hopefully put him in better positions to succeed and provide positive input. I felt he was being hung out to dry a bit and asked to fill roles that weren’t...

Someone put some spice on Domi’s pre game lunch

What a Willy pass

I guess in an 82 game season in a way it doesn’t *matter* to have one or two game of players basically winging it. I just think of the football (soccer) example where a player is signed they usually don’t play the next day. Plenty of examples of them not playing for a week or two even while the...

I’m in broad agreement and would say that it’s potentially the right players but the wrong time? Hopefully as alluded to in my last post they just kind of got shunted into existing spots cos there wasn’t much training time. Now they’ve had time maybe Berube will see options to move away from...

Two games, one of which they arrived on the day having never even met the team. I actually dunno why they got put into that game. Should have flown out and trained with the team on the road trip or possibly even to Toronto and had tonight as their first game. Seems to be a hockey thing.

Matthews, Marner, Rantanen, Nylander, Tavares, McDavid. That would have been a fun lineup in a couple of years even with no prospects or picks left 😂 Hope we can get someone else in place of Rantanen. Maybe we can coax Draisatl over this year to warm McDavid’s seat up.

I think they’ve done a decent job. I actually think hanging onto Robertson and Domi while having a much better 3c option will allow them to both be better deployed. Hopefully this particularly applies to Domi who I think could still be a positive asset in the right role. Robertson has shown...

I tend to avoid the score and put on the extended highlights first thing. I even turned the highlights off at 3-0 cos I could tell how this was going

Sundin never won it, but I still remember lots of things he did - especially the hat trick to get to 500 goals. But he also had playoff moments - the Carolina extra skater game 5 (or was it 6?) last minute elimination staving goal. I take your point, but there’s so much more to winning the...
