Holy shit, I even called the Bruins not getting anything done in the first two periods.Called it
Should have bought a lottery ticket.

Marner to Flames?Lots of teams would take his contract, but they either couldn't give the Leafs something equitable in the trade, or the wouldn't want to play there.
Utah could use a guy like him to market around, but there is almost zero chance he would accept a trade there. I read that he likes the Toronto spotlight.
Maybe he would ok a trade to Anaheim or Chicago. I doubt Toronto would want to keep him in the East. I saw on another site someone said the Isle for Dobson, but I would laugh that off if I were the Islanders.
The Leafs fucked themselves by giving everyone and their sister a no trade clause.
Would work money wise and I think the Flames have quite a few pieces that Toronto could use, including a goalie. Add in Tree having ties to the Flames and you've got something. However, would Marner want to go there? I'm not sure the lights are quite bright enough for him there.Marner to Flames?
That leaves us with Habs, Rangers, Chicago and Boston if he cares about spotlight that much.Would work money wise and I think the Flames have quite a few pieces that Toronto could use, including a goalie.

I like the Rangers, but I think it will be in regulation and probably by a couple. 4-2 or 3-1.So Rangers-Hurricanes, who we got?

Plus all the drinking and gambling we both doI would like to say I get you two confused just because of both having 5 letters and the x at the end.
I was being nice and not going to mention you're both degenerates.Plus all the drinking and gambling we both do

Yeah probably going with home wins in this series.I like the Rangers, but I think it will be in regulation and probably by a couple. 4-2 or 3-1.
I do think the series goes 7 though.
The Leafs looked like an 8th seed trying to upset a president trophy team.
They were shoveling pucks out of their zone, with zero intention. Just to relieve pressure.
It reminded me of 100 point Wings teams vs. Edmonton or Calgary. And they got us a couple times. I'm not hating on the strat, but.. Toronto is not that team, and they have all that money in their stars, and none of them could get a offensive cycle when the game got real.
Knives, Bertuzzi and Nylander were the only guys who were able to be catalysts for some sort of offensive pressure in game 7. That's unacceptable.
Sheldon has to go, and they need D and probably a goalie. Same story
Question is who would take his contract?
Couple guys who play in same position and roughly same age. Rantanen paid 2m less, Pasta paid 300k more, Kucherov paid 1.5m less (3 years older), Tkachuk 1.5m less.
Even if Marner was paid same amount as those guys, would have any of them over Marner.
Yeah. Like I said... they remind me of the English national football team. They should win a lot, but they don't for whatever reason. Teams like Edmonton have a better excuse because until recently people would straight up refuse to play there. Or they had to overpay them to. Or they would get, for example, Peca and he would immediately leave, or Pronger, and his wife would demand that he leave.
Nothing has changed in 14 years. Longer than that actually. Best bar from the 2010 Olympic welcome song:
