GDT: Around the League 2023-24: The Marathon Becomes A Sprint

[CantHaveTkachev]

Tyler Wright skipped over Johnston even though both Staios and Coffey were trying to convince him otherwise. Never forget.

Jeff Jackson didn’t forget and That’s why Tyler Wright is unemployed

 

[Cloned]

That Staois and Coffey part is confirmed?

Edit: f*** Tyler Wright

I think so. At least one of them did.

 

[foshizzle]

I think so. At least one of them did.

Bob Stauffer has confirmed both

 

[TheNumber4]

I think so. At least one of them did.

Damn how did the wright screw this up. Coffey mentored the kid. He could have been an Oiler for life with Coffey around.


And then there’s this:
Paul Coffey, who'd tell any NHL scout and general manager who'd listen that Johnston doesn't rely solely on his offensive skills.

"It didn't matter what point of the game it was - if I needed to win a faceoff, to kill a penalty, to score a goal, Wyatt was always the first guy I tapped to go out there," Coffey recalled of a teenager with "off the charts" hockey sense.

 

[BlackDogg]

Hyman, your up. You need a goal to keep pace with the Leafs.

Dude sucked in Columbus before Holland made the emergency hiring of Wright in Detroit too.

Tyler Wright is an idiot and Ken Holland an even bigger idiot for giving him free rein when he hasn’t drafted worth a shit since he’s been here.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Anyone else laughing at the fact that the Leafs have 7 goals in 4 playoff games, while Hyman has 6 goals in 3?

Holland has left the cupboards bare with his moronic drafting. Let’s hope we cash in soon…

 

[bellagiobob]

This whole scene was hilarious. Mitchy reacts about how you’d expect him to, having a hissy fit.

Our new head scout also has sucked for years so I don’t see drafting gettjng better.

ONCE AGAIN NOTHING
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Coming soon to Amazon Prime Video!

 

[Drivesaitl]

Bertuzzi oblivious to any discussion on the bench. Thinking about when the playoffs are over and being able to lay back on crack ranch.

The Leafs never disappoint and the mindset of that core was never going to get anything significant done. The kind of players that WANT to be on the fashion run way depicted in Slapshot. But not to shake it, they can't find it.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Was just that Dallas got the W in OT but WTF Seguin? Finish something. Robertson, Hintz, the same. These guys scoring just disappears in playoffs. Suddenly they pass off eveything, take muff shots.

Thompson was good but Dallas have been building his confidence all series. Should be 2-1 Dallas in series. They've been by far better club in two of the games. Dallas players get so uptight around net in playoffs. Convince themselves they won't score with the type of shots they are taking.

Should it only be Johnson figuring it out? Beauty goal in OT, good patience. Was the only time in night a Dallas player had Thompson guessing.

[Giggleplex]

Matthews literally shitting his pants as the Leafs figuratively do the same was kind of poetic

 

[McShogun99]

We don't have to worry about him as much now because we don't give him any draft picks to work with.

If I'm a rebuilding team I'm the guy 'helping' the Leafs shed the Marner contract. It is absolutely unfair the kind of criticism he's taking in that market. And it's going to lead Treliving into making another horrendous series of moves.

Marner is a good hockey player who plays for a team that had gotten shallower and shallower year over year.

I just question what the best course of action is for the Leafs here.

I almost wonder if Marner has more value in a 50% retained deal, than he does in a sign and trade? Do one re-tool year in Toronto, and then load up when the Marner/Tavares deals are off the books?

Don't get me wrong, Marner is a great player. But what contender has the cap space to add him at full value plus a potential raise long term? What up and coming team wants to shed big assets to build around a small winger with no playoff urgency?

Hellybuicks stats so far are more horrific than this site on mobile.

Lol the free overtime sickness

 

[The Moose]

Jets look overwhelmed, the Avs are all over them.

Edit: They score! Come on Jets, win this one!

Oh damn, this is coming off, offside.

Good goal!
