GDT: Game 39: Habs vs. Rangers, Sat. Jan. 6, 2024, 7 p.m. | TVAS, CityTV

[Rapala]

More likely to get Lyme disease that way though.

FN tablet.

 

[sheed36]

Whoa.. 11.5m for Nylander and likely over 8 years. Nylander's new number for next season.

 

[The Great Weal]

Yeah, they won’t win anything.

There's no way Marner is getting a new contract.

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

FN tablet.

Still a pretty lame dad joke from me pal.

 

[LV426]

Almost 50 mill for 4 players. That franchise will never learn

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

There's no way Marner is getting a new contract.

Tavares' contract is up at the same time.

It's next year they will have like no space.

 

[waitin425]

There's no way Marner is getting a new contract.

I think Tavares takes the discount and Marner stays around the same. Theyll have all four still in a couple years

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Leafs have like one good dman signed for next year. I don't understand how they think they are going to win anything with a patchwork defense every year.

 

[CharleyHorse]

I guess we're different, I like anything that has the crowd engaged and lively. It's the atmosphere in Montreal that makes it the most special place to play in the sport.

no disagreement there - would hate the Bell Centre to become the funeral home Scotia Bank Area is. Just wish habs' fans would save ole for soccer games and find somethin else to chant to express passion and excitement. then again, I have a remote with a mute button

 

[SlafySZN]

There's no way Marner is getting a new contract.

One of their core guys should’ve been traded last summer and it would’ve been easier to trade Nylander but i really wonder how they’re gonna fit those big contracts AND having a good goalie/good defence

 

[The Great Weal]

Nylander's camp is probably trying to make it 11.75 lol, it was 11.25 last week.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, I'm glad they bringing up that penalty Stephens got after hitting Krebs in the Buffalo game. That was bullshit.

2 minutes for being stronger on his skates.

 

[26Mats]

Like Montreal, they had no choice. Too many bad players signed to long contracts. They're going to be bad for awhile.

Grier has made some questionable trades. But at least he helped the tank in doing so.

 

[the valiant effort]

As pessimistic as I am about the Habs getting back to a place where they can win a playoff round, I do still envision their return to the playoffs being the final nail in this Leafs core

It's the contrived noise I can't stand along with the scoreboard telling me when I should. The spontaneous noise related to the play is awesome.

 

[Bottle Rocket]

I think he's got a better shot than all those guys except Pasta/Matthews/Ovi. On par with Kucherov.

Burns, svechnikov, laine, marchand?

 

[HabbyGuy]

The funy thing is, Sharks fans are loving it. They're so tired of being a team that didn't do a proper rebuild that now that they've really picked a direction, they're happy.

Just hope they're more patient than alot around here.

We should be happy too.

 

[OldCraig71]

I love listening to Jen.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Tavares contract ends same time as Marner. Marner is already making $10.9m. A $1m pay raise isn't that much to handle. No way Tavares is getting $11m again. He'll be 34. Probably signs at half that, 2 x $5.5m. With an increasing cap, they'll be able to resign Marner too.

 

[HabbyGuy]

I love listening to Jen.

 

[Cournoyer12]

Damn she’s awkward!!!

 

[sheed36]

I wonder how much of a discount though? If he's still productive offensively next season and scores 65-70 points I'd say he'd be looking at something similar to that Giroux deal with the Sens which was 3 x 6.5m at the very least.

 

[Runner77]

I love listening to Jen.

Where is @sampollock ? He loves ballparking her shoe size.

 

[waitin425]

Damn she’s awkward!!!

I like her Adams apple

Talked about it and thr 5 min penalty on McMahon, or whatever his name is from the Leafs.
