Around the League - Stanley Cup Edition

[tmlms13]

Yes and no, we had fewer chances than normal, but enough to generate better offense than we saw and our defensive stats were slightly better than CLB in the series. It's very logical to say our D outplayed theirs

Ok let me put it this way..... Last year straight up, no cap, would you trade Toronto's Top 6 for Columbus Top 6?

On D? Yes.

As a team defensively and how they played to limit chances? No. We limited chances better

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Toronto's inability to score last year had a lot more to do with Columbus' defense.

Columbus does not even come close to winning that series without their goaltending.

As much as I like Matthews as a player:

Matthews for McDavid?

I believe he's going to TNT for their hockey broadcasts and that was rumoured a while ago

And the leafs were a much softer team.

 

[Menzinger]

That's awesome

 

[Superstar]

There is one poster on there that absolutely loathes the Leafs. He creates their GTDs and basically hate posts the Leafs in their OFT thread.

That's pathetic.

 

[Superstar]

LOL...really liked the way he said "Swwwept???"...so smooth, like a curler's broom sweeping over ice...

 

[tmlms13]

I'd rather he stick to ignoring hockey if that's the extent of his coverage.

 

[Daisy Jane]

lolol
"how you gonna do hockey like that?" that made me laugh harder than it should have.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I love how he flat out acknowledges he knows nothing about hockey.

 

[sxvnert]

Gretz on tnt broadcasts. A boring disaster waiting to happen.

Hope they hire Roenick

Someone should tell him Kia Nurse's brother plays in the NHL. And their uncle by marriage is Donovan McNabb

There is probably a better chance he's heard of Kia Nurse (WNBA) over Darnell

? I thought his sister was a national team hockey player?

It's just the network promoting the game with 1 of their biggest personalities.

 

[tmlms13]

Yes, his other sister is. I think his dad played in the CFL too.

There was a quote from Nurse's draft day. They asked him about talking to Donovan McNabb about getting drafted.

"Donovan was drafted higher but I didn't get boo'd"

 

[Daisy Jane]

here is the whole segment from Stephen A Smith

 

[Legion34]

Yes, his other sister is. I think his dad played in the CFL too.

what an incredible family. Holy.

 

[tmlms13]

what an incredible family. Holy.

Just looked it up. The one on the Canadian National Hockey Team is his cousin, not sister.

Pouting Oiler fans triggered Matthews doesn’t have a point in two games (so far today).

They are so used to one player getting all their points.

they will say anything to undermine the leafs.

Those poor saps probably dont realize that you can win even if your best player is held off the score sheet. Sad stuff over there.
