Amazing game. Wow. I started watching in the 2nd. I like the Blue Jackets, but it was kind of tough to root against the Leafs, since I’m scared of them getting Lafreniere.

But boy oh boy, watching the Leafs choke a 3 goal lead was pretty satisfying to watch unfold.
 
Wouldn’t mind drafting a Liam Foudy type with our Skjei pick
No thank you. He’s destined for the bottom 6. Amazing speed, but other than that, not much else to write home about imo. With a 2nd or 3rd round pick though? Definitely.
 
Oof Toronto is gonna have a tough time winning back to backs against a Torts team, in my opinion. Blowing a 3-0 lead to lose 4-3 is too typical for playoff Leafs.

Just turned 20 and playing big minutes with a demanding coach. Speedy and doesn't shy away from contact. We need legit bottom 6 guys to come up thru the system on ELC
 
Next Hagelin? We can definitely use a player like that .
With more thickness. Unfortunately, as of now we don't have any 2nd round picks this draft so I would be very happy hitting on a speedy in your face bottom/middle 6 guy with our Skjei pick which will be in the 20's.
 
After the Leafs lost, the site completely shit its pants. Is this normal?
I can't remember the last time the site shit the bed. I guess a lot of fans came back to watching bubble hockey. Man if the Leafs don't even get by the qualifying play in round it will be how many years without a playoff round victory?

16 i think? Lol with the forwards they have, you would think it's automatic, awful.

I actually had to look it up not gonna lie. Not since 2003-2004 when they squeaked by the Sens in 7 games in the first round. We are talking 16 years plus.

Yeah they have a bunch of sexy forwards but we all know it takes more than that to win in the playoffs.

Lol at people on this forum posting that pld would want out or could be had bc torts was pushing buttons and demanding more from him in a playoff game. So they yelled at each other, big whoop. That kid is a complete stud, and torts remains completely underrated as a coach. Just because Gabby couldn't handle tough love doesn't mean it's not effective at times.

Lots of ex-Rangers looking very good with their new teams. Miller, Skjei, Talbot, Hayes. Crazy that Miller was thrown into the McDonagh deal. Also hated that we didn't sign Hayes. I think the focus was on what he wasn't instead of what he was.

Crazy how nobody brings up that Miller was playing on the 4th line in Tampa regularly and only really put it together after his 2nd trade in 14 months.

Yes. The trade deadline, the start of free agency, the start of the draft, when there is a big thing happening involving Toronto or Montreal, etc. It always shits the bed. And they'll close the site several hours for server maintenance multiple time per year but it never actually does anything. Only so much can be done when a site's membership essentially DDOSes it every time something major happens.

Spin it any way you like. Both he and Hayes got destroyed by many on this site. But hey, we have guys like Howden, Strome and still holding out for Lias to live up to the hype.
 
Nah dude. Whatever makes the narrative look good, ya know?
Yeah, the narrative. What narrative, btw?
Both Hayes and Miller are better than all of our centers not named Zibanejad. We didn't want to pay Hayes, yet we thought it was a great idea to give Trouba $8M.
Honest question, because I dont recall, but did we try to extend Hayes prior to his contract year?
