Naaaaaahh.. 10th time the charm!

I only say it because we don't have an award for top forward chosen in the same way the top goalie and top defenseman are chosen. Seems like a Gary problem.

Let's go! The guy that signed for almost the same cap hit as Matthews for 8 years, compared to Matthews' 4-year contract, just scored his 4th OT goal of this playoffs! Just a little factoid that I thought was interesting.

Hellebuyck takes the Hart! Honestly, I don't like a goalie getting the Vezina and the Hart. I feel like maybe a goalie shouldn't be eligible for the Hart?

Yes, I was going to say Tanev and hopefully JT too.

Matthews was the ultimate LTIR candidate this year. He may have had a better playoff if he had a break and we could of added salary at the deadline.

A bit of a Mic drop article for me. The value relative to his peers has not been there.

The first period of every final game has had zero flow due to the parade to the box. I have no idea what "standard" the refs will have from one moment to the next. The lack of protection for goalies and the wildly inconsistent refereeing have me wondering what the hell the NHL is doing. It's...

Beat you up mentally, physically, and on the scoreboard. Any further info about why McDavid left to the dressing room briefly? He looked okay.

How is it that only the Leafs screwed this up?

Why we still talking about bottom 6 scoring then for the billionth time?

Brown, Hyman, and Bunting were all core 4 cap casualties. You cannot have a supporting cast paying four forwards $+11M. I don't know why anyone would expect anything more than what the Leafs are getting from their bottom 6.

I wish the league would at least pretend to protect the goalies. EDM even got a penalty for cross-checking the guy who just slashed the goalie. It's ridiculous. Cap circumventing dirty rats/scum bags.

Apparently, we hired Uncle Fester, aka Derek Lalonde.

I would love a coach who wasn't afraid to bench one of our core players in an elimination game if they were playing terribly and had a history of playing poorly in such situations. EDIT: I thought you were speculating, but he is indeed fired.

I don't think Berube is looking for a puck-moving defenseman. We have that in Reilly, and he doesn't allow Reilly to do it, so what are we talking about? Did Berube or Trev say they want a puck-moving defenseman?

Refs call everything in the first period and then call nothing the rest of the game? Why is that? Also, puck over the glass in OT is a ridiculous end to a Stanley Cup Final game, considering how subjective refs are for everything else. Head shots good, puck over the glass, game over. I'm getting...

Accidentally fall on purpose into the goalie after two goalie head shots already delivered by the same guy, and... you get two goals! Hitting goalies according to the NHL (y)

As a Dubas hire, I assume it's a terrible decision...

Just wait and see, nothing I have seen or read is anything but speculation. A guy that can't get it done when it matters is not worth +12M to a "contending" team, no matter how you spin it.
