I do think that the microscope on the bench exchange between the stars of Leafs are a little overblown.

Most players would say some crazy shit on the bench, arguments between players during a game is not uncommon. Display of frustration is nothing new. This is just more or less a normal hockey moment. I don't know why Leafs nation themselves are making such a huge deal out of it.

It’s a normal hockey moment for losing losers who lose.

7 HC changes this season so far.
Edm, Stl, Ott, nj, Buf, SJ, NYI.

Have Columbus looking for new gm this HC not safe.

Possible we hit double digit HC changes before next season begins? If Pitt and tor make changes as well?

should rob blake not be fired? it seems like he's taken the steps multiple steps backwards this year from up and coming contenders to cannon fodder playing a suicide trap to maintain the pretense of competitiveness. to me the only thing holding the kings up is doughty and kopitar, and he inherited them.

Avs are looking like they are back
I really thought they were dead in the water with their nightmare matchup against the Jets, but damn have they shown up in this series. f***ing wild, I wonder who can stop them.

As long as Georgiev gives them average goaltending, they will blow through all opponents the way they are playing.

Jets look slow and behind the play, Avs are looking dominant.

i find myself almost feeling bad for the leaf star players. they are being utterly humiliated. yet the truth is there has been zero growth of that team since they signed tavares. his cap hit and the fact he blocked the young guys from owning the team has destroyed that core.

otoh, i really dislike keefe for some reason and have zero compassion for him. somebody called him a big baby recently and i think that captures his character.

His timing of when to speed up the rebuild was flawed. Not enough actual production from the next wave before he pushed for those soon to be ufas. Their return to the PO was led by their aging vets.

Easy bud. The calculator dork said they can and they will and a decade of failure is a little quick to judge that mm?
