    Coaching and management changes around the league

    Coaching turnover in the NHL is so great he'll probably get another shot if he wants it. He's a shorter wick coach. Ok candidate to bring in if the season starts poorly. But he probably won't last too long.

    2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    L2 is probably where he played his best hockey. He seemed to like playing with Tavares. They're kind of in a odd place with the bottom 6: Pacioretty on L2 - he might be good there and he might not. McMann could play L3 if Pacioretty could play L2. But we don't know. Jarnkrok from 2 years ago...

    2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    The good news is anything can happen in the playoffs which they are destined for. Not so good news is that they do not seem like a top contender to me. I'd agree that they're second tier. Odds makers give them very roughly about a 6% chance to win a Cup vs the better teams at very roughly 10%...

    Flyers @ Maple Leafs - Mar. 25th, 7:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

    I think McMann helps that because he's good at takeaways - with his speed & forechecking and work on the boards. He finishes his checks and helps the line get or maintain possession of the puck. Nylander will always be a liability at times. McMann also has the speed and willingness to backcheck...

    Flyers @ Maple Leafs - Mar. 25th, 7:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

    He got hurt and then with all the injuries, I think he played less than 100%. That was a hunk of it.

    Flyers @ Maple Leafs - Mar. 25th, 7:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

    I don't think floundering around until playoff time and then expecting to suddenly get their act together is very realistic. They have kind of fiddled around all season. If they're going to amount to anything, they need to clean up their act now, blow them away and get on with it.

    2024-25 General Trades and Signings

    I've hardly seen him this year but that is an eyebrow raising term for a player like Chychrun who has been injured as much as he has.

    Idiocracy 2024

    Some of that went back to Bill Clinton's implementation of NAFTA - decimated the Rust Belt. Those folks would never support Hillary in 2016 because of it. In fact Republicans were keen on doing something similar under GHW Bush but when those consequences were revealed, they backed off. Bill...

    Flyers @ Maple Leafs - Mar. 25th, 7:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

    From the notes/posts, this looks like the lineup for this game Knies - Matthews - Marner McMann - Tavares - Nylander Laughton - Domi - Robertson Lorentz - Kampf - Jarnkrok Rielly - Carlo McCabe - Tanev Benoit - Ekman-Larsson Stolarz

    2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    For the most part, as I recall, opinions are usually all over the place on players like these. If one looked at Bobby McMann's stats at Colgate, I doubt anyone who did would fault someone for taking a pass. I'd never heard of him until after they had acquired him and still knew almost nothing...

    2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    Athletic: Meet Luke Haymes, the NCAA free agent drawing interest from the Maple Leafs I don't know much about Luke Haymes. But so far, everything I've seen today makes him appear to be a credible NCAA UFA pickup. When they trade their draft picks away, they have to fill the prospect cupboard...

    Canadian Federal Election 2025

    The conservative social media strategy seems very similar to Trump's and they've been at it for a few years. Not that Trudeau was a bastion of perfection but that strategy helped knock him down in the polls. Like Trump's, a bunch was not accurate / very misleading. I suppose all politicians do...

    Woll v Stolarz for Playoffs

    Two of those goals were shot from 14 ft and 17 ft from the goal line. Because Woll is not on the goal line - he's out in the blue paint - the distance is shorter than 14-17 feet to get the puck past him. From that distance, the puck would be past him in less than 1/10th of a second. A 1/10th of...

    Predators vs. Maple Leafs - Mar. 22nd. 7:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

    Pretty disappointing result. Tampa & Florida lose and they can't put away the Preds to take advantage after taking a 2-0 lead. Another confounding thing: Jarnkrok, who has been decent as a Pker in the past, returns (with an apparent lost step in his skating) They add PKers Laughton and Carlo PK...

    Minor Ex-Leaf News

    Many players on the NHL fringes work as hard or harder than the NHL regulars, desperately trying to make it. Nice to see one of them get some sort of memorable reward for their efforts.
