Another Broons loss

Well there's always a way to belittle a Leaf accomplishment hey if the Leafs manage to win the division this year, anyone can say "well the bruins, bolts and panthers just aren't as good as they used to be" so hooray for you, you did what so many do - belittle any Leaf victory. We won our division in 2021, that is a fact, any other comment on the matter is opinion, stupid or smart. I stick with facts, we won the division and lost in the first round to a team serveral points in the standings below us. That crap team made the finals that year but failed to make the playoff since then and will likely miss the playoffs yet again this year. While the Leafs continue to make the playoffs and fail to get out of the first round. Still I would rather make the playoffs than not and I apperciate every playoff appearance brcause I have a memory of the post lock out years, which apparently a lot of Leaf fans can't remember

Winning the Divison or even the Conf, heck even the President Trophy means little if you get bounced in the first round by a team you dominated in the regular season, while also being the worst team to make the playoffs and lastly while leading the series 3-1.

Okay...

He looks like a fully cromulent 2nd pair LHD and all, and rising cap and all of that.

But he's 28, what has Marcus Pettersson done to earn that kind of term?

They must know something we don't.

If he was 24-25 I'd get it and say ah salud...

But look at what we pay OEL, who is older but a cup winner, Norris also-ran a few years.

And they're probably going to trade Boeser. What is the plan over there?

At least Rielly isn't Nurse.

Nurse being unable to make a decision with the puck just caused the Oilers to go into overtime, where they won with a PP goal.

All Nurse had to do was pass the puck out of his zone, but instead he just kept messing up in his own zone until they get scored on. Had several opportunities to get it out of the zone.

Brutal contract there.
