I can just see it now....hire a GM from outside hockey right before the TDL and tell them "git er dun".
- mohel

I had given up hope they would have a new hockey mind hired for the TDL, to prepare for the draft and start evaluating the hockey side of the organIzation. Thought KD would do that and honestly I'm not sure what I thought about that. ..... No evidence to go by other than when he spoke to the press but I like KD.

I like the way he's worked his way up from intern all the way to asst GM. Certainly no silver spoon sperm lottery winner.

Yo Leaf haters, you see the new lines they rolled out? Check em out when you get a chance but Nylander down to L3 with Kampf as the C, Mikayev takes his spot, Bunting and Kase with Matthews.

If this works that's 3 lines that can score that's for sure.

Those lines aren’t put together so they can score. They’re put together to get certain players to check and defend. The leafs problem isn’t scoring, they can’t defend to save their lives. The playoffs always highlights their weaknesses, their inability to do anything but score.

7 minutes in and this already has the feeling of a less than inspiring effort this evening

Proved wrong— nice

Strome, dat bum.

Who are these guys?

He is a 2020 #1 draft choice, same age that Reichel is. Washiogton traded up to #22 to grab him. Lapiere probably would of gone much higher if he wasn't injured his draft year. What # does Washington draft this year? Probably higher than 22nd. So instead of a #1 this year, it would be like we got 2 #1's in 2020. I would do it.

I doubt Fleury accepts a trade to Washington. That was Pittsburgh's biggest rival for many years

Why do you even watch? All you do is piss and moan. This post aged really well

Up to a 2nd for Strome, one more goal from him and maybe they’ll get a 1st.

After this game, sell high on everybody.

Good to see an opponent have defensive breakdowns like us. Glad to see Blackhawks take advantage of it.

Why? Maybe he can actually take his game to another level.

No one thought he could win face offs, like Dach

Did I miss something, Mo? As Danny explained it the GM will be the top hockey mind and he'll report to Danny. I take that to mean there will be no prez of hockey ops unless he gives the GM dual titles of GM/Prez of Hockey Ops like he did with Stanley (oh God) when he promoted him last summer.
- Mr Ricochet

You could still have a Rutherford type as GM and a younger person, a Davidson type reporting to him. The title don't mean diddly, the people do.

I'm trying to support your enthusiasm the best I can. Maybe Danny did have a list, and maybe he'll nail the hire.

There's a cheese and sausage. Family size

4-0 lead and a you think a no look pass to the center of the ice in your zone is a good idea, can't believe how dumb our defenseman are sometimes

I guess 25 minutes of hockey is all the boys can handle tonight

Our Veteran defenseman, not the youngsters.

As a GM looking for defensive help and watching this game there's no way in hell i trade for him, that's a play a loser makes

The All-Star team is underperforming again?

All this because a dman couldn't look over his shoulder

Defensive pairings. WTF!! Gus and Seth??

Amazing how 1 really really really irresponsible/dumb play can change the momentum of a game.

That one play caused three goals against?!?! Wow....

Leddy will tie this game and Suter will win it for the Wings.
