Let’s not Leaf the Jays boys. Who cares about contracts and AAV. Let’s talk performance and line ups and stories. Like Manoah Yesavage and Beiber starting next 3 bison games. Hyped for it to see what happens and how they can potentially help the team down the stretch. Unfortunately Manoah pooped the bed today but still eager to see how the other two do the next couple of days. Definitely reason to be excited as a Jays fan with reinforcements on the way to the pitching staff.
The Jays have been a great surprise this season and hopefully still have some things up their sleeves.
Nice to see Vlad finally clutch.
If Beiber and Yesavage can contribute at good level, watch out. Should be fun down the stretch!
Right? Good riddance. Wish it could have worked but he failed us, and he by far wasn’t the only one, Matthews too, but at the end he wasn’t good enough and he quit on us before we quit on him. His true colour’s have always shown but the regular season play acted as a blinding light. Among the core 4 who hasn’t brought us success, hes really the only who was never injured in the playoffs.
NEW YORK — Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin scored goal No. 895 on Sunday, passing Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky to become the NHL’s all-time goal-scoring leader.
Ovechkin, on a pass from longtime teammate Tom Wilson, netted the record breaker in a 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders with a power-play goal past fellow Russian Ilya Sorokin with 12:34 left in the second period of Sunday’s game — the 1,487th game of his career, the same as Gretzky’s career total.
“This is something crazy,” Ovechkin said after the game. “I’m probably going to need a couple more days. Maybe a couple weeks to realize what it means to be No. 1.
“All I can say: I’m very proud. I’m very proud for myself. I’m really proud for my family, for all my teammates, that helped me to reach that milestone, and for all my coaches. It’s huge. It’s an unbelievable moment.”
With Gretzky and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman in attendance, the game came to a standstill as players and fans celebrated the historic moment.
“They say that records are made to be broken, but I’m not sure who’s going to get more goals than that,” Gretzky said before shaking Ovechkin’s hand.
When Casey Cizikas took a tripping penalty seven minutes into the second period, the arena echoed with chants of “Ovi! Ovi!” from the considerable number of Capitals fans who attended the Islanders home game.
Ovechkin ripped his shot from the top of the left circle — aka the “Ovi spot” where he has scored the majority of the goals in his career. He turned and did a belly slide over the blue line into the neutral zone as his teammates hopped over the boards in celebration.
It was his 42nd goal of the season, which is second only to Gordie Howe (44 in 1968-69) for a player aged 39 or older.
U like beer. I like beer. O like beer. A like beer
“Dad i suck” lol. He’s always had confidence issues.
Won’t let me quote or reply either but not sure what you’re saying.
Draisaitl 96 games, 52 goals, 141 points.
Marner 70 games, 13 goals,63 points.
One deserves premium top dollar one doesn’t. One has earned it, one hasn’t when it counts.
None of use would care what Marner is making if he put up the Draisaitl stats and got us to 2 cup finals whom 99% of leafs nation as never seen this team get to. Our heroes we’ve watched got to the 3rd round what.. 3 times in ours lives 0 finals appearances.
Its my opinion, which isnt worth a pair of nuts on a mouse, but we wouldn’t be bickering cap issues of our top players if they performed like the top players on teams winning cups or going deep consistently.
Part of me is wondering as well if Marner sees himself as the next C in Vegas… I have no reason why, it’s just a curiousity.
A desirable place to live with his family while leading a team versus being just the A in a viscous and most intense hockey crazed city. I can understand his choice but I’m glad it’s made and that he is gone, that guy is not a leaf.
Vegas isnt that soft and easy of a destination. They make hard decisions and expect a lot. They win cups or go deep and if they feel they aren’t good enough and can be better they trade guys that have gotten them there before in the past to be better now Marner isnt captain material and will crumble under that pressure. If he doesn’t perform at an elite level and falters he won’t last his whole term there. Marner is weak mentally, sad to say.
El Prince-o! Good to see you here too. So envious you got to see a cup!
But to add to my point to Dozzster, not you, aren’t we going hard on Matthews bonus vs actual annual salary too?
Their guys earned their massive contracts…our guys got it despite not earning. We gave our core 4 EVERY LITTLE THING, NTC, NMC, bonuses, top dollar, less term anything and everything they wanted and all we got in near a decade was 2 playoff rounds won. Perspective helps!

In other words Dozzer, Draisaitl is everything Marner isnt. A playoff performer. Willing to stay in Canada. Someone who elevates his team. A player who doesn’t whine but leads and consistently. Is committed and not greedy. And doing it in Edmonton of all places. #earned his 14 million. You can ask for big money when you lead your team deep. Marner wanted it all without leading his team anywhere. Draisaitl is so much like Rantanen who we could have instead of Marner but Marner marnered, and here we are.
