Why wouldn?t Melnyk want someone else to pay out Capuano?s contract...

Spite. Not sure which side it?s aimed at, but it?s spite.

Friedman mentioned that the sens are beefing with Capuano, so, I'm editorializing here: he's their hostage.

4 year contract with NYR, for the coach who has only ever gone up to 3 seasons with a team before.

For a second there, I really thought they were going to sharpie out part of the nameplate.
 
It?s going to be so great when their fans realize the style of play that allowed the Habs to beat better teams in the playoffs doesn?t work over the course of the regular season, when penalties actually (sometimes) get called.

I mean, you don't even have to care about analytics to realize thats in an obvious losing record with horrible goal differential. Maybe they argue they lost Price for a big chunk but still. The way Dreger spouted off today about how great of a job Ducharme did over the regular season vs. Julien was just moronic.

This is what I hate about the NHL.  They have a totally different standard of rule enforcement in the playoffs, so much so that a crappy team that wouldn't even qualify for the playoffs over 82 games playing clutch&grab trap type hockey manages to go all the way to the final.  If the NHL wants to promote it's stars, stop letting scrubs get away with anything in the playoffs so that the stars can actually perform.

It is weird how the NHL appears to get more lenient on their standards in the playoffs, while other major leagues tend to get more strict with theirs.

Yep.  That being said, the Leafs putrid powerplay screwed themselves.  There were a few times in the series they went 0-4 in a game.  Had they had a semi lethal PP it would have gone a long way to discouraging the Habs from taking liberties, and would have won the Leafs the series.

I get that you can't just keep changing the coaches and hope that makes the players work but the lack of any sort of adjustment outside of Sandin coming in late in the season was the only thing they did was infuriating....and then we are coming back with the same core of players and the same fricking assistant coach.

I mean the good news is they really did a great job in the playoffs with their:

xGoal%: 48.77% and -10 goal differential in the playoffs.  They won 13 games and only 4 of them were by more than 1 goal.  Six of their wins came in overtime.

The Leafs had an xGoal% of 56% against Montreal and lost.
(Edmonton had a 57.5% xGoal% and lost against Winnipeg).

I really am starting to dislike the NHL.  I watch less non-Leafs hockey than I ever have in the last few years.  I'm glued to the NBA playoffs (and basketball has its own set of officiating problems).  I don't like how the game is being treated.
