So trade Nylander to Arizona?bustaheims said:Just because early-in-the-season-silly-stats are fun:
The entire Arizona Coyotes roster has 19 points so far this season.
Auston Matthews has 16.
But, before last night, the entire Coyotes roster had a total of 9 points.
The Leafs have 4 players with 10 or more.

I would do that job if it got me on the ice with Leafs. Wouldn't need to pull that creepy thing around.Bullfrog said:herman said:https://twitter.com/kristen_shilton/status/1054746256256520192

Sparks sounds like a crazy person.

Certainly explains the pre-season and first game jitters.
Frank E said:A multi-billion dollar league is implementing untested changes to safety equipment for the most vulnerable players on the ice. If Sparks assertions are true, this is bananas.
"I'm getting bruised like crazy on my arms. I think that's the biggest issue, they take away padding in the arms. It seems like every shot that you take that's not clean on your blocker or in your glove, it's leaving a mark," Philadelphia Flyers goalie Brian Elliott told the Courier Post earlier this season. "They wanted more 'formfitting,' but when you have more formfitting there's no give. There's no air between you and your pads, so the puck is hitting your pad and at the same time it's hitting your bones and your flesh so there's no cushion."
The results have been painful. "I've never had the bruises on my arms [before], but now it feels like every other shot goes there. If it goes there, it's going to be sore," Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky told the Columbus Dispatch. "You start to be afraid of pucks, actually, especially in the practices. You get bruises in [the arms]. It's terrible."

Lots of goalies have spoken out about this. The lack of time they gave goalies/equipment manufacturers to adjust to this is nuts.
This is the ESPN article that the Sportsnet one mentioned where other goalies talk about the same issues: http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25025926/goaltenders-say-reduction-size-chest-protectors-leading-more-pain
