He also has the most Stanley Cup rings for someone who is not in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Forget the Stanley cup rings, that face alone should have got him in the HOF.

Also he appeared in more All-Star games out of any player not in the HOF.

Scary to think he was only 50 when he died.

We hired Torts instead of promoting this guy.

He was the glue on those 70's Leafs teams. Really good player. RIP Ron.

FWIW

The AHL playoffs may very well influence what (if anything) Nashville does with Saros this offseason.

We thought we knew that young Askarov was the heir apparent and might be ready next year to make Saros somewhat expendable. Hold your horses on that idea though. In their first AHL playoff round against the Texas Stars, Askarov started the first 2 games and lost 3-6 and 1-4. Milwaukee switched to Troy Grosenick for Game 3, 4 and 5 and rattled off 3 wins to advance to the next round.

Will be interesting to see who they start against Grand Rapids, but perhaps Askarov isnt quite ready for prime time yet. The talk that Nashville is discussing extension with Saros may be more than smoke.

NHL needs to get serious this time - $1million fine loss of a fourth round pick in the 2027 draft and award them with the 2027 Winter Classic/All Star game combo.

"It's okay. Just like with Kyle Beach. And Akim Aliu. And John Doe #2. And Corey Perry. In this case we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong"

Somehow, the prediction is that Demidov and Lindstrom are both on the board at 4 and the Jackets somehow pick Dickinson. And Iginla is available at 9 and the Flames pass. Neither of those things seems likely.

Surin seems too good to be true. Kinda odd that there's still this many Russians going so early given that for 2 years no high level exec has been able to see any of them play in person.

Also, crazy to see a guy pegged to go in round 1 straight out of SAC. Has the NHL ever seen a first round pick out of a high school before?

If I recall correctly, the Sabres selected Tom Barrasso straight out of high school.
