Globe and Mail publishes an article with a picture of the front of Tavares’s new house, including the number, says the area, and the price be paid.

Takes 2 seconds of googling to figure out where he lives. Why do they need to include all those details? Guys should be given some privacy.

Buddy has less land than I do.


Sucker.

Matthews honestly seems even better and more dominant this year than in his first two seasons. Amazing.

It's crazy to think that he's still just 21. Wait until he's 24-25, full on Lindros beast mode.

Ennis laying the big open ice hit

That was funny, but good for him. He was beat to the puck and took the man. Good on him and it actually resulted in gaining the zone for his line.

Yeah he's gotta play like that to survive. Same with Leivo.

Neither have been impressive in the first 3 games, so they kinda deserve the demotion. Hopefully it makes an impression and they pick up their game. Hopefully Johnson gets the message from his time in the press box too. He's been really underwhelming.

I'm not getting into the whole penalty conversation per se . . .

But when I watch Dallas' defense, it's borderline defense by interference if not completely on the other side of the line.

What I've noticed is that there are always some teams that can get away with it more than others.

I used to always find that was a staple of Hitchcock coached teams - positionally sound, but still defense-by-interference - but he's gone.

What makes that difference? I'm theorizing it's reputation - like how some batters have a better strike zone, or some pitchers get the benefit of the call.

He was sure doing his job on Marner's goal a few minutes ago. I wasn't a fan of his after his first season, but I paid more attention to him last year and changed my mind.

Leivo's played ok, had a good game against MTL and OTT, not so much CHI.

He has to bring the body every shift; be Hyman with an NHL shot.

Hasnt done a whole lot. Hasnt really hurt us too much though. Only way he is going down is if he is brutal on faceoffs and Goat suddenly gets it going.

Weird bounce off the dump-in that ended up in our end, D wasn't ready, then a knuckler off of Zaitsev's boot.

Can't really do much about that.

And le boom, Kappy to Matthews.
