Leaf fans, I take full responsibility.Tkachuk still obviously hurt and I'd guess he needs a significant surgery after the season ends. Tracks with Panthers' public complete uncertainty on return this season, including playoffs back in Feb/Mar. Guessing groin or knee. Under 14min last series and nearly all production on powerplay.
Also, idk how people watch teams like the Leafs (could make ECF finally) or the Blues (almost big upset) and still defend how the Devs roster is constructed. Also, are people still widely mocking the Berube hire? Even if they lose this series, they are playing a notably better overall game vs years past.
Bennett going to win first star for knocking out Stolarz
Lol the Bennett mob is so predictable. I don't even like the guy, but that wasn't egregious. The home Leafs' broadcast didn't even care. The Leaf players right there didn't freak out. The concussion spotters didn't do anything either. Simple penalty at best with a potentially unfortunate result. Any other player and this isn't even a story.The fact that it is a viable strategy is disgusting. And the NHL encourages this garbage. That's why it will always be a third rate league and far behind the other major sports.
Thats pretty standard for 2024-2025 hockey. Shots are way down this season41 total shots just about 50 minutes in....snooze fest.
Regardless this is a shitty game. Not very interesting to me all. But I'm watching.Thats pretty standard for 2024-2025 hockey. Shots are way down this season
We need everythingIdc id still love to sign Bennett this offseason
We need a skilled asshole
Adding: Some Leaf fans and now even the media (finally) mentioning Stolarz took a puck off the dome earlier in the game. That'd make more sense....then a bump from Bennett could have amplified issue. Or he was already sick. Who knows.Lol the Bennett mob is so predictable. I don't even like the guy, but that wasn't egregious. The home Leafs' broadcast didn't even care.

As someone who has suffered 5 concussions in my life, the second contact after an initial blow to the head is cataclysmic.Adding: Some Leaf fans and now even the media (finally) mentioning Stolarz took a puck off the dome earlier in the game.
