Whens that happening?

I usually throw it up about 2 weeks before opening puck drop - wait until most of the crap players are sent down to the Marlies.

I'm obviously insanely biased because I'm a Leafs fan, but with so many fans of other teams praying on the Leafs downfall with Matthews leaving, how (frank)ing incredible would it be if the exact opposite happens?!

Matthews re-signs long term and McJesus leaves Edmonton and comes to the Leafs.

We can always dream!

I'm not going to change my tune on liking Matt Murray. I don't. His last good season was when he was 24, in 2018-19 - but I will grant him this: he has had playoff success and some fantastic playoff performances. Last year, with .888 goaltending from Mrazek and Kallgren, the Leafs were a .667% team - which is a 109pt team. I am confident that Murray/Samsonov can be better than that, even if they might be at best league average. If Matt Murray can at least be a playoff performer - a clutch guy - then that's what we need.

Jack Campbell was excellent at times, and likeable. He was unable to step up and help the team when the team struggled defensively and his stats likewise suffered. Look, Andersen was a great goalie for 3 years, and then the defense started getting too porous - particularly in the high slot or around the crease. When they made changes to try and close off the rush chances, they were more effective - and so were the goalies. But when those didn't work, the goalies suffered. Andersen, I think, suffered initially from poor team play, and then a loss of confidence and injury. Campbell may have been the same thing, but he was never as good as Andersen.

My honest opinion is that Mike Smith was a much better NHL goalie than Campbell will ever be. Smith is gangly and awkward, but he was getting the job done better than Campbell in almost every statistical measure - on a team with equivalent or worse defense than Toronto. My Oiler friend is the happiest guy since they signed Campbell, but I sincerely have my doubts this is going to work out well for them.

Excellent post, as always.

Can't wait to see how it turns out for these guys.

It's right around the corner!

You have the link to the playoff one??

I believe I was the only one that called the Avs with Makar winning Conn Smythe.

going to happen, also JT91 will re-sign for 1 mil a season to play out his career with the leafs

Such a bold prediction huh?

Well then why didn’t anyone else predict it?

I've been saying this for years, and all of you called me a grumpy old man:

Cool. Cool cool cool.

- TurdFergeson

Well I can't speak for everyone but I personally dislike predicting the favorite is going to win. It's a boring pick and I get no pride from it when I'm right.

Of course it's a different story if money is involved. I tend to follow my brain then.

While I happen to agree with you, getting Marchand to agree with us isn't helping.

So I did that and saw a thread started by Craptaan. And it had this post-

Canucks have a Calder nominee in 3 consecutive years... Unparalleled since 67 expansion from what I've heard.

Who'll have the better top 3 players in a couple years Toronto with Matthews, marner, Reilly, or Vancity with Pettersen, Boeser, Hughes?

Bure / Smyl … love the steamer / Neely, and maybe it’s a conversation …

It got better - no sound on the video, so the 85 people in the meeting all felt the need to say "I don't have sound either" on the chat.

When what they all really meant was "can we get the (frank) out of here now"

Always been my mentality as well, which is why I've never been able to get on board with those who have such an issue with the Leafs slapping the C on JT instead of Matthews.

Throwing a kid to this market as captain would have been a terrible idea.

Unless they've drastically altered the schedule, I have a feeling Murray's shows his career numbers.
- Monkeypunk

I was gonna say, for an injured guy, the man has played ALOT last year.

Ugh I had one from last year and one from career....I'll re-do what a disaster that was.
lol

Guess that's one of the reasons he's not around these days.

Well, now that you've shown us that Brad Marchand the licking voice of reason thinks so, everytning has changed.

And you think having Marchand agree with you, strengthens your opionion?


(While I do agree to a certain extent as well)

Oh and fack Marchand.

About 7 hours till Judge ties Maris.

Why the hell are pitchers still pitching to him. Inside high every pitch, if its a strike - great, if a ball oh well - walk him.
