Nylander wants way too much money - especially given he really hasn’t accomplished much yet.
- Z3Hawk

I agree, 8 million per year for 20 goals and 60 points is a tad much

Ward in net again according to the Bleacher Report.


Sparks in for Toronto.

So Q is going to coach like Maddon and burn out his goalie, nice

It might be off blog topic to talk about players from other teams, but the argument can be made that a lot of players are getting paid/wanting too much for not accomplishing anything. McDavid might be awesome, but he hasn't accomplished a lot. Playoffs once, right?

Most talented player and best skater in the league. Kind of warrants a big check.

Well at least it looks like Hayden is in for Marty tonight

Didn't you just tell someone this isn't a AZ blog
Yet you talk about Duck and Leaf players.

Accomplished has such a broad definition. Stanley Cup accomplished? Reg season accomplished? I don't deny a big pay check but below 12.5 mill.

Thank you for pointing it out, because I appreciate it. I was told to stay on topic.

Thanks for the update. Do you know of any other roster changes? Davidson?

A new guy at The Rink has Berg in net, Marty playing, and Davidson in? Now there's some confusion.

Boyle said Hayden was the only change.

It is a nice tribute.

Yeah, quite moving and emotional. Let's hope it inspires the guys tonight. Win it for Stan (the Great, not the GM - sorry dude.)

Great top line shift. They came to play.

Edit: all lines are rolling. Saad gething chances and Arty had one. Hayden making his presence known.

Heck of a start. Making the leafs look shaky in their own end.

I know. Schmaltz got knocked on his wallet and kept the puck. 2nd line is starting to click against the top of the world leafs

Sparks tested early and often. Really good sign. Ward making big saves as well.

really nice hockey. A couple sloppy neutral zone plays, but otherwise outstanding. 9-3 shots although 2 of those Leaf shots were grade-A.

Yeah, that is the kind of start you want to see. Hope they get rewarded here. Often when you dominate the other team and don't score, it comes back to bite you.

Your captain 1-0

19 is ON IT!

High stick

Common that stick was below the cross bar
