Lots of good adjustments from the coaches so far. Pulling PP1 quickly after two botched entries gave PP2 time to cook.

Jarnkrok! Utah is weak against Swedish righthanders on the PP

Willy bailed out Marner there

Adjustment 44-51 2-25

Willy PP pew pew

No drop pass and no bump out to Tavares on the wall = good chance for Tavares on PP

There is no forward line that can not just get absolutely filled in when those two are behind them.

I like how Holmberg has carried and handled the puck since the break

A bit too loosey goosey, Marner. Good backup goaltending though

Utah PP clicking really well recently: good puck movement around the box, and no BS drop passes on entry.

Do we have enough time to transplant Holmberg’s legs and back onto Pacioretty

Defending Marner by making him sound like a super sensitive pissbaby?

NHL PED testing seems almost designed to catch nothing https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25317435/why-there-more-ped-cases-nhl Panthers’ blueline now sports two defensemen who’ve been caught for PEDs (Schmidt when he was with Vegas).

Yes. If the testing completed earlier last week, the Panthers would’ve had 8.5M of free cap space for the deadline.

I think I would be more viscerally against the concept of it two or three years ago. Now is a bit different. If the former Avalanche in question was Makar instead I think we would’ve shot 5 firsts out the door. Rantanen hedges against the Marner hole next season...

Whoa nelly (can it be 40 games?)

My eyes bugged out when I heard it. No one in the insider space is refuting it and most are repeating it. It’s almost on par with the eventual package of Stankoven, 2x1sts, 2x3rds, so it’s only insane in terms of what the Leafs could afford to do. Short term pain for long term gain of the...

The conversation about the potential trade is not the big deal: fairly standard tire kicking, due diligence stuff. The real story is the Leafs kept pushing to try to get Rantenan even though acquiring him would've cut them off from addressing C and D needs. Like, they really offered basically...

Carolina and Toronto engaged in a conversation around trading Rantanen. Carolina's initial ask was Marner for Rantenan. Leafs wanted Rantanen long term and were ready to go up to 12-13M x 8. Leafs asked Marner if he'd waive his NMC for Carolina and he said no, so Leafs pivoted to offering...

None of that sounds remotely like the Leafs playing games with Marner. They've treated him very well, and it's really not on the organization that his inner circle keeps finding things to feel victimized about. It's quite rich for them to try to tamp down on negative Marner stories in the media...
