I'd be happy with any of those three or Rielly.

But if - and it's obviously a VERY big if - the Leafs somehow win through this year, I hope that they let Marleau go up and get the cup first

They will. I have no doubt

that’s what’s so great, save trolling, about this hockey talk sanctuary where we can
all sharpshoot lesser players and gms than us

i’ve loved snakevares’ production this year but why was he the captain on the island all those years and they didn’t do poop and now all of a sudden they lose him in the biggest free agent signing ever and gain uncle Leo and Martin and had a great season and now there getting ready to sweep the pens?

Watching McKinnon last night just dominate that game...Physical play, disruptive in d-zone and virtually unstoppable in o-zone....hope Matthews can elevate his game to that level.

He will, in a couple years. He is very young still.

Bloody hell, what is it troll auditions or what?!?! Lot of crap to wade through and this after a win???

C'mon guys we should be happy with what happened last night and hopefully will continue next game to get us a commanding lead in the series before going back to Boston!

Who cares about the offseason right now?!

Should have named Marleau the captain back when he signed, then it would have been perfect timing to hand it off to whomever they think is ready.

IMHO, there's no possible way that fans can figure out who is best to be captain.

It shouldn't go to the best player.

It should go to the best leader - something we have no way of evaluating.

Just my two cents.

A good goalie, great coach and players with a chip on their shoulders and something to prove maybe?

Trotz. Nothing to do with Tavares. Trotz has a long history of getting subpar teams to the playoffs. But he's only ever gotten past the second round with a team packed with superstars. And the Isles are not packed with superstars.

It's great for Isles fans, gives them a little excitement, but I suspect it will be shortlived.

I can now see why Dreger talks about offersheets so much. He avoided it today due to massive backlash 2 days ago, but tried talking actual on-ice hockey and sounded like a moron.

He argued Kadri if he comes back might not be given the 3rd line C role. Nylander might be permanent.

no kidding... the local media all in a blather about Kadri being stupid in the last 5 minutes of game 2... guess what folks there was 55 minutes before that - that the genius anal - ysts could have talked about. All Kadri all the time.

even before game 3 ended - offer sheets

and now everything's okay because they won game 3?

here's a couple of suggestions for the media doinks to ponder - and perhaps cover:

1) if Gary Bettman doesn't get involved in on-ice issues - why was he in Toronto for the game last night? surely it couldn't have been for the NBC broadcast or fan adoration ... maybe he was there to discuss the putrid officiating in Game 2 with Shanahan? just a thought (media you should try and get one of these)

2) did the on ice officials talk to the teams prior to Game 3 last night? if so - why was that necesary? was it necessary because they sensed things getting a "little heated" or was it because the previous game was a total shyte show where the outcome was materially impacted by the lack of officiating? (aparently knowledgeable commentators say that "you shouldn't notice the officials"

3) is Zaitsev better because he's playing with Muzzin or is it more of a factor that he isn't playing with the human give away machine that is Jake Gardiner? (inquiring minds want to know)

4) what kind of medication mix-up was/is responsible for Don Cherry losing what was left of his mind after Game 2 and then again during Game 3? should Ron be held responsible? (I think so)

5) How come Ron McLean (of the endless defense of fair play and officials at all times ever know to man kind) forgot or overlooked reviewing the impact of the officials behavior in Game 2? why was that Ron? are you selling out to Jerry Buttman as well?

6) What to make of Simmons saying the Leafs have to get rid of Kadri? Me... I'm thinking if Simmons says that, the Leafs should definitely hang on to Kadri

7) What to make of Brian Lewis (former head of NHL officials) going completely out of character and saying the officiating in Game 2 was crap? I mean could he possibly be correct?

8) What to make of Kerry Fraser criticizing the Game 2 officiating? Okay... we'll disgard that because is Kerry Fraser and he's a well known gutless weiner - who feels for some reason he has to pander to the fan base NOW

9) What to make of Kypreos, should he be made an assistant GM quickly - after his analysis that Marner should be traded?

yes, so many many things to talk about.



sorry forgot to add...

10) why didn't Travis Dermott get his head out of the way of Debrusk's errant elbow? I mean seriously, what was he thinking?

11) what to make of John Tavares? He needs to get that playoff beard going to cover up the scrapes, cuts and bangs that the Bruins are accidentally laying on him... seriously buddy, what if one of them inadvertently cuts you and it leads to a penalty against the Bruins? that's borderline embelishment.....

damn Leafs, they should stop play like that

Listening to Leafs Lunch now? Craig Button is such a mouth breather...you can literally hear him inhale/exhale on air.....guy must snore like a freight train. And yes, Dreger's takes make him sound like a moron. Watching Nylander play this series must has given Kadri more confidence in his position on the team.

Bettman goes to a lot of the playoff games, he is a common sight. This was planned well before the Kadri incident.

- Skalapy


okay? how does that, in any way, contradict what I said?

Did you miss the part where I said the only time he's made it past the second round was with a stacked team? Do you think a team with OV, Kuznetsov, Holtby, Carlson, Backstrom, Oshie, among others, just MIGHT be considered stacked?

the Isles don't have anywhere near a roster containing anything comparable to that.

Hence, me saying I don't think they'll be a factor for too long.
