That’s not an unfair comment, and his playoff numbers are unreal. But why does he get a pass for have 0 goals and 1 point in 7 games in the finals last season. Because he was playing injured? That’s ok for non leafs players?

It’s crazy how they are quite literally reenacting VEEP. That show isn’t satire anymore.

It’s not so much a fear but more of an inevitability.

I forgot about Tanev’s contract when I wrote that…. But yeah, that’s true.

Yeah that’s true. I know I’m coming across like a conspiracy theory nut, but I guess I’m just frustrated that the leafs don’t really play dirty when they can.

This is a great post. But is it an anomaly though? Haven’t all the cup winners recently been over the cap? TB wore freaking T-shirts to commemorate that accomplishment.

You are absolutely correct. But I’m convinced had the leafs done this, somehow it would result in a fine or a change in rules. I bet you’re going to see a change in contract rules if the leafs give out a Gourde type contract this year or a penalty against the leafs or some kind of consequence.

Well maybe. It does feel at times there’s a different set of rules for different teams. But it just doesn’t make sense that this league loves to make its best players irrelevant in the post season and then get excited for players like Claude Lemieux for 5 weeks.

The NHL is literally the only professional sports league where rules and style of play are completely different from regular season to playoffs. It’s ridiculous. Could you imagine in baseball if the umpires just decided to call a completely different game in the playoffs? All of a sudden foul...

I love Kadri as much as anyone and would love to have him back, but I think people forget that he and Tavares are the same age.

what an interesting point to bring up for the billionth time.

Losing that series to mtl was inexcusable, but no one ever mentions that they went 8-2 to get to the finals against Winnipeg and Vegas before coming back to earth. But I’ll never back down from this, Tampa can shove their covid cups up their ass.

The Muskoka five moniker pisses me off to no end. The way they treated Sundin was pure garbage. If you’ll recall they weren’t far out of the playoffs and sundin said that his place is here as captain to help the team make the playoffs. It’s not his fault that JFJ fucked up the team. It was...

Maybe he just doesn’t want to be here anymore. Personally, as someone who worked in a toxic environment, the best decision I ever made was to leave there. Put aside the money Marner has made over his career, and think of him as a human for a minute. Since day 1 he hasn’t really been embraced by...

There was a post here about ‘games 5-7’ and I looked it up and both Matthews and marner’s stats are terrible in those games (Marner has 0 goals). This is no defence of Marner, but if you look at a bunch of players in that context, you’d be surprised how many big time players don’t have that...

I forgot about the Florida or nowhere bit.

It was very clearly an outlier year. Just like Kadri’s last Avs season.

Sure. But he wasn’t a UFA, I’m convinced he could have gotten more back from some other team, and no one forced Treliving to immediately give Huberdeau that horrible contract.

That was a garbage trade for Calgary at the time and done by none other than the amazing GM the leafs have now.

That they should hide players in LTIR and hope for a drug suspension vacation?
