The team, the fans, the production in the arena, they all quit. Unbelievable.

Hope not. And then hope it continues into the next 37 consecutive seasons. Let them annually score A goal against the Otters, just because.

Will Leafs score again this series?

Finally hearing an organ at Scotia. What is wrong with Toronto? Get the loud sound crap going to get some crowd energy. The period ends in boos.

Oh my, 4-0

ScotiaBank sounds like KeyBank Center on any February Wednesday night.

Yeah, not sure if I played it on Nintendo or Atari.

Well that's not how you finish a period

Doesn’t look like the Amerks are winning this series. Laval is just a bit faster and more aggressive. Lots of interference and late hits let go.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. Again.

Also just b.c it's the best one.

Toronto absolutely throwing up all over themselves, you absolutely have to love it! And as far as any free Agent Toronto player, I wouldn’t touch them with a 10 foot pole.

Right now Laval dominating-- men against boys.

Watching the camera shots of their fans faces is delicious. The one of the woman with tears after the third goal was special. I can’t wait until my conference call with my Mississauga warehouse in the am. I’ll play coy and ask if anyone watched the game last night.

Leaves are dying on home ice. Their faithful remorse.

Samson is so awesome

Needed a period to shake off the rust and wake up. Amerks look much better in the 2nd.

The Leafs are trying to match the physical game the Panthers bring which is not the kind of game that got the Leafs into the playoffs.

figured i'd share a link to the game in case anyone needs it. Since its on youtube i figured it was safe to share 3-2 Amerks 😛

Not really. What would be the first thing that LM would advise TP to do without even doing an extensive organizational examination? It would be to find another GM. What credible hockey person wouldn't say the same obvious thing. If the owner was going to bring in an outside overseer, then seek out a number of candidates and then select the best one. The owner went the closed route when selecting a new HC instead of opening up the position to a number of candidates. And in my opinion, that would be the best approach to take. (I'm not getting involved in the issue of how good Ruff is as a coach.) It's the limited and restrictive process that TP has used that has failed him. He's got to be less insular in how he manages the franchise.

Tuned in. Kozak to the net, Clague with a nifty backhand centering pass, and Helenius' shot picks a corner with the screen. Tied.

So, seriously, you WOULDN'T see bringing in a guy like Lamiorello as an indication that Pegula is changing the way he operates? How would that in any way be keeping to his modus operandi we've grown accustomed to since Craig Patrick and Pat Lafontaine left?

I don't see the bringing in of an older hockey front office man with an overall distinguished record but also someone who is way past his prime as a solution to anything. LL was dispatched by another organization because it was time for a change and fresh start. Terry Pegula seems to be insulated from how normal franchises run and resistant to outside advice as to how to get his franchise out of its generational rut. Why is that the case? Because it is the way this stubborn owner wants it to be. This clueless owner has the ability to seek advice from many accomplished sources (free of charge) as to why the franchise he presides over is stuck. You don't have to formally hire someone to get some basic advice such as when you hire an ill-equipped person to be your GM, it is likely that the outcome won't be good. And he doesn't need outside expertise to tell him that when he hires someone who wasn't prepared do the job and has not succeeded at the job in five years, then keeping him on the job would never be the solution to digging yourself out of this quagmire of failure. Common sense 101! This franchise is a ridiculed franchise where players with no trade clauses usually have Buffalo at the top of their "not going there list". This is a franchise where many players not only didn't want to come here but where its own best players were aggressive in getting out. Until this obnoxiously stubborn owner decides to be receptive to common sense outside advice that is readily available to him, little will change. This billionaire with the big boat reminds me of the Washington Redskins/Commanders situation during the ownership of Dan Snyder. His interfering and ego driven style of management crippled that franchise for a generation. Once he left the scene with an enlightened owner taking over, the franchise quickly rebounded to NFL relevance again. That's what we have here under Pegula. We have an ownership problem. Until he changes the way he operates, the franchise will continue to fade into hockey oblivion.

The blatant corruption is on full display and it’s perfectly OK with the MAGA scum in Congress. Then again, they’re just fine with a convicted criminal holding the office so it’s no surprise.
