He would have signed last summer but the Leafs didn't want to meet his ask.That was his choice. He wanted to be last to sign. The Leafs would have signed him already if he wanted to. Stop trying to make everything a problem
That’s what got them into the playoffs.19-8 before Nylander
That’s what got them intoNot too bad William is making about $1 million a goal That’s a bargain
We haven't won a Game 1 post-lockout. Hopefully that changes this year.Gonna make a prediction.
Winner of Game 1, wins the series

Willy needs to start shooting to hit the net. The number of shots that miss the top corner is crazy.Nylander works very well with him. He just has no finish. This year.
I mean. How many times can he hit the post or miss? It’s nuts.
Matthews has had to play with rookies/grinders/old timers his whole career. Willy last year and for like 10 games this year have been the only reprieve
Gonna make a prediction.

I've always found Games 2 and 4 to be the important onesGonna make a prediction.

Yeah, but it was a nothing game. Saturday is another nothing game too, so, I expect another loss.I see us "contenders" are heavily backing into the playoffs.
Talk about losing games going into the most important time.
Gud pros
8-17 against the top 10 D teams. The Leafs are lucky to be in the playoffs.
He plays on the outside since his injury. He's obviously afraid to drive the net. He doesn't deke much anymore.I think the reason is that he gets double teamed all the time and his wingers never get open to receive his passes; they third man from the opposition always cuts his out shadowing the rotating winger but if the winger isn't willing to "engage" in board battle they lose the puck and matthews gets frustrated and tries to do a lot by himself
I have a bad feeling that our depth is overrated. We are not getting a lot of scoring from guys not named Matthews, Marner, and JT. Haven't all year.
Our 4th line is getting killed out there against recently.. They might be cheap when it comes to Cap usage, but its starting to show also that you get what you pay for.
When Matthews and Marner new cap busting deals kick in the gap between the haves and have-nots the first group are very wealthy and the second group are very poor is also going to be very reflective of his in terms of depth and talent level.
We as Leaf Nation are going to have to get use to JT, Mitch and Auston caring the load nightly offensively because proportionately they will be consuming a very large portion of the hard cap space.
Yikes. You guys dont give it a rest. One more time...willy finished his elc. He was already overpaid based on his production. Willy already got 7.5MM normalized for 6 years which is a better contract than Drai, who is paid only 1mm more for 2 more years. Marner could have taken Nylanders contract and easily re-signed for over 11.5MM to exceed drais contract over 8. Nylander would NOT have gotten more. This is the NHL, not a soup line for bums.It would also have probably meant paying Nylander more
he is an offensive minded D for one, and two Babs wanted to see him under pressure, he did well and kept his poise...no complaints from me, hockey's hard I knowWhy is Rosen on the ice with the goalie pulled?
