I blame Mitch Marner.

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
The surging Ottawa sens are taking over. They are looking to grab that 2nd seed in the Atlantic division.
With every hope of playing the Leafs. But it would likely be the Leafs bumped down to play Florida if teams continue their ways.
Oop here is this thread I was looking for this in teh pinned thread LOL
Great save from last night
Great save from last night
Draisaitl has to be the Hart winner, right? Dude is on an island because most of his team has been ass
And the Stars have an Oettinger problem. Can't stop a beach ball on the road.

A lot of good teams struggling now. The Oilers haven't been the same since the 4 Nations break. The Stars are in a bit of a slump as well after their huge acquisition.
McDavid 2 goals in 11 games since the High.
About a 15 goal pace?
Draisaitl 9 goals in 11 games, 67 goal pace.
Draisaitl is an absolute monster. I think he is one of the few players on McDavid's level and it just so happens they are teammates. Wish our guys played with his sort of determination.
And he has played a ton of minutes with offensive black holes like Podkolzin, Arvidsson, and Kapanen
What ever happened to the Nylander fanboy that said he was leetching off McDavid and Nylander was better?
Almost as dumb as the poster who claimed "Bennett was bad at hockey" when the Flames put him on the trade block.
I suspect both now on a healthy diet of crow and their tails tucked in tightly between their legs.
"In a season that has been a 65-game struggle for McDavid, the Oilers would not be a playoff team without Draisaitl’s production. Of his 49-51-100, 34 goals and 70 points have come at even strength."

Leon Draisaitl carrying Oilers with another MVP campaign
The two goals extended Draisaitl’s points streak to 17 games (14-12-26), tying the longest streak in the NHL this season.
Nylander certainly has the talent to be on Draisitl's level or at least close to it, but he doesn't have an inch of the determination or drive. Nylander probably won't accomplish a fraction of what Leon has already done.
There were many posters on this forum who looked down on Draisaitl year after year.
Being out west, for decades now, I've watched (non-live) many Oilers games.
It's amazing how underrated he is in certain parts of the east.
Dewar with 2 goals already in what 3-4 games for the pens? 
Yep, and Nylander is also 3rd. or 4th. option for the Leafs.
Almost 2 minutes less per game.
Draisaitl is a bull.

From Timmins and Acciari too. Unbelievable.
He's like the Pens. Plays better when the pressure is off.
Pens want that 10th place finish in the East!
Rather of moved Benoit then Timmins. Carlo and Myers are similar enough to what Benoit brings. Timmins is a big rh defenseman who has puck moving ability. Our back end could use more mobility.
Sure impressed with Bratt. I thought he would struggle without Hughes because their chemistry is incredible but he just keeps rolling. He’s small but doesn’t shy away from tough areas and battles hard.
He’d be popular here.
He’d be popular here.
Imagine if Marner did that here. (Or any leaf)
This is why Vegas and teams in the south can do what they want and "easier" to win in lol it'll be forgotten by tomorrow and theyll keep chugging along.
