I'd rather have this roster and need some defensive depth, grit and and a backup than have just those things and be looking for a Matthews, Marner, JT, Nylander, Rielly and Andersen. Ww already got the impossible part.

The difference is St. Louis won. The Leafs haven't won a thing yet.

The point is you don’t need to mould your game after the cup winning champs every year.

Half of it is luck and getting hot at the right time...ffs any team can win the cup in hockey or at least go far.

Just build a good team with an identity and stick with it. If you are good enough and everyone buys in? You are half way there.

Nah...I'd like to see him there.

Oh c'mon with hate like that a playoff series would be bomb. But they are likely to be in 9th seed this year, too bad so sad.

Canes finished 11th and picked up Svechnikov 2nd overall in 2018

Very long odds on that. The could also draft a great player outside of the top ten. But generally the middle of the standings is the worst place to be.

He's gonna be great. Really hope a Western Conference team gets him.

Detroit.

Bettman will make sure of this.

The blues didn't win until they won, but the blues are evidence of how you win.

Of course!

Until a team wins this year in another way.

i'm still glad for the Blues winning the Cup.

Bozak won the Cup and Marchand didn't.

That's a very good thing.

The Bruins had a pivotal non-call on a Bozak slew foot go against them and Marchand ended up crying. Sometimes the hockey gods are just.

Will the Blues follow the Blues’ formula? If so, they’ll win for sure

He’s still won one and his name is on the cup

Gallagher, Drouin, Armia, Byron

Which means our only top 6 winger left is Tatar.

Basically the equivalent of losing Glasshews, Snakevares, Marner and Overratedlander to long term injuries all at the same time. Not very many teams in the league have the depth to overcome significant injuries such as that and it's not like the Habs are getting smoked in games. They've been in most of their games still and even dominated a majority of them. The most frustrating thing is losing 1-goal games in regulation. You need to at least be able to get that loser point if you plan on making the playoffs when you get healthy again

Derp of the Year?

I still hate him and that's probably one of my favourite quotes of all time. I mean, it's hella cheesy and he had to know that he'd be mocked for it, especially considering it was him who said it.
