I am perpetually stunned by the opposition PK's failure to keep track of McDavid and Draisaitl on an Oilers powerplay. Hyman and the Nuge do sweet gently caress all without those two you don't need to worry about them.

It's still funny just how much Draisaitl resents having to do anything at all on the backcheck.

I’ve been on team Mitch Marner is a Headcase for a while now but his decisions with the puck right now are pretty shocking even to his usual standard

That's soon to be Selke runner up Mitch Marner to you

Watching Florida with the puck in the offensive zone actually move guys to the net and pressure defenders while the Leafs are playing their usual game of getting the puck in the corner and not even looking into the slot really reinforces to me that Sheldon Keefe hasn’t learned a drat thing

I think you'll find he's learned a thing or two about respect in those handshake lines over the years

Every time I see Carter Verhaege I am reminded that the Leafs traded him and a bunch of junk for 80 games of Michael Grabner.

every time i see leafs fans complaining about McCabe i wonder if ive traveled back in time and they're complaining about brian McCabe

Yeah it felt odd that the Leafs would put their faith in about gaffe prone defender named McCabe. Felt like tempting the fates.

He’s a weird guy, he does good things on occasion and has good tools but his decision-making was spotty in the regular season and it’s gotten worse as the games go on. It’s his first playoffs and I wonder if the combo of not really being comfortable with Keefe’s system and the anticipation has gotten to him.

I still don't know why Dubas didn't move basically the exact package he traded for McCabe to be in on Chychrun.

Koopa Kid posted:

My understanding is that the Coyotes were turning that level of compensation down consistently and then traded Chychrun for less once the market dried up, so Dubas saying “gently caress it” and trading for McCabe was one of the reasons Chychrun got traded for a similar deal, if that makes sense

Sure, he blinked. Dubas sure hasn't managed to come out on top of a single trade yet. The guy has bled draft picks and has nothing to show for it. Weird decision.

He's a playoff hero! You have to spend first round picks because he was good for a few weeks four years ago.

I can’t stress enough how lovely ROR has been since game 3 against Tampa. It’s simply crazy.

He's been old and lovely since pretty much the moment the Blues won the cup.

I love that there's one guys who's job it is is just to keep a camera trained on Dubas in situations like this.

They should simultaneously detonate all the arenas where the fans can stand up and block the camera.

Doesn't Dubas not have a contract after this? He's gone for sure.
