I can't really understand MiB hate for Kadri.. never have. Really good player signed to an incredibly team friendly contract
- BorjeFan4Ever


Oh yeah. As far as guys on their third contract go, there's not too many that can provide better value than Naz. Sure, he plays the line at times, but he's an incredibly valuable player.

I was pretty young.. 96-97 maybe?

Leafs were playing NYI.. Im pretty sure Cote got the OT GWG...

I just remember the railing in front of me the and feeling the vibrations of other fans kicking of bumping it. It was in the reds.

My first game was age 12. Leafs - Kings. Rogie Vachon was in net. My Dad scores golds right
In the row by Harold Ballard’s bunker (May he rot in hell). The speed and the bright colours of the gardens felt like I had stepped into Oz. Closest experience to it I’ve had since was getting to go to Augusta National for the Masters.

So you're in Long Island now? Or just the general vicinity, and the LI tix are better value/more available than MSG?

The game was pretty bad. We didn't really show up for the game overall which sucked. Our big three came and showed up and carried us through but that can't happen all the time. Andersen was spot on though he really was. That was a great sign out of the gates at least.

Far as Nylander goes, hold out and let him sit. If he is 7-9 mil range let him sit and lose money. End of the day he is our 4th best player, and has NOT earned a payday like that at all. As others said he isn't going to make us tougher, more gritty etc, the problems the team needs to address.

I think honestly if he isn't going to budge, and honestly this agent does this all the time with his clients, ship him off for the big rhd we really need. Makes the team way better. Have to figure it would be Gards and Nylander involved, and end of the day you gonna pay 7 mil or so, better to have that top d guy in there then all the money up front.

Hopefully the guys figure out how to show up and bring it for saturday.

Having a good defense is so overrated.

Washington and Pittsburgh know where it's at

Your thoughts on playoff teams that are successful?

Do the leafs need to be concerned over the course of the season about players not just with skill but according to Brian Burk “Washington and Winnipeg were successful last years because they have size on their respective teams. Ryan reeves of Las Vegas GN TOOK out dustin byfuglien of Winnipeg.
Do you feel the leafs have enough size? I know y’all want another top 4 D Man but I value your opinion about leafs size as it really gets PHYSICAL in playoffs.

Sens have Brady, Habs have Domi..

Leafs need spice, and what would be better than a Tkachuk rivalry?

Mike’s not a Leafs fan. He pretty much reports what we already know. On the rare occasion that he offers an opinion his dislike of Toronto shines through.
Kinda like UG

I'm in CT... short drive and optional ferry across the sound.

Tickets are NOT expensive or difficult to get for Islander's game. MSG far far more expensive

We've reached our limit of Americans anyways..

Can't have that arrogant American frat boy attitude develop in the dressing room. Ontarians or Swedes preferred..

my first i was 8 years old... Leafs versus Los Angeles ... sat right beside the goal judge... couldn't see anything

but two weeks of so later I saw the Blackhawks at the gardens... and my father had the kitchen equipment contract for the real "Hot Stove Lounge"... met Makita and Hull, got signed stuff (which my mother through out ) ... many of the players would head in there after games.

I'm thinking Calgary says no. How do I know this? Because I would make this deal in a heartbeat.
