It was 5-4 Leafs.

Cowan with the winner with about 3 minutes left.

Minten looked good up until the bullshit cheapshot by the puke hab guy.

Niemela had 4 or 5 assists over the 2 games.

The goalies all played well I thought. I'm actually really impressed with our depth there now..I hope they all can continue to develop.

I absolutely loved that Minten chase down on the Hutson breakaway. The clear headedness after being several strides behind to make that play without taking a penalty and to turn around immediately and make the breakaway pass to Cowan was fantastic. Minten will never be a star but I love the way he thinks the game.

On the downside I don’t like how good Hutson looked. He’s gonna be dangerous.
Montreal just drafted Marner, Kadri and Reilly in one round..gulp. Demidov, Hague, Hutson.

Have Grebenkin's reps let it be known privately that he's willing to report to the Marlies? Because everyone covering the team seems to be disregarding the existence of his European Assignment Clause.

I don't believe the clause stops him from accepting assignment to the AHL.
From what I recall he didn't sign a KHL contract.
If he's happy in Toronto he likely stays.

It doesn't, but the entire point of the clause is so the player can refuse AHL assignment and be assigned to a European team instead. Would be weird IMO for him and his agent to have that clause negotiated into his ELC only for him to not use that leverage.

Not disagreeing.

That doesn't mean he'd pull the chute at the first sign he's going to the Marlies.

Arpon Basu (Habs beat writer) tweeted out yesterday that Lane Hutson is hockey's version of Barry Sanders.

Just in case anyone wanted to get an inside like on why Habs fans are so deranged.
That reference eludes me, but I read it as Bernie Sanders so that's good, I guess...


Anyway, yeah, he'll be lucky if he's half as good as Stuart Percy. ;)

The kid is definitely a player but one thing we’ve learned in this league is that it means nothing until you’ve made it to the NHL. We’ve seen so many teams hype up their prospect pools to no end, yet rebuild forever. Ottawa, Buffalo, Columbus, Arizona, Edmonton and more.

For all the shit I’ve given leafs stars, they came in and torched the league and ended the rebuild real damn quick.

It might just be in case he is having trouble acclimatizing to NA hockey. It is smart to leave yourself options
