Not mention, stutter stepping after missing the pass. Retreat to the neutral zone, and manage the gap. Nope! Stutter step, let him blow by, reach around and end up skating backwards in the opposite direction.

There just doesn't seem to be any excitement. Maybe that's by design, and 34 is turning into Yzerman midway though his career (the parallels are *somewhat* there). The proof will be the final 4 years of this contract. All they need is to sign a HOF goalie, 2 HOF defense and a few HOF forwards lol.

You've developed and/or resigned 88, 34, 91, 11 to represent 80% of your top 6. Then run a north/south game that plays to the coach's strength, but not the actual on ice personnel.

Historical slow starts notwithstanding, these Leafs look very disjointed. If the identity is to be a forechecking, dump/chase team. They have the wrong personnel. I'll never understand why teams try to turn players into something they're not, instead of playing to the strength of the team.

They irony of the way that article is titled by our "own" media.

That's pretty dope! It's like looking in the past. Incredible to think the amazing discoveries that are out there.

At some point, someone sold the jewelry to a collector. But now that Drake, (a hip-hop artist, no matter how you feel about him), buys it.... "it should never have left 'Pac's family". Pac is my GOAT, but this is unnecessary hate.
We fight amongst each other. Where was the fight these past years?

It sucks how true this is. I started here to avoid political biases. But missed the instant news on the other app, so slowly started adding. Now the depressing experience is here too lol. I'll figure out the "feeds" and try my best to keep this app to mostly sports.

Start with Domi, but I think Maccelli will surprise people and finish the year on the top line.

This is such a good point. ".. the hockey world’s been saying for years that the Leafs can’t win with a Core Four making all that money. Now, they’re saying they can’t win because they don’t have enough high-end star power."

The Morris street bikelane-gate makes no sense to me. I see the headlines, and I'm still baffled why this is the hill he wants to die on. It's gotta be grandstanding, right?

To be fair, 20 goal guy McMann did not show well in the playoffs, despite appearing in every game and playing over 12mins per game (0g, 3a). Joshua scored 4g, 4a albeit with 3 mins more per game in the same amount of games.

What do you think she said to her colleague (Chief of Staff), before ducking behind her? I'll go first:
"Is the camera still on me?"
Chief of Staff, talking through her toothy smile: "Honey, I'm pretending that I don't even know you"

Yeah the sorting was the issue with Spotify as well, actually. I changed my storing to "newest" vs that fixed it. But I listened to the 2023 pod anyway lol. Good opportunity to hear you guys kick Babcock's back in for a bit 😂

Are your pods hosted exclusively on Apple? I saw this post, and instinctively started listening to the first option on Spotify until I realized a few minutes in, that it was from 2023 😂. I then followed the link in your bio, but the last one is from June 26th.

I was wondering the same thing last week, after Friedman alluded to the Leafs needing to clear cap space.

I'm confused with the article referencing the Leafs need to clear up cap space. They've got just under $5m in cap space (according to Puck Pedia), with Roslovic coming off of a $2.8m deal. It also referenced Mangiapane, but he signed for $3.6m. What am I missing?
