Curious, do the people who say “Matthews will be pissed if they trade marner” not know he’s still going to perform the same on the ice..? Freddy leaving didn’t lead to a drop off in performance & that was arguably his closest friend on the team

Are mikheyev & lafferty really the wingers to get pettersson going..?

Draisaitl passing to ceci on an odd man rush…? Guess silovs in his head if he’s making that play

There’s so many ways to improve the roster top to bottom
SEA: Marner & liljegren
TOR: bjorkstrand, borgen & 2024 1st

Knies — Matthews — Willy
Domi — Stephenson — Bjorkstrand
McMann — Tavares — Sprong
Holmberg — Jost — Dewar
Mo — Tanev
McCabe — Roy
Benoit — Borgen
Woll
Brossoit

14 shots through 2 periods is embarrassing, you still have your top 3 guys in the lineup

So, if you’re part of the trade marner crowd, do you hope vegas puts their captain on LTIR again…? That’s a place he 100% waives for

Well he is the better jones, according to the analytics community

How many perfect chances can the canes pass up lol feels like I’m watching the leafs

You know why penalties are inconsistent? The same reason people argue on this stupid app every single day lol they have different opinions on what should be called & what shouldn’t. That’s why when reviewing goals it should be a team of 3 or 5 in the review room doing each one

Why didn’t he constantly pass it around the perimeter instead..? That’s how you make the big bucks

Feel like marner being a selke nominee last year says a lot more about the voters than his actual play. Most of the writers shouldn’t be voting when you see how they evaluate players lol journalism degree means you can vote on pro sports awards..? Let players, coach’s & GMs vote

Feel like I haven’t seen his name pop up too much since they’ve been done, but liljegren is gone right? He just doesn’t have it when it comes to the playoffs & he doesn’t have a trait he can rely on every night

Man some media members are the worst, posts a quote that gets a ton of attention, “ok here’s the full quote”

I always love the way pressers are handled by media in toronto lol it’s either a full quote, or a partial one you know will get the most attention

Free agent targets this summer (if they make it):

F - stephenson, lindholm, debrusk, duchene, duclair, sprong, monahan, martinook, trenin, carrier, stenlund

D - montour, roy, skjei, pesce, tanev, demelo, hakanpää, carrier, kylington, miller

G - brossoit, stolarz

Wow, don’t care what your opinion about steve simmons is, this is about as real as you can get when criticizing shanahan. Brendan just talks in circles, get rid of this guy already. Feels like dreger on any radio hit, say something of substance or shut the fuck up lol

I really hope the players understand that this is a shot at them, because they prefer playing on the perimeter instead of getting to the dirty areas to score goals

Top leaf needs:
- Marner trade
- Tavares trade (not likely)
- retool blueline
- tandem goalie like brossoit
- more speed & tenacity up front (miles wood & ross colton types)
- a coach that will preach accountability for everyone, doesn’t matter what your name is

If he can stop overthinking with last change & the GM allows him to call out players, he should have a good year
