for anyone curious about dave keon and his rift with the leafs. on wiki

into the 1974–75 season, Ballard publicly blasted Keon, saying that the team was not getting good leadership from its captain and vowing never again to agree to a no-trade clause in a contract, as he had with Keon. When Keon's contract expired at the end of the season, Ballard made it clear that there was no place for him on the Leafs. The Leafs believed they had some strong young prospects at centre who needed more ice time, and Keon was again asking for a contract with a no-trade clause. The 35-year-old Keon was told he could make his own deal with another NHL team, but any club signing him would have been required to provide compensation to the Leafs. Ballard set the compensation price so high that other teams shied away from signing him, even though the Leafs had no intention of keeping him. In effect, Ballard had blocked Keon from going to another NHL team

Can't believe I'm saying this as a Ranger fan.. but the Devils look really good. And Schneider should be a Vezina contender. It's obviously Holtby's at this point, but the Devils are going to be in playoff contention because of him and surprising offensive depth. They are bringing the heat on the forecheck right now.

I don't think anyone saw the Devils playing at this level this season.

I'm happy for them, they deserve it.

The Leafs crowd is knowledgeable because they can count shots on goal?

Go away, CBC.

Yeah, the Leafs look like **** at the moment, and it's no surprise their goal scoring rate has hit rock bottom ever since JVR got injured.

Habs are pretty lucky with the upcoming schedule. Bunch of weak, bottom 10 teams up until Price comes back.

Smart by Reimer to not move and even block the overhead cam with his glove, since that was probably in the net.
