I’m going to the Islanders game. @rapinoes smirking revenge

Long story short was going to surprise my girlfriend and She (Islander Fan) can’t go. She got sick at the last night, so taking my uncle. As much as i dislike the Islanders, they’re a hell of a lot cheaper than Rangers admittedly and only 20Mins away.

I’m actually gonna be serious. I’m impressed by Schaeffer. He’s gonna be good for them for years to come.

have fun watching a real team
 
Ive seen some highlights, the kid can certainly play!
He’s definitely gonna be a cornerstone for them. I’m hearing a McKenna and this year’s upcoming draft is the next like Gretzky type player. I’m wondering who’s gonna get him.
 
What's everybody's favorite player? Mine has always been Patrick Cane since i even knew what hockey was.

I have more confidence in them beating in Colorado. MY dream scenario would be Colorado and Tampa Bay eliminated.
Thats a series I am going to enjoy. Makar vs Hughes, MacKinnon vs Kaprizov. Big talent on both sides.

That’s a series i cannot see a sweep happening. As much as i want Colorado to lose, i don’t want it to happen in a sweep.
 
Had a feeling Edmonton wouldnt McDavo/Dray there way back to a final.

Pretty sad, the kryptonite for both Leafs and Oilers, being Florida doesnt even make the playoffs and what happens, Leafs tank hard and Oilers out in first round.

The oil is problem is that they don’t have a legitimate goalie they have everything else besides that.
 
I wasn’t confident in him honestly paid, but they got rid of him as well. 😂😂
Yeah and they moved off him for someone just as questionable, and then he lasted what, 2 games? They really have to find a goalie.

That’s exactly my point. They had someone like a Saros for example we would be in a completely different conversation. I’ll even go so far am say this Toronto has a better goaltender situation. But they have other issues no offense.

Just the overall fact that in the last, 3 years... Askarov was traded, Gibson was traded (older but viable), Markstrom, Ullmark, Thompson... So many options but they go for Jarry who had idential numbers to Skinner. Just head shaking

Are they allergic to good goalies? 😂😂
 
Tampa Choked!
LOL not quite... That was about as even and won in the last game series as you can get.

Im glad Canada still has a team in the fight. I sure didnt have Montreal vs Buffalo of all teams to be facing eachother in the second round.
 
Was legitimately just about to post this. Do you think Colorado’s going all the way? I think Minnesota is the team that could stop them if any.
I said it at the start, its Colorado's cup to lose I think... They are built very well at all ends of the ice.

3-1 now. Minny is for real as well, we will see if they can execute.

If they had a week link, it would be goalie, but he’s not super terrible.

Who are you pulling for?
 
Even though Vegas is winning this game, I don’t have a preference as to who would want to lose. I’d love to see I guess if someone told me I had to pick someone in Vegas, so John could keep his coaching job. He’s a fantastic coach and just some places didn’t work out.
 
He’s a fantastic coach and just some places didn’t work out.
He is... He just has a shelf life, which is 100% his MO. Hes a closer coach. You want change, to win, to whip butt... Hes one of those coaches. Same as what Darryl Suter was in LA.
 
Who do i want to win the draft obviously my team. Who do i think legitimately needs the most Vancouver tonight.
 
Id like to see Calgary 1, NYR 2, Toronto 3 and the rest drop... Vancouver self imploded themselves, Chicago has had too many low picks. They dont deserve a top pick.
I honestly, dont care as long as no team above 5 wins and pushes the Leafs out of top 5.

Am I this is my opinion. I would love to see Calgary New York Vancouver no specific order 1-3. 100% Agree on Chicago also.
 
@Drock Give you my take on something. That. I thought the draft lottery was usually an hour long. I guess this year they say it’s a half an hour. That’s very good of them.

There is only so much filler you can do for 3 lottery ball drops LOL. The hour long show was brutal.
Half hour is perfect, get to the point, hype up the top 5 players or so, inform everyone how screwed the Leafs could be, then good night!

Congratulations i have no words. I’m speechless right now and I’m not saying that as like i’m annoyed. Sharks also jumped up.
 
Minority for this. But you need a defenseman more than you do a Gavin. You have some offensive pieces, but you really don’t have any defensemen at all.
No honestly, we need this kids skill and point production to replace what we lost when Marner walked.
YES we need a dman, but if you think they would pass on McKenna just for a position of need, thats not the smart play. That would be like when Colorado picked McKinnon, but they were loaded up front and needed D, they could have picked Seth Jones, the were even criticized for picking Nathan. Look how that turned out?

Its McKenna all the way and we will solve the D another way.

I feel bad for you bud, 3rd down to 5th... But you will still get a really solid pick at 5.

Seth. 😂

I am hoping we pick Manny’s son at five.

I would laugh my ass off, though if you actually passed on Gavin.

Well I dont have a ton of confidence in Chayka... but even he cant be that stupid... right?
 
Number two Ivan isn’t terrible as well to be fair. After those 2 idk.
After those 2 its some decent top 4 dmen and Manny's kid. The top 5 is pretty solid no lie. Thats a big reason I wanted us to keep our pick this year, get a player who can help now, and give Boston a pick in the 20's for the Carlo deal.

Step 1 is now complete.

You know how btw nice seeing you in sports before.

Do you know how every single draft year there’s like a year where there’s really good prospects and then there’s that year where there’s a generational prospect I feel like this year is that year for the generational prospect and next year they’re just gonna be solid very good players if that makes sense.

Example last year’s draft do I think Schaeffer is generational absolutely not but he is a very good player. @rapinoes smirking revenge

Yup... I mean jury is out, Im not sure McKenna is generational, I think he is just a slot below or on the cusp of generational. I sure hope for the latter. Hes one heck of a skilled kid though, exactly what the Leafs need for Matthews and Nylander. That can slot Knies back down with Tavares and Cowan nicely. Suddenly our top 6 looks good and we can stop pretending Domi or Macielli are top 6 players.

The leafs could use a top six physical player. That would be my only reason for taking Ivan respectfully right now. Gavin is getting in a bar fight does not make him physical lol.

We have that with Knies and Cowan. We needed skill and points to replace Marner. Gavin does exactly that.
