Interesting to note that Tkachuk has the same number of goals in the series as Marner and Matthews.

And don't forget the Leafs gritted out all those OT goals in the Tampa series.

😂 they were arguably outplayed by Tampa, got the bounces this year in the first round.

wonder where little Napoleon leaf's fan has been?

on paper they made good moves. They don't seem to have that "clutch" guy up front. To put a team on his back when needed.
- hello it's me 2050

That group of guys doesn’t have it, can’t fail 6 years in a row and then blame it on the other teams goaltending lmao

Same garbage under Hextall
Same garbage under Cuckles
Hak to Gordon to AV to Yeo to the arrogant SOB Torts.

Sorry, I have zero faith in this franchise. They still have Flahr overseeing the scouts. Dave Brown, Kjell Samuelsson and Barry Hanrahan are all still getting paychecks. I liked Briere as a player, but until a lot more heads start to roll and they start operating like a team that is truly rebuilding, I’m not buying it.

Ugh. I remember when Richards did the same thing to that guy on the Panthers and he was never the same after that. That’s a really violent hit.

Glad to see Tuch stand up for the kid

Is there a video? If it’s in the story, my phone hasn’t loaded that far.

I'm not too sure why you think Philly should have won the lottery? You had a miniscule chance, and if you had your pathetic franchise would have blown it anyway like they did with the Nolan Patrick pick. Passed on Makar and Heiskenen and Pettersen. Not too smart

I say this with all due respect...Go (frank) your mother!

I see Danny Boy making a trade to get Ross Coltons rights then a long term contract.
- hello it's me 2050

lmao. he is about done as an enforcer type. or is imo. he's been knocked out too many times now.

It amazes me how hindsight never fails people who claim to be smarter.

When the 7th pick is ready for NHL.TortS may be retired and living in Florida ⛱️ 😆

We continue to get connected to Oliver Moore in every mock draft I read.

Devils seems done ✔️ Hopefully Brind'Amour can come here when flyers have a comptetive roster. The 2 ex-flyers Krakstol & Brind'Amour really have their teams buying in. They are not depending on superstars.

Love his speed but I'm not sure he knows where he's going.

After the 2nd, ESPN cause a pretty big group leaving the Devils game. A couple even covered their faces.

Canes had the easiest road of all playoff teams. Got to give Krakstol credit. But he did play Vandevelde 82 games in a season here

Yeah but didn’t he put a 3 spot on assists in game 1, then the primary assist on the OT goal? I could be wrong. No the ot was bruins, it was the primary in the gw goal in game 2

Except for TOR/FLA, it’s amazing how many blowouts are happening in all the 2nd Round. Every other series. Kraken made a smart move getting Tolvanen off the wire. Any one of the other teams could have benefited by snapping up Martinook when he was there.

I just don't think you can give Tkachuk credit for OT heroics and attribute it to grit but not turn around and give the Leafs stars the same credit for their OT goals against Tampa.

The Athletic released a mock that has the Flyers taking Benson:

Collectively, imo the Leaf stars have been underwhelming. Mathews looks the most consistent and Marner has lagged behind him and the others. Willie looks all world for a period or half a game and then he’s not noticeable. Overall they seem to lack something intangible. I don’t know if it’s heart, will, consistency or urgency or something else but something is missing. Beating TB was impressive but not that impressive. TB has gone to the SCF three years in a row and that takes a toll. Hedman missed some time and wasn’t the same. TB wasn’t nearly the team it was two years ago. Like it or not the Fab Four will deservedly catch blame if they don’t make a competitive series. Wanna be the big dog then you gotta take the heat when you don’t come up big.

I’d be okay with that…I want only skilled, high upside prospects.

Bedard is still technically underage, so going to that franchise he should be plenty nervous. As for being blown, your franchise sounds like it is pretty adept at knowing how that is done, especially for young players. Bedard better keep his room locked and stay away from the trainers if you know what I mean.
