after this week the Leafs will have played all of these teams at least 2x already: Detroit, Montreal, Washington, Nashville, Buffalo, Columbus (3x), Chicago, Pittsburgh, Carolina. maybe this is not so unusual but it feels to me like every game is against a team they played the previous week.

Carolina was up 3-0 on the Panthers in the third and 3-1 with 2:30 left. Maybe Wings fans can remember this point when they flip out about losing a lead.

The Los Angeles Kings traded veteran forward Phillip Danault to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick, the teams announced Friday.


Didn’t realize he was having such a brutal year in terms of production.

Timmy has been real good since I ripped him on CL, not the first time a player I put on notice here responds.

Through almost one period of a viewing of Leafs v Stars I have this observation: I have never seen a team ice the puck so frequently, so zealously as these Leafs. after one basically intentional icing by Robertson Cuthbert tells us that the Leafs are the best faceoff team in the league so maybe this is actually part of the coach and GM's thinking

Watching Robertson Knies Rielly Matthews Domi on a PP makes me think these coaches have never watched hockey before. Not a single right shot

Who’s the best right shot on the Leaves?

The Wings had a noticeable lack of them for a few years

Buffalo winning six in a row is a minor concern because talent-wise, I think they could be in the mix, but they still have most of the conference to pass.

It is absolutely cruel that the Wings are in first in the division in late December and any hold on the playoffs seems completely tenuous.

it used to be Nylander but I think he has vertigo or something, he's a bumbling oaf out there suddenly, somehow

currently the best right shot on the Leafs is indisputibly Troy Stecher. then still Nylander, then Roy, then Jarkrok. then Phil Myers. fin

I dunno if this really applies this early, especially when almost all of those teams are within 3 points of each other!

SNES play buffalo tomorrow. Sabres have won the last five head-to-head, including 4-0 last season and an 8-4 thrashing earlier this year. Miiiiight be time to maybe win one of these.
