At least Futa isn't on the list. That guy has to have dirt on the league to keep getting interviews and being included in GM searches.

I think he's been linked in one way or the other to every opening GM position for about the last 10 years. He's either got dirt or is a super nice guy that people feel obligated to give an interview too lol

Former Maple Leaf and Team Canada hero Justin Pogge retiring, craves 'new chapter'

Pogge is mostly remembered for his 2006 world juniors heroics and being a top Maple Leafs prospect.

BUDAPEST — The first thing you notice are the flecks of grey in the stubble around Justin Pogge’s chin.

For many hockey fans, the image they have of Pogge is frozen in time. They recall him as the fresh-faced teenager who backstopped Team Canada to a gold medal on home ice the 2006 world juniors in Vancouver.

But as Pogge steps off the ice at the MVM Arena in Budapest, that gangly teenager now occupies the body of a 37-year-old man who is ready to transition to a new line of work.

As he’s called over to the side for an interview with The Athletic, Pogge cannot fathom why a media person would want to speak to him.

“Who on earth would want to talk to me?” Pogge asks incredulously.

There was a point in time when Pogge was the centre of attention in Canada, with dozens of reporters in his face. He is the poster boy for the fleeting fame that can be associated with the world juniors. For two straight weeks around the Christmas holidays in December of 2005, Pogge was a household name in Canada. But nearly two decades later, inside an empty arena in Budapest, Pogge very quietly confirms that he’s ready announce his retirement as an active goaltender.

“I was trying to slide under the radar. It’s not that I can’t play anymore. But it’s time for me to take advantage to take an unbelievable opportunity,” says Pogge. “It’s time for a new chapter.”

Being named to another Team Canada squad was the catalyst for Pogge to launch his new career.

..............

One of those goalies he mentored in Beijing — Devon Levi — is reunited with Pogge at this year’s men’s IIHF World Championship. Pogge now has landed the job of goaltending coach for Team Canada at this tournament, after showing what he could do in Beijing. He then served as the official goalie coach for Team Canada at the U18 championships in Switzerland last month, before joining Team Canada in that same capacity for this year’s IIHF World Championship.

Ah...the goalie that made Rask expendable and then made us and I still get haunted about the trade we did.

Why are some Leaf fans so invested in the fate of Arizona?
Genuinely curious, I could care less what happens to them.

I think it has to do with Arizona's effect on the league as a whole (most notably HRR) as opposed to just independently as a Leaf fan.

But also, for me, I want to see that franchise rot and finally die. Countless opportunities to make inroads, yet nearly three decades later it has regressed massively (5K arena...seriously...?!). Don't know why that market has been afforded so much runway while others were quick to move -- I bet Atlanta fans would have loved for Bettman to have gone to bat for them the way he has for the Coyotes.

Some Leaf fans are more than just Leaf fans but NHL fans as well? This is the "around the league" thread not the "NHL news that affects the Leafs only" thread.

It's great that you don't care though.

Strange reply . Are questions no longer welcome?

Go Canes Go.

I hate the Canes because of the 2002 playoffs but it is definitely getting harder when I see how awesome their PR and marketing is.

Plus they play a good team game

They’re one of my “local” broadcast teams so I’ve been a follwer of them for a few years. They are fun.
