  1. First and like this if you like hockey and plzz watch my videos I need to beat him with views we did a bet I need only 10 more views

  2. Lol eastern conference teams think Gudbransen is good 😭
    Don cherry said the leafs should give up marner for gudbransen! And the canucks are turning down 1st round picks because they said they want to “re- sign” him, so the teams will give up even more for him. Good bluff nucks

  3. After tonight…. 50 shots? It’s not hard to see why NYI are the worst. They need D!!!! Maybe a goalie too… but D as well. They are both right… but tonight Griess still made key stops! Blame the D tonight!

  4. Unless they want to eat 80% of martins salary he’s not going anywhere. What makes you think anyone else would want him if the leafs don’t

  5. Leafs are in a great position. Cap is going up, a number of contracts expiring, and Nylander/Marner projected to make less than expected on new contracts. Get rid of Martin for any return. We don't need his contract and I prefer Leo on 4th line. He's got grit and skill. JvR's hands are invaluable and he'll have that skill for a number of years. Keep him.

  6. The big issue on D is that we need a partner long term for Riels. Someone with a Right shot who is a younger version of Hainsey. Barrie is not that guy. Neither is Zaits as we tried that. And we can find a guy like that for Hainsey money. I think Gards is going to be the carrot we dangle to get the guy we want. Dermott and Borgman aren't far off from being ready to pair with Zaits long term. My guess is we get a depth rental for right side this year….and then next year we unload Gards. His contract is coming up anyway and I'm not good with giving him a big raise.

  7. Matthews, Marner and Nylander should they all stay with the Leafs long term they should be among the top 15 greatest Leafs of all time, maybe the top 10. I love this team the way it is. Kapanen and Dermott both look good. I still don't like the 3 year Marleau signing. The Leafs should keep Matthew, Marner, Nylander, JVR, Bozak, Kadri, Brown, Hyman Gardiner, Reilly as their core if at all possible. Resign JVR and Bozak to 2 year contracts. Bozak should come reasonably cheap. He's a clutch face off guy and that talent is golden at key times. JVR is your net guy, Marner the passer, Kadri the agitator, and Nylander and Matthews the goal scorers. Brown and Hyman are key guys on this team too. Love the team as is.

  8. Only way someones taking martin is if the leafs take back a bad contract like a brooks laich eric fehr kind of scénario hipefully its a pending ufa so we dont get stuck with a big contract to bury in the minors i like martins présence but we have too many players scratched now might as well try an get something

  9. Hard to be a high scoring team but bad goals against?? Really Doug MacLane? Its hard to be a high scoring but low goals against team. Kypreos, Lawton, MacLane are the worst hockey analysts. 😞

  10. Leafs could have signed Eric Stall for basically the same money that they signed Martin for. If you could get a d like Gubrandson, Tanev, who actually play defense then I would move him.Use the money to sign Bozak. JVR value has never been higher, lets remember the leafs traded him for Luke Schenn so moving him makes sense. Komorov is a good player as well in the playoffs but its not like you can't call up someone from the Marlies to play a fourth line role. When the leafs say they are using these players like a own team rental , i think that means that they are content with the team as is and not to expecting much for the playoffs. Move these players out and let Soshnikov Leivo and Kapenen play because all those players are young and have something to prove. You can't judge them on their 12 games they played give them the last 20 games and see what they are made of. Perfect example is Travis Dermott and others waiting for the old guard to move on so that they can play.
