I can't believe how many public rinks in Toronto are closed right now because they are 'covered in snow'. Where'd the shovels go at?

RIP John Candy. Love the SCTV colab!

Have you ever seen a more 1980s video than this?

Phil Donahue and Ladysmith Black Mambazo singing in the same franking song.

He was right probably about 75% of the time, but he just could never admit when he was wrong 25% of the time.

It was really sad how he felt he needed to defend to the death any stupid thing he wrote.

Alot of things he said did end up being correct, which added to the rage of some.
But it did go on for pages and pages.
Too many pages

Let's move on from the Ek talk. It was a nice walk down memory lane but time to get back to trades

so when do you think kylie pulls the trigger on poon jenner?🤔

today or tomorrow?👊🏿😍

So when I looking at Kasperi Kapananen's underlying numbers following his visit to waivers, I found something that really stood out - something we all know about him: He has a decent number of Corsi events (shots toward the net), but a lower number of actual shots on net (these shots are blocked or intercepted or go wide at a higher than average rate) and a very low number of individual HD chances generated. It basically looked like someone who plays too often on the perimeter, or (knowing his speed) enters the zone, but holds up near the blue line and tosses the puck towards the net with little follow-up.

What I found interesting is that despite my thoughts that Max Domi would be a good addition to the Leafs, and my belief that perhaps he find his passion here - his name was right near Kapanen's in the same lists that I was looking at every time - so a similar player in many ways. Domi's one difference is that I do know he tries to setup Kane more than shoot or drive the net, but he is not frequently in the dirty areas.

He might not have been a good addition afterall.

Might be a 3pm deal on Friday. Cross your fingers.

Not everyone goes hard to the net like Nylander.

Agreed.

I don't want to get any grey eye glances from the mods today.

Now we can stop the Domi talks. Lafferty is 10x better (cause he's a leaf)

I'll save the bans for deadline day. Although that's less of a threat for leaf fans now. THANKS DUBAS

No, don't you understand how this works?!? Anyone the Leafs get was a clear overpay.

Everyone has turned lazy since covid.

Mirtles salary cap gymnastics piece on Dubas had him peg Bunting in next year at a 4 million per cap hit.

Discuss. 👀

A prominent blogger on this website said Chickenrun could be headed to Caps, Pens, Sens, Hurricanes, or Oilers. Six minutes later, posted the Leafs are still in on him. You can't make this stuff up...

I've been hearing a lot of those teams too. The 2 extra years is really helping sell him. Caps have no D-men beyond this year so would make sense.

That's exactly what I was going to say, but I've kinda been warned to lay off this blogger who shall not be named

Tampa jumped the shark on Jeannot. Leafs did waaaaay better with their assets. Even if Jeannot turns out to be another Nick Paul, it's still a steep price to pay for a guy whose main talent is punching helmets.

Leafs will beat Tampa this year and run up against the Bruins. I hope they beat the Bruins and go all the way, but Boston seems almost unbeatable this year if Ullmark keeps cosplaying as an elite goalie.
