King of the retards in here flapping his gums and spewing so much shit from his mouth his asshole is jealous.
Winnington with a shut out – so retard was wrong as usual.
The constant glazing of Helly who has done nothing but crumble in playoffs is a retarded as fuck take – from the king of the retards.
Having to bring politics into a hockey conversation is a total retard move.
Yapping how the Leafs are going to be mulitple first round picks for players he has just shit on non-stop is such a laughable retard move. Pick a lane you moron – maybe ask Gronk to explain it to you like you are a 5 year old retard.
UG just change your name here to Super ‘tard – you’ve earned it 1000 times over by now.
RetardRanger right now.
Binningtom with a shutout through two periods 😂
Seriously, as I was saying, he’s a good goalie who plays solid as hell with a good team in front of him. No, he’s not the HoFer type who can carry a team but yes, he’s the type who plays really good with a good D.
And study up on Russia UG, the EU stopped buying their oil from them after the Olympic ban, Italy hasn’t bought anything from them since 2023. Primary suppliers are the US and Norway now, kind of one of the reasons I look the other way when it comes to the whole Venezuelan thing lol.
If Russia didn’t give the EU oil, the Olympics would be played in the dark. Should they boycott that too?
The EU still brings in billions of dollars of oil and products from Russia, even avoiding sanctions to do so. Your information, as usual, is completely wrong. The entire banning of athletes doesn’t do a damn thing except punish the athletes from competing and making it a truly best on best tournament. Banning athletes never has and never will win a war. It’s just stupidity.
Congrats to Binnington on getting a SO against a bunch of pylons with 5 goals for from the most elite forwards in the world. He could have let in 4 and still won the game. Binnington is well insulated. We’ll see if he still gets shutouts against the actual great teams in the tournament or not.
The facts are the facts. Canada’s biggest weakness is goaltending. The forwards are stacked, the blueline is stacked, the goaltending is the weak spot.
Please, Hellebuyck is still nothing more than 13-16-7 so he, as you said, not a goalie who can carry a team.
And Binnington is 8-17-6 in 32 starts with an.864 SV% and 3.65 GAA. Worst numbers of any goalie to play at least 32 games. He fucking sucks this year. Thompson should be the starter by merit. And Hellebuyck was the only reason Winnipeg won the President’s Trophy last year so he absolutely did carry his team, his team just sucks to make good use of it.
As for the rest of them sure they might be good, or bad, just like Bennington. I sincerely don’t feel like any of them standout severely enough to give any team a notable advantage so I shrug it off.
No, Binnington is clearly one of the worst starting goalies in the NHL this year. There are other bad teams that have goalies with better numbers. His are atrocious. You shrug it off because you’re biased. Reality is, Hellebuyck (+ Oettinger), Saros and any one of the three Swedish goalies give their team better goaltending than what Binnington has shown this year. It’s a clear, distinct disadvantage. It will be covered up because the Canadian blueline is very strong and their forwards can score 4-5 times a game but it is definitely their biggest disadvantage and clear as day weakness.
As for Russians, I feel bad for the athletes that their government won’t listen to the rest of the world. The Ukraine obviously means more than the Olympics to them *shrugs*
If Russia didn’t sell the EU oil, the Olympics would be played in the dark. Should they boycott oil too? They are actually stupid enough to do that too. Europe buys more oil from Russia than Ukraine receives in financial aid (which pieces of shit like Freeland are embezzling) but won’t let their athletes participate in sports? It’s absolutely retarded. It doesn’t make a single fucking difference. If Russia was there, they’d have 3 of the top 10 goalies in the world. Vasilevskiy, Sorokin and Shesterkin with Bob as #4 and the future Vasilevskiy, Askarov as #5. It wouldn’t even be close to determine which country has the the best goaltending.
Canada once had that type of depth (Brodeur, Roy, Belfour and Joseph all in one generation) but that doesn’t exist anymore.
Meh, I don’t think any team has remarkable goaltending this time around, not even the US, Winnipeg hasn’t done anything special this year. So since it’s a ? for every team it evens things out in my eyes.
Winnipeg fell off a cliff when Hellebuyck got hurt. And their goalie depth is crazy too because they have Oettinger and Swayman.
Finland lost today but their goaltending is better than Canada too, so is Sweden’s. For a hockey program like Canada, they should be top two in goaltending yet they’re probably 4th or 5th if Russia was allowed to play.
