    So Shane Doan is now the Special Advisor to the General Manager for the Leafs. Fun.

      Heading off the threat of Matthews to Arizona by bringing captain Arizona to Toronto

    End of the Auston Matthews saga in Toronto?

      If I'm Toronto management I try to trade AM at the draft. I believe both he and Marner have NMCs that kick in July 1. One has to assume that he won't re-sign. The decision is for them to either make one last run next year or get some assets for him now before his NMC kicks in. It's too tough a sell to trade him at the TDL from a PR perspective and they are unlikely to get high picks from a contender. The most value would be extracted at the draft imo.

      Send him to Mullet Arena!!!

      What great return will they get for him though? as he will be a UFA to that team as well. 

      If TML cannot sign him before July1 st, they will be screwed

    73 pts reg season + point per game in the first round...where has this version Brandon Montour been the whole time?

  4. Neil HD

    Hmmm...Islanders win with 5 goals scored tonight, but no points for Horvat. Shouldn't have put $7 on him

      @Alflives I'm not convinced that it's a bad trade so far. Horvat's had a very poor playoff series, but his faceoff percentage came as advertised. Horvat's also got his SHG touch (albeit at a meaningless time of the game). This is obviously a learning curve for him.

      Yes, Bo is doing the “Little Things”.

      If I were an Islanders fan, I'd give him a mulligan on this year.  No excuses next year though

  5. Neil HD

    Not a fan of Linkin Park pivoting to AI-generated music videos. Only about half of "Lost" is pleasant on the eyes, the rest looks like a cheap anime filter. But not surprising when you consider that Mike Shinoda is entrenched in the NFT grift

    Good news: only 4 more games of Tyler Myers left this season

    Bad news: only 4 more games of Elias Petterson left this season

      extra bad news...once Myers is gone we can count the years left in Ekman-Larson contract!!!

    Thinking back on it, Gillis really should have just given Willie Mitchell the two-year deal he wanted. Then we could have saved the assets from the Keith Ballard trade and used them elsewhere.

      No good forwards, which is what we needed, were available at the time. 

       

      I agree that holding onto Mitchell as our 3LD would've worked out well. We win the cup in 2011, we do well in 2012 and then we start rebuilding in 2013. Changes the whole trajectory of our franchise with one move. 

    3. Dazzle

      @Alflives Why do you keep parroting the same ideas without going into detail with them?

      The Keith Ballard trade was an absolute disaster from Gillis. He himself bought Ballard out later lol.

      20/20 is hindsight.  Maybe Jim Benning should'nt have given that *UNINSURED* contract to Ferland because of *SAME* injury concerns.  Kings could afford to take that chance on an *UNNSURED* contract seeing as *at the time* they weren't going anywhere performance wise (remember they *DID* fire their head coach not that long after Mitchell arrived in LA).

  8. Neil HD

    Want to see change? Stop going to games, stop buying team merch and products. Resist the urge, and encourage your friends and family to spend money on literally any other entertainment

     

    It can only get better when Aquilini has to sell the team to minimize losses. If you're even remotely afraid a new owner will move the team, don't be. A leader even slightly smarter than Aquilini will not see the planning, time and cost of a new location as worth the investment, not when most of the ingredients they need to succeed already exist here.

  9. Neil HD

    If Boeser can't fire off those rocket wristers anymore, he needs to adopt Tyler Toffoli's playstyle and score dirty, close-range goals like the one today

  10. Neil HD

    Demko needs to be shut down for the rest of the year, even if he's supposedly healthy.Not only will he overexert himself because of our garbage defence, but now I simply don't trust that the medical staff is allowed to diagnose and treat injuries without pressure from Aquilini

    I'm low-key furious that the Canucks are so cap-****ed that we likely won't get to keep Kuzmenko long-term

      Well it’s not just Kuzmenko. Management is forced to make moves now. There’s no way around it. I’ve been on a heater about non-moves myself but until we see how it all plays out we can’t guarantee one way or the other. There’s players on this team with cap that other teams should see value in 

    3. VforVasili

      VforVasili

      Gives management some great options to trade someone to make space for him and get some assets or trade him for assets at the deadline. Not sure I understand why anyone would be mad he has turned out to be great?

      stupid to worry about things we can't control. allvin will do what he has too. i'm sure if he could trade OEL, myers or even miller, he would do it.

  13. Neil HD

    Legend has it, if a Canuck executive says the word 'rebuild' 5 times in front of a mirror, Frankie Aquilini appears behind them

      Our owner steers the ship and refuses advice from his GM/President that takes steps back.

  14. Neil HD

    Opponents: *start to climb back from being behind in the game*

    Canucks: "Guess I'll die, then"

  15. Neil HD

    Is anybody else wondering how we missed the boat on Tyler Motte? I'd pay him $1.5M just to make our penalty kill respectable

    Also, if Kuzmenko turns out to be the real deal, do we trade someone like Boeser for that top 4 RHD to partner with Hughes or OEL?

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Motte is not the answer. Great work ethic. But in 2 games for Ottawa he's 0 points and -1.

  16. Neil HD

    Does anyone feel bothered by Sony putting out a movie as terrible as Morbius, only to get financially propped up thanks to the memes about it?

    I am, because Sony will never again feel the need to put in any solid effort or planning for other movies like Kraven. And if they reboot Spider-Man again, those films will be a black mark on some actor's career, just like they did to Andrew Garfield.

      Oh def, don't get me wrong I'm thrilled to get more of the characters we love, I'm just apprehensive after how they bungled up Luke's story in the latest trilogy.

      Sony giving us movies we don’t want with characters that can’t hold their own for solo movies.

      Well, guess I was wrong to feel concerned. At least the Internet was generally smart enough to not buy tickets to the re-release.

    So with no more Canucks season after tomorrow, who will you support this playoffs and why? I'm going with Calgary. Still a fan of Tanev and happy that he hit career highs in games played and total points. Love him more than I hate any of the other Flames. Also Markstrom and Toffoli are there too, so that's nice.

      Flames all the way. They've suffered for years in the pergatory of not being good enough for playoffs and not bad enough to draft high. 

    3. AngelicHearts

      Definitely one of the Canadian teams, but not sure which one yet. Maybe Calgary (:sick:).

      2 trains of thought:

      - Florida (they've had such bad luck over the years they deserve whatever they can get)

      - A Canadian team (we're long past due for getting a cup on home soil)

    Is it bad that I want to see Detroit lose every game against Canadian teams? I figure if Tyler Bertuzzi (as the only active player not vaccinated) wants to make his "personal choice" while dodging any questioning of it through the lens of science and public health research, he should be accountable for actively weakening his team's chances at victory. Just look at what he can do to opponents when he's actually there to play.

      While I think everyone should be vaccinated. I hate how this pandemic has divided some people. I don’t wish any bad will on the guy.

      I'd much rather see Detroit beat EDM, CGY, and WPG to help the Canucks in the standings.

      I take it back, that's better 

       

      Detroit will lose most of their games whether he plays or not 

  20. Neil HD

    In a season where the playoffs got pushed forward to mid-May, the Leafs still couldn't make it to June

    I really didn't like Bill Burr's Netflix stand-up special. Too much punching down for my taste.
