wife: can you ever stop thinking about the Leafs for like five seconds?
me: wtf of course i can
wife: ok so can you pick up the kids from school today?
me: you’re right our playoff hopes do really hinge on Jake Muzzin
Just got the results back from my colonoscopy. All looks good! Not gonna post the pictures tho, those are strictly between me, my gastroenterologist, and Mike Babcock
Breaking: the UHL has indicated that the 10 games of his suspension that Andrei Denyskin bought back will now be served by Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri
The Toronto Maple Leafs have 1 regulation loss in their last 17 games - if you find yourself bitching about them at this point that might be a you thing not a them thing
Canada:
Marner, Tavares?, Rielly?
USA:
Matthews, Campbell?
Sweden:
Nylander, Engvall
Czech Republic:
Kase, Kampf?, Mrazek?
Thats a lot of Olympians from 1 team
#LeafsForever
A reminder that if you sign Jack Campbell and James Reimer as your tandem you unlock the awesome power of the Care Bear stare at no additional cap hit. Just saying
I have teased Habs fans about him but I gotta tip my hat to Slaf - 6 points in his last 3 games is impressive stuff. That’s Bobby McMann-level production
Fans of Leafs: ~10,000,000
Fans of Coyotes: ~60,000
Value of Leafs: ~$1,500,000,000
Value of Coyotes: ~$285,000,000
Tell me again how Auston Matthews can’t wait to go play in AZ
how’s this for a take:
If Dubas has any suspicion that his job is riding on this year’s playoff success he doesn’t show this much restraint with trading futures.
His job is not riding on this year’s playoffs

#Kampf
at least four or five times a game Auston Matthews will be chasing someone three strides ahead of him for a loose puck and I’ll think to myself I wonder how he’s gonna dummy this guy and take the puck and then he dummies the guy and takes the puck
Pierre Engvall revenge game tn
Their zone will be exited
Our zone will be entered
The puck will be hitting Sammy in the crest
I’m getting choked up just thinking about it
Brad Treliving was in line in front of me at Timmy’s this morning. He inquired about every item on the menu but ultimately decided not to buy anything.
David Jiricek to The Athletic:
“I played good hockey in the NHL. I’m an NHL player right now. That’s my opinion, that I should be in the NHL right now. I see guys from the same draft, like Simon Nemec and Korchinski… they get a chance on the power play.

The Mitch situation is sad and a perfect case study in how to miss the forest for the trees in life. If he had signed ~ 8x6 he could have saved himself a whole lot of pain and hate. Hope he finds the marginal difference in wealth is worth the dramatically worse quality of life
If a clone of William Nylander was available this summer Leaf fans on here would be offering a package of William Nylander, a 1st, Nick Robertson and Fraser Minten to acquire him
Maybe unpopular opinion but I’m happy with where the leafs are at right now
We either mount the miracle comeback or we make seismic changes this summer and finally close the book on the Shanaplan
I’m excited for either scenario
Those of us ok with trading Mitch must admit 2 things
1-We will lose the trade on paper, likely badly
2-Mitch will go supernova with his new team
Both inevitabilities will sting
I still think it should happen. It’s what’s best for both sides. But pain is coming
Criticizing Willy on the GWG is staggeringly idiotic. Pasta wasn’t his man and he’s not supposed to abandon his position to chase a puck carrier who’s already well beyond reach. This isn’t timbits.
The Maple Leafs have never had 3 players as good as 34 16 and 88 on the same team and it’s hard to imagine they ever will again
We should try to enjoy things is what I’m saying
@the_habitant
Did you know Bobby McMann’s 13 goals in 26 games ties Goal Caufield’s most in any 26 game stretch of his career? I suppose it’s not as impressive cause Bobby is 6’2”, PKs and doesn’t sniff the PP but still… not too shabby
I’m all for giving Atlanta another shot at an NHL franchise but I do think there are some Canadian markets that are more deserving of NHL caliber teams. Ottawa and Montreal come most immediately to mind
**Potential Expansion Update**
👀 I’m told word on the street is that the South Forsyth Project in suburban Atlanta including an Arena, is all ahead full speed with the design moving quickly and interviews for builders taking place.

Oh great now I’m remembering Bonsie has a son which reminds me that he’s had sex which makes me wonder if he yelled holy mackinaw as he reached climax.
Just great. Thanks a lot.
Leaf fans - myself included - have dunked a whole lot on habs fans about Slafkovsky. It’s been justified and fun, but enough is enough.
We have more productive things to do with our time - like, for example, dunking on them for drafting Reinbacher over Michkov
