????
Cush n dozzer would never ban me for my timeless hb idiom????????♂️????Welcome to your new home. The key is under the Mitch Marner doormat, whenever you want to come in.
Good analysis. I agree with at least 80% of it. My biggest issue is paying two right wingers $12M each per season. It doesn’t work. Centre, Defense and Goaltending should come before Wingers. It would be all well and good if there were no Cap, but there is. One has to go. Either move Willy, or Mitch will have to sign elsewhere, if he won’t sign for similar money than Willy. I’m not totally sold on McMann either. He did show some decent play in the regular season, but did little in the playoffs. It’s not like he’s under 25, unlike Knies, who really does deserve a long term extension.
The band is almost back together. HHS Gain is HB’s loss. It’s like watching a suicide in real time happening over there. The discussions in here are a breath of fresh air, without the nonsense and harping going on. It’s actually fun again. Slowly, but surely, all of the best Bloggers from over there are now coming here. A few more tweaks, and this site will be ready to soar. Just have to get some of the smaller market threads to come over. Hablanders haven’t migrated as fast as I’d like to have seen quite yet. It’s only month 1 and all seems grand.
This team does not work, due to the imbalance of the payroll. You can’t have two right wingers making over $11M each, on long term deals. Matthews is also slightly overpaid, but a year ago, he scored 69 goals. Who’s been even close to this in over 25 years. Also being a centre, he’s worth more than a winger. Tavares is almost spent as an elite player. Yes, he had a good year, but it was a contract year. Is he really still a number 2 centre? His defensive game isn’t stellar. He does win faceoffs, but wouldn’t he be better slotted at 3C? The answer probably would be yes, but then who do we get for a #2? Many questions to be answered this summer. Leaf cannot go forward with both Marner and Nylander at this price point. Leafs are still a good hockey club, but adjustments need to be made.
Marner just had his first 100 point season. Matthews has a Calder, a number of Rocket’s and a Hart Trophy. And Marner has won what trophy, since he came to the NHL? And he wants Matthews money? I think not. He’s too small for playoff style hockey and disappears. He’s known to get primary assists on the opponents goals by puck giveaways and he wants what? Matthews money? No F’n way! If he wants Nylander money, then he signs the identical contract. He won’t. The soap opera will continue. His papa Paul will start giving executive orders to Leafs management, once free agency hits. Marner should go and take the Johnny Gaudreau retirement contract and play in Cannonball City Ohio, or the Great Mormon Tabernacle in Sault Lake City. He needs a good humbling.
Rielly out
Marner outEkblad in
Boeser in
Ehlers inJT either signs for $5M or less, or he can walk.
If Sam Bennett comes in under $7M per, you take him instead.
The rest of the defense stays.
Matthews stays, he’s one of the best goalscorers in the league.
Sign Knies long term. He’s the real deal.
Tinker with the 3rd and 4th lines.
The Goaltending is solid.
Get rid of the dead wood.Kampf gone.
Reaves gone….Robidas Island.
Domi stays.Hope for Easton Cowan to make the jump next year.
Maybe Paramount+ will buy the rights to this Soap Opera. My jersey is already folded up and in my suitcase. At least I’m up a bit at the tables. $165. plus a comped room, plus a cheap buffet. The prime rib was delicious. I did eat at least 30oz of this delicacy. Stuffed now!!
I think I’ll go back to the tables for a while. A waste of time watching this. Where’s our pending UFA’s tonight? By 11PM, you can leave now. Pathetic!
Have they even won a single puck battle tonight? Berube should have called time out after the first goal. Ghosts out there….no pride or compete.
On remote from the Akwesane Resort and Casino. I felt it necessary to chime in. This looks like Game 5 all over again. For the 9th year in a row, we failed. Woll came to play but no-one else did. It’s typical to get our hopes up, then let us down one more time. It’s despicable but we aren’t on the ice, the Hobbits are. Stuck watching the American feed, being stateside. Lots of Canadians here and lots of long faces. Nobody stepped up! Got it?
Pretty decent tilt here, on Saturday night. Ottenger just made an outstanding save to keep it at 1’s. Desperate hockey at both ends of the ice. Prediction: Next goal will win this series.
I’ve decided to just leave the “Buzz” for now and probably forever. When I received a stupid ban that made no sense, for 1 month, I decided to move here for good. I’ve always enjoyed Mike’s blogs and his podcast opinions. I have nothing personal against Fred Johnson(EK). It just lost its way and nothing was done to correct their issues. The banning of multiple person’s for next to nothing, no warnings, just banhammer. Dumb, and now the price must be paid.
