Very informative! Love this video. Was not aware of these issues. Thanks for bringing them to the forefront! Great video! 🎉😊
Love your content ❤️
"Vegas and Florida, they BLEEP you in the mouth".
They sure do. 🤣🤣🤣
This video is bang on. They let Hyman walk because the money was all tied up in the core fore. They couldn't afford an extra couple million and now he's killing it in Edmonton making 5.5M. Now Marner wants evem more money and it will just perpetuate the choke machine. The Leafs will probably sign him too. Because him amd Matthews are filling the arena in the regular season. I'm hoping the firing of the Shannyplan will change that. Every year we improve some aspect of the team/organization. But the leadership should have been changed first. They should have given the C to Knies last year. Now I feel he is being molded into another generation of choke artists. Rielly, Marner, Tavares and Matthews all need to go. They are the FAILING IDENTITY of this team.
Very nice thanks for sharing
