By “that thing” do you mean a combo of undisciplined Nurse penalties and bad goaltending? If so, then yes.

No team with Brady Tkachuk, Nick Cousins, and Ridly Greig deserves nice things.

Again, fuck the Sens. Glorious Martinook.

Point stands, but the game continues.

Ahahahaha fuck the Sens.

Dreger says he believed the Flames wanted two firsts and Easton Cowan for Rasmus Andersson.

There are maybe 10 dmen I would trade that package for.

It's the hope that kills you.

Yes, I am a huge Utah Mammoth fan for the next two weeks.

Slafkovsky with three powerplay goals tonight, which is 3x Mitch Marner’s total in 70 career playoff games with the Leafs.

This is really poor form by TSN.

Naturally he’s gets a shutout in Game 1 😆

If the Canes are going with Freddie Andersen in this series with OTT: Sens in 5.

Fun fact: whenever this happens, the shooter HAS to say “Hoop, there it is!” or it doesn’t count. They won’t put it on the board.

A merciful end.

Most trying season of your LFR career?

Oh and the Habs are good now.

Goodbye, 2025-26 Maple Leafs.

This season tested my fandom like none other. Bad hockey, terrible vibes, Marner narratives, a coach with no answers, Matthews shaking Trump’s hand, Treliving’s awful deadline, Pelley’s conference, & all that’s come out about organization dysfunction. Desperate times.

Leafs clinch fifth-last.

And now we’re at the mercy of bingo balls.

Willy. Stop it.

Who’s going to be tonight’s Boyd Devereaux?

The Drive to Bottom Five, April 15

April 14 outcomes:
+2 points:
+1 point:
0 points: CGY, VAN

Current Leafs placement: 5th-last
Points away from 5th-last: 0

Leafs clinch bottom-5 with a loss of any kind tonight. If they win, they need to hope SEA get 1 of 4 points in their remaining games.

- 8 points and 45 shots in 56 games this season.
- 1 point and 3 shots in 12 playoff games last year.
- 4 points and 27 shots in 30 playoff games as a Leaf.

But he's so versatile!!!

One of the least-impactful players I've ever seen in Blue & White.

Enjoy the $8.4M, Calle: you didn't earn it.

I give mine too hard a time.

Who else has this much blind belief in me? No one.

Guess I’ll throw my hat in the ring.

R.I.P Toronto Maple Leafs Organizational Competency
2015-2023

Probably the lowest I've felt as a Leafs fan since 2008.

Pelley's such an unserious person.

With this, the Leafs cannot move down to fourth-last position. Fifth-last is the best possible outcome (lose in any fashion vs OTT, or win and hope SEA earns 1 point in either of their remaining two games).

They measure those simple things at a more meaningful level.

35 shots from centre ice are different from 35 slot shots, which expected goals helps with.

But on the NHL.com summary page, it’s all the same.

Advanced stats don’t bend the very nature/logic of hockey. It’s just better context.

Simplistically, hockey is a game of scoring more goals than your opponent, & you score goals by taking shots.

But advanced stats introduce important context around game state, possession (using shot attempts as a proxy), and shot quality, which are better predictors of winning than pure goals/shots

Colorado far and away in the lead among playoff participants, but Tampa’s closest in second.
