Well, I started the 2025 season thread on the back of some signings and rumours in early December, so, probably time to do the same for 2026… Cease and Pince already signed. Bieber taking up his option, and a pretty decent looking start to building out the rotation. Rumours, seemingly...

Which team? 😀

I can’t see them making any change mid road trip. Not to say they shouldn’t. But GM and coach go at the same time imo.

They were winning when I went to sleep…

I’m not. I’m going to sleep. Night all 😴

10 (mostly weak) shots after 35 minutes. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!

Can that not be waved off? Distinct kicking motion by Rielly.

I was going to say I’ve actually little to no idea how the Leafs are winning this game but actually I do think a big chunk of the reason has the number 60 on the back of his jersey. That and a very premature whistle from a ref after 10 seconds.

NHL need to work on their scheduling. There’s currently 10 games off. 7 of them faced off at 4pm. 2 of them at 5pm. So they’ve all been in intermissions at the same time. Stagger half of them to 4.30 or something so there’s live action to flick to during the period breaks of other games.

It’s like the hockey equivalent of the Ali tactics in the rumble in the jungle. Just sit passively on the ropes and take the punishment til the opposition burn themselves out. And then strike!

Maybe it’s the old lull the opposition defence and goalie to sleep from severe underwork so when you do do something attacking it’s such a surprise it leads to a shock goal tactic. Almost worked when the goalie did nothing for 10 minutes then *BOOM* breakaway out of nowhere

Being outshot 9-1 half way into the first period. Play obviously tilted toward the Leafs goal.

Yes 100% agree on 34 over 88. My only caveat on 34 is if he’s completely broken, irreparably so.

I was thinking this when they put the lineup on the screen before the game. How have they massacred the roster so badly so quickly. Like who on the lineup would you want to keep/watch. As you say, Cowan and Knies I’d keep. Enjoying watching them. I keep Matthews in the hope he frees up and...

lol. Out of jail free card played there.

Oooh an early start so I can watch! But do I really want to? 🤣

It’s one of my favourite things in the whole of hockey. Fire a cannon every time they score a goal. Bizarre.

I just think the alleged Department of Player Safety is utterly incompetent. I mean, putting people like Parros in charge of it… I do agree that there can be a fair argument made of a hint of unconscious bias against the Leafs. But I also think we can also have slightly more conscious bias to...

I’m well and truly in the “don’t let Treliving do any more damage by making more trades to try and wring the last bit of life out of the already lifeless corpse that is the current mishmash of this hotch potch identity-less roster”. Any more changes to try and paper over the various failures...

I think this is where I am. I just don't think this combination is the right one for this team. I don't think the team is well built. And I don't think the coach is correct for the personnel that are on board. And there's no real way to remake the roster any more for this coach. Plus not many...
