Panthers (especially Bennett) were taking healthy runs at our players with literally no response from the Leafs.
I couldn't believe they let him get away with it over and over and over again. Especially after knocking your rookie out of the series. When I saw him run Tavares in Game 5 with no consequences, I just rolled my eyes. They need a coach who will not put up with guys not sticking up for their teammates.
 
No one will ever convince me that Tavares isn't a goddamn cyborg.

Captain needs to come in noticeably lighter next year, there's no way he can come in at 215lbs and be effective.

Well, we'll drop this to a "I'm rubber you're glue" discussion.

I'd wager that no matter how much Marner looks like he doesn't care, there will be many posters who twist his words into making it look like he cares.
There will be many posters who twist his words into making it look like he doesn't care as well. We should just ask him if cares. If someone disagrees with the answer, they can say "what else is he supposed to say?".
 
ROR is definitely aging but IMO a retool is needed and his leadership could be big for younger guys coming up

Absolutely no scenario exists where Tavares and ROR playing center for the same team, ends up with good results.

They need another center to push JT to the wing, and ROR isn't the answer. He was so slow & ineffective in virtually everything he did.
 
What's Pridham's resume beyond Kyle Dubas' assistant?

May 23, 2018

Pridham joined the Leafs from the National Hockey League where he most recently served as Senior Director, Central Registry and Senior Advisor, Central Scouting. He began his career at the NHL in 1999 as a coordinator in NHL Central Scouting. In 15 years with the League, he served in a number of capacities in the Central Scouting and Central Registry departments with duties that included serving as the contact person for NHL General Managers, Assistant General Managers and NHL Executives on issues involving the CBA, salary cap and NHL Central Scouting department.

Pridham, 44, and his wife, Sue, have two children.
 
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

The Oilers lost because their 'Stars' dont know how to play a 2-way game, they are 1-dimensional all offense only, and cheat like crazy on defense. We call JT horrible on defense, yet he was only -1 ...ROR was -3

in the playoffs +/- is a very important stat. Sort playoff scoring +/- showing the minus leaders, and the top 15 are all out of the playoffs. why did NJD lose, Hamilton's -11 didnt help, Leafs Holl, Gio, and McCabe all -7 (4,5,6 on the list) next lowest leaf was 37th place

McD, 20 points and was a MINUS 1
Drais, 18 points and was a MINUS 1
Marner was Plus 7
Matthews was Plus 2

the Oilers 2 are great on offense, but do nothing to assist on the defensive side of the game.
while Matthews wasnt scoring he was really strong on the backcheck and

In another words, he's more qualified than Kyle Dubas
 
I like Pridham and hope he stays with the Leafs, but I don't have much of an appetite with going right to another totally inexperienced GM. He is actually less experienced than Dubas on the hockey side of things. The only advantage is he seems much more intelligent than Dubas but that's probably not enough

Is that even possible ??

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.
I agree.

He's going to get paid a lot more then he's worth at this point.

He was a great deadline pickup, but he also was pretty ineffectual vs Florida.

Not realistic for JT .. last 2 years of his deal he will play 2/3LW and deal with da wall and blocking shots .. bang in a few on PP .. and then retire .. he ain't going anywhere and he ain't playing C anymore .. best bet we can hope for is he gets hurt and helps us out on LTIR .. it is not that your idear is wrong it is he had to lighten up to get to 215 this past summer which was a huge struggle
 
MLSE owners Bell and Rogers also own TSN and SN. Like NHL refereeing, the fix is in. lol
Wanna add something else too ..

Leafs and MLSE is what Metallica and Black Album on is.. I wrote a whole rant but deleted it cuz I didn't want ya guys to think I'm nuts. (I'm still fan of Metallica, they're the reason I play music and what happened in my life due to playing music) Kept it shorter and sweeter.. love the leafs. f*** MLSE.
