This Babcock stuff is nuts. He burned his bridges in Detroit. He burned bridges in Toronto. He didn't even make it to the season to burn his bridges in Columbus. Now Darryl Katz is driving this hiring while his nepo baby son is interviewing him. Today Oilers media trying hard to throw...

I mean ultimately, part of the reason why Vegas the Leafs are in a different spot is because of Marner's contract. He played a hand in the cap strapped nature of the team. Ultimately that's on Dubas for signing the deals but when his agent was running around after Matthews deal it set a pretty...

Given that the free agent class is either going to be horribly expensive or is just mediocre we are probably going to see a handful of these guys get a fair shot at making the team. It seems easy to say that Villeuneuve at least fits the mold for puck movement. Rifai always seems like a guy...

Man the media must be desperate for the Leafs to keep this retool going as long as possible. If the Leafs go into rebuild mode where they have make 8000 stories about meaningful decisions it will kill 80% of their content.

It's a moot point because they won but wow AHL officiating is terrible.

What a surprising and pleasant run. Ally Styles wins it in overtime Back to the AHL Finals

Sure McKenna has great metabolic reserve....but I want to hear more about important things like ....if you were a sandwich, what kind of sandwich would you be and who would you want to be eaten by

I mean the goaltending hasn't been great but I don't see how this ends as an indictment of the Leafs. He was a good player in Toronto. This is nothing like anything we saw out of him in Toronto. He had to move on for this to happen. The only thing it highlights for me is that guys can take...

It's be cool if players forced their way to Toronto. Everyone wants to go superstar mode twice a year here but don't seem to want to do it 82 times a year

Yeah. Treliving is probably the worst GM we had since the cap started including JFJ. I think Zharovsky is actually a solid prospect but thats not a great return for trading a guy who is in your division against your longest rival.

Big win in OT for Carolina. They looked dead until under 10 left in the 3rd

I mean 6-7 of those 8 forwards sucked most of those years. I'm sorry that we didn't respect the performances of Alexander Kerfoots and Calle Jarnkrok more. Their 0-1 goals in 10 games were truly under appreciated. I do think the Leafs screwed up by not splitting guys up more. I will...

So Chayka will travel to White Horse to see McKenna but not Arizona to see Matthews. (sarcasm intended) Unless a team offers a stupid package I see absolutely no scenario where we don't draft the BPA and that is McKenna.

Marlies tie it up 3-3 late....and then blow it even later. The officiating continues to be bad in this series

I think this is a bad team. For a team that is supposed to be good defensively it's pretty mediocre. They don't run the bases well. They don't hit for power. It just seems like a poorly designed team that is desperately missing a middle of the order bat

No offence to the work that some of our goalies put up over the years, but honestly, there was maybe only one or two series in the Matthews era were we had the better goaltender at the end of the round. It's hard to blame the goalie too much when the team only scores 1 or 2 goals but it's also...

Outside of Pelley being a dolt at press conference and Chayka being a bit too happy to use Corporate phrasing I can't say that I'm frustrated with any of the moves the team has made so far. I would have liked to see Pridham stick around, but I'm also not really that devastated that he's gone...

Not that we want him to be hurt but I'd rather it be this than load management

His highs are really high. He just can't be used in those late leverage situations and they need to start treating him like a middle reliever. If he's dealing, he stays in the game, but they need to have a guy ready to come in because when he doesn't have the zone, he walks guys and then gets...

Hard to see this move as anything short of a positive.
