Man, their season this year is baffling. Started out so good, 16-4-3, and then just suddenly imploded.

34 years old, three more years at 11 AAV after this season. May be if LA was to retain?
Some money would have to go the other way to make the contract work I suppose

I love how some fans just can't accept reality.
Like how old were Crosby, Malkin and Letang in 2009/2016?
Think before making a tweet!:

Doughty knows what a winning culture and team with the right mindset looks . He know's when his squad is putting in the correct work rate and playing the game the right way and when they aren't, it's the job of the leaders on the team to call this out and stomp it out fast.
I agree with you saying, it would be nice if there was a bit more of that around our team.

how? the high AAV players on this team have only one 1st round win to show for. Who is going to hold others accountable especially when they themselves don't get the job done in the playoffs?

It does have to eventually come from your core you're right.
Just doesn't feel like we have that culture or mindset and everything just feels extremely lax.

Dang that contract is pretty big anchor. Didn't think of that.

I mean its clearly being cheeky, and honestly, I'm here for it
That's the exact humour I'd be clinging to if my multi-Stanley Cup dynasty was dying out

I don’t know if they would trade him but at the right price he could help a team that’s taking a shot. Edmonton , Dallas, god forbid Boston Tampa or Florida.
If they won, great, but if not, you might have trouble getting rid of that contract.
Drew is not going anywhere. Kings will make moves to get better and not tank the season.
I don’t know if it was mentioned but frank seravalli on the DFO podcast said that the Utah announcement was because the coyotes are playing there next year.
That’s his prediction and he seems certain about it

JT for DD would be the dream, but will never happen.
Turned the Bruins Game on in the first,seriously not even 30 seconds into watching Stuzle dove, and drew a penalty, Coyle was laughing, and even told the ref thats a diver lol

Looks like the Habs are inspired to have Patrick Roy in the arena tonight.

The league really needs to come up with an award for a player like Stutzle.

He is basically Ted Nolan 2.0. Got a second chance, but it's with a team that is basically buying time until the implosion. The Islanders have to rebuild. There won't be any way around it. So Roy will muddle his way through a couple of seasons of mediocre results, and maybe not even the playoffs, and then will be fired because that's what happens when teams stuck in the middle finally start to slide down. I appreciate that he has this job because there were probably no other NHL jobs available to him, but it's not a great situation for him. He would have been so much better off with an Ottawa situation, where he could potentially grow a team into becoming a contender. On the Islanders, he will simply be overseeing the funeral.scabs up 3-0 against hte isles in the 1st. Roy party already ended?

One could point to goaltending as part of the issue with the Isles but they’re far from that strong defensive group in the past. They’ve given up some of the highest number of scoring chances in the league. That won’t help.

I think what it mostly points to is just how good of a coach Trotz is. He turned this lineup into one of the best teams in the league for two years running. I can't imagine a better example of what happens with a high-end coach. I don't think it's far-fetched to say that giving Barry Trotz this Leafs lineup would result in some pretty impressive playoff results.

Wow, Gallagher is going to have a long suspension you’d think.

Leafs now 13 points behind Boston with 2 games in hand. Will be tough to catch them.
If Boston say goes .500 the rest of the way with a 14-14-6 record they finish with 103 points.
Leafs would need to go 21-9-6 to finish with 104 points.
Don’t see that happening.
