It's also funny we sometimes talk poop about the leafs have so many holes and suck because they lose games. Yet people like Ray Ferraro see something different this year. In how they play, different mentality and he feels they have matured more.

A half and half mix in the post season would be great.

I do however think that they do need to visit the playoff layout tho, I mean out of 3 of the top 5 teams in the league from the Atlantic division only one makes it to the semi finals is a fail in my eyes.

But that being said it’s also getting the newer hockey fanbases to pay more attention throughout the entire post season I guess

Yes go back to 1 v 8, 2 v 7 etc

Damn. Internet is out. Storm maybe? It’s kinda nasty out.

Damnit Dubas. After years of letdown and collapse,and swearing I wouldn't get my hopes up again,you've gone and done it. Well done sir. However Keefe decides to shake out the roster, I think this i one is the most suited for playoff hockey I've seen in a long time. Maybe even back to the early 90's teams.

Just need Sammy to be decent. I have no clue what Murray would do if he gets back in.

Talent wise that makes the most sense

League growth wise however not so much

This year our holes have been goaltending and depth forwards.
Weve fixed the forward depth, goaltending is a question.

Oh

They don’t care about the team but they do care about McDavid

And your complaint is precisely what they’re trying to overcome. So unlike you they see it as an important thing to work on and not something to toss aside.

They want to grow the game in the US

Canadians will always watch

So unlike you they have other teams to prioritize

Guess again (frank)face

I don't understand why people don't like the playoff format. Very good teams play each. Rematches are more likely. Travel and therefore needless fatigue is reduced in early rounds. Where is the problem?

Oh FFS, it's official.

THEY FRANKING GAVE LAFFERTY #24, AND MCCABE #6!!!!!!!!!

Between this and giving Woll Carlton's #, somebody at MLSEL needs to be fired.

Someone is getting a promotion.

You'll find him wearing a black trenchcoat, a hat, and twisting his handlebar mustache near a distressed damsel obsequiously tied to railroad tracks.

Guess again (frank)face

Go easy on him…..

Gotta be hard for him to read his crystal ball when it’s up his a$$.

I see you’re being one of those argumentative versions of yourself tonight

The Americans will still care about the best player in the league. I’m willing to bet the NHL wishes both him and Matthews were on a US based team

Hey everyone its Bob

The NHL needs major market teams to do well. TML, NYR, Kings getting a few rounds in would be more useful than Edmonton, TBL, Carolina
- Canada Cup

Edmonton isn't a major market at all. McDavid does have appeal though

Leafs going all in for the same result as the Avalanche!
- Bobd62

I agree.

Samsonov has top 10 stats. How is this a hole? Healthwise, yes. Performance? Not really.

- Zezel

Isn't the point of playoffs to see the best teams? Shouldn't the best teams play closer to the end of the playoffs, and not get worse as they go along?

Regular season is useless if it doesn't provide you with a better seeding. It's the dumbest thing any league could do really IMO
