After 660 games, Alex Ovechkin and Auston Matthews are tied in career goals.
(I'm a bit late on this, Matthews just played #663 and is +4 at the moment. We'll see where he lands by game 680.)

Did he seriously fucking say we’re not getting pucks in deep enough?
Can’t get pucks in deep if your team never has the fucking puck, Craig!

Craig Berube on the difference in the Leafs' mistake-ridden play this season: "We put pucks deep the second or third most in the NHL last year... It's not an easy way to play, but it's a winning recipe... It works."

After Friday’s practice, Craig Berube discussed the vibe of the team after six straight losses, William Nylander’s return on Saturday, and inserting Marshall Rifai into the lineup. What is the vibe…

As big as I am on retooling, I think I’d rather keep Robertson than get a third rounder for him.

So Brad Treliving’s vision for this team was to make them older, slower, and never control play. Great.

I hate that I’m back into this 2015-16 way of thinking where I’m weighing the pros and cons of winning tonight instead of just hoping for a W.

If Bobby McMann wants Josh Doan money ($6.95M AAV), his days as a Leaf should be numbered.

This Leafs team would be right in the thick of it if they could win seven straight. Just win seven straight, guys.

NJD clearing cap space (Palat trade) to be able to take more salary back in a Hamilton trade?

Great stuff from Steve. Not yelly, just resigned to this season being a write-off. Outlines who needs to go and who can stay.
It’s time to throw in the towel and start retooling. Get what you can for McMann, Robertson, Carlo, Rielly, Joshua, OEL, Maccelli, Domi and come back better next season.

Are we sure activating Stolarz for his first start in months, in the most emotionally-charged game of the season, is the right move?
He is, on the other hand, far more likely than Woll or Hildeby, to throw a blocker to someone's face. So there's that.

Lazy people will point to Marner's departure as the reason the Leafs are underperforming this season, but the data shows they are unaffected both scoring-wise & on the PK, two areas people said would tank w/o Marner.
Injuries + goaltending decline are the main issues. But they do miss him on the PP
