26/27 NHL SEASON!

So you trades Knies. @Drock
So I just left the cottage at about 2... nothing but my phone blowing up about the potential of trading Knies. I was torn, no way, dont trade Knies, guy is a stud top 6, signed for 8mil long term... but the media just hasnt let this go, so there must be something there.

Yeah we just traded him for a big upgrade, Marchenko is a 6'3 stud right winger, we have the left covered, and signed now for 12.5 over 6. Great deal and he is an upgrade over Knies as much as I liked Knies, this is a win for the Leafs.

This overall trade, was a steal for the Leafs.

If I was Columbus, I would’ve tried to get a first out of it, but it’s a very even trade in some aspects.
They were over a barrel with Marchenko basically telling them hes out...
That and Toronto dont have 1sts for the next 2 years 🤣
Although I keep hearing that 2nd round pick is conditional, im not sure on the conditions yet.

This is the first good trade you’ve made in time.
 
Honestly, I am shocked by this, but Chayka has done really well since taking the job, and I did not think he would do what hes done to date. The guy came to manage aggressively and turn this team around quick.
I’m not following. I’m sorry is he the one that they replaced with?
 
It looks like both of our teams lost. At least you put up goals.
Yup, on to tomorrow bud!

I didnt hate my teams performance, they clearly looked like a team with a ton of turnover, but had quite a bit of pop in some shifts. Marchenko looks like the real deal and Matthews looked healthy. Nylander was a beast on that second goal. Our PP needs work, that should have been a difference maker and it was just flat.

We were good up until the last five minutes of that game. We don’t have it easy next game because it’s Tampa. I don’t know if you have cable. But on TNT tomorrow there’s like two games. Colorado and one then you have the battle of Pennsylvania.

I am checking on Espn app I’m loving knowing that McDavid only has one point an assist Leon is a minus one and they’re losing.

When are hockey fans gonna realize this the Oilers are ass until they get a legitimate goaltender. If they had someone from like sorry Ilya, let’s just say from the Islanders that would be a game changer for them.

Former Bruin DeBrusk makes it 3-2.
 
You made out alive with a victory. Against the team you should’ve scored at least 3-4 goals against.
The finish will come, this was a good first step. The lines w ere starting to gel, too many players trying to make too many passes though, take more shots when you have the chance and goals will come!
 
Right on! I cant remember the last goalie goal.
I’m impressed that we won this game. Don’t get me wrong. I am also impressed that Igor scored a goal. But i am more impressed that we killed off 6 out of 6 power plays against the team that’s usually always in the top in that category.
 
The fact that Ron’s done it with intention twice. It’s been said that Igor has been compared to Mike Smith in terms of his hand handling the puck.

I can’t figure out if Detroit is playing the Rangers in their first game of the season. We are winning 1-0 though.
 
I also feel like the Oilers Detroit needs a legitimate goalie.
Detroit isnt doing anything... Edmonton does need a legit goalie to compete. They cant score 9 every game lol.
If they were to somehow land Hellebuyck, and I doubt Winnipeg would deal with them, they win the cup.

I’m saying Detroit is making progress. And with a legitimate goaltender that progress would speed up they’re nowhere near winning the cup anytime soon, but I think they could be a playoff team.

I believe he said he doesn’t wanna go to another Canadian market. I believe he wants to come back to America.
 
I am loving this score right now!
I am not liking the score right now!
You litterally could reverse those for how the Leafs game went tonight... I did not like the score at first, then I loved it at the end!

McKenna with his first goal, a beaut, and first assist as well tonight!

Matthews though was the story, he was dominant, 4 points, strong on the puck again, making plays, showing that hes a legit game breaker!
 
Both games were good.

Thats brutal... after your team was having a great start too.

On a happy note, Leafs beat Colorado tonight!
That was an impressive win. I think we still have a very, very small chance. I’m just trying to be positive.

Am I upset we got shut out yes but we got the point and he played fantastic. How is that Johnny T injury working?

I’m hearing rumors that you’re willing to give up a really solid player for a defenseman. Does that mean Easton’s on the block?

That seems to be the rumor... Easton would be the only chip of value, especially with his strong start. I hope not, unless its bringing back a top tier Dman. If they trade him for like, Nikushkin, Ill riot.

Alex is a young defenseman with a lot of promise to be fair. He should be getting power playtime. Apparently he’s good enough to quarterback.

But Back to the point that I was gonna make I like the Rangers but I’ll follow hockey as a whole so if there’s any news that I find out or anything on any team.

Any team looking to trade with Toronto and Toronto does not include Easton in the package is a no starter for me because Easton is a young up-and-coming forward who can play and your team really needs defense right now.

On the flipside though i would not trade Easton for a veteran defenseman who’s only going to be playing like 1-2yrs more in the league.

You know more than me on Leafs and you could give me an example. Is there anyone other than Easton that’s good enough to be given up? That has potential and promise? (Excluding Goalies.)
 
it's crazy how that last game became an OT game, especially when the Rangers killed the penalty. You should probably stop thinking of this goalie as trade bait, and actually see him as a competent back up who plays as a starter.
Well, here’s the thing when he comes back. I think he should be the backup. he’s playing well enough and deserves it.
