It's true. 2 years ago, leafs were mediocre. Anderson was garbage. Last year leafs were quite good. Anderson was vezina caliber. The Season hinges more on his play than anything.

And Andersen is a good goalie. But when you look at their wingers it's bad. I know Nylander is out due to contract talks but without him their only legit wingers are Marleau and Brown. That's rough. Like, Tyler Ennis with Matthews should never ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to cost him 1.26 million. He only makes 1.1, this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a repeat offender, 20 seems a little heavy handed. Appeal for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Nylander their third line is xxxx - Kadri - Brown That third spot filled with one of Johnsson, Kapanen, Leivo, Ennis as Babcock juggles the lines Not sure that is really weak as far as third lines go Its their RHD (Hainsey, Zaitsev, Ozhiganov) that is dogshit especially if Hainsey shows signs of age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate people trying to poke holes in the Leafs' lineup, and it's true that RD looks sketchy. But the fact remains they are absolutely top-5 in the NHL, talent-wise. It's not going to be easy for them (and I think that's what the media is getting wrong: these aren't the 1977 Montreal Canadiens FFS, this is a league of parity) but rational analysis puts them easily among the Cup favourites. F**k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Speaking of dumb decisions, did anyone notice that the Vancouver Canucks have banned Fortnite on the road? Way to make the tough choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to see it differently - not so much about pampered millennials as arsehole Gen-X and Baby Boomer team bosses being alarmist about Kids Today. "WE didn't play Fortnite! So it's bad!!" My question to the Canucks is, if instead of playing Fortnite, a bunch of players were quietly reading or watching TV in their hotel rooms, would they then ban reading or TV viewing on the road? What the hell is the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell is the difference? If they read until 4:00 a:m yes. Hey I'm all for you guys being understanding about the generation gap. But I can tell you I can relate way more to my dad's baby boomer ways than my kids ways. I got no time for it. And refuse to make time either. Not becoming a narcissist to appease popular culture.
