If we’re going to be the Habs, let’s be the (frank)ing Habs. I cheered for that team. I cheer for this team. Coincidence? I think not.

The lack of BeLeaf is this team's biggest problem. Thoughts become things. Look at the Raptors. Superfan, championship. TFC - Red Patch Boys, championship. Leafs - empty platinum seats to begin periods and whingeing sad sack megadowners, endless spectacular ballbreaking losses.

Deep draft?

Actually, if you look at the 2008 draft, it wasn't that bad a pick:

Yeah, Erik Karlsson went 15th, but not many other great picks on that round after Schenn.

I did something I've never done before; I picked the Leafs in Wedgie's prediction thread.

And you get 40 goals and you get 40 goals and you get 40 goals and Ilya Mikheyev gets 55 goals. Why the (frank) not?

3 of the top 5 are basically HOFer's in todays game. It was a hit/miss draft, but definitely a very good one. Not 2003/2013/2015 levels.

And Karlsson/Carlson/Josi basically being Norris level players as well. Not too bad.

So the Habs complained to the league that Carolina is only playing 4 preseason games even though the CBA says they have to play six.

There's no penalty in the CBA for not playing 6 preseason games, so nobody really knows what to do.

The Isles, Devils, Sharks and Preds all only play(ed) 5.

Did they actually? 'Cause that's absolutely (frank)ing hilarious if they did.

And all because they didn't like that Carolina showed them how to do an actual offer sheet. Amazing.

PP will decide their success this year.

They fix the powerplay, and JY doesn't get knocked out in the first 10 minutes of game 1 of the playoffs - and I say they make atleast the conference finals.

Allegedly. Seravalli was saying that they think the only reason anyone at the league even noticed was that the Habs made a stink about it.

Might be Molson. Dundon mentioned in an interview after that he tried reaching out to Geoff Molson and he won't return his calls.

not even a scolding? The instigator and two of his alts got a "lengthy" vacation, not sure what exactly that is. UG got a lifetime allegedly, as did his knock off alt.

Makes sense. Dermott has been outplayed by every regular D-man not named Holl. Insane how he inexplicably continues to avoid scrutiny.

Dermott has hit his mediocre ceiling with Sandin and, now, Lilybust leapfrogging him.

Frankly, the only thing that keeps Dermott in the lineup is Sandin and Lily's waiver exemption status.

I think he is the #6 defenseman out of necessity. He will get claimed on waivers, and they probably don't carry 7 defenseman.

Can't really trade him either. The defensive depth isn't strong enough.
