Historically, Oleksiak has played limited minutes. He's been thrust into a much larger role this playoff and has been playing his best hockey.

Then again, the entire Dallas Stars squad has elevated their hockey this playoff and may actually hoist the Cup, Benn, for example, is having a renaissance.

For sure. He's been up, down, in, and out so far in his career. Still a lot better than Holl, whose not very good, though.

Yeah, Benn is playing fantastic hockey. If Seguin was playing as good as he's capable of, I think Dallas would probably win this series easy. I still hope Vegas wins, though, because I find their hockey more entertaining, which is all I care about now that the Leafs failed.

The jury is out with Holl. He's not a legit Top 4 D yet but I think he is progressing pretty well. Maybe he's going to plateau as a 3rd pairing guy, but maybe he turns into our RHD version of an Oleksiak?

Arse Holl got exposed in that series.

Bottom D at best.

Leafs were shut out in two games of a five game series. Hard to blame the defense when the offense scores 10 goals in a five game series against pathetic goaltenders. Inflict some damage, suffering, pain on the opposing goalie, maybe see better results. Freddie allowing a few floaters and dribblers didn''t help much either

I agree. The mix of players is completely off on this team.

Fix it Shanny

I know Marincin is bad, but that’s unfair to him.


Spicy P was obviously a flash in the pan.

Raps are left with Stinky P.

If Siakam was even average in the series the raps would have won

No one seems aware of the really mediocre D that are still in the playoffs. Jamie Oleksiak avg almost 22 minutes a night for Dallas. Oh my!

The problem is our D isn't even mediocre. It's shiit.

His footspeed is not, and won't ever be, top four NHL calibre. He is a 6-7 on an avg. defence, and doesn't even crack the top 6 on a D Corp like Boston's.

Love the look on George Harrison's son's face if that's the clip I think it is.
Amazing how much like his dad he looks.

Always loved this version of the song, I did try my best to attend. Harrison wrote some great songs. Prince did a fine job and was under rated as a guitarist. He's #33 on the Rolling Stones top 100.

Top 5 easy from my point of view. That's coming from someone who didn't really like his music much. But for sheer talent.... hard to beat.