Binnington has a great record “under pressure” but he’s one of the worst goalies in the NHL this year. His tournament could end very quickly with one bad performance and there isn’t Brodeur or Belfour to replace him like once upon a time when Cujo got shelled in his first game. There is no Patrick Roy or Carey Price either.
Sweden vs Italy at the Olympics
Sweden leading the shots 31 to 4 but Gustavsson let two of them in so the game is tied 2-2 😂
This is precisely why so many question Canada’s biggest weakness; goaltending. A goalie won’t win you a game but he can lose one. Sweden still shouldn’t lose but it’ll be make their life harder for sure.
If Canada outshoots their opponents 8 to 1, they shouldn’t have a problem. It’s when it boils down to a tight game that it could bite you in the ass.
Santander out for 5-6 months. Great that the Jays didn’t get that extra bat. Saved money though, that’s more important.
It is funny when douche nozzles that are consistently wrong post ridiculous trade proposals. 4-5 first rounders without moving Nylander or Matthews? If the players were that good then playoffs would be guaranteed.
What is not so funny is the pages and pages of useless drivel we will all have to read when Tre doesn’t get us the 4-5 firsts.
What’s actually funny is retards who are completely unaware that teams (especially retarded ones like the Leafs) pay through the nose at the deadline.
What did Laughton cost the Leafs? What did Carlo cost the Leafs? What do depth players cost every single fucking year dumbass? They cost more than what they are worth.
So yes, the Leafs could get 4-5 1st round picks. They won’t be lottery picks. They’ll be anywhere from 20th to 32nd because contenders don’t yield lottery picks (unless you’re the retarded Leafs and trade a 1st to Boston and then tank the season).
The players, individually, are very good. The problem is, the combination of players and the entire system they play does not work for the current coach or core players this team has assembled. It’s the same reason Kessel couldn’t make the playoffs with the Leafs but won Stanley Cups with the Penguins.
If you still don’t understand any of that, copy and paste it into Grok and ask it to explain it to you as if you were a 5 year old. Maybe that will help retard.
Looks like the Canadian Women’s team is going to need some men to identify as women to win this tournament. Maybe keep the reserves fresh, give Bennett and Jarvis some ice time until they’re called up. Should be enough to win it all.
I think he’s a $4.5M cap hit on the open market.
A simular contract as Mason Marchment $4.5M/4yrsMcMann is going to hit the open market for the first time and he’s 30. He’s only made 3.6 million in his career so far and half of that is gone to taxes. This is his chance to get lifelong security.
With the cap going up and the Leafs sucking balls, he’s going to ask for 5 x 5 from the Leafs. But the cap is going up and there are a lot of teams out there who can afford to overpay so multiple offers brings that number up higher and he most likely goes whomever pays him the most.
If Seattle will take Rielly in any way shape or form trade him now. If the Leafs have to pay Vancouver to pay him in order get him to accept it who cares do it, after tonight, it seems doable right now, so just do it.
The “roomer” from the half ass Hockeybuzz Leafs blogger is that San Jose wants Rielly according to “sauces” that work for the Senatards. No matter how bad a player or their contract is, there seems to always be some dumbass GM out there willing to make a mistake. I don’t think San Jose is actually that stupid because I thought their genius move to grab Askarov showed their plan to build from the net out especially after having a foundation of Smith, Celebrini and Misa as their forward core all still on ELC. I doubt they would ruin that team by adding a D-man that is horrible at playing D. But you never know, they do have Reaves on the DEI roster.
That being said, they have few options available to them and many spots to fill for next year. After this season, the Sharks will have exactly TWO defenders under contract with Klingberg, Liljegren, Ferraro and Desharnais all set to become UFAs. Maybe they bring back Ferraro and one of Desharnais or Liljegren but needless to say, San Jose can fit Rielly under their cap with so many pending UFAs and Couture on the LTIR permanently. The Sharks will have 56 million dollars in cap space for next season looking to sign AT LEAST FOUR NHL defenders. If they view Rielly as a 45-50 point D-man (he still averages 51 points per season the last 5 years) who plays sheltered minutes, maybe they don’t care if it costs them 7.5 AAV with that much space available. And maybe Rielly doesn’t mind moving to the West coast and living near San Fran where he can ride every pride parade float (and pole) he can find.
I’d happily take a mid round pick (3rd rounder?) in return.
Wait, so the Dodgers overspending on everything that moves is a brilliant strategy, and the Jays are fucking retards for not doing the same.
