And one more thing to ponder:

Last night's game was on St. Patrick's Day.

Would it really have been so hard to throw the Leafs in their St. Patricks uniforms, and put the Habs in a similar vintage jersey?

Talk about a wasted opportunity.

I should never come home from a Leafs game with money still in my wallet.

Money in the pocket. .not getting the best hooker. .wasted opportunity

JT will need around 10 mil thereabouts.
Jvr could sign for 5.8 ~ 6.5 mil if term is given
Depends on the cap numbers I guess


oh just thinking that Nylander would need a new contract also
Nylander will cost at least 5 mil ish range to sign if not more methinks.

Sooooooo...

Steve Simmons wrote this:

What no one saw coming: Curtis McElhinney is 9-4-1 for the Leafs with a .931 save percentage. Previously, he had won 40 of his last 94 starts.

So here's a question to ponder: is it possible that the Leafs' defence is better than we think?

I sincerely doubt the guy simply got better this year.

Yes, the Leafs give up a lot of shots - but how many of them are quality chances?

Any chance the defence is making him look better than he actually is?

Discuss.

Wasn't Simmons the dude that Leafs should trade Matthews when the Leafs went 5-0 during his first injury?

Steve Simmons is still an idiot

JT stays in NY if both picks land top 3. Wouldnt that be something.

Let-It-In is a terrible goalie.

And they're stuck with him in net because Bishop left the game hurt.

Simmons trolls for hits and knows saying poop about the Leafs keeps his job.

Also, he's wrong. Know who saw McBackUp doing well? Leafs management.

Howard Booger is just as bad as Simmons. Makes you wonder if both their parents were first cousins

Good point. I think they didn't wait for him to clear waivers like they did with Pickard

Then signed him for 2 more years.

Winterpeg is really fortunate to not be losing this game.

Too bad

Calgary has a chance to make the playoffs. Interesting race out west.

I can't believe they are bringing back Matthews and Andersen for Tuesday. What's the rush?? Let McBackup play in Tampa and in Nashville. Then bring back Freddy and Matthews at home Saturday night for the stretch run. I don't get it at all.
