Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CXI: The Last One Went So Long Because I Didn't Know What The Next Number Was

[CerpinTaxt]

You should counter by offering Couts, Risto and a 3rd instead.

No way I'd chime in on their boards. They have posters just as bad as DH, GB, and slowcowski. I post on here enough as is.

Imagine being one of the worst playoff underperformers and still having the nerve to call out your teammates.

What a great captain

If I had a forehead that big, I'd take out my insecurities on others too. It's an unfortunately common human tendency

Every year I am reminded to send this to my Leaf friends.

Matthews: Leafs had 'too many passengers' in Game 7 loss

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews couldn't quite put his finger on what went wrong in a disastrous Game 7 loss to the Florida Panthers on Sunday, but he said there wasn't enough effort throughout the lineup."The first 10 minutes they came out strong, the next 10 minutes I thought we...

If there's anything coming out of this, is that if the Leafs have the chance to sign Marchand, they should do it.

Friedman must have read this post, cause he's all aboard the Make-Brad-A-Leaf train on the latest podcast.

The tell tale sign you saw last night was that Berube became very demonstrative and animated. Very similar to what we saw at the eve of his time here and St. Louis. Not that he was wrong to do that but that told a lot of the story, because to that point it was about how he wasn’t there for their previous failures and he spent the entire season putting their mindset past that. And in 4 days all of that work became an entire seasons worth of a fact-finding mission.

I thought the same thing. Just proves how much of a mastermind I am.

 

[tictactoe]

Well, maybe next year.
We can trade Risto for 1st, It was clear to me that Leafs needed Risto. We can trade one of our goalies as well, god knows we have one too many

 

[Appleyard]

All the underlying stats say Keefe's Leaf teams were better than Berube's tbh...

BUT Keefe had a better transition D to work with.

 

[Rebels57]

Don’t gaslight me giving credit to Dale Tallon. Biased ass Olcyzyzkzkzk.

Isn't Tallon the knucklehead that gave Vegas Marchessault and Smith?

 

[BiggE]

The guy the Leafs should fire is Shanahan.

Honestly Florida’s top players didn’t really do much either. Tkachuk for example went the whole series without scoring a goal. Florida ultimately won on just being a deeper team than Toronto. Stolarz probably was mitigating it some before he got hurt.

How many of Tanev, McCabe, Carlo, Benoit, etc. types do you need in your lineup? I get Reilly has his faults defensively but he’s really the only defensemen they have that creates offense for the team when he’s on the ice.

Honestly it’s kind of reminiscent of what the Flyers did in Giroux’s prime here where they just hockeyguy’d it up & relied on like one defensemen to be their entire transition/offense for them.

Here's a hot one from BSH. On the daily news link comments going over Toronto's potential roster blow up, someone posted they'd do Michkov, 6OA, and 26 1st unprotected for Matthews. Woof

Fletcher isn’t here anymore or it would get done

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Woof. They’re basically locked into their defense for the next two years too contractually. Possibly about to minus Marner from the equation.

They really have no dynamic defensemen, which also doesn’t work. Wasn’t their expected goals under 50%?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Toronto loads up with defensemen that can’t make enough plays with the puck on their sticks & then wonder’s why they struggle to score/create offense.

Familiar

Bad-Decent Prospect

 

[FLYguy3911]

Looks like the 2012 Flyers blue line after Pronger went down and Bryzgalov couldn't stop a beach ball and they just loaded up on "defensive defensemen".

 

[Cody Webster]

In a playoff pool and need to decide who I am taking between Florida and Carolina; I have Edmonton in the West. I couldn't pick Dallas because I had them losing to Colorado in the first round, so that made that choice easy, but can't decide between Florida and Carolina. I think I'm leaning towards Flordia

Not to mention Florida added Marchand and Toronto added Laughton. There's a wide chasm between those two players, and Florida payed less for Marchand. Florida might have lost this series without Marchand coming on strong in Game 3.

to the rescue...

Shanahan fired Lou, now he’s gonna replace him

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

When does Matthews request the trade?
