How is Jett Woo looking? obviously the stats are very impressive, but I don't get to see any of the games, so just wondering how he's progressing?

Like the Leafs?? So you want to miss the playoffs for 10 of 11 seasons before winning the draft lottery and having a hometown superstar return home? Seems like a pretty solid blueprint, sign me up!
The Shanny plan was put in place what 6 years ago? They sold off disposable assets for picks and drafted high for three years got lucky with mathews kind of like we did with our franchise player to build around , EP
They have a good young Lhd , but a big hole on rhd kind of like us except we have Tanev and the got Zaitsev
They signed a 27 yr old franchise forward .
Shanny plan seems to have worked so far.

They haven't won a playoff round yet, have a 3 point player signed to $7 million AAV, and have Marleau signed for $6 million past this season. Add in that Anderson isn't a goalie you bank a deep cup run on and they may have to shed significant depth to sign Matthews and Marner and they could easily end up a cautionary tale on counting your cups before you've won anything.

Couldn't agree more. The TO-center of the universe has anointed the Leafs the Cup champs in waiting. But there's a serious cap-crunch looming with Marner and Matthews, and the Tavares contract has the potential to be an albatross moving forward.

Should have traded Nylander when they had the chance. They still have holes on the blueline and a decided lack of grit up front. The playoffs are still about 'heavy hockey' and the Leafs lack 'heaviness' everywhere. And Anderson seems to be injury-prone and an unproven goalie in the post-season.

Planning the parade route is totally premature imo.

It's a close race between the Canucks' two over-age, right-shot, OHL d-men:

Matt Brassard: 38 gp -- 9/22/31 .79 pts/g (11th in OHL d-men scoring) (6'3" 205) (7th round pick, unsigned)

Mitch Eliot: 43 gp -- 10/24/34 .82 pts/g (5th in OHL d-men scoring) (6', 190) (FA signed to an ELC)

Got the height and weight matched up wrongly. Only wish Eliot was that big.

They may not win cups but they are like us a few years ago on top of the hockey world or at least a serious vontender and as I remember those times they were pretty fun
If they have cap problems they just sell off Willie and they still got a syrong team.
Marleau can be dumped gor picks if need be but if they got troubles it would be good trouble.
Having too much talent to fit under the cap is not neccessary a bad thing.

Nah, they aren't even close to 2011 good. They have too many issues on defense and in goal to make deep runs. They're the WCE era Canucks, fun but no threat to win the cup.

You're underrating Andersen. He is atleast a top 5 goalie in the league.

So was Cloutier in 03-04 and Luongo in 10-11, how did those stories end again? Also, remind me again how Andersen looked in the postseason compared to the regular season last year? The word disaster comes to mind. He's not a goalie who can elevate his play in the postseason, a problem that seems common to the Leafs entire roster. A problem common to the WCER era Canucks.

Yeah let's completely ignore Andersen strong performance in the 2016 & 2017 playoffs. He had his downs against Boston in 2018, but it sure didn't help playing behind a shitty defense.

His 16-17 run wasn't any elevation of his regular season numbers either. Just because he didn't crumble doesn't mean he was some playoff beast. You want a goalie that goes from 0.918 reg to 0.925 in the playoffs, not one that plays slightly worse.

Dan Cloutier was never a top-15 goalie, much less top-5.

And Luongo took us 1 game from a Cup.

Clouts was top 10 in GAA and Sv% in 03-04, he actually improved his SV% each year until he broke mentally in the 03-04 playoff run.

As for Luongo, I love him for what he did here, but every postseason you were wondering if you were going to get Jeykll or Hide in net. I feel the same about Andersen after last season's run.
