Leafs win :siren: :toot:



Leafs have been coming out strong and coasting lately and I don’t like it, but it’s hard to complain.

Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

If the Flyers did fire AV, you guys know who the interim coach would probably be, right? :heysexy:

Giroux and Voracek would still fetch good pieces I think. JVR probably moreso still, especially if Philly retains.
They're in a good spot to flip for youth but AV is absolutely loving gutting the kids he has to go

The whole team hasn’t been the same since they were delayed from COVID protocols. That really shouldn’t be an excuse since other teams have had the same struggle but everyone must have contracted hockey amnesia too. They have zero defensive awareness, absolutely no breakout other than fling the puck off the boards and hope a forward gets it and of course no offense because the aforementioned breakout is poo poo. gently caress this dumb team. They broke Hart, sweet sweet Carter Hart.

Absolutely not included in the Canucks offseason plans last year was the thought that they'd have to sign Demko to a big money long term deal, yet inexplicably they made that the first move of this offseason. If they'd waited two months was their any chance Demko would've cost more? If not, why bother signing him before knowing what Petterson and Hughes will set the team back (something they should've sorted out a year ago). This team has literally zero concept of long term planning or financial prioritization.

It's not like someone was going to come along and offer sheet a fuckin goaler.

They could have given him a one year deal and then paid him whatever the gently caress next offseason when all the garbage starts to come off the cap.

It's very chiarelliesque

Iirc AV likes the delegate the locker room to vets to manage. Wasn't there a tweet a few weeks ago that there's a divide between the kids and vets in Philly?

Considering there’s three other 80s Oilers in the top 5 my assumption is he still had something to do with the ones he didn’t directly score
