Kassian taking runs at guys that last period. Trash

 

[Legion34]

We could've ended up with Theodore or Burakovsky also.

soooo it’s a. Draw then?

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Pre concussion prime Sid
There's only 2 other names in that name in that convo and theirs numbers flipped upside down match

Yep, that's pretty much my opinion as well. I lean towards Crosby being the player that could pop in any era and be the best player in the league.

McDavid is amazing. Best player on the ice.

But I don't think he's in the same tier as say, prime Crosby. He's probably the best skater + stick handler combination I've ever seen. Great shot. Good passing. Good hockeyIQ. But I don't think he's in that Crosby category.

Different players to be honest

Crosby owned you along the boards. Unfortunately, that was his demise. His body took a lot of beating

2019 is designed for players like McDavid. Even early Crosby days, he used to take a lot of beating. There were still a lot of goons and career AHLers playing in NHL trying to make a name for themselves

There Defencemen were that were nasty. They don't exist anymore, that gives players like McDavid a green light to skate around as he pleases

Nah play it safe and take the guarantee elite defensive 3rd line centre

 

[The Big Swede13]

Leafs need to keep pushing. Top guys havent done anything yet and were only down 1

 

[The Masters]

anyone who eats eastside marios should be shot

 

[Sniper99]

Wasted 11 mill on this quitter. Could of used that money towards a big name Dman.

Please win this for the memes

 

[frizzer1]

Tavares has been the worst Leaf today

Marincin and Hyman coming on strong.

 

[Kazparov]

Why did Freddy get pulled?

Not me, the moron on the panel of your tv screen was part of the management trying to sell this to us

Nice post. And I agree with just about everything you said - they're about as different as elite players can get.

 

[Sinkkunaattori]

Felt whole game like this is one of those tricky games where they hang around just near enough to keep you watching but lose in the end anyway.
Buuut maybe there's something else after all! Sure is nice seeing the depth guys score when the big boys are all off (so far).

Hey, my Grandma eats East Side Marios!

 

[Kamiccolo]

No such thing for the Leafs

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Crosby will never be touched imo. Probably my favourite player. He was the best player besides gretzky and lemieux.

 

[Notsince67]

And Drai is a sissy

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Here.

Did i miss any goals ?

McDavid is only 22 years old (23 next week). He's increased his point total every year of his career.

why

 

[fahad203]

Sets up for Matthews to come through. He needs to find ways to stand out, not be a spectator when there's another star in town

Only star I have seen Matthews really go against is Eichel. Probably because they are buddies

 

[CreeksideStrangler]

I would trade Tavares for a guy like Kadri

lol. 48 goals last year... people have the memory of a goldfish
