  1. PK here we go again. Boeser sure seems to have no jump yet. I hope he finds his legs soon.
  2. I think if they sign him before the expansion draft for next year, he’s not eligible to be picked by Seattle... I could be wrong on that. Anyway, I think the reason to get it done now is so he doesn’t get anxious waiting around and decide to sign with KHL one more year , as it starts before NHL, and then he’d be a free agent the following year. It feels like now or never.
  3. I’m thinking $2.5M x 2. Get ‘er done Benning!
  4. Agreed with those missing Petey. Our offensive weapons seem few and far between with Boeser stone cold right now.
  5. Looks like Boeser is with Horvat in hopes of getting Boeser going. He looked pretty flat the last two games. It’s like he’s been rocked by Covid or something.
  6. Frederick Anderson has been injured with a lower body injury for a long time now. So long, in fact, that he's taken to rollerblading with his buddies while he waits around. What's the hold-up of inserting him back into the roster? Cap issues, of course. Justine Bourne from Sportsnet even writes today "It also seems quite likely that they’ve asked him to “rest” as long as conceivably possible (right until playoffs?) for salary cap purposes, and that him agreeing to do so likely came with some sort of guarantee of not losing the net." https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/analyzing-torontos-turbulent-goaltending-means-playoffs/ Meanwhile, four days ago, Sportsnet writes about how the NHL will closely monitor teams taking advantage of LTIR cap advantages, with Sportsnet's Chris Johnston saying "I think what the league is saying is 'we're going to watch you closely. We can request medical records if we think there's any funny business, cap circumvention, that kind of thing going on here. .. I think especially any players activated just for Game 1 of the playoffs, there will be Spockian eyebrow raised from the league and that's something they intend to enforce quite forcefully." https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nhl-closely-monitor-teams-taking-advantage-ltir-cap-advantages/ So why isn't this a bigger deal for the Leafs? It's so obvious, their own media fan-club is writing about how they're taking advantage, and not one media person is calling them out on it. Meanwhile, Anderson keeps on rollerblading on.... What do you think about it?
  7. That was a great game tonight. Although Canucks need to work on shooting at empty nets! I'd love some kind of update on Petey. Is it even possible we may seem him soon? Juolevi looked strong again. I have no idea why he wasn't playing before. Canucks have a good energy right now and are playing desperate hockey. Love it.
  8. Anderson already is healthy, and they're not bringing him back in as cap circumvention. It's pretty shady, just like all their other moves.
  9. With the Habs' latest lost tonight, fate is back in the Canucks' hands. Before, we needed Habs to lose for us to make the playoffs. Now, technically speaking, we don't, so long as we continue to win the five games we have to catch up to them and match them the rest of the way.
  10. Two games... and we play Leafs for two more games. Coincidence? It’s a joke to me. 5 min major and game was plenty. It’s not Edler’s fault Hyman already had a buggered knee that was easy to snap.
  11. Why do they even have a hearing - NHL has already made up its mind. I felt the 5 min major and game misconduct was enough. Maybe if it has been a 2 min minor then he would have deserved a game suspension, but to me the penalty already given fit the crime.
  12. Toronto sports media really making a massive deal over Hyman injury and the villain Alex Edler. Honestly, Edler deserves no further disciplinary action after serving five minute major and missing half the game, but knowing it’s a Leaf who got injured, don’t be surprised to see a suspension.
  13. Could you imagine if the Habs end up with one more point than us at the end of the year? I think back to that one game where the refs (one from Quebec) were so horribly calling the Canucks game vs. the Habs game where they missed a high stick causing Myers to go down with a big cut, then Habs tie it up with like a minute left, giving the Habs an undeserved point before we beat them in OT.
  14. That’s all on the ref for calling the stupid Miller penalty and creating the long shift
  15. That honestly should have been a penalty for the Leaf. How did we get the call?
  16. I’ve seen 3 stick infractions by Leafs that could have been called last 2 minutes. Refs?
