Only way to beat the kings is to be faster. A lot faster. Not gonna be at them up.
They're not that fast. Gotta out skate them causing odd man rushes.

I did't see LA as that fast they moved the puck fast around the outside and made them skate out of position. IMO it wasn't LA speed that got them the win it was their puck control and movement. The puck is always faster.

Not bringing it when they play the Sabres and Coyotes of the league is going to come back and bite them in the ass!!

Yep.

In the event we do miss. If we some how, some way win the lottery, I'm quitting my job and spending the summer in the leafs thread.

McCann and Virtanen have decent wheels; especially Virtanen.

It would have to be something good, and I wouldn't want them to fall out of the top 5. If you're in the top 5 this year there is basically no way you're going to leave the draft disappointed.

Gotta love that both of these guys are fast and can actually shoot the puck

I think they are both great players but McCann is farther ahead his development. Virtanen will need more time.

I'm pissed you guy's have to wake up early to watch the game Saturday. What is it, 4.pm local time?

(frank)ing Leafs and the NHL. So biased.

It's that Darren Dreger, I tells ya.

LA Is the real deal. Vegas seems to agree as well. Current futures to win cup. The last 3 could change real quick (ie VAN 50/1). LA & Minnesota are currently wildcard teams, look at the odds.

LA 10/1
Minnesota 10/1
VAN 40/1
CAL 50/1
Winnipeg 50/1

If VAN has to rely on either of those two next year, we are in real trouble.

I had a terrible thought the other day. Toronto continues to tank and miraculously wins the lottery! It makes me puke thinking about it. McDavid a Leaf! It would be all McDavid and Toronto 24 hours a day on TSN. It could happen. What a better way to rebuild "Canada's Team" and have McDavid as your centre piece.....

Being forced to watch the most embarrassing disaster of a franchise to suit their time zone is a big kick in the man parts to local businesses and fans!!!

Toronto Maple Leafs Mascot Asks To Be Traded

MARCH 10, 2015
TORONTO, ONTARIO - In an unprecedented move, Toronto Maple Leafs mascot, Carlton the Bear, has asked to be traded.

After another lack luster defeat on home ice, Carlton threw his jersey on the ice in frustration.

“Nobody will do the wave because there are so many suits in the crowd. Kids are crying cause the team is losing. The game isn’t even over and fans are streaming for the exits faster than Phil Kessel back checks, I’ve had enough, I want to be traded to a contender”.

The news set the hockey rumor mill ablaze as three franchises, the Rangers, Flyers and Oilers currently do not have a mascot. However, hockey insider, Darren Dreger, confirmed that Carlton the Bear would not waive his no-trade clause to go to Edmonton.”

“I’ll do anything to get outta here. I’ll take a dump at center ice and wipe my ass with Charmin Ultra if that’s what it takes.”

Dreger confirmed that Leafs GM, Dave Nonis has set the asking price for Carlton at 3 first round picks, but then quickly volunteered to fill the mascot vacancy when he gets fired any day now.
