Moar PPs for the Leafs.
Going to the 5on3 now - to go with their five PPs already halfway through the game.

Wonder what that feels like.

Leafs could be like 8-1 today or 7-1 without "Big Papi"

Their PP started to soar after Matthews got injured lol. It was worse than ours at one point.

I don’t like the Blues but how did they steal a coach? The Bruins fired Montgomery and so the Blues hired him.

The last three coaches the Bruins fired had all been recent Jack Adam’s winners and all three were signed by their new team within a week. For the genius that some of our posters make Armstrong out to be, he looks like an idiot for his last hire, the guy didn’t even make it to 20 games as permanent HC.

I’m sure the laugh react poster truly be-leafs “this year is different, this year is the Leaf’s year”

So many negative and sad stories in today’s world. If you want to be uplifted, watch this.

2 parts of interest, Douglas Murray’s comments on Joe and his family’s generosity and philosophy (around the 30 minute mark) and of course Jumbo’s thank you speech and his many stories about teammates and so on.

Highly entertaining watch. Just a huge, honorable man and character

No cause of death given, just listed as "sudden". Way too young to go. And leaves behind a young son. Sad.

For a guy that's only been in the league for a year and a few months, Connor Bedard sure gets a lot of media exposure. He seems to be in an inordinate number of commercials and ads for a guy that really hasn't done a whole lot yet. Sure, he obviously has lots of talent, but anyone thinking McDavid needs to worry about his crown can relax.

I kind of feel bad for him because he's obviously a very talented and sure fire star level player, but I always thought the "generational" accolades were premature and a little silly. Putting him in the same category as McDavid and Crosby wasn't fair.

He's undersized and not the greatest skater in the world. He is and will be a star, but I think more on the John Tavares/Steven Stamkos level, not anywhere close to Crosby, McDavid, Ovechkin, etc, etc.
