Stamkos can easily regain leverage if he hints at signing with Florida on a heavily discounted 1yr deal.

- Thread starter Leaf Rocket
- Start date
But I thought @DistantThunderRep told us over and over that there is no tax advantage…..
Maybe the Tampa forum accountant can tell him that there is no advantage and he should get paid what he’s worth.
We win again 2-1. This is the only way to beat Boston (and Florida and teh Cup for that matter).

It's sad, but I guess it is what it is. Florida has way more firepower than Boston, so I think you'll need to average more than 2 goals a game

Any bidding war for him would have been something special (and I'd have wanted Toronto to have been right in the thick of it).

Florida is likely going to mop up whoever wins our series. But stranger things have happened I guess.

Probably, but I think the Leafs have a better chance than the Bruins to pull off the upset.
The PP can't be bad forever lol
Have to wonder if we just completely overhaul the PP soon. It's not like we're generating quality chances

Florida will be the favorites whoever they play.
Though I do think the Leafs roster is better prepared to handle their heavy forcheck this time around

Leafs or Bruins won't get much of a break at all. Gonna be really rough, especially with a team dealing with a lot of injuries.

Interesting that game 1 of round 2 will likely be played before a potential game 7 of a West series
Don't remember the last time that happened in the NHL

They've started doing it more in recent years. It's something they're copying from NBA. The later starts (8PM) is also an NBA thing.
There is zero chance they get pushed around like last year. Every game was close woth 3 going to OT. If the backend can punish Florida and wear them down a bit.... Who knows?

Pittsburgh had a worst powerplay than the Blackhawks and Reirden was the guy to handle their PP. With the talent they had, it was unacceptable. It wasn't just bad for a couple months, it was bad for a whole season. Apparently Sullivan refused to make changes to his staff, so maybe they are about to change their head coach eventually?

Don't blink if Tre calls Sullivan if things go wonky for the Leafs Saturday (which they won't BUDS ALL DAY)
Not surprising. But I'd imagine and nyi May want to consider a new voice sooner than later. Lou's done some good work with them building them back up, but I think someone with a different vision might be needed at this point.

I have Nashville and Vegas extending their series to 7 games tonight on my bingo card. Going to be good games to watch as a neutral observer.

Say what you want about Dubas but it seemed like a very justified firing
It’s honestly shocking how little we seem to have done to try to fix it.

I dunno, on one hand, it might be true, but who's to say Lou won't adjust his approach now that he laid the ground work.
You're odds are you might change him for Dubas
