Started very well, fell away a bit, undone by a dreadful call

I suppose the game had gone for ages with no penalty so the refs had to get involved somehow

My hope is that Laughton’s arrival will allow Domi to be given more appropriate assignments and probably a bit less ice time, which will hopefully put him in better positions to succeed and provide positive input. I felt he was being hung out to dry a bit and asked to fill roles that weren’t...

Someone put some spice on Domi’s pre game lunch

What a Willy pass

I guess in an 82 game season in a way it doesn’t *matter* to have one or two game of players basically winging it. I just think of the football (soccer) example where a player is signed they usually don’t play the next day. Plenty of examples of them not playing for a week or two even while the...

I’m in broad agreement and would say that it’s potentially the right players but the wrong time? Hopefully as alluded to in my last post they just kind of got shunted into existing spots cos there wasn’t much training time. Now they’ve had time maybe Berube will see options to move away from...

Two games, one of which they arrived on the day having never even met the team. I actually dunno why they got put into that game. Should have flown out and trained with the team on the road trip or possibly even to Toronto and had tonight as their first game. Seems to be a hockey thing.

Matthews, Marner, Rantanen, Nylander, Tavares, McDavid. That would have been a fun lineup in a couple of years even with no prospects or picks left 😂 Hope we can get someone else in place of Rantanen. Maybe we can coax Draisatl over this year to warm McDavid’s seat up.

I think they’ve done a decent job. I actually think hanging onto Robertson and Domi while having a much better 3c option will allow them to both be better deployed. Hopefully this particularly applies to Domi who I think could still be a positive asset in the right role. Robertson has shown...

I tend to avoid the score and put on the extended highlights first thing. I even turned the highlights off at 3-0 cos I could tell how this was going

Sundin never won it, but I still remember lots of things he did - especially the hat trick to get to 500 goals. But he also had playoff moments - the Carolina extra skater game 5 (or was it 6?) last minute elimination staving goal. I take your point, but there’s so much more to winning the...

Yet people don’t want to re-sign them all. We have 3 of the top 10 scoring Leafs OF ALL TIME on the roster at the same time. How can you not enjoy that? (Well, 2 of the top 5 top scorers and 2 of the top 10 goalscorers or whatever the actual precise version of my hyperbolic statement is)

I got stuck in the car park so I got home in time for the OT. At least I didn’t miss much…
