Carolina starting McBackup against us tonight. Get ready for a 40 save shutout.

Only if they throw in Seabrook

So, then we trade Panarin back to Chicago at the deadline for Nylander?

This might work.

Somehow, that was worse.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Nice.

Guess Johnsson took a lot of shots on Pickard in practice back at Ricoh. 12 minute hat trick (Marleau goal stopping it from being a natural).

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

See thread.



Meanwhile, I went to a bar Saturday and some guy with a face tattoo spat in my club soda.

 

[BGDave]

Nice.

That would be a decent cap number and the way the funny math works, would be lower than 6.9 in future years.

Make it so!

What I find odd about this tweet is Savvy does not normally (ever?) speculate on such matters.

At Bellagio Saturday morning and go to bet on the PHA_TOR game. Pickard vs Sparks. Said I wanted to bet on the Leafs and before I know it, I have a ticket paying something like $40 on a $100 bet. Huh? Oh, that was the straight win bet. No, no, no I protest. The line is 1.5 pucks, I want Toronto. Yes, I know Sparks is in net. Yes, I know it is the second half of a back to back. Gimme the darn ticket. I want my +180 damn you!

Settle into the poker room and start getting texts. My boy Andreas Johnsson is taking care of me, proving that there truly is nothing between Pickard's legs.

And won the poker tournament. All in all a good day. Thought about investing my winnings in a SC championship ticket, but the current odds for Les Leafs to win it all is only 9/2. Bleah.

And see today that the Leafs are in third IN THE ATLANTIC and BOS with a game in hand could overtake them. This division is the beast in 2018-19.

I figure Montreal will fall back at some point and Buffalo might be better than we expected but I'm not sure they're as good as they've been (coughs in the direction of Jeff Skinner's shooting percentage) but, yeah, tough group this year.

What Gramma Dubie said.

While we wait Part Deux

At the quarter pole (23-24 games) there are 7 teams that have not had a game go to a shootout.

There is only one team that has finished every game in regulation (no OT at all), Toronto has not put in one second of OT this year

Didn't they just beat Anaheim in OT during that CA trip?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Leafs haven't played in a shootout but definitely played a few OT's. Don't think they've lost any though.

I stand corrected. I misread the standings.

That Marner kid might just pan out.

If the Leafs can get him and AM34 signed next year for total $20M AAV, they will have done something.
