The important thing is that the Leafs are now run by people who will listen to the loudest fans and are more likely to be available to legacy media

you can debate all the other pieces you might want to shuffle, but this team is premised on Auston Matthews being a superstar, and we're now coming up on a year and a half of him being just Very Good. if this is who he is now, this version of the team is over and the Leafs have to act accordingly.

Incredible that this hasn’t been dominating Leafs coverage for the past two years.

Moritz Seider ranks among NHL D-Men this season:

#1 in GAR (#2 among all skaters)
#2 in xGAR (#10 all skaters)
#3 in Net Rating (#4 all skaters)

Get on the MVP/Norris bandwagon before it’s too late folks

Yes you read that headline right - MVP, not the Norris Trophy.

Only here to complain about this effing Leafs team. There’s less talent on the squad of course but they are also slower, less defensively stable and more error-prone than last season. Sad season so far.

Der Sinn „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten ist es übrigens nicht „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten, sondern Mittel in die Hand zu bekommen gegen jede einzelne Person, die einem nicht passt, vorzugehen mit der Behauptung sie sei Teil „der AntiFa“.

Well, I wouldn’t blame the regular hockey fan for not knowing more than one player on this roster. And the one is also only a bit more known because of his association with the Leafs. If they can squeeze more than a couple of regular NHLers out of this we as fans should be happy.
Rookie Tournament Roster is set 👀

Seit 2005 wird Empathie an dänischen Schulen und Kindergärten unterrichtet. Das Modell scheint erfolgreich zu sein, denn Dänemark ist eines der europäischen Länder mit den niedrigsten Mobbingraten.

As countries across the world turn to renewable energy, there is a chance for a deep reordering of the earth’s power systems, in every sense of the word “power,” offering a plausible check to not only the climate crisis but to autocracy.

In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Buying low on a 96 PDO player who can pass the puck around is a good bet. Now all that needs to be done is to convince Berube to actually use this non-physical entity in his lineup.

Tavares and McCabe both signed well under market value, Knies signs into one UFA year ahead of July 1, Matthews and Nylander signed as pending UFAs (one before the season, one before the trade deadline). Everyone that's in TO generally wants to stay and makes it work. Except one.

That Tavares contract (4 x $4.38M) is another Leafs homer discount. We projected him at $7.6M on a 4 year term if re-signing with the Leafs. Tavares is still quite good at his age - this is an incredible contract for the Leafs

Honestly, the Panthers are just a very very good hockey team. I don’t want to respect them, but in terms of talent you kind of have to

It ain’t over till it’s over. Also: time to change those effing narratives. Go, Leafs.

Based on the replays we’ve seen, it looked like a forearm to the back of the head with the intent to injure from my perspective.
As a goalie, what was your thoughts on the Bennett / Stolarz incident.

Go, Leafs, go. Now, don’t just falter again in the next round.
