Uncle Leo is so dependable defensively. Showed it there on the last shift. The analytics community hate him but Trotz loves him.

I know a team that could use him

 

[karnige]

Matthews is a stud. same tier as mcdavid. 3 points in his last 6 games and -9. generational.

I wouldn't root for the Islanders over the Penguins or anything, but them going far in the postseason (and doing better than Toronto) would be a great story.

This board/forum would implode if that were to happen.

I couldn’t even imagine how Leaf fans would explain that. But I don’t want to find out.

Hockey is a highly unpredictable sport. Shit happens. <- Just did it.

Hockey is a highly unpredictable sport. **** happens. <- Just did it.

Very true. But at some point the unpredictablility should be outweighed by the talent difference and the two given teams.

Or I guess perceived talent difference.

Edit: Oh, and if you believe that Leaf fans will leave it as that simple and something boardering on an actual somewhat educated answer......

It’s a feel good story for sure for the fans. It was a pretty devastating summer losing Tavares for nothing. It looks like Trotz has really turned things around.

It is a feel good story.

I think this says a lot about Trotz.

But fans need to overall relax. Sometimes players join a new team and it takes time, sometimes a player leaves a team and the team does well. It's been happening around the NHL for years. Hell, once even, an expansion team made the cup finals! Can you believe that?

Edit: Twice, I guess. "The Next 6" don't count.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Brassard putting together another really solid game. He’s either picking it up to showcase for another team or doesn’t want to be traded.

Either one is great for the Pens.

 

[JerseyMike34]

Gaudreau is a great player. But I really like Sean Monahan.

Why the **** is Calgary not using the jerseys they wore today as their primaries?

 

[hockeyisgud]

Casey Middlestadt looks good. Buffalo needs to not give up on that guy.

How about nylander, as good as draisaitl.

 

[Tatre]

Yeah, just doesn't seem to have gotten his footing so far

 

[Rubi]

Why the **** is Calgary not using the jerseys they wore today as their primaries?

Who the hell knows. Those jerseys are universally loved by Calgary fans.

 

[wingnutks]

So good!

 

[bukwas]

That one might come back.

 

[TheMule93]

Man we need to get Larkin a solid winger

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Brodie got danced, and smith sucks.

 

[JerseyMike34]

Man we need to get Larkin a solid winger

William Nylander come on down!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Who the hell knows. Those jerseys are universally loved by Calgary fans.

They are definitely great jerseys.

 

[TheMule93]

Agreed these jerseys are possibly my fav in the league

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I would love it if Detroit pulled this win out in regulation. Don't have much hope for the Sharks game tomorrow, considering Tampa Bay is looking at it as a revenge game.

 

[Ezekial]

Nyquist is having quite the f***in season, boys.

 

[Super Hans]

Gio and Brodie have been brutal tonight.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Bennett's moustache is so disgusting its beautiful.