But the Leafs overspending never works and they’re retarded for trying it. Got it.
Before you move the goalposts, yes, I realize the cap in the NHL is different from whatever bullshit “cap” MLB has.
If you realized that the cap in the NHL is different than the MLB then you should have stopped yourself from making that dumbass point and comparing apples to tire irons.
Overspending in the NHL doesn’t work. Overspending in the MLB does work. The Tampa Bay Rays went to the World Series on a shoestring budget and lost to…? The Dodgers. Then the Dodgers took their best pitcher from them and proceeded to win two more World Series. The Jays already spend a lot of money but to beat the best they have to spend more. That’s not because the Dodgers waste what they spend. They don’t have four overpaid DHs. They spread the money around different positions. What did the retard Leafs do when they already had Marner, Matthews and Nylander? They overspent on Tavares. More of what they already had and didn’t need more of.
The reality is, the Leafs have to overpay to get UFAs to come to Canada so those players have the privilege of being robbed by our dumbass government to support gender rainbow education in Malawi, taking guns away from lawful owners, or whatever the next dumb fuck program is.
This is by far the least retarded thing you’ve ever said. More of this please and less of the other stupid shit.
So, we better hope whoever we bring in can light a fire under some of our less motivated players.
Incorrect. The Leafs only available option, that they haven’t tried in 58 years, is keep all their draft picks and build the team from the ground up. As you mentioned earlier, these players don’t want to play in shit weather, with retarded rainbow taxes, and a lunatic media. They want to play on a winner though. And all those other factors start to matter less and less if the team is a winner. The Leafs have to build a team that can compete and the rest of the drama will fall by the wayside. Make it a goal to draft 100 players in 10 years. Even if you hit on 20% of 100 draft picks, you have 20 players you can form a foundation on, at multiple positions.
You know what else building a team through the draft means? It means you have players on ELC and on low paying contracts which means more cap space. It almost means you have a pipeline of replacements when some of those guys want too much money and can’t fit under the cap. It also gives you a pipeline to replenish draft capital by selling high on players and having the in house depth to replace them without losing results on the ice.
We finally have the cap space, use it.
Use the cap space on who? List the players. 40 year old Malkin and Ovechkin? Patrik Laine? Spending cap space on inconsequential players is just more of the same failure this franchise has engaged in for decades.
A first round pick is likely a longshot. A first and a prospect is a complete pipe dream.
Hopefully, they get a first from a desperate team, and then he returns to the Leafs July 1st.
A 1st is not a long shot. Carlo cost a 1st++. Laughton cost a 1st++. The deadline is the day where desperate playoff pretenders and contenders make mistakes.
Detroit, Montreal, Buffalo…all these teams are so excited they’re in a playoff spot they want to keep it. They want to make a run. The same reason the Leafs overspent their draft capital is exactly why these teams will be eager to do the same.
McMann to EDM for a 1st. Roy to SEA for a 1st. Laughton to BUF for a 1st. Carlo AND OEL to DET for two 1sts. McCabe to UTA for a 1st. Stolarz to MTL for a 1st.
Everybody can and will be sold.
Brad better not fumble this shit, Leafs have a penchant for selling at the wrong times or not at all.
Mcmann is cool and all, but he is 29 not like they are moving a young up and comer.Treliving is the most Leafy GM they’ve had in more than a decade. He absolutely will fuck this up.
I will say one thing about McMann, even though he’s probably going to get overpaid, Hyman was in the same boat when the Leafs let him walk. He signed for 5.5 and went on to score 50 after 30.
Not saying McMann will for sure score 50 but he’s fast, he’s a big body and he has a decent shot; all qualities better than Hyman. As much as I want the Leafs to sell high on him and bring in a 1st, knowing the Leafs history, he could be another one that got away.
All that being said, the odds are, he won’t be more than what he is now and the Leafs are better off with the draft pick and trying their luck to bring him back if he hits the UFA market.
apparently nothing will but you gotta start somewhere.
No, nothing will fix this fundamentally broken team, especially not a spending spree on a weak UFA options which include: 37 year old Bob. 40 year old Ovechkin. 36 year old John Carlson. 40 year old Malkin. Patrik Laine. Jacob Trouba. Kevin Hayes. Anders Lee. Shall I continue?
Absolutely nobody available can save this team. The “start somewhere” is fire Treliving and trade everybody over 25. The only UFAs the Leafs need are to reach the cap floor and picking up cheap contracts you can flip for a pick at the deadline.
