So...do they fire the coach now? Sure seems like he's reached peak frustration level. But like many coaches who received their pink slips, he just isn't getting the goaltending.
Dom over at The Athletic called Marner an "empty calorie" points-producer. I'm curious as to what that means--I assume it means he's piled up points in garbage time but not sure.
Friedman has said repeatedly on the 32 Thoughts pod that Toronto may not actually go for it this year and are looking more "big picture." Frankly I would be more than a little pissed if the powers that be was perfectly fine with wasting a prime year of the core four (at least TWO of them are playing like prime-age superstars) but then again there just might be way too much wrong with this roster, especially between the pipes and on the back end.
Steve Dangle's LFRs have been hilarious to watch though. He opened one of the latest just screaming "Brad! BRAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDD!!!" into the camera repeatedly.
