End of Season Pressers (Monday May 15)

[Suntouchable13]

Thank God Jays are great and likeable at least. Definitely makes it easier to move on.

 

[hamzarocks]

And yet….. he still lost.
Being angry doesn’t make you a winner

Mcdavid had 20 pts in 12 games

He dominated R1 and R2 overall

Oilers have a sieve in net and defense they had a 6M making 9.5M

They're burning almost 9M which is costing the oilers the finishing pieces

Oilers aren't held back by their stars underperforming like the leafs are

 

[SprDaVE]

Did ROR say anything about his health? I don't think he looked right during the Florida series.

He said he was healthy and his finger was fine.

 

[Mugzy97]

Any links would be appreciated as the original one for TSN ended

For an awful lot of Leafs fans, it’s a fun way to spend a few hours every week from season’s start to whenever it ends. Whatever happens, happens. When it’s over, it’s time to shift energies towards other things in their lives. Sure, it would be great fun to see them win a cup and it’s always disappointing when they lose. But honestly, for an awful lot of us, what the Leafs do has little impact on our lives, so we feel no need to get terribly upset over their performance.

The games are fun to watch (often/sometimes) but for some of us this intrigue is also a whole of lot fun too.

He said he was healthy.

Are you just following along on twitter or are you listening live?

On comments about Florida's physicality...

I have zero doubt, to whatever effect it would have had, that Rasmus Sandin would have stood up for his team.

 

[ACC1224]

This organization does not deserve the fanbase they have. Half the league couldn't get this participation in playoff GDT, let alone a presser.

We really need to have our heads examined.

It's a work day. Would anyone care if this was a weekend?

 

[freshwind]

Any stats to back that up

i for 1 would like to see the xNEWSfor ... i have read that is what really counts..expected and not results

What's Pridham's resume beyond Kyle Dubas' assistant?

Draisaitl disappeared when it mattered.

 

[SprDaVE]

If the Leafs do move on from Dubas, I've always thought Pridham would be the next in line with Spezza as the assistant.

 

[BertCorbeau]

ROR is definitely aging but IMO a retool is needed and his leadership could be big for younger guys coming up

 

[ShaneFalco]

Spoken like a guy who knows what it takes to win.

Hmmmm where have we heard that before?

 

[Leaf Fans]

What's Pridham's resume beyond Kyle Dubas' assistant?

A writer of CBA while working with the NHL.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

What's Pridham's resume beyond Kyle Dubas' assistant?

He basically was heavily involved in writing the current CBA

 

[justashadowof]

On comments about Florida's physicality...

I have zero doubt, to whatever effect it would have had, that Rasmus Sandin would have stood up for his team.

He may not be a fully cooked NHL defenseman but I'll say that lil son of gun has a more competitive heart than most of the current team.

 

[Leaf Fans]

So Dubas to President and Pridham to GM?

 

[rojac]

It’s really fascinating to me how much matthews and marner really go out of their way to piss fans off.
-take max dollars on a 5/6 yr deal
-when their back is against the wall the standard “we’re blocking out the outside noise”
-when eliminated “we have a lot of belief in there”

Marner really needs a coach. a PR coach of Some kind. Crosby and mcdavid doesn’t say these things

Personally, absolutely none of those bothers me in the slightest. Being annoyed by them may say more about the particular fan than it does about Matthews or Marney.

And neither took max dollars, that would be 20% of the cap. Now if you wanted to say an overly high number of dollars, that would probably be much more accurate.

Drai had 1 assist and was a -7 in the last 4 games

Personally he's better days are behind him and hes a step slower
Not sure if I want him around.

We have enough players to provide leadership if that's what it came down to. We still have Gio

The player I want to resign is Acciari. Was a true soldier end to end

 

[Macman]

Panthers (especially Bennett) were taking healthy runs at our players with literally no response from the Leafs.

Or the refs.

 

[SprDaVE]

Ehhhh I liked ROR but I feel like his lack of speed is a big issue. He had very low impact when the Leafs needed him the most. I'd be very concerned about his next contract.

Leafs need center depth so obviously if the contract is alright then for sure it could work out.

Are the videos/link up somewhere?
