Jack Edwards is a dumbass and Rene can't sing for poop, but I still love that bushy eye browed motha (frank)a
- RickJames77



I muted him last night (which I quite enjoyed) but was terrified when I realized he colors his eyebrows

why the f__ do guys do that poop... you're old and have grey hair - so what?

well deserved win last btw.

If I'm Babcock... the message I'm not so subtly putting out is "this is Mitch Marner's team for now"
- BorjeFan4Ever

I'm not sure if he'd go that far

Marner has definitely earned his money, and Matthews has earned less

Some rumored RHD to be available the Leafs should be in on if so
Dougie Hamilton
Damon Severson

Also Leafs should sniff around Edmonton if Klefbom is available. he is LH shot

Matthews, Marner and Nylander are off the table for them though

Even when it's not Boston...but I can see that...I watched Kessel for a few years avoid contact at all costs.
- Garnie


That's why Kessel had the iron man streak. When you don't take any body contact it kind of helps!!!

I have been impressed with Marleau. I knew he had the reputation of speed and the iron man run but I assumed it was because he was not a physical player and floated a bit. But he seems to throw lots of hits and gets into the dirty areas and take lots...

If Hamilton is available, plenty of teams will be calling.

Great player.

Speed with weight helps a lot in the NHL. People whining about losing JVR because we signed Marleau....but I think Marleau is better now then JVR ever was....JMO

I meant it from a perspective of motivation for Matthews, who obviously must recognize what Marner was able to do in that series (and in the second half of the season as a whole)...

Not going to get him taking Matthews/Marner/Nylander off the table I don't think...unless we're giving up #1 picks again.

If Calgary paid a first and two second rounders for Hamonic. (A mistake btw)

You get bet they'll ask for more for a better player in Hamilton.

Because he is scared of getting mauled by Chara?
- Hockey_Reverend


It's a rational fear

You're like "GET IN THERE GET IN THE CORNER AND GET THE PUCK" then "oh yeah Chara's there, nvm, eff that."

I don't know why he does it either

There's a lot about that guy I don't quite understand, but I love him. I'll never forget when I was like 8 and had glass seats next to the bench and he decided to go out on the bench and sing christmas carols poopfaced. I could even tell at that age. It became a tradition after that. Well the caroling, not the poopfacedness


And thanks! The last period they were just a force to be reckoned with. The first 40 what with the back and forth nature of it almost put me 6ft under. I was showing some serious signs of game 7 depression after that Kapanen goal. I thought that was game.

They'd rather move any other D. Hamilton has to be untouchable

I hate this way of thinking

If I buy a overpriced car I can't flip it for the same amount, I can try but it won't work.

Calgary just set an example of what to not pay for a D, GMs aren't stupid

no issues trading a 1st as long as you lottery protect it, have the option to keep it if you bottom out (Ottawa style)

Maybe Jake and 1st ..fill in the rest with whatever you think

than go after Severson

I'd agree, I really like JVR but Marleau is a better all around player. Hopefully he rubs off on the young wingers, I think he already has.

yeah somehow he's still playing some good hockey. I really thought last night that maybe we wore him down enough to light Rask up.

nonsense... Steve's too busy following Matthews around TOronto to see which hot dog cart or food truck he stops at.
