Tail?

Can someone give it to Mitts so he can get it out of the way?

To me, it just looks like he doesn’t value goalies as much as skaters when formulating his rankings of prospects.

Somebody save him!!

Give him a 1-yr qualifying offer. If he continues to improve more, show him the money mid-season. If he doesn’t take it, trade him at the deadline.

Can you imagine the poor kid who killed him? I would probably quit hockey. No way it’s going to be the same for him.

It’s amazing seeing a defenseman with those moves. Geez.

The rapid antigen test targets the nucleocapsid, not the forever mutating spike protein. That said, the delta variant did pick up 2 mutations in the nucleocapsid protein, which was passed down to the omicron. So, the sensitivity of the antigen test is no different than the delta. However, the nucleocapsid antigen doesn’t persist as long as the viral RNA detected by PCR.

The good news is Covid is going to run out of players to infect soon. Our season will be over before immunity wanes and we start all over again.

Sorry, should’ve been more clear. Savoie’s sh% is elevated because he’s getting most of his points on the PP. 9% is more sustainable because it’s at least the NHL average and I don’t think there’s a linear relationship between amateur hockey and the NHL.

Really? One is sustainable and the other one isn’t.

One of my friends watched it. Said she lost brain cells watching it and wanted her 2 hours back.

Agreed. I just think it’s shortsighted not to draft a potentially elite winger or RHD in order to draft a center with a 2C ceiling (or even a poor man’s 1C ceiling) just because we haven’t drafted many C’s in the last few drafts. That’s how bad teams stay bad.

We have been a bottom dweller for many years, so have needs everywhere. If you can’t see a drafted center becoming a 1C, you don’t draft him in the 1st and you take the BPA. We need elite talent pretty much everywhere (except maybe LHD).

Taxi Squad coming?

I understand. But, there has been layers of failure between Terry and the final scores of hockey games. Besides agreeing to sign free agents (or not) and selecting the people to run your hockey department, I’m just not sure how responsible Terry is for our losing streak. He doesn’t construct rosters nor coach players how to play (at least not that we’re aware of!). That said, Terry is directly responsible for hiring both TM and JB. And both of them were failures at the time of their firing. But can we honestly say we would’ve done things differently? Both TM and JB came highly regarded around the league. Is he responsible not hiring a team President to oversee hockey operations? Absolutely. However, TM was fairly insulated with experienced AGMs, so was likely acting as a de facto President. And hiring a president of hockey operations certainly wouldn’t have guaranteed success, as they would likely have been retreads. As for Golisano, if Terry was the owner at the time, I doubt both Briere and Drury would’ve left.

There’s so many bad NHL owners. Terry is tolerable. At least he has pockets deep enough to get FA help when needed. There’s few out there with the ability to spend as Terry can. Do we really want to go back to the small market mentality where we know we won’t be able to make any FA splashes? Do we want another caretaker owner like Galisano (“suffering”) where we know we won’t be able to compete?

Got the scooter attachment for our hoverboard for me, I mean, my son. Turns it into a mini go-cart.

The league should’ve had contingency plans already written out well before this. That another variant has popped up should be a surprise to no one (except our Federal government leaders).

People should be careful what they wish for. Hockey owners are not exactly choir boys. Since Knox, we’ve had a fraud. Then an owner who had Darcy break out the “suffering” word. Terry may meddle at times, as is his right, but I do think he values winning.

Make sure the Leafs are all health and well-rested?

Not a horrible thing considering our injuries and the Olympics-void will go away. Would like to get as many players back as possible.

Anyone know if Toker is still alive? It seems once players get sick or injured on this team, they disappear.

Can’t see why they would bring someone in to run the day-to-day when they have the business acumen of Kim under their roof.

I don’t see how the NHL could possibly go through with the Olympics at this point.
