ah perfect, thanks. I thought it was hawks kings but they didn't play the years i had in mind. Is there a way to watch the full game with bob cole commentary or is that all memory holed in a cbc basement somewhere?

I know there used to be a youtube video of the whole thing but I can't find it. Pretty sure it was in a downgoesbrown article somewhere, maybe a puck daddy retrospective?

Samsonov will flash in the regular season then break your heart in the playoffs, good luck.

You are… familiar with the last 6 years of Leafs hockey, right?

I thought it was funny that the Leafs were relying on Murray this year. But now to find out that they’re relying on Murray to stay HEALTHY? Dubas, you fool. You glorious fool.

Ilya Samsonov was signed specifically because the team knew they couldn’t bank on Murray carrying a starter’s workload, otherwise they’d have just kept Källgren up and spent the surplus on Evan Rodrigues instead of PTOing Zach Aston-Reese.

Nobody was relying on Murray for anything, and the current sensationalism around the Leafs maybe having to use an EBUG tonight is overblown and also pretty normal, most teams would have an issue if one of their goalies went down the morning of a game.

Just like the “Mitch Marner is a defenseman now!” nonsense the usual media people are drumming up clicks over stuff that is absolutely routine. The Leafs have a goalie tandem for a reason, when two goalies get hurt within 12 hours of each other on game day that would be a challenge for most teams (except it’s not because Källgren ended up being fine).

Everything’s packaged like a disaster because they know people can’t resist credulously gobbling up anything that seems like bad news about Toronto and it never fails to work because hockey fans are greedy little pigs for misfortune.

Yeah I said all offseason, the issue wasn’t necessarily taking a flyer on Murray it was taking a flyer on a guy who’s so expensive that you can’t afford to build up the team around him. Dubas said after the trade that Ottawa had another offer and it was take 25% or not acquire him, which is yet another self-own because if that’s the case just don’t acquire Matt Murray

Murray going on LTIR isn’t the worst thing, he looked rough in the game he did play and now the Leafs won’t have to make a move to get Liljegren or Robertson back on the roster if they want to.

I mean that's pretty laughable but it's also highly likely that the person has their account set to not accept any direct messages, to avoid all the nasty stuff that people would almost certainly be spamming them with. So there really isn't anything the NHL can do other than send a dopey reply asking them to message them.

The claim was that the Leafs only have three goalies with pro contracts in North America while being at the 50 contract limit and that is very much not normal.

People make a big deal of the contract cap and it’s never an issue, it’s very easy to move some nobody for future considerations if they need to bring someone in. There’s no doubt in my mind that if they were in a bind Petruzelli would get a deal and some nobody like Gaudette or Kral would find themselves in Edmonton, but that doesn’t happen in ~6 hours.
