We are one Zadorov trade away of being in the same boat so I'm not going to mock them for that.

That being said, I don't think the Leafs are built for the playoffs at all. They traded their grittiest player to us for our softest forward and dman.

Not even remotely in the same boat as the Leafs. Landeskog, Calvert, Johnson, Kadri, Cole. Hell, Calvert lead the league in fights last season.

We aren't even in the same stratosphere as the Leafs. We're not a team that can bully others around, but we damn sure have a HELL of a lot more grit/toughness/physicality than they do, and that's even if we traded Zadorov.

This and Mackinnon is a bull and Rants is not getting bullied. Leafs are butter.

Fair enough. I still think we're susceptible to getting bullied though, especially without Z.

Don't introduce logic into a Z conversation! :sarcasm:

Cole probably would have had more fights too if Tom Wilson didn’t cave his face in.

Canucks are having some fun with the Kings. Doughty looks like a genius.

Quinn Hughes got 3 assists tonight. Expect some annoying Canucks fans on the main board.

Edit: too late.

Re: Kaapo Kaako, obviously he’s having some growing pains but it’s my belief that David Quinn might very well be the worst coach in the National Hockey League. He’s little more than a younger version of Randy Carlyle.

I didn’t think Svechnikov’s Michigan goal would be topped for awhile but Tkachuks winner vs the Preds might have just done that. What a f***ing goal.
