Oh man Marner was fresh of the bench and let Pasta blow right by him.
Who would make that deal?Leafs should trade Marner for a top flight defenseman.
Not sure that's an option. He's a rental with a full no moveLeafs should trade Marner for a top flight defenseman.
Absolutely beautiful set play. You could see Pasta start wheeling and point forward for him to launch it into the corner. Rarely see those work in OTAmazing pass by Lindholm - home ice, he knew just where to hit the boards in his rink to create that carom, it was a set play, how many times do you think they’ve run that in practice, you could see Pasta wind up, calling for the puck and get a running start.
Worked like a charm. Just like they draw it up. I feel bad for Toronto. The better team doesn’t always win in hockey. The better goalie won in this series.
And everyone in here is so hot to get ahold of his backup...They mentioned they didn’t think Swayman let in one bad goal this entire series.
I had to double check in my notes but I’m in full agreement with that. I don’t even have his name in my notes for the playoffs, which means I haven’t nailed him for a single goal.
Clean sheet of ice helped too. That made a difference. Towards the end of the 3d period the ice seemed to be horrible. You could see the pucks sticking along the boards and the players fighting through it. That set play probably can’t work if it isn’t early in the OT.Absolutely beautiful set play.

Bruins collapse and then swoop in and steal Montgomery and Swayman
The Leafs have to win a Game 7, that’s asking a lot of the universe.
40 minutes of Steve Dangle unhinged. I only could stomach the first few minutes out of curiosity.
Who trades a top pair minute eating D for a under sized winger ?Leafs should trade Marner for a top flight defenseman.
If Toronto actively tries to move Marner it’s a trade they likely lose. They probably get someone like Larsson. And thr trade will be one for one.I like Steve mainly because he's realistic he always has been. He LOVES his team, but has never shy'd away from ripping them for their flaws.

They're gonna trade Mitch...and they'll likely get a top 4 d in return...in a package though with a pick and prospect. They aren't getting a #1 D to pair with Morgan Riley for him.
The biggest thing they get is cap space.If Toronto actively tries to move Marner it’s a trade they likely lose. They probably get someone like Larsson. And thr trade will be one for one.
Depends who they trade him for.The biggest thing they get is cap space.
Yep cap space and premium assets that they can go flip for a top pairing defenseman. They don’t have to directly get the defenseman for Marner as long as they’re getting high end assets to flip.The biggest thing they get is cap space.
I struggle to see that. I don’t see him returning any high first round picks for example . I don’t see a team trading a top five or so prospect for him. He has one year left on his deal. For all intents and purposes he’s a rental right now. If he extends where he goes maybe he’s worth something extra but I don’t see any team gutting its future for him. At this point would any GM see him as the missing piece to a cup?Yep cap space and premium assets that they can go flip for a top pairing defenseman.

What an admission lol
They aren’t moving Marner if they don’t get the equivalent value of 1st round picks/high-end prospects in return. He has a high cap hit but he’s still one of the premier offensive players in the game. They aren’t just giving that away for middling assets.I struggle to see that.
