Trust me young Samyy, save the rage/swallowing of sadness for when the playoffs are over and moves can actually be done.
No point in killing yourself now when you know nothing will happen anytime soon, you'll be all tuckered out by the time the draft rolls around.

The Toronto sports curse was too busy with the Leafs to bother with other teams. Now that the Leafs are golfing it has spread among the others.
Guess you're right after watching your first game ever.
Fixed.

Yup. Only sports that matter are hockey, soccer, and curling.
Im just joking around with you man
The nets seemed to have a fairly easy time scoring, Raptors couldn't do anything on offence. Hopefully they figure it out for game 2! It was a fun game to watch though.
Not a lot of high-end talent at all but its a solid depth draft, some great players available 2nd round and beyond, apparently.
Timmon's excels in the 2nd round area, so I have faith in him. We have enough D and two way guys, it would be nice to grab a kid like Mantha, a pure sniper.
Right. Forgot about this :lol
We'll throw money at a free agent instead. Sorry.
I noticed Antoine Bibeau, our 6th draft pick in 2013, is having a good playoffs so far. 10 - 1 - 1 / 2.01 / 0.921. His team currently 2-0 over the Halifax Mooseheads.
So you'll trade him for Ray Emery then.
Does he have character and is he a good old Ontario boy?
If yes to all, time to pull the trigger.
mmmm TO media may worry that he doesn't play the right way
Leafs prospect Andreas Johnson was voted rookie of the year in the SHL (Swedish Elite League changed its name to Swedish Hockey League).

I dont understand the Spezza thing.
Is Turris supposed to be the new number one? After a 58 pt season???

He has been our #1 Center the past 2 seasons.

Ex-Jets coach Claude Noel's first interview since he was fired.
Always liked him. Sad that it turned out that way for him, since he was always great to the fans and media here. Hope he finds another coaching job since I think he is a decent one. If not head coach, then at least assistant somewhere.

The Sun is a joke, anything to sell papers.
He's been our #1 centre for (well 1.5 seasons).
Points aren't quite there but he gets more ice time and faces the toughest competition which is what you want from your #1 centre.
Spezza is sheltered like MA Bergeron.

Someone made a video comparing how the Leafs react to losing an offensive zone faceoff versus how the Ducks react. It's interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wom4hRyp1YA
Spoiler: the Leafs basically retreat into the neutral zone whereas the Ducks apply pressure. Apparently the Ducks are one of the league's most successful teams in this situation.

Good interview. He comes across as being very honest. I think he's a good coach, but as he put it, the players just weren't buying in.
Theres actually a fancy stat for this and I think Boudreau is one of the best coaches at it, someone showed that he did something similar with Washington before he was forced by the GM to play a different system.

Hey, look at this! Andreas Johnson won SEL rookie of the year, beating out a fellow Leafs' pick, Tom Nilsson. It's probably meaningless, but maybe not!
Also, very interesting to see that Belov is leaving the league because of Eakins. Leafs might have dodged a bullet there.
