Last year the Leafs were probably the better team. They certainly laid on the pressure in that game 7 but just couldn't buy a goal. That's playoffs, though. The weaker team can squeak through and go all the way off a few lucky bounces. On such a top-heavy team like Toronto, it's a nightmare to watch your franchise player throw punches and risk breaking their hand. If Pettersson or Hughes gets caught in a scrum, they should wrestle as hard as they can and get to the ground so the linesman can break things up. I think the only two who weren't fighting were Marner and Hedman. There aren't a lot of Leafs players who can match up well with Hedman. No point in blaming anyone here.

This is hockey reffing. You can cross-check a guy in the back three times but of they don't go down, it never gets called. It's totally illegal, though, and it's no wonder why players try to embellish getting hit. Slashing is the exact same thing. If I slash your skate nothing should happen, but it's totally illegal. It makes total sense for you to go down in "pain" and deservedly draw a penalty. But on the same day, you get phantom calls and make-up calls to make the game a complete mess. Draisaitl is stupid. He's still been Edmonton's best player by a wide margin, but he should know he doesn't have a great reputation with the refs. He's a moody, grumpy player and will lash out for no reason. Doesn't matter how soft it is - don't give anything they can punish you for.

There are over a dozen D-men in the league who do nothing but play offense and can't defend to save themselves. Bouchard, Barrie, Rielly, Karlsson, Klingberg... guess what they all have in common? They all have high player value. They're getting paid big bucks. Why is that? Why does the entire league seem to value these players? Doesn't that just make you look stupid? It's comical that you think Rielly should be in a press box on a day he scored at will. You'd think it would shut you up for once.

Flyers Interview Emilie Castonguay

Yes and no. We tend to lose our best personnel and the crap ones stick around. Who was that drafting guy we lost before Benning got fired? -
You wouldn't be the only one who thinks that way, but I think it's wrong. All the talent is coming from the East this year. That side is completely stacked with juggernauts up and down the playoff bracket. Meanwhile, all the game ones from each Western matchup has been won by the underdog. In any case, think about all the famous rivalries and potential matchups we might get this year. All of them are going to come from the Eastern Conference. A Bruins-Leafs matchup sounds way cooler because of the history. I get why people like the newest teams. The new jerseys from Vegas and Seattle look awesome. But to say that old-school is boring? That's crossing the line. The Eastern Conference teams are indeed old. There's nothing inherently wrong with appreciating the beauty of the good old hockey game. There is a rich history to enjoy, and there's nothing wrong with people telling stories of a time long gone. One of my favourite all-time hockey videos is from 1967. Give it watch on a big screen. I like to try and name as many players as I can.
