So I forgot an "o".

Holy frank, Gigsie.

We're about to enter the playoffs - everybody has to step up their game.

NO MISTAKES! NONE!

If we play Boston in the first round, you just know that little douche RJ is going to be circling in the neutral zone, just waiting to pounce on any little mistake we make.

It could be any little thing.

A typo.

Getting a player's number wrong.

Agreeing with a Tanner blog.

Don't think of these remaining 10 games as meaningless, Gigsie.

Think of them as playoff training camp.

Now drop and give me 20!

Media "Reality" - Matthews 12mil, Marner 10mil and Nylander 9mil

Real World "Reality" - Matthews 10mil, Marner 7.5mil and Nylander 6.5mil

- AdamFrench

Matthews will get more than $10mil... The cap is going up and that'll be almost an average salary in a few years.. not actually, but you know what I mean.

Media "Reality" - Dont sign Lucic, McDavid 12.5 mill, Draistl - 6.5- 7 mill

Oiler World "Reality" - Lucic 6 Mill until he's dead, McDavid 13.5 mill, Draistl 8.5 mill


- Archaic

I'm going to be brutally honest here:

I thought the Lucic signing was a good idea.

If the wind picks up in Boston I'm sure we'll hear about it. Maybe his lawn gnomes will fall over. Oh the humanity!

Matthews and Andersen shouldn’t play tomorrow. The Leafs need to end this 4 game winning streak or else UG can’t complain about something. It’s killing him inside to see the Leafs do well.

- TheMussel

We're past 70 games now - it's all just luck.

Saturday was pretty sweet.

Despite the Habs being in the toilet, the Habs fans in the crowd were hoping for the win - and the opportunity to be loud about it.

They showed spirit and moxie in the first period (I'm talking about the fans, not the team).

And then the 2nd period shut them the hell up.

There was a guy in my row wearing a Habs jersey - his wife/girlfriend was in a Leafs jersey. Buddy refused to pick up his drink whenever anybody walked by him - just told everyone not to knock it over.

So of course with 10 minutes left to go in the game, I accidentally kicked it over. I'm pretty pissed, because basic arena etiquette is you hold onto your drink. But whatever - I felt bad - it was a full G&T, so I'm guessing it cost him $2,199.00 at the ACC.

I apologize, offer to buy him a new one. But he's already drunk, and in a pouty mood. He won't even look at me - his girlfriend has to talk to me, tell me not to worry about it, and sorta gives me the silent hand signals that he's already loaded, so he doesn't need another.

I felt really bad about it for about 10 minutes, and then realized he can go frank himself.

That's the thing about Leafs vs. Habs - there are lots of games within the game.

- Atomic Wedgie


It's one that I thought I'd end up being wrong about but felt vindicated in being somewhat right.

Lucic was slow as poop in Boston but thrived in their system of grind, crash the net, break a nose here, spear someone there, etc etc. He can't keep up with the Oilers speed and if you put him back on Boston today, he'd be equally as poop as he is now.

Dude probably thinks McElhinney is getting tired now, he faced 33 shots on Saturday.

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.
- Matthews_Auston


agreed.

I really didn't like reading that Matthews knew the injury was probably going to linger after he returned. WTF? Let the guy heal up. It is not like the Leafs are moving up or down in the standings. He only needs maybe 3 or 4 games to get back into playing form.

I hope marner and jvr don’t cool off when Matthews gets back. They showed marner up an average of 2 and a half mins a game without Matthews. He looks good with the extra time.
- bryant


I think they also started giving him more time with Kadri, who also started playing better.

It's why Laine refused to come to Toronto - told the Leafs not to draft him.
- Atomic Wedgie


We should have at least considered him. Looks like the Laffs organization picked the wrong guy, again.

Now we have the great debate.

Is Marner/Kadri playing better BECAUSE Babcock was forcing them to play with Martin/Komarov?

or

Are they playing better because they are playing with eachother (aka better players)??
