It'll be more of a battle this season but that will hopefully be a good thing for the Leafs.

For those who didn't know Seattle hired a female assistant coach.
The number of close ups she gets every game you'd think she was the head coach. I'm not complaining because she's a lot easier on the eye than Bylsma. I'm just surprised the novelty hasn't worn off yet is all.
I don't think Ovechkin will break Gretzky's record.
The power play doesn't run through him anymore. He's more like the option of last resort now. For those who think it's a given just remember Gretzky himself only scored nine goals his last year in the league.
Calgary is doing better now that Treliving is gone while the Leafs are doing worse since his arrival.
Our favourite team of softies took a step backwards last year and are off to an even crummier start this year. The fans are already booing Marner and throwing jersey's on the ice. Maybe they should fire Marc Savard and hire Lady Ga Ga instead.
The special teams couldn't possibly be any worse.

In keeping with the moment, my guess it was a fake jersey in response to a fake effort?

The Pens just sent Jarry down to the AHL. Dubas signed him to a 5 x 5.375 contract. Man this guy knows goalies!
I am not defending Dubas but goalies are very tough to figure out for every GM.
You need to get lucky drafting it seems more than anything.
Guys look good for a year then fall off, guys come out of nowhere.

And yet he got it wrong every time. Also, I recall before Jarry was re-upped hearing he was a sketchy long term commitment.

I don't think Cambell amd Andersen were terrible, and I don't really know who else was available instead.
Murray and Samsonov sure seemed like a shot in the dark.
The term on the Jarry contract was stupid for sure.

The roster isn't great, but I think Sullivan is making it worse than it is. Their biggest issue is coaching.

He never solved the net here, and now he's doing it again in Pitt. Think of how many goalies he brought in, Anderson he inherited. It's looking like his Achilles.

Analytically speaking, the guy who threw the jersey was just drunk and thought he was throwing the jersey in the washer.

Couturier with the empty netter for the hatty.
That was nice to see, always respected his game.

Wouldn't that be something. The guy has been past his expiry date for a while now, but a random Saturday night game against the Canucks at the beginning of the year will be his undoing? I'm not convinced.
