Just be glad you didn't tune into the Islanders broadcast . . . you should have heard them talk about Bunting "diving" before his penalty shot call . . . then they watched the replay, and just silence and a few words . . . it was classic. American broadcasts are so god-awful homerist and don't understand the nuances of the game or appreciate good overall hockey plays like we Canadians do.
I remember a game last year from the Florida broadcast. They talked all game like the Leafs were just diving all over the ice trying to buy calls, and one of them brought up the Leafs being one of the least penalized teams in the league with the other one responding "thats not shocking at all", clearly insinuating they think there's some bias favoring the Leafs.
It's absolutely bonkers what Boston is doing this year, especially with a decent, but not great roster.
Not that hard of a decision. Pay Sammy his value and see if you can keep Murray or not.
It's always hilarious when people point out that the Leafs don't take a lot of penalties yet omit the fact that over the last 4+ years the Leafs are also at the bottom in power play opportunities.
But a lot of those posts in the Habs post game thread were Habs fans coming in pretending to be Leafs fans and saying Leafs sucks bc their beloved Habs got two points instead of none and a step further away from Bedard.
I’m wondering if trading Murray and bringing up Woll is viable. We could use the cap space and Murray has proven to have value.
I think leafblooded has it right.
I thought about this. Imagine if Murray ended up on another playoff team and got hot? It would be chaos.
. I think they will ride them both but it would give us the cap room to make another significant addition.
Why would that be a surprise?
