Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[BallardEra]

Kyle has made an instant impact in Pittsburgh i see.

He’s got 4 days off to fire someone. Something’s gotta give in Pittsburgh.

The Bortuzzo price (7th) is something the Leafs could have afforded.

 

[hotpaws]

Lol really? They got destroyed everywhere except the scoreboard

well it was the Pens feed i believe , gotta stay positive or Dubie will replace them with his Soo crew

 

[BallardEra]

Insane hands and patience:

lucky for him the Steelers just lost to the Pats hurting there playoff chances so no one's paying attention

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Good job by the Oilers taking advantage of a butter soft schedule, playing a bunch of teams on the back half of a BTB. They'll get another one on Sunday (NJ at CGY Saturday)

They haven't even played a single BTB yet lol

 

[LeafEgo]

Pitt with their 4th loss in a row and their announcers praising it for being a much better effort and a morale victory compared to the previous 3 defeats . lol .

How can you tell without a handshake line?

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Keefe for Sullivan, let's go

"On the Penguins’ last 37 attempts, the power play is now 0-for-37.

According to Florida Hockey Now’s, the reported record for the most consecutive power plays without a goal is 0-for-51, a standard set by the Toronto Maple Leafs"

The Penguins look awful. Luckily for them Crosby is playing like Crosby even at 36. Who knows where they'd be if he took a bit of a dip.

Dubas is a bitter prick , not even half way through his first season there and the f***er is already chasing our records !

Pretty hilarious that the Penguins PP has somehow gotten far worse with the addition of Erik Karlsson.

At any rate, perfect timing for Dubas to trade away 1st and 2nd round picks.

Can't wait to see his trade deadline moves to follow up his video-game/GM-mode off-season with the Pens.

No idea why they trade for Karlsson and then run both letang and karlsson on PP1. Didn't buy the karlsson trade hype, said at the time its the last thing that team needs to be better. Dude sucks at D and part of the reason why he had an insane point total in sjs last year is because they just didnt even care about playing properly and just let him do whatever he wanted. Hes got 2 points his last 10, 1 in his last 5, and on pace for 60 points. But I guess Dubas wanted to make a big splash right away just like he did with Tavares. Thank god he wasnt able to get Karlsson when he was here, literally the last kind of D the leafs need and we'd be adding another player with a 10m+ salary.

That Karlsson trade is really paying dividends huh?

And dubas was planning on selling Leafs' future for EK. Man what a bullet we dodged here

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Can’t believe we lost to those bums in Pittsburgh.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Insane hands and patience:

Great goal; can't stand their play-by-play guy.

 

[rumman]

Great goal; can't stand their play-by-play guy.

Magical play…….

Ummm?

Leafs have futures?

Okay, I take that back ... outside of Hildeby, Cowan, and Grebyonkin ... Leafs have futures?

 

[ULF_55]

Great goal; can't stand their play-by-play guy.

Their between period analysts are worse.

I bet if you switched them up with the Bruins guys you'd never know the difference, other than accents.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Chintzy call that we would never get puts the Bruins on a 5-3.

 

[Peasy]

Chintzy call that we would never get puts the Bruins on a 5-3.

And then Boston does the exact same thing while on the PK and the yotes dont get a 5 on 3

If you think Tavares was a Dubas led idea I don’t know what to tell you. Pretty sure that came from up top. Tavares to the leafs was set in stone regardless of who the GM was. This is where he wanted to play.

It pretty evident how much Shanahan has influenced major roster decisions.

Not that Dubas would have necessarily made the right move, but he seemed willing to move a core piece which has been vetoed by Shanny.

Now we.me faced with losing one of our big assets for nothing in UFA or signing him to a far new deal.

Yeah, Willy Wonka could've been the GM, he was still set on coming.
