Honestly I'm a lucky guy, she could do better but I'll take it.

In all seriousness her family means a lot to me now to so actually being a part of it in this way is profound. I'm a gen Xer and never been married so goes to show you never know.

I'm pretty sure this means the Leafs will win the Cup this year.

Saw this on twitter / X and hard not to like it & add Grebenkin to the mix.

Maybe they look at a better option at 3C at/ near the TDL but even if not this isn’t bad at all - one might even say it’s quite good?

Trade Robby though - it’s time.

Knies-Matthews-Marner
Pacioretty-Tavares-Nylander
Domi-Minten-McMann

Top-9 is locked in

Lots of competition for playing time on Line 4 with Lorentz, Dewar, Holmberg, Reaves and Robertson

STOP YELLING AT ME!

Lol. I said trade him.

The twitter post has him listed at fighting for bottom line minutes.

Total waste of him as a 4th liner and maybe even 3rd liner. He’s too small and skilled and imo needs to be top 6 to be successful but he’s too far down the depth list here.

Ya we've seen these projections based on internal improvement or players "returning to normal form" before. Cannot count on that.
Get two bats, a legit starter, and bullpen....project higher than 85 93 wins.

well its more like Bo, a career 125 ops+ is not suddenly an 80 (last season he was 71)
the 5 good seasons are more of an indicator than the 1

If there's one thing Buffalo will not stand for, it's a two goal lead.

We just need the Islanders to go into a tailspin, and then we can conclude it’s a New York State problem.

Don't underestimate a good loooooong engagement too. I strung that part out for about 3-4 years to buy me some more time.

Congrats!

I think Drury accidentally nuked his team.

Trouba wasn't a dressing room cancer. He was well liked by his teammates by all accounts I'd read. Krieder is exceptionally well liked by all teammates.

Drury publicly announces that he wants to trade Trouba and Krieder and then does Trouba dirty. Like him or hate him, that's dirty pool - and players take note.

You ever lose faith in your boss - or really your boss's boss? You feel like the leadership couldn't give a rat's ass about you at all. It permeates everywhere. I know you're not really a baseball guy, but I can tell you that one of the biggest problems with the Toronto Blue Jays is that it's a clubhouse divided - more than half the players in that room hate Atkins. A few don't care and are angry at the ones who hate him. There may be a couple who like him, but that part I don't know - I'm speculating on that. How do you get a team to gel when they are divided amongst one another on their own leadership?

I can at least liken it to one group I did work with at my company - they had this engineer who knew everything about the voice network back in the 90s - but he wasn't particularly likeable or personable. They let him go in a round of layoffs and all the other engineers who looked up to him - and maybe they knew almost as much, but they were all more likeable - were so disheartened that slowly they left the company - you had the "slow quitting".

That's what I think has happened to the Rangers.

They almost need to fire Laviolette just to create separation from Drury, but the smart play would be to fire them both. Drury has riding on Gorton's work for years.
