  1. Speaking of Marty. Does anyone remember how bad the 1990 draft was for Vancouver.

    I know Calgary chose poorly for their goalie of the future. But Vancouver had 3 picks in the top 30 and absolutely swung and missed on every single one. In a really decent draft.

    Lastly. I don’t need to have a classic in Vancouver. I’d just like to play in another. Some teams are going for 3rd outdoor game this year. And there’s a few teams that are not getting any love.

  2. Honestly wouldn't be shocked to see another team take a shot on Samsonov but I'm not hip to the "claiming off waivers" these days and used to think it was pretty simple but maybe it's not quite that simple.

    All the best! Happy new year!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Fleury, Brodeur, Roy & Luongo. All the 1000 game goalies are from Quebec. I wonder if there's any hidden meaning in that.

  4. TML is a joke we should just sell for TDL and try next year.
    No one will take Samsonov so TML have 2.4M wasted cap buried so now even worse situation to try get a trade for defense or goalie or any type of toughness.

  5. I sincerely hope that someone picks up Samsonov. Only a good start. Next up, when will the coach for Canada's Team be bounced out on his fat ass?? Hire Bruce. Fantasy Stanley Cup final – Canada's Team coached by Bruce facing the Canucks.

  6. Been expecting this for a while now with Sammy, I dunno what's going on with him but he just isn't playing anywhere near NHL level. Hope he bounces back. It'll be interesting to see what the Leafs do from here, give the AHL rookie a shot or will they look to a trade?

  7. Topronto needs to look at more than their goalie.
    What can they expect when a line change allows a 3 on 1 with Gaudreau out there for the other team. That's on coaching and players not noticing and all going off at once. Leafs are guilty of plenty of plays like that.
    Then there are so called hockey analysts on Sat. who didn't point out deflections and or sticks and Leaf's own players in front of the shots.
    Cherry would have pointed those things out.
    Poor defence all the way from coach outwards caused most of the issues.
    A different team will do him good.

  8. If you take a look at Alberta right now, it currently doesn't look like a normal winter as there's barely any snow or ice on the ground, and temperature lows haven't hit negative double digits that much compared to previous years. Maybe further north towards the territories and west towards the mountains they have a fair bit of snow, but not much in the prairies.

  9. Unless the Maple Leafs manage to acquire the second coming of Curtis Joseph, whoever they bring in will be the next in a series of goalies thrown to the wolves. The defence aren't good enough and their elite all-star forwards are often allergic to backchecking.

  10. Yeah, teams are looking for goaltenders, but the GMs are pretty much saying "We're not that hard up" when they see what is hitting the waiver wires.
