this is great.

2 things stand out for me

Marner + Tavares =
Willy last season was good at 5v5, and he will be again. but you need Willy + Auston

What's the consensus been? Does Bergeron attempt to shut down AM/Kap or Marner/Tavares?

I apologize for typing this, as I am surely cursing it, but Weir even through 16.

Easy... they already suspended him back when the issue actually happened, and the NHL is a corporation not a court. The fact they make up the policy on an individual basis unlike other leagues is going to be an issue. Voynov did his time for the crime and is allowed to work and move on. You can hate the guy, the guy is a pos for doing such, but at the end of the day he was guilty, did his time for the crime, and so the league to act as a secondary means of judge, jury, executioner is quite a bit beyond their scope. Expecting an arbitrator to hammer Bettman yet again, much like what happened with Watson.

And the PA job is to represent their players, so not at all surprised they would do this and appeal that.

Fair enough.

I think he started really good last year, too. Or the year before. Either way, he fell apart entirely.

I DO enjoy the fact that as we think about this... Kadri/Nylander is next in line... definitely a better problem to have than last year.

Lifetime entry into the Masters.

For the other 51 weeks a year, he plays Golden Tee at the O’Tooles in Sarnia.

Honestly the only way I think that he comes back is going to be to go to a small market quieter team where it won't be a distraction. Guy can play, but you don't want to go into say Toronto, NY, Montreal where the media will be all over it constantly and it becomes a huge distraction. Will be bad enough say in Phoenix, or Florida etc.

Will be interesting to see where and how that goes, but don't want the guy near the Leafs. Too big a distraction and headache.

I thought the San Jose game was the worst.

Pavelski got a penalty for a guy skating into/over him when he got knocked down. He did nothing.

- GreatGigInTheSky


I agree. It was a bizarre crapfest. Whether it was the missed high stick, ignoring blatant cross-checks from behind, or charging body checks - OR the sudden turnabout to start calling borderline to nonexistent infractions.

That was a tough one to watch.

So, what you're saying is . . . if he wants to beat his domestic partner he should do it in the mid-west?

. . . Sorry. I'm kidding.

Everyone knows that's what Florida is for.

4-2 Leafs in the dying minutes of the third period, refs award 3 goals to the Bruins just to make their universe right.
