Can you imagine? I picture it being a little like when Jerry, George, and Kramer find out that Elaine was the one who recorded the dirty audio messages, as a joke, for Jerry. The look they gave her at the end when they found out was priceless. Lol

I still have like every episode of them on DVD that I got like 10 or 15 years ago as a Christmas gift.

If I were astute at Photoshop I would make this into an avatar.

Playoff stats comparison Leafs 3 Stars vs Oilers deadly Duo

View attachment 880893

Why our Leafs are so screwed when it comes to poor Cap management and very bad bang for your buck playoff return analysis when the points really matter.

Either of McDavid or Draisailt have as many playoff points individually as Matthews and Marner combined would.

- Auston Matthews consumes $11.634 mil AAV of Leafs Cap which is only -$1.16 mil less than the $12.5 mil AAV. Starting next year AM $13.25 mil exceeds it.

- Mitch Marner consumes $10.9 mil AAV of Leafs Cap which is +$2.4 mil more than Oilers Draisaitl @ $8.5 mil AAV consumes. Marner wants a nice raise.

- William Nylander based on being the lowest of the 3 Leafs productively just got a nice raise up to $11.5 mil AAV. About to make him the 7th highest Cap player in NHL.

This helps explain why Oilers are competitng for the Stanley Cup and our Leafs are 1 and done most playoff seasons.

Mitch is only 8 more years away from hitting the 100 playoff point club. He sure is a bargain at $11m like one poster claimed while he was tearing up the Northern Division. LOL.

In the overwhelming majority of big moments situations ( JT return to Long Island, all the NBC and TNT national games, games 7, etc) Matthews doesn’t show up. How many times have they ( networks) hyped him up on national game and he’s not noticeable? They’ve actually stopped the hype, for the most part.

Frustrating thing about Matthews is it seems like he fizzles out when it’s a hyped up occasion, whether playoffs, a chance to dominate a marquee matchup, the 70 goal hunt.

In a way, it's actually a bit of a shrewd move to do this in the lead up to the draft and free agency. A whole new replacement site might not be functional by the time the draft starts.

We've seen from photos at the draft that teams actually use this site to look at hypothetical trades which is funny. The Leafs have their own in-house system, that was built by their analytics department.

Teams that don't have access to their own system, are going to be at a disadvantage

In the agreement, they're not shutting down the site until after the draft and the start of free agency anyway, though

Ah, missed that part. Still many other teams going to have to invest in their own now or just wait and hope to bloggers pick up the slacks (which usually is the case)

This is what bugs me the most.
So it sounds like part of the decision was that multiple teams had outsourced CapFriendly to create/maintain their internal infrastructures or run special programs and stuff, and Washington purchased the site for proprietary access to that, therefore stopping other teams.

But NHL teams were going to CapFriendly because they were proven professionals with a demonstrable product - but not because CapFriendly had access to anything extra that the teams don't already have. NHL teams have access to the Central Registry already; they have access to contract details and trade calls and central scouting and CBA specialists, etc.
It was simply, "hmmm we have a lot of data here, it would be great if we had some 'Product X' to manage it all... Oh, you guys have a Product X that can manage all this data? Great!"

Now they'll just find some other company to create a Product X.
This is a mild inconvenience at most to the other teams. They didn't lose any access to any data, just a premade and well-baked backend.


But it's a major detriment to fans who don't have access to contract copies and central registries, and are lost in that world without a reliable and publicly faced "Product X".

If the NHL was even remotely competently managed they'd have their own central public site for all too use, but that's well beyond their ability unfortunately

It was 8 years ago, granted, but Bettman has even come in the past saying the League is not going to do that. Not enough fan interest in his eyes.... which, as we all know, actually meant he didn't see enough dollar signs....

Though, with everything being ads and sponsors and 'premium this' and 'subscription that', maybe there actually is a model there now that would make it worthwhile enough for the League for a finger on the monkey's paw to curl...

This is the attitude the CN Tower should’ve had in 2021 but this city has a loser mentality. Which perfectly reflects the hockey team I suppose.

I’m pretty sure the CN tower has nothing to do with the city? It’s a CN rail is federal right? I could be wrong but I thought so

The thing is, even if they were to try, I think it would be worse than what some of these public sites can do. Like the NHL's advanced stats site is absolutely terrible compared to what you can find elsewhere on the internet. I honestly can't understand how they can be so bad at this
