So is it that he's not a giant overly masculine man, or that his wife has short hair? I don't get it, just a guy posing with his happy family....
If you're following Ryan Whitney, I suggest you stop.
If you found the rape image he shared funny or acceptable and you follow me, I suggest you stop that too.
A reminder that league minimum salary is $750,000 US, which today converts to $1,031,099.77
The average Canadian income in 2021 was $59,300
In those 4 years an NHL player earns the equivalent of 69.55 years of a normal Canadian's salary.
A reminder that former NHL players don’t have paid health insurance benefits in retirement. Careers last on average 4 yrs, many are left at the end with partially broken bodies and must pay $30,000 annually to insure themselves and their families. It’s an abomination.
Matthews has 51 goals, no empty net goals, and 36 of them at even strength.
To put that in perspective. Number 2 on the list, Reinhart, has 39 goals total 13 of them are even strength.
Auston is just in a league of his own for goal scoring. It's not even close.
Let’s not forget Ullmark plays out his existing contract this year with a $5 mil cap hit. So, the Sens have a top goalie locked up for 5 years at an average of $7.6 mil. Slick work.
Every NHL player asked about Mo's response: Greig should have expected it.
DoPS: Greig had no reason to expect a hit was coming.
Parros would have murdered Greig for that move...
Mitch Marner takes more and more shit from
#LeafsForever
fans, but last night is why I still like him, and want him on the team.
- Four point night
- The reaction after Holmberg's goal
- Calling Holmberg his favourite NHL player during the interview
This kid is a good teammate
I keep hearing how much worse the Leafs forwards are.
We lost Bertuzzi... he was hot garbage most of the regular season and all of the playoffs, and losing him makes them much worse?
wtf lol
The Jets at 35% capacity have more fans in seats than the Coyotes at 100%. This is fucking ridiculous, anything to get Canadian teams out of the NHL huh Gary?
The NHL is "monitoring" the Jets. Meanwhile, the Coyotes could mail a ransom note to Gary Bettman telling him they kidnapped his puppy, and he'd give them another year to figure things out.
Calling it now.
Murray is recovered in time to pull a Bob in the playoffs and lead the Leafs to the promised land as a last hurrah.
Entire league loses their fucking minds, rules on playoff availability IMMEDIATELY changed.
There have been no setbacks in Matt Murray’s recovery, and he is doing well in his rehab.
"He's got a ways to go, but everything has been really positive in terms of no setbacks. He has been on track and things are going well” Treliving said
My goals for the
#LeafsForever
final 3 games
- 2 goals from Papi
- 4 points from Willy
- No one gets hurt.
That's it, that's the script. I honestly could not care less about anything else.
Leafs fans: Man 33 year old TJ Brodie really fell off a cliff.
Same Leafs fans: We need to trade assets for and extend 34 year old injury prone Chris Tanev.
It's always fun here. Just keep an eye on your crayons, they are a favourite snack in Leafs Nation.
A lot of people still offended that I have pronouns in my bio lol.
They aren't there because I care what you think, nor do I care what you call me
They are there, so those that have been abused and shunned for their gender identity know they have an ally they can be safe around
I am going to just say it, this Leafs team as it stands is better than last year's, by a fair margin. The addition of Tanev and OEL, and Lily having the summer to fully recover means the D can actually move the puck to the forwards. Something last year's crew was horrendous at.
Time for
#LeafsForever
season projections
- 112 points
- 1st in the Atlantic
- 2nd in the NHL
- Stanley Cup losers to Edmonton in 7
- Marner 128pts new Leafs record
- Matthews 105 points
- Nylander 101 points
- Robertson 27 goals
Bookmark it, call me out in June!
Fire Lou!
Fire Babs!
Fire Dubas!
Fire Keefe!
There has been one constant through all of this folks, and it ain't the players, GMs or coaches. Just saying.
#LeafsForever
Hyman had 5 goals and 13 points in 32 playoff games as a Leaf. He had none in elimination games.
Fan logic: We gave up on him too soon.
