The Leafs are not as good as Florida and Edmonton and you are absolutely correct about first two games.
Taking Panthers to game seven should not fool anyone.Knights are the Memorial Cup Champions. 4 – 1 final.
Congratulations!
Enjoyed the game, very entertaining.The only way out is Marner resigned under $13M, Nylander traded. Rielly moved. That way the assets stay in line and the return for Nylander and Rielly are other NHL players and picks. Another top 4 RHD so OEL can play his natural Left side. Tavares to the 3rd line on the cheap and another centre with tenacity on line 2. Toews on PTO?. McMann and Robertson need a new home. Bye to Jarnkrok, Kampf, Reaves & Holmberg. We have 5 good Defensemen and 2 Good Goaltenders. A very good top line. Work it out and remake this roster with grit and hustle.~ PrinceHL
This is ideal scenario. I am definitely prefer to have Marner over Nylander, but since they have no assets for trades, they need money, as match as possible,
to bring decent pieces to fill the holes in the roster.Totally off subject. Just got done doing a fresh install of a new linux operating system (distro). Went smoother than I expected. Switched over from Ubuntu to BunsenLabs. The speed is stunning after years of using heavier OS’es like Windows and Ubuntu. Start up and shut down is instant. No lag for anything. Applications open and close instantly.~ PDO
I am linux person, running linux desktop for over than 20 years, currently on 2 Desktops with Archlinux on both.
I like idea of minimal installation, some tiling windows manager and only apps I am using, nothing else.
It is easier for me probably as I am not a gamer.
And yes, go Oilers.Florida off to the Final again. 3rd year in a row. Scored 5+ goals in 4 out of 5 games.
Leafs, as flawed as they were, took this team to Game 7. – Unholy_Goalie
Don’t want take anything from Leafs, but Florida did not show up for the first 2 games, especially Bobrobsky.
Andersen with the shutout facing elimination.
That means 1 – 6 next game in Carolina or something like this.
Florida always coming strong after such games like tonight.if they just had faster, more skilled skaters, they could just outrun and dangle these old timers into the ice like the globetrotters do to the generals. ~ Skalapy????♂️
????????????
How Leafs supposed to improve without draft picks for trades?
To improve from within?
Letting Marner walk is bad, but keeping him for $14+ M is not great either.
I have no idea what magic the management has to pull out to improve this team.Nobody said Nylander was good in games 5 or 7 jesus christ stop making shit up. ~Cush29
Willy has to improve his defensive game, too often standing frozen in own zone with stick in the air and watching the puck.
This is recipe for disaster in playoffs.Unholy_Goalie
I think they will sign Marner, they will look too stupid if they not.
They mismanaged their high draft picks terribly and did not develop talent for
years, now they have no picks and no assets.
But it is what it is, I have no exceptions whatsoever, I just don’t believe
it is possible to make roster competitive enough with what they have now.
And how you think they can move Reilly?This team will not improve by letting go your leading scorer for nothing. Also, your leading goal scorer will not improve by losing his #1 playmaker.
Unholy_GoalierI agree with everything you said, it will make team worse and they will not find anyone to replace Marner.
That’s why I say it is no win – win solution in this situation.
Once too many bad moves done during rebuild there is no way to fix the roster anymore.
With Marner Leafs more likely to make playoffs, but I don’t expect them to go deep in playoff with Marner or without him,
we been in this scenario often enough.If Marner walks, it will be one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the franchise to allow their leading point producer walk for NOTHING.
There is no solution for Marner problem. It is too bad to let him go, but giving him 14 million contract is not much better option.
The outcome will be almost the same, the first round exit. The Leafs will not have enough money under the cup to have respectful bottom six
where top six is not producing when it most needed. And after Tre tried to flip him for Rantanen I am not sure both sides want him to stay here in Toronto.I slept normal.
Fortunately i was not invested in this team this year. Didnt even watch game 5 or 7, watched a bit of game 6.With Matthews as captain, marner as an A, i simply dont expect much from this team.
They’ve traded away 1st rounders like crazy, one for a 3rd line center.
Team is screwed for a while. Imo. ~FakepartofmeWatched all 82 games, but was not emotionally engaged like before.
With every year, watching the same outcome, emotions slowly disappeared.
But last game I felt, not gonna lie.
Good thing it is Holidays today and no need to work.
Team is screwed, I knew it for a while. You can’t patch roster if you don’t have a core to build around.
Dubas and Shnahan screw it completely by giving huge contracts to wrong players.
Willy contract is bad too, he is not worth that much with such level of defense. This is not even Kessel level.
