That 4th line for the Cats looks pretty good
They weren't before and their team is objectively worse. So, no.
1 guy is missing. bottom 6 is better. its just the first line that's different. so calm the f down
who cares if they are big? big and no talent doesn't win – 34 will never win!!!!
Nope
Yes! The Maple Leafs will get the cup or the Oilers. Oilers and the Leafs will play in the 3rd round of the playoffs
I think this is the worst team in many years !! They just seem to over pay bums who can't do the job yearly
Helps Edmonton build around him and if that fails, easy to trade to the Leafs
CUP CONTENDERS?!?!? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is why Toronto is a joke
I’m ready for another season of heart break hockey fans 😂
enough with the Woll of sleep. if he has that big of problem. he is becoming a problem with no solution
Please tell your announcer friends to stop telling me players need their bagto get their flowers for more drip? Thanks.
For the love of all that is holy, can we just PLEASE waive Robertson already? IDAF if he scores 30 somewhere else… he doesnt fit in this lineup. Just get rid of him and stop middling already.
Edit: I also think Woll is having panic attacks. Its the only thing that makes sense.
If the Leaves are Cup contents, then I am 7 feet tall.
4 words constitutes talking bout Calgary lol ok boys 🙄😂
TO is good, but I dont know if id say cup contender
Not the Leafs that will say that but the media drama queens that will beat that drum. With Kyper probably leading the charge. We all know he can score. Just lacks defense and passing skills. Still butt hurt cause of Marner departure and can tell by his answers. Look forward to Leafs thriving without Marner!
Without Mitch Marner, the Leafs are a worst team than last season.
DFA Morgan Rielly!
Ehhh Kyper pickin the blues! Bout time they get some love!
Should only give a discount when they are over 38 years old 😂. No way I'm giving theae rich owners a break. Maybe if Taylor Swift was my wife I'd feel different
Leafsnet off and running again, this is the year lmao
Hell No are they going to buy one, if not they will never see one😂
I don't think they make the playoffs. How's that for a hot take. The NHL is growing predictable and boring.
Players let ppl know it’s their last year before retiring ALL the time. Being mad at Kopitar or anyone who does that is 🥴
Also saying Florida not becoming first team to 3Peat in 44yrs (in general, but especially when missing 2 best players who are HOFers in prime 2-6 months each) is not bold at all! They’d be first team to make 4 straight cups in 44yrs too!
Hi Nick. I think you are looking at Connors contract in the wrong way. You winning a cup in your career affects your view on it. You are talking like you work for the NHLPA. You are right about his contract affecting other players. Kaprisovs also affects other top players and teams. Connor has already made enough money that his great grandkids can't spend it. Ask Dionne, Thornton, Lindros, Oates, Sundin etc., etc., etc. when they take their last breath , would they rather have 150 million in the bank, or 100 million, and a Stanley Cup ring. 100% would take the ring!!!
The leaf's will get bounced from the playoffs in the 1st round again it's tradition
Not a chance in hell!
Moron
Oh lord.
No mention of the pens what’s up with that bois?! They beat sully in his first game as rangers coach! So glad we’re back to 2 hour shows tho looking good bois
You think they're worried Kampf will be an excellent 4C again and they won't be able to freeze him out again at a risk of receiving public backlash?
Bourney is right-they don't want him in the line up. Character issue maybe? Czechs are not quite like russians when it comes to locker room tumours but pretty close
