soooo sorry for the spam. fantasy hockey league for hockeybuzzers that I've been running since 2010. Looking for some new managers to replace those that were inactive last year.

20 teams, full rosters, no keepers, plenty of stats. Draft is Sept 28th at 8/9pm EST and usually runs over 2 hours. Inbox me if you're interested!

Well this was entertaining. I am of course talking about the comments section, the blog itself was ridiculous.

He may or may not be upset over this... I thought it was an interesting blog from Ek. Toronto fans think everything is great and nothing will bother their young players ...They can be underpaid and not be recognized because they will always be happy just to be a Leaf

Why does Mathews always look like he's not happy, almost as if he can't wait to leave the team.

Babcock is so (frank)ing overrated its insane. So he won Gold with Team Canada who was 10x better than the 2nd best team at both Olympic games.....

Really no need to read past the first page!

Click, click, click, click click clickedy click.

Ek you are a genius my man.

I'd be surprised by the 3rd page some of the Leafs fans wouldn't be asking for a mod to take down the blog or ban Ek.

Why would Leafs fans care about a Matthews blog? He's basically already a Coyote.

Seriously though, hasn't Matthews earnt a letter. I would think that the young majority of players in the group do support Matthews 100% & would want him with a letter on his guernsey. It's also a motivation factor, give the 'kid' the responsibility & let him carry the weight of that responsibility.

Wrong move in my opinion. I'm still unconvinced Babcock is the right coach to develop talent. He's great with high end already developed talent, but time will tell with the Leafs young guns.

Times are/have changed, has Babcock changed with them?

No cake, just a psychotic computer/robot.

I think the cake had all been eaten years before the protagonist wakes up.

You think they care about who wears a letter or not? Is this all franchises? Haven't they got Fortnite to play or something.

I do agree that there's a mutiny within the camp but I'm not sure it's letter related.

It's well known Marleau and Matthews hate each other. Treats him like a kid. Someone posted photographic evidence earlier.

I think that's the exact reason why Matthews didn't get it.

No point giving him a letter this year when he's gonna accept Arizona's massive offersheet next year anyways. Auston Traitorthews.

Should never have drafted the guy. At least Laine wouldn't have walked right?

What other good options did Edmonton have? Chiapet already traded away all the other good players except German Gretzky. What solid vet were they gonna give the responsibility to? Milan Lucic?

Laine probably would've hated Marleau too. What kind of asshat invites young players over to their house to spend time with their family?