Marner has 11 goals and 50 points in 57 playoff games.
Fan logic: he's never going to be better than this.
The
#LeafsForever
are fine, let's stop saying "if they make the playoffs" They're 1 point behind TB for 3rd with 3 games in hand. They're 6 points up on losing a playoff spot at all with a game in hand on all the teams below them in range.
They're fine.
This is an indictment of the cost of tickets at the SBA and the people that buy them. Leafs fans are passionate and loud, they just can't get tickets for home games.
I wanted to say this earlier, but I didn't want to jinx it. The best part about Sammy tonight was he looked dialed. No matter where the puck went he knew where it was, even weird bounces he tracked. He needed this.
#LeafsForever
If Matthews averages 1.5 goals per game for his remaining 30 games he will end the season with 93 goals.
Don't @ me, I don't care. I say he does it. :D
#LeafsForever
Look, Bert can't do this, we all know and admit that.
But Marchand is making a laughing stock of
@NHL
officiating and they just keep falling for it. At worst this should be coincidental minors. Bert for the slash, the rat for the embellishment.
I actually thought this should be a thing when this happened, but did not realize that it IS a thing, that the
@NHL
officials ignored. Great night for that reffing team huh?
The whole Leafs line throwing up their hands made it obvious it was intentional.
I know the Maple Leafs won and it doesn’t matter now, but mhmmmm, interesting.
By the rule book: Toronto should’ve been awarded a penalty shot in overtime tonight.
#LeafsForever
The
#LeafsForever
the only team in the league that can go 8-2-0 in their past 10 and have the "homer" broadcast talk about them having to get back to their winning ways lol
Laine getting hurt sucks but this was not intentional. It was a penalty for sure, but not malicious.
He doesn't "stick his knee out". Laine moves at the last second, Pare shifts his weight to try and hit him, doing that means his left leg has to shift too.
Knies just keeps getting better. I was worried everyone was overhyping him before he got here, and he's not the Matthews comparable many were making. But he is a gamer with an edge. Gotta love that from a 57th overall pick!
#LeafsForever
Absolutely nothing wrong with this goal. Not one thing. Didn’t realize there was a ‘right way’ to score. If you don’t like the way we scored on the empty net maybe don’t be put in a situation where you’ve got to empty the net to begin with.
#SENSWIN
!!!
Being a Leafs fan near the deadline kinda sucks.
Yesterday we had two trade ideas in intermission.
Kyper: Crouse. Career 0.390ppg -49 3 more years at $4.3m BUT HE'S BIG!!
EF: Parayko who gives a shit about the stats FIVE more years at $6.5m BUT HE'S BIG
Fuck all the way off
I am just going to get my Marner opinions out of the way now. July 1st you offer him the exact same deal. It is 100% fair value for both of them.
#LeafsForever
Would Xhekaj have given Reaves a better fight than Pezzeta? Yeah probably.
Now, was Xhekaj in the game and did he take a cheap run at a Leafs player? No.
Not rocket surgery folks.
So Leafs nation doing exactly what I expected this morning. One unfortunate play by two gassed players turns into everyone is shit with no heart.
Never change
If this was 6 games, Gallagher should get 10. At least Spezza had an argument that Pionk was going down while he was coming in for the hit, resulting in the knee to the head. Gallagher just straight up intentionally chicken winged Pelech to the head
I was born 133 days after the
#LeafsForever
lifted their last cup. There are a few of you that have waited longer, but not many.
I'm going to choose to believe in the team until they are out officially. I get why fans are mad and giving up, and don't blame them. It's just not me
An organization that traded what turned out to be Seguin and Hamilton for Kessel (and I love Phil), apparently made a worse move by letting a guy that did shit in the playoffs and topped out at 21 goals for us was their biggest mistake.
Take a break Chris, you're drunk.
Looking back, I'm not sure the
#leafs
have ever made a bigger mistake than letting Zach Hyman walk away. That's an all-timer the organization never recovers from.
