Re: 2023-24 Season: Brad's Boys

Thought it was real cool how Matthews could take the team to the wood shed again for a new contract and the sports network taking heads paid by the same owners that own the team pretend it was a great extension signing. That greedy bastard... and I thought it was a Dubas problem negotiating with ...

Re: 2010-? Official Beer Hockey Thread

Did they have "that guy" wearing number 69? They usually do have one.

I've started the season with two stinkers out of three games. At that age where I still don't know if I am having a bad streak or if I lost a few steps over the summer. :suprisedtoangry:

Re: 2022-23 Season: Is this the Year?

I would argue that they have been terrible in spite of my "relax" stance posted earlier today. That said teams go through it and if they do that to start the year the drama of it all is magnified.

Two seasons in a row Marner has started the year off, that may be something they should look into if ...

Re: 2022-23 Season: Is this the Year?

Geeze ten games in and they are a 500 team. Bad start but the doom and gloom going on is ridiculous right now in Leaf land media.

Leafs, Pens, Avs, wild, Blues, and Preds all teams that are looking to be competitive and are 500 or worse and I still expect 4 of the 6 to make playoffs. Too early to ...

Yes this is the year the Leafs disappoint once again I would expect.

But hey at least a single round victory is now a success to us fans so the bar is good an low.

I think everyone has their always injured prospects just when the Leafs are involved you hear about it all the time. Robertson needs to make it happen now though.

Re: R1 #3 Toronto Maple Leafs Vs #2 Tampa Bay Lightning

What actually hurt this time is my Son was getting into this series and going out of his way to watch and I think the win would have hooked him for good. As far as I go this is nothing to me anymore for me and my emotions, as soon as they drew Tampa I knew 50/50 was an at best expectation and fully ...

Him: glum tone..."Yeah"

Him: "Yeah"

I am not sure how you and Butch do it (well yes I do...I am a Red Sox fan pre 2004 and to a certain degree the pre-2011-12 Bruins).

I keep my fandom very unemotional that is how I do it, but I have always been a stiff upper lip kinda guy being British born. From how much I got to know Butch's ...

Re: HEAVY HOCKEY

As this season progressed I feel the league has been moving towards calling the penalties that cause or prevent a likely scoring chance or change possession. Sure let the scrums and stuff have more leeway in playoffs but it is ridiculous to handcuff the skilled players in favour of the grinders. The ...

Re: R1 #3 Toronto Maple Leafs Vs #2 Tampa Bay Lightning

Due to playing myself only watched first two periods, obviously pleasing being a Leaf fan and Marner, Matthews, and Campbell all played great which is a good sign.

Great to see the speedy wingers looking to jump hard every chance they get penalty kill was working wonders. Giordano a couple of times ...

R1 #3 Toronto Maple Leafs Vs #2 Tampa Bay Lightning

Pretty marque match up. Tampa going for the three peat and Toronto going for not being a total embarrassment.

Toronto losing to Tampa should not be the end of the world but for Toronto and there past few playoffs that is where they are. That said they do have a far stronger looking team than they ...

Re: 100 point club

Eight and maybe still counting.
Thought Marner had a good chance, but he will come up short by 3 points as he is out tonight.
J.T. Miller is three points short and has two games to get there so good shot at it still.

First guy in a decade to hit 60 goals and did it in 73 games.
