I will say I love how amped Jack Eichel gets for leafs games. He is looking very dangerous tonight (in a good way)

I don't think anyone would seriously say getting rid of Ennis was a bad thing. These aren't the droids you're looking for.
You're right I clearly got trolled by responding. Lol

Oh boy! A 5 on 3!
Wonder how we can mess this one up...

Must you always be right? Your simply grasping at straws on the goalie pull. Hutton is not going to fall apart because he got pulled. He is a vet and knows the score.
Uhlmark made 5 remarkable saves. Be pissed about the team standing around, or for the continuous stream of breakaways, not about the goalie pull.
I'm more concerned that the team didn't wake up after the goalie got pulled and Tyler ***** Ennis scored a breakaway goal.
This team has the mental fortitude of a teddy bear

Botts has gotten rid of a lot of useful players...
Come on now, Ennis wasn't useful for the Sabres OR the Wild. Toronto has given him the only niche role he can be useful in.

They just look shell shocked. They're shitting their pants left and right

Ennis has 9 goals this year? That’s annoying...
I know it seems like we couldn't wait to get rid of him like 5 years ago. He was barely an NHL player for a while and now all of a sudden he's useful again

Played with fire one too many times

They haven't woken up at all, Linus is just saving thier bacon left and right

I know circumstances tonight required him to play, but Hunwick can probably just stay in the press box going forward.
He's decidedly not good at NHL hockey

The thought occurred to me that the Leaves were playing a slow game in the first to lull the Sabres.
Haha that's some next level *****

You don't always make a GT change due to GT play
Correct

It's amazing how they are able to play with good teams when they hustle and focus, then immediately throw it away once they get complacent

Wake the ***** up!!!

May the Leafs leave Jack open in the center of a prime goal scoring area then have the defense move out of the way so he has an open look at the net on every power play.
This seems like a good strategy for us. Can you let all the other teams know?

Brandon Montour sounding less than enthusiastic.
Let's give the guy a break. He just took the red eye into town last night. If he still sounds non-plussed in a week then let's talk

Yeah, I concur. They are going to try another run with largely this group next season I suspect. Although, admittedly, none of us are privy to what type of conversations were had this round that may bare fruit in the off season. But I to think they'll largely keep this forward group intact. Would love to rip Rakell from them but that's just a day dream I know.
Getting back to Anahiem - if they aren't able to shed Getzlaf and Kesler's contracts, then they are going to be unsuccessful in rebuilding, even if the rest of the "new" core turns out good. I don't think you can field anything more than an average team when your two largest contracts are on the downside of their careers.

Yeah kinda.
I've had page long debates with WildCard on a number of issues and never once have I felt like he didn't respect my opinion, even if we are arguing polar opposite points. I have had similar debates with mostly everyone on this board.
I have seen others come and go who were clearly trolls, and I can spot and ignore them. Jame's posts are ones with a lot of strong opinions, which all/most are also great hockey points that I would love to debate with, but I just can't do it when every post has a little personal dig in them that indicates that this poster doesn't seem to have an ounce of respect for the person on the other side of the debate. It's infuriating to interact with on a regular basis, but I keep getting sucked in by the good hockey points. Maybe i am being trolled. Who the ***** knows.

You're acting like the trading of a 24 year old defensemen indicates that they've completely changed their plan?
1. They signed a 28 year old pending UFA to a 5 year extension... 5 days ago. (Silfverberg). I mean that alone should be enough to sink your argument right? Instead of going to the trade market to get a 1st or prospects for Silfverberg... they re-signed him
2. Here is a list of the prime aged talent and long term deals they have: Rakell (25), Gibson (25), Lindholm (25), Kase (23), Fowler (27), Silfverberg (28), Manson (27). Do you honestly think they are going to tear down? Please note, that the attempted removal of Kesler and Perry is not a tear down in and of itself.
3. What the above is meant to illustrate is that Anaheim has already identified it's new core, they don't need a tear down to build one. The fact is that they identified that Montour was not part of that core. We can debate the reasons for that.... for sure, that's all subjective. But Anaheim has given zero indication they are doing a tear down.
That said, everything here is great content and supports the point that maybe it won't be a full tear down, even if they try to get out of the aging "star" contracts.
But there are still these little personal jabs that to me insinuate that you are better than us and were just daft for not getting it. It's tiring to engage with and makes it so I don't want to respond. Perhaps I need to get a tougher skin, but i've been here for almost 10 years and I have rarely felt so consistently personally attacked.
7 minutes ago, WildCard said:Well alright then. Maybe it's time I take a break too
Yeah dont. You aren't even close to the only one who feels this way.
If you leave, i'm leaving too.

Careful... they are really serious about this type of stuff here. I don't want you to get banned.
Sorry the use of the bold format offended you.
Dude seriously, stop talking to us like we are petulant children

I haven't seen a single fact presented that supports the argument that Anaheim is doing a tear down.
I was referring to the Kane trade valuation and GMTM points from earlier.
QuoteMaybe a quick recap would put me in my place.
Cool.
1 minute ago, Drunkard said:I like the trade and agree that it's in a similar vein to the Murray trades (multiple futures for a prime aged asset). Score one for Future Ex GM Jason Botterill (despite the fact that I'm not exactly a fan of his).
There's definitely an inherent bias by many on this board to jump on board with whatever decisions is made by the guy in charge at the moment and view it in the most favorable light.
This definitely happens. We all have a lot of hope that our team will get better rather than worse, so a reasonable faith in the GM comes along with that as long as he isn't demonstrating Chiarelli level incompetence.
I will re-iterate that I had no problem with either the Kane or ROR acquisition trades.

They were playing with them in the first period. The goals against in the second period happened when they stopped skating and started standing around. In my eyes it was a drop off in effort after they got too comfortable
