    Marner signs 6 year, $10.893mil AAV contract

    Sounds great in theory. But you have to ignore the context to go along with that. He was an injury risk. He wound up missing an entire season with a hip problem shortly after signing the deal.

    Marner signs 6 year, $10.893mil AAV contract

    By his 3rd season in Toronto, he led the Leafs forwards in time on ice in the regular season and playoffs. Three Leafs coaches came to that similar conclusion. I think Leafs management have handled it poorly - playing stupid games with the media while the player is holding all the cards. One way...

    2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    I cancelled cable a decade or more ago. I couldn't handle giving FOX Propaganda News a penny. I have had Amazon Prime for years - rarely use it to watch anything except the Leafs. That is good to know. I may try that. Have to calm down some as I was quite annoyed with Sportsnet. They woke up...

    2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    Last couple of seasons, I've signed up for Sportsnet only for watching the Leafs. Each season, I have to cancel because their video is so choppy, it is unwatchable. I've worked with their tech people but with only limited effort. I'm technically able and could figure it out but I don't have time...

    Ducks vs. Maple Leafs - Mar. 30th, 8:00pm - SN, Fan 590

    I'll echo everyone else. Terrible refs - and not just one or two calls. Not a bad game for a 3rd game in 4 nights. In control of their own destiny in 1st place in their division but a tougher schedule in April

    2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    With 35 goals, ignoring other potential goal scoring tonight, Tavares is tied for 9th in goals. With Nylander in 2nd, if they were to finish with both in the top 10, that is a fairly rare occurrence after the 60s NHL expansion. I think Andreychuk & Clark did it in the early 90s. Sittler &...

    Maybe they need to be embarrassed by a bottom feeder just before the playoffs start ...

    2024-25 Marlies General Thread

    Good for them. Seems like they've had a pretty good run at the NCAA and other young free agents.

    That was the best game the team has played in a while

    Sharks vs. Maple Leafs - Mar. 27th, 10:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

    ppg typically dips in the playoffs but not typically as much as some of those. When a team lacks secondary scoring ("saddled with Connor Brown, Marleau, Galchenyuk, Foligno and Kerfoot for large portions of that time"), the opponent can focus on defending the fewer players that have scoring...

    Sharks vs. Maple Leafs - Mar. 27th, 10:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

    Definition of insanity: keep doing the same thing while expecting a different result. They had to change up players, system, etc. They tried. Made several credible moves. It is not all bad. But it doesn't seem to be coming together.

    Sharks vs. Maple Leafs - Mar. 27th, 10:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

    Potentially or probably. Management plans on the cap were upset by Covid. What they're individually paid is fairly close to where they should be. But that doesn't jive very well with this claim that attacks their character, etc

    Sharks vs. Maple Leafs - Mar. 27th, 10:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

    I don't buy that. The core 4 could play on any Cup winner I've seen in the last 60 plus years and do well. The core 4 got 16% of the ice time in the playoffs last year and it is so easy for the media to bump their ratings and subscriptions blaming them while ignoring those who got the other 84%...

    2024-25 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

    What I'm about to kick around is not an original thought. Others have raised something like it here. I looked at it a bit today. This season, Matthews and Knies play a minute and a half shorthanded per game. Marner 2 mins. I don't get it. What is the point? I can see using Marner to score...