Willy Styles
First 17 games 27 points
Next 3 games 0 points
Last 13 games 21 points
Points in 32 of 35 games
14 multi point games
On pace for 119 points
3rd in scoring
What's the hold up Brad? This isn't the guy to play hardball with.
#LeafsForever
William Nylander: "The games are crazy to watch from home. I’ve never been so nervous in my life, but I think the guys are doing a great job & tomorrow’s a big game."
Is he playing?
"I don’t know. We’ll see."
@TSN_Edge
Not going to quote tweet this, but I am going to call it out.
Imagine being a lottery team every year when you're supposed to be done your rebuild, and you're actually claiming to be happy in May because the Leafs are out.
Hate it or not, this is the definition of rent free.
Morning all, hope you have a great day!
I'd like to ask a small favour. Today my Dad goes in for surgery to remove, hopefully, the last of his cancer. It's pretty major and he'll be there 7 to 10 days.
If you could please just keep him in your thoughts, or so a little prayer ❤️
Leafs have made the playoffs every year since Matthews rookie year.
Since Stutzle entered the league the Senators were:
20-21 - 23rd
21-22 - 26th
22-23 - 21st
23 - 24 - Currently 28th, 19 points out of a playoff spot with 23 games left to play.
Dennis Hildeby gets jabbed by Bokondji Imama after the second period ends and the entire
#Marlies
team doesn't like it.
Kyle Clifford comes in flying and drops the gloves with Imama.
The number of people angry at last night's challenge by the Leafs, and making up reasons to be angry about it is hilarious.
It's more hilarious because most of them aren't even Calgary fans.
If you need to understand why the Ted Lindsay is more impressive to me than the Hart, look no further than this.
Let's forget:
- 50 even strength goals
- His Selke level defense
- The level he is already at was last done 2 years before he was born
Just embarrassing from Frank
His peers think he is in the running for the Lindsay. A bunch of couch potato writers don't think he is in the running for the Hart though.
Honestly, if I were a player, the Lindsay would be the one I wanted anyway.
You gotta be unbiased here.
When McDavid hits 100 assists he will be the 3rd player in the history of the league to do it.
If Kuch hits 100 assists he will be the 4th player to do it
If Matthews hits 70 goals he will be the 9th player to do it.
So here is the thing.
Having Reaves in the lineup didn't stop Rempe from the cheap hit on Lyubushkin. This is the fallacy of enforcers.
I applaud him for taking on Rempe for it, but it didn't change anything. And no, Rempe is not going to "think twice" next time.
We finally know William Nylander's exact words from his viral moment showing his frustration with Mitch Marner on the bench during the game, after the whole thing was mic'd up in his episode on Prime with David Pastrnak.

#LeafsForever
McMann - Matthews - Marner
Knies - Tavares - Nylander
Bertuzzi - Domi - Robertson
Steeves - Kampf - Holmberg
Reasoning:
- You have to reward McMann
- Bert, Domi and Robertson were fantastic last game
- Reaves has been better, he still brings nothing of value
Full 60 minute game
Shoutout for Sammy
I thought Timmins and Benoit were great
Don't ask me to pick a worst Leaf tonight, there wasn't one.
#LeafsForever
I wish the end was different for TJ, he was our best D for a long time there. If he moves on I wish him nothing but the best, guy deserves some good things.
As
#LeafsForever
assess HC options, roster decisions could begin soon after a coach is hired. I'm told they've expressed interest in bringing back Tyler Bertuzzi. However, one player not likely back is TJ Brodie, who's expected to test the UFA market.
Thoughts on the
#LeafsForever
deadline acquisitions so far.
Lyubushkin - Not what we needed, but an okay fill in I guess.
Dewar - Didn't even know he existed, but I think he fills a hole Kerfoot left with more physicality.
Edmundson - Still do not get it, probably won't...
Honestly not that fussed by this loss. The
#LeafsForever
were by far the better team. One bad shift in the first was really the difference, well that and Shesterkin being ridiculous. At least they got goalied by perhaps the best goalie in the league. Bring on the Lightning.
